Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NCAA Week 6 Early Games
All times Eastern
Week 5 Results: Rick: 3-10; Flip: 8-5
Friday, October 3
New Mexico at San Jose State (-2.5, 58.5) 10:00 pm (FS1) - Interesting match-up in the wide open Mountain West, where the Lobos have gotten off to a 3-1 start to their season, losing at Michigan in their opener, 34-17, but then racking up three convincing wins, notably hammering UCLA, 35-10, on the road.
San Jose State is 1-3 to open their conference schedule, yet the Spartans are slight favorites. Two of their three losses were by two points (Central Michigan, 16-14) and one point (at Stanford, 30-29). The other was at Texas, 38-7. Their only win was vs. Idaho, 31-28. Their record doesn’t inspire much confidence. Neither does the short spread.
Coin Flip: New Mexico
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Lobos 34 Spartans 26
This one could get ugly if the Aztecs find early success on offense.
Coin Flip: San Diego State
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Aztecs 31 Rams 14
14 Iowa State at Cincinnati (-1.5, 55.5) 12:00 pm (ESPN2) - How good are the Bearcats that the oddsmakers put them up as slight favorites against 5-0 Iowa State and QB Rocco Becht.
Well, they’ve won three straight since losing their opener, 2017, to Nebraska, last week topping Kansas, 37-34. The Cyclones already have two conference wins, beating Kansas State, 24-21, in the season opener, and Arizona, 39-14, last week. They also gutted out a 16-13 win over arch-rival Iowa a few weeks ago, so they appear to be lining up an appearance in the post-season tournament and shouldn’t be sold short.
Coin Flip: Cincinnati
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cyclones 27 Bearcats 24
Michigan may not be a top 10 team this season, but the rebuilding is coming along well. They have two quality wins to their season, 34-17 over New Mexico, and last week’s 30-27 win at Nebraska. Their 24-13 defeat at Oklahoma, their only loss, wasn’t that bad, considering the Sooners’ offensive prowess.
Coin Flip: Michigan
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Wolverines 35 Badgers 10
