The Picks

Anybody get to watch some football last weekend? I know Dave and Vince were pretty busy with a wedding and Lake Golf Weekend. We watched some on our phones and caught some games, but not to the level that we would normally like. This weekend I think we both plan on catching a lot of games and having a great week! Also look for some breakdowns tomorrow on games and again if you have a game you want us to break down shoot us a comment and we will break that game down.

2 games on the schedule tonight, Virginia @ Miami and Rice at Houston. The Cavaliers head into Miami as 14 point dogs. Virginia is 4-3 and 2-5 ATS this year with their notable win over Georgia Tech. Miami comes in 4-3 and 4-3 ATS with their notable win also being against GT last week. Miami is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games so something has to give here tonight. Dave and Vince both look for Virginia to keep this game somewhat close and to cover the 14 point spread. Wouldn't be surprised to see an upset here but look for Miami to pull out a close one.

Rice @ Houston (-28). (A game not on our board) Houston comes into this match-up at 7-0 and only ranked 17th in the country while Rice comes in 2-5. Rice has lost 4 out of their last 5 with that one win being against a hapless Memphis team. Both teams have played Marshall with Rice losing 24-20 and Houston rolling 63-28. The question here isn't who is going to win, but it is truly by how many. Houston can score at will and I am not sure Rice has any ability to stop them. I think Houston knowing that the BCS doesn't like them so far will continue to try to pile on the points here. I wouldn't be surprised to see Houston put up 60 again but my prediction is 55-14. Lay the points and take Houston to roll!
