College Football Picks 10/22 Part 1

Had a little bit of success last weekend going 4-2 overall with 2-0 on my top picks. I am still baffled by the unbelievable streak of the favorites continuing to cover with ease.  I am leery of that trend continuing  tbut I will be jumping on a few of those today.

To get things going, here are couple of early sides with a full slate coming for the afternoon and evening games.

Leans:

Purdue +3 vs Illinois
Cincinnati +3 vs S. Florida

Writeups:

Purdue- this is a game I identified in my preseason research see working documents. I thought that Illinois had a good chance of going 6-0 heading into the Ohio St game and would be due for a letdown after losing that game. Well here it is, so let's see if Purdue can close the loop on that prediction. However, I also expected to get better play out of their QB position and with the injuries they have sustained, that has not happened so this is just a lean.

Cincinnati- This is a side based on the spread more than anything else. Cinci has played well at home but not on the road. S. Florida started out strong and seemingly should be a bigger favorite than they are. However Vegas made the line just a field goal and so I am thinking that Cinci will be in this game and will have a good chance to win it.
