Friday, October 17

Louisville at 2 Miami (-10.5, 52) 7:00 pm (ESPN) - Miami has been awesome all season, and is ranked #2, deservedly so with a record of 5-0.

Louisville will give them a game here, coming off a narrow, 30-27, loss to #24 Virginia.

Coin Flip: Louisville

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Hurricanes 31 Cardinals 23


25 Nebraska (-7.5, 46.5) at Minnesota 8:00 pm (FOX) - Pure sucker bet. Nebraska (5-1) on the road giving more than a TD while QB Dylan Raola emulates Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes and HC Matt Rhule pines to be head coach at Penn State. These are disturbed people.

Meanwhile, the Gophers (4-2) plot the demise of wannabe Cornhusker nation.

Coin Flip: Nebraska

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Golden Gophers 27 Cornhuskers 22


Saturday, October 18

10 LSU at 17 Vanderbilt (-1.5, 48.5) 12:00 pm (ABC) - Road wins are hard to come by in the SEC or anywhere in college FB. LSU comes in off of minor triumph at home over South Carolina, 20-10.

Vandy earned a week off after surrendering late at Alabama in 30-14 loss. The 5-1 Commodores are much more balanced than the Tigers, with a better offense.

Coin Flip: LSU

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Commodores 30 Tigers 23


14 Oklahoma (-5.5, 43.5) at South Carolina 12:45 pm (SECN) - The Sooners got schooled by Texas last week and look to rebound on the road, a tall order. South Carolina is having a horrible season, 1-3 in conference and just 3-3 overall.

The Gamecocks are having trouble scoring and Oklahoma’s defense gives up just 10 points per game on average. It won’t be easy, but if the Sooners play field position football and don’t make mistakes, they should prevail.

Coin Flip: South Carolina

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Sooners 20 Gamecocks 13



12 Georgia Tech at Duke (-2.5, 61.5) 12:00 pm (ESPN) - Two of the top contenders in the ACC face off, both 3-0 in conference play.

The Yellow Jackets put their 6-0 overall record on the line against a serious foe. A pretty even game, but Georgia Tech appears a tad better.

Coin Flip: Duke

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Yellow Jackets 35 Blue Devils 31


Washington at Michigan (-6.5, 50) 12:00 pm (FOX) - Say Buh-bye to the Wolverines and their one-paced offense. USC humbled them last week, 31-13. Washington, from out of the blue, is 5-1, their only loss a 24-6 setback vs. Ohio State. Hammered Rutgers last week, 38-19.

The Huskies are improving while Michigan is stuck in neutral.

Coin Flip: Washington

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Huskies 27 Wolverines 14
