2019 College Football Week 9: Picks

Here are my picks for week nine of the 2019 College Football season.

Thursday, October 24th
(16) SMU (7-0; 3-0) at Houston (3-4; 1-2)- 7:30, ESPN: I think that this game will be closer than people expect with this being an in-state conference rivals, but the Mustangs will find a way.
Pick: SMU

Friday, October 25th
USC (4-3; 3-1) at Colorado (3-4; 1-3)- 9:00, ESPN2: This could be a trap game for the Trojans with Oregon on deck, but they should still win this game although it will be close.
Pick: USC

Saturday, October 26th
(13) Wisconsin (6-1; 3-1) at (3) Ohio State (7-0; 4-0)- 12:00, FOX: This should be a very interesting game. The Buckeyes have been destroying everyone all season long and I think they'll pull away in the second half against against a Badger team that may not be as good as people think.
Pick: Ohio State

(5) Oklahoma (7-0; 4-0) at Kansas State (4-2; 1-2)- 12:00, ABC: Some people think that this could be where the Sooners get tripped up, but I do think the Sooners win a closer game thank people think.
Pick: Oklahoma

(20) Iowa (5-2; 2-2) at Northwestern (1-5; 0-4)- 12:00, ESPN2: This game I expect to be a lot closer than folks think and I believe the Purple Cats can win this too, but I say the Hawkeyes win it by a field goal.
Pick: Iowa

(21) Appalachian State (6-0; 3-0) at South Alabama (1-6; 0-3)- 12:00, ESPNU
Pick: Appalachian State

Miami (3-4; 1-3) at Pittsburgh (5-2; 2-1)- 12:00, ESPN
Pick: Pittsburgh

Pick: Georgia Southern

(9) Auburn (6-1; 3-1) at (2) LSU (7-0; 3-0)- 3:30, CBS: This should be an interesting game between two SEC West teams. Joe Burrow is making himself a case for the Heisman Trophy and I think he continues it here with a good performance and a win.
Pick: LSU

(6) Penn State (7-0; 4-0) at Michigan State (4-3; 2-2)- 3:30, ABC: Everyone and their brother thinks that the Spartans have a chance to win outright. I get it anything is possible, but this Nittany Lions team is on a roll right now and I think they win by two scores.
Pick: Penn State

(15) Texas (5-2; 3-1) at TCU (3-3; 1-2)- 3:30, FOX: The Horned Frogs are currently a 1-point favorite in this contest despite not fielding the better roster. That said, the better team that's ranked getting points has bit me in the ass a lot this season and I'm not taking chances here.
Pick: TCU

Maryland (3-4; 1-3) at (17) Minnesota (7-0; 4-0)- 3:30, ESPN

(8) Notre Dame (5-1) at (19) Michigan (5-3; 3-2)- 7:30, ABC: This is a big one for both teams as the Irish are still in the Playoff hunt and the Wolverines have an outside chance at a New Years Six bowl. I'm going to take the Wolverines at home to get the type of win Jim Harbaugh has lacked in Ann Arbor.
Pick: Michigan

Pick: Utah

Utah State (4-2; 3-0) at Air Force (5-2; 3-1)- 10:15, ESPN2: This is a sneaky big one in the Mountain West. The Falcons have exceeded expectations this season and I expect them to get a big conference home win here against a good Aggies team.

Washington State (4-3; 1-3) at (11) Oregon (6-1; 4-0)- 10:30, ESPN: The Huskies have played the Ducks very well over the past few seasons, I do think this is a competitive game, but Justin Herbert and company find a way.
