Weekend TV Preview


- An absolutely miserable picking weekend for me. Confidence is at a season low, need a big one this weekend....

Last week - 7-17-1
YTD - 65-74-4


Thursday

BYU at TCU (1.5) - Versus - 7:00 pm

I'm really not sure how TCU is favored in this. I know they're at home, but it's not like Amon Carter Stadium is The Swamp. They have a backup QB playing. They played like crap in their game a week ago, against a bad Colorado State team. BYU has a passing offense that can score on just about anyone. They've been way more impressive in their games than TCU. TCU has also lost its last 7 Thursday night ESPN games. Give me the more talented team.
Pick - BYU +1.5

Florida State (-10.5) at NC State - ESPN - 6:45 pm

2 teams that are really bad. This should be an ugly, offensively-challenged, horrible game to watch. I don't plan on tuning in. There's nothing in this game to get me to watch it.
Pick - NC State +10.5


Friday

Hawaii at Boise State (-24.5) - ESPN - 7:00 pm

Boise is another good non-BCS team. Hawaii hasn't looked bad in the past few weeks, covering spreads and giving more talented teams problems. That ends this week. Boise employs a power running game that will beat Hawaii into submission. Add in a decent play-action passing game led by freshman Kellen Moore, and this will be another blowout for Boise.
Pick - Boise State -24.5
