College Football Picks 10/20 Part 1

One pick for me on the early slate...will be back with a full lineup for this afternoon.

Top Pick

LSU/Texas A&M over 53

Writeup

This total seems counter intuitive to me as both teams have generally been known for their defenses. For A&M, that has of course changed with their new head coach however for LSU scoring touchdowns has been an issue to say the least. Conventional thinking would have LSU's explosive defense slowing down the Aggies and then grinding it out on offense to get a win or for A&M, their offense doing just enough to pull out a win against a pretty hapless LSU offense.

Yet, Vegas put this total relatively high compared to their past results. That makes me pretty confident that LSU will be able to move the ball against A&M and conversely the Aggie's offense will be able spread LSU out and identify the favorable matchups and get in the end zone.

Take the over and enjoy an entertaining shootout.
