Football Picks, October 12th

Five games look promising on the Saturday NCAA menu.

$44 @ 11/10 on Oklahoma (-13) over Texas

The Sooners have won the last two meetings by a combined 80 points. OU is ranked sixth national in defense, allowing only 13 PPG. The storyline of this one will be if the Longhorns can stop the Sooner's running game. Texas allows 249 YPG rushing and Oklahoma runs for 246 YPG. It'll be a long day in Dallas for the burnt orange if they don't have the ball.

$44 @ 11/10 on Houston (-8 1/2) over Memphis

The host Cougars are 4-0 and averaging 43+ PPG. The Tigers are scoring less than 20 a game. It'll be hard for them to keep up offensively, especially if they turn the ball over. Houston is averaging 3.5 takeaways per game.

$22 @ 11/10 on Texas State (-6) over Louisiana-Monroe

The Duck Dynasty gang ain't gonna like this one. Texas State is 2-0 at home this season, beating their opponents by an average of 23 points. The visiting Warhawks only score 9+ PPG on foreign soil and surrender 41. Not good. The Bobcats are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 and La-Monroe is 1-6 in their last 7 ATS. Coach should be happy when this one ends :)

$22 @ 11/10 on Rice (+2) over UTSA

Two great nicknamed teams meet in the Alamo City when the Owls visit the Roadrunners. Rice is 8-2 in their last 10 games, which included a 34-10 thumping of UTSA last season. The Roadrunners have lost 4 of their last 5 and are 0-2 at home this season.

$22 @ 11/10 on Michigan (-1 1/2) over Penn State

The Wolverines are 5-0 ATS this season and their defense has not allowed a rushing touchdown. Penn State's Zach Zwinski has run for 8 of them this year. Who will control the line of scrimmage? Look for Michigan to eek out a win.
