The college football picks version of the rally to restore sanity schedule kicks off with noon EST winners. The World Series Game 3 is Saturday, but so is football betting. Colin Cowherd has Ole Miss and USC but who do the pro handicappers have?
First of all, Matt Rivers has a free pick Saturday is on Texas laying seven to Baylor.
Robert Griffin is phenomenal and the Baylor Bears are in the midst of their best season in a long long time but only laying a touchdown in Austin with what is still the far superior team in Texas is just crazy.
Mack Brown’s team has been awful at times this season. The loss at home to UCLA was horrific and the last game defeat to Iowa State was probably even worse. UT is not what it used to be, that’s fairly obvious, but these guys are still very talented and this number is way too cheap to pass up.
Just a few weeks ago Texas won as the 10 point dog in Lincoln against a very good, if not great, Nebraska team so the upside is there. Guys like Fozzy Whitaker, James Kirkendoll and Tre Newton are blue chip talented guys. Garrett Gilbert is not Colt McCoy but the kid can run and throw and is not bad at all. He has experienced some growing pains but Gilbert is more than serviceable and will grow into himself being very very good in the end.
Despite the recent poor play and lack of confidence this game is still “Texas” in Austin against “Baylor”. It is a bargain basement price no matter how great and dynamic Griffin is. The Longhorn players are embarassed and it appears that their head coach has put his foot down demanding a lot more passion and energy and I really believe that the guys will come out and prove it on the field. The Bears are solid and have a ton of offensive potential but they are about to feel the wrath of an angry team that will play with some fire and motivation.
In the end the ‘Horns are still clearly the faster, stronger and better team and at home to lay single digits is a must play, period.
The pick: Texas
