Los Angeles Dodgers. NBA bans Raptors' Porter for gambling violations. The Ducks allowed Nebraska Louisiana Tech. It's a lot of points for the scoring-challenged Huskers, but they got things going last week on the scoreboard, and their struggles to date offensively have come against Power 5 schools. Nebraska's defense has been borderline elite, allowing 1.

Louisiana Tech simply looks awful. They're allowing 4. Another lopsided loss is in store here: zero short-term concerns over the Huskers RB injuries. The Bulldogs looked hopeless last week at home against LSU, while South Carolina rallied and was far more competitive at Georgia than expected. I'm banking on a reversal here. Winning on the road in the SEC isn't regular, and frankly, this is a game USC has to win, but I just don't think the Gamecocks deserve to be favored over anyone in the conference, sans maybe for Vanderbilt.

Their offensive line is just woeful, and the run game is non-existent as a result. Mississippi State has been vulnerable to the pass, but that was against the Tigers and Arizona, more prolific air attacks with more weapons. South Carolina, sans Antwane Wells , is far less dynamic.

I expect the Bulldogs to be competitive here. North Carolina This is the second game I pounced on Sunday evening and got the Heels at -6, which I feel very confident in. Perhaps you can shop around or buy a half point and get this back to a touchdown, but it shouldn't be necessary. It's difficult to put into words how bad Pitt QB Phil Jurkovec has been, but the Panthers appear set to stick with him here.

There's a void of skill talent out wide and in the backfield, not helping anything. North Carolina has been vulnerable defensively, and Pitt still can defend, so this could be more of a grind than I'm hoping. But I just see no way Pittsburgh can score enough points to remain competitive.

I have to admit, I did not catch part two of bad beats this past week, so one of my wins may have ended up on there. Either way, that's two weeks in a row I needed a miracle to get above. The week started with an easy winner on Boston College, which was getting nearly four TDs and was in position to win or take the game to OT.

That was followed up by a bad loss, not bad in that it breaks your heart, but bad in that you never had a chance. Alabama was pick number two, and man, was I wrong on the 'Tide. Perhaps they came out with fire, and they just aren't that good, or they are good and had to fire; either way, this is an Alabama squad unlike any we've seen in over a decade.

Minnesota could have been a winner, but too many mistakes, and Duke was an easy winner. The luck factored in on the Ole Miss over, which should not have hit, but as happens in college football from time to time, there was a bunch of scoring very late in the game. A couple of factors in play here.

First, Purdue entered this past week at a bit of a crossroads; the Boilers had lost at home to Fresno State and won on the road at Virginia Tech. Next up was a home date with a decent, but not great, Syracuse team, and they were simply outclassed, never in the game. I think that says a lot about this team. Pitcher to record a win bet Wisconsin was also entering this past week, and while the Badgers' Week 3 test was much easier, they passed with flying colors.

Yes, the game was tight for a half, but it's what happened in the second half that makes me think they can take care of business here. The Badgers started their game with a pass-heavy approach, and it just didn't work. When they went back to a balanced attack in the second half, everything clicked.

I'm expecting the Badgers to build on that performance and start off conference play with a road win. Clemson opened as a three-point favorite, but the line has moved all the way in FSU's favor. This seems a little odd, considering FSU is coming off a very sketchy win at B. It's that line movement that bolsters my opinion on this game.

You'd think the public would be all over Clemson as a home dog against a team that could barely win at B. If this game were at night, I'd give Clemson more of a chance, but I don't think the atmosphere is going to give the Tigers that needed push. Clemson has beaten up on very weak competition over the past two weeks, and while I'm sure that's helped the confidence, I doubt that will help them get ready for this test.

FSU slept through its win this past and got away with it; there'll be no sleeping on Clemson this week. I'm a little surprised at the size of the line in this game. I knew Oregon would be favored by a good margin, but three TDs seems a bit much. With that said, the Buffaloes did not look good this past week, and they lost a very important piece of their offense and defense in Travis Hunter.

I'm still not sure this game will be a blowout, so I'm focusing on the total. Colorado State came out very aggressive this past week, and I think it caught Colorado off guard, on offense at least. I don't expect the Buffaloes to have as difficult of a time getting going this week on offense.

On the other side, though, with the loss of Hunter and seeing how easily CSU ripped through that defense, I have to imagine that the Ducks are going to have a field day. I'm admittedly not sure what this Alabama team is, but if it shows up like this past week, the 'Tide is looking at another loss.

Mississippi is undefeated to this point in the season, but the Rebels haven't earned many style points. Sure, the final scores have been impressive, but they've been in some dog fights through the past couple of weeks. With that said, I'm expecting their best effort this week and the same from Alabama, but honestly, I'm not sure Alabama has the firepower to cover a number like this against a team with a capable offense like Ole Miss.

I have a feeling that Northwestern is going to be a great team to fade all season, especially in roles like this, where it's a midsized underdog. Last week's game played out just as expected; the Wildcats were never in that game, and only a late score made it look closer than it was.

This team has nothing to offer on offense or defense. The Gophers didn't look great this past week either, but I think the problem for them was getting out of their comfort zone too early. The Gophers were forced to pass to stay in the game, and that's just not their game. This week, they get a team that's allowing over yards per game on the ground, so they'll be able to run all day and only pass when needed.

This is a big number to lay in conference on the road, but I don't see the Wildcats scoring much in this spot, so if the Gophers can get points, that should be enough. College football picks week 4 Last Week: ; Season Lane Kiffin decided to run up the score in the final minutes against Georgia Tech, ultimately keeping me from a perfect for the week.

I went with Florida when most of the public doubted them. Let's take a look at how I'll go this week!
