Best Straight-Up College Football Picks
UCLA vs Maryland
UCLA opened the season 3-0, but should be feeling the effects of coast-to-coast travel in this game. Maryland holds up well with the Bruins in many statistical categories, and should be set up well to hand UCLA their first defeat of the season. Take the Terps in this one.
TCU vs UCF
In a battle of 2-1 Big-12 teams, TCU is slightly favored on the road. The Horned Frogs opened the season as a borderline top-25 team, and should be set up well to overwhelm UCF with talent in this game. Look for TCU to pull away early and not look back in a confident victory.
UConn vs Miami-OH
Miami-Ohio enters this game as the favorite after playing Cincinnati close. Their advantage is compounded by playing this one at home, but their offense is vulnerable and likely to fall short against UConn. Don’t expect a repeat of last week for the Redhawks, the Huskies should win here confidently.
Nebraska vs Michigan State
Nebraska is looking to improve to 4-0 in this game against Michigan State. It won’t be a breeze on the road, but the Cornhuskers are a borderline top-25 team and hold several notable advantages over the Spartans. Look for Nebraska to win this one by a considerably large margin.
James Madison vs Old Dominion
The Dukes have been the premier program in the G5/G6 since making the transition to the FBS level and are continuing it this season. Favored to win this game and climb to 4-0, James Madison should hold a notable advantage, despite being on the road. Take them to win this matchup.
