Central Florida at Louisville.
Line: Louisville by 12.5.

Friday, 8:00 p.m.

As a disclaimer, don’t go nuts with my college football picks. I’m much better at picking NFL games (at least I used to be). Follow @walterfootball for updates.

I can’t say I’ve been very impressed with Louisville this season. Despite Teddy Bridgewater being under center, the Cardinals haven’t covered many games. I’m not sure why they’d beat a solid Central Florida squad by 13 or more when the Golden Knights were able to defeat Penn State at Happy Valley and then nearly upset South Carolina.

College Football Pick: Central Florida +12.5 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200







UCLA at Stanford.
Line: Stanford by 6.

Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

UCLA has to feel disrespected as a medium-sized, undefeated underdog playing a team with a loss. Stanford, meanwhile, just saw its National Championship aspirations evaporate. The Cardinal will be flat.

College Football Pick: UCLA +6 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330






Arkansas at Alabama.
Line: Alabama by 28.

Saturday, 7:00 p.m.

Something I like to do in the second half of the season is take elite teams on a roll that happen to be big favorites. Alabama is dominating its competition right now, and I don’t think Arkansas stands much of a chance – especially after that beatdown versus South Carolina.

College Football Pick: Alabama -28 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300






UNLV at Fresno State.
Line: Fresno State by 24.5.

Saturday, 10:00 p.m.

I’m a fan of picking good teams coming off byes. Fresno State has had two weeks to prepare for UNLV. This game should be a blowout.

College Football Pick: Fresno State -24.5 (2 Units) — Incorrect; -$220






Washington State at Oregon.
Line: Oregon by 39.

Saturday, 10:00 p.m.

This is the same situation as Alabama-Arkansas. How in the world is Washington State going to cover this spread when it lost at home to Oregon State by four touchdowns?

College Football Pick: Oregon -39 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330
