Week 10 College Football Picks
Written November 6, 2009 by Rock Henderson
The fourth ranked Iowa Hawkeyes will look to keep their perfect record in tact when the Northwestern Wildcats come to town. Northwestern has won 3 of the last 4 meetings including an upset win in Iowa City last year. The Wildcats will need a healthy Mike Kafka at QB to have any chance of pulling the major upset. Play: Northwestern +16
South Carolina will seek their seventh victory of the year when they play at 4-4 Arkansas. The Razorbacks feature one of the most explosive offenses in the nation behind Ryan Mallett. SC has the defense to slow down the Arkansas attack and their offense is no joke itself. One of my strong plays this weekend is the Cocks’ getting a touchdown. Play: South Carolina +7
The Navy Midshipmen renew their rivalry with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Jimmy Clausen has thrown for 18 touchdowns and should have a nice opportunity to build on those numbers against an average Navy defense. The Midshipmen gave Ohio State all they can handle and have the rushing attack to keep the ball away from Clausen. The Midshipmen are getting 12 points according to the latest NCAA football odds. Play: Navy +12
LSU @ Alabama is the featured match-up this week in college football. The winner will have the inside track to representing their division in the SEC Championship game. Don’t expect a lot of points in this one, but Alabama will get the cover with a bunch of field goals.

Nebraska hopes to avenge an embarrassing loss to Oklahoma last year at home. The Huskers will go with their true freshman QB over veteran Zac Lee against a very good Sooner defense. Red shirt freshman Landry Jones has done a nice job running the OU offense in the absence of Sam Bradford. Nebraska always gets up for night games in Lincoln and this freshman quarterback actually gives them a better chance to win. Play: Nebraska +4.5
It will be an elimination game for the Big Ten conference title when the Ohio State Buckeyes make the trip to Penn State. Terrelle Pryor is still trying to live up to the hype that surrounded him coming out of high school. The Nittany Lions have been on a tear since their only loss of the year versus Iowa. Look for more of the same dominating football at home Saturday. Play: Penn State -5
The Oregon Ducks are the hottest team in the nation, but they need to be aware of a sneaky good Stanford Cardinal team this weekend. Jim Harbaugh’s team has a big time running back and their true freshman QB Andrew Lucky is going to be a major factor in the Pac-10 for years to come. Getting a touchdown in Palo Alto in a very good spot here gives the Cardinal the check. Play: Stanford +7
Expect the total to be in the 70’s when the Houston Cougars and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane do battle. Cougar QB Case Keenum is putting up video game like numbers and has his choice of playmakers to get the ball to. They should be favored by at least a field goal in this match-up and I think Vegas is way off on this one. Play: Houston -1.5

Got something to say?
Sure Stanford had an extra week to plan for the Ducks but… they do not have the talent and I do not expect a let down… Ducks +14

Stanford was in a perfect spot to get the cover. Didn’t think they would win straight up, but did think a touchdown was too much.
