    After two sterling performances in the opening weeks of college football, I offer to the board the Trader_Jorge College Football Picks of the Week:

    Texas -29 at Rice (4 units)
    Colorado State -6 vs Miami, Ohio (4 units)
    Oklahoma State -24 at SMU (2 units)
    Hawaii +1 at UNLV (2.5 units)
    Florida -3.5 vs Tennessee (3 units)

    and the Super_Jorge Parlay Card:

    5-Play Parlay (1.5 units)
    Syracuse -4.5 vs Central Florida
    Ball State -5 vs Central Michigan
    TCU to beat Vanderbilt
    Iowa to beat Arizona State
    Cincinnatti to beat Temple
    Payout: $1 - $9

    As an Owl, it pains me to pick Texas to cover, but I think they will do it. After last week's flop, Texas will have a score to settle, and after watching UofH run rampant over the Owls' defense, I don't think there will be any stopping the Horns.

    Comments? Picks?

    Ball State vs. Central Michigan:

    Last year Ball State went to Central Michigan and beat them 38-21. Last week Ball State played Pitt close (tied 14-14 at halftime), while Central Michigan has had two close wins over I-AA teams this year (they were losing big to Eastern Kentucky before a wild comeback finish). Central Michigan gave up an average of 37 points in these games. Ball State should be able to score at will. Being a home favorite by less than 6 points, this game is a true value. You can find some incredible values by doing a little research on the under-publicized games like this.

    Hawaii's penalties and turnovers are KILLING me. They have dominated this game, yet are losing 21-14.

    I'm also adding NC State to cover 6.5 versus Tech. This line would be much higher were it not for the heartbreaking loss last week versus Ohio State. Tech on the road is greatly diminshed from Tech in Lubbock.

    How are you doing, incidentally? I assume someone as financially-minded as you has kept good records.

    How have you done historically? This year?

    I'm interested. I've never been much of a consistent gambler... but I wonder how much of it is talent, and how much luck. Have you beat Vegas?

    No love for the Coogs tonight? 42-35 over MSU - I bet ESPN wasn't expecting a 3-1 UH team for next Tuesday's game at ECU.

    Eat 'em up!
