College Football Picks 11/10 Part 1

This week its time to take advantage of the teams that have momentum and the teams that are looking forward to the end of the season and coaches on the way out.

Also I will be breaking the NBA seal later today so don't miss out.

Top Picks

Michigan -8 and Michigan/NWU over 52
Missouri +3 vs Tennessee
Alabama -13.5 vs Texas A&M

Writeups

Michigan- The Wolverines are finally starting to getting it together and suprisingly looked their sharpest with a back up QB. This match up favors Michigan on the offensive side as NWU has had trouble with teams that can throw the ball and mix in the run. NWU will be able to score on Michigan as their defense is good but not great.

Look for this game to go back and forth early but for Michigan to seize control in the 2nd half and stretch out the lead and push the game over 52.

Missouri- OK, the hype over Missouri in the SEC is now settling down as they took a couple of brutal beatings. The reality here is that Missouri has the better overall team. Their defense will be able to get pressure on the Tennessee qb and their offense will be able to score on a mediocre Tennessee defense. Don't get sucked into thinking that Mizzoo can't hang with SEC teams. They are not elite team but neither is Tennessee. Look for Mizzoo to get the straight up win and for the heat to continue to mount on the Vols coach.

Alabama- This is a bit of head scratcher as so many people are picking A&M in the upset here. Bama struggled against LSU but LSU played their best game last week and would have crushed just about every other team except LSU. A&M has not proven that they can step in weight and beat a superior team. We have seen the Aggies struggle against other strong defensive teams and I don't see them being ready to figure out the Bama defense today. Add that to A&M's suspect defense and the Tide gets back on track and puts the doubters back in their place.
