The college football picks<\/a> version of the rally to restore sanity schedule kicks off with noon EST<\/a> 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?<\/p>\n

First of all, Matt Rivers has a free pick<\/a> Saturday is on Texas laying seven to Baylor.<\/p>\n

Robert Griffin is\u00a0phenomenal and the Baylor Bears are in the midst of their best season in a long long time but only laying a touchdown\u00a0in Austin with what is still the far superior team in Texas is just crazy.<\/p>\n

Mack Brown\u2019s 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\u2019s fairly obvious, but these guys are still very talented and this number is way too cheap to pass up.<\/p>\n

Just a few weeks ago\u00a0Texas 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\u00a0Gilbert is more than serviceable and will grow into himself being very very good in the end.<\/p>\n

Despite the\u00a0recent poor play and lack of confidence this game is still \u201cTexas\u201d\u00a0in Austin against \u201cBaylor\u201d. 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.<\/p>\n

In the end the \u2018Horns are still clearly the faster, stronger and better team and at home to lay single digits is a must play, period.<\/p>\n

The pick: Texas<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>Matt Rivers says that\u2019s right, four winning days in a row and counting after 300,000* UCONN wins outright on Friday a day after 400,000* NC State wins outright. I\u2019m feeling great right about now and ready to absolutely bury that Crookie one more time. Four plays today including a fourth straight\u00a0Monster 400,000* in the game from Manhattan between Oklahoma State and Kansas State. Justin Blackmon is expected to miss. What does that mean? I\u2019ll let you know and also give out\u00a0a trio of bonus winners including 300,000* Michigan State-Iowa, 200,000* Oregon-USC and an ultra-rare 200,000*\u00a0two team teaser.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going\u00a0ballistic today in yet another huge winning day! Are you? Click now to purchase<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
