College Football Picks 10/4 Part 2

Here are my afternoon and evening plays:

5 Star Plays:

Georgia Tech -2 vs. Miami
Washington St -3 vs Cal

Top Plays

NIU -26 vs Kent St

Leans

Rutgers -2 vs Michigan
Pittsburgh +5.5 vs Virginia

Ga Tech- I really like Ga Tech's situation here. They are coming off rest and Miami is coming off two pretty tough games. Tech should be laying in wait for them. I like Tech's offense better this year than the last 2 where I thought their head coach was getting fancy and now has returned to the triple option without the extra bells and whistles. Miami has played pretty well on defense however their offense has been stagnant. I expect Tech's defense to slow Miami and for their offense to break through today in an easy win.

Washington St- Another situational play here. I was certainly happy to see Cal get win #3 last week however it took a momentous effort. A reason that they struggled against Colorado was they were flat from having made a similar momentous effort the week before against Arizona. Bottom line is that their tank will be empty and they are on the road this week and those add up to a bad loss for the Bears.

NIU- The Huskies finally return to DeKalb after 3 straight away games. They will be eager to get conference play underway and will make quick work of a Kent team that has not found any offensive rhythym,

Rutgers- Jumping on the anti Michigan bandwagon here. Perhaps Michigan can pull it together but I doubt it at this point.

Pittsburgh- Virginia playing the toughest schedule in the country will be trouble in this one. Pitt will come in confident and has had more rest which will pay dividend in this game. Take the points and put some money on the $ line as well.
