Football Picks, August 31st

Several interesting games on the first Saturday of the college season.

$22 @11/10 on Northwestern (-5.5) over California

The Bears trot out a new quarterback, a new head coach, a new offense, and a new defense. That's a lot to overcome. The Wildcats return 15 starters from a bowl winning team.

$66 @ 11/10 on Baylor (-28) over Wofford

I guess I'm being a bit of a homer on this one, but the Bears offense should roll with Seastrunk (1,000+ yards LY) at RB and Reese (9 TD) at WR. Senior Petty takes over under center for Baylor. The Terriers run the triple option, throwing only 88 times the entire 2012 season. They lost 3 O-Line starters from last years 9-4 team.

$20 on Clemson (+125) over Georgia

#8 hosts the #5 Bulldogs in a match up of two Heisman QB candidates. Boyd takes the snaps for the Tigers and Murray for Georgia. The Bulldogs lost 7 starters from last year's 12-2 team.
