Saturday Football Free Picks to Click

October 18, 2019
free picks for week 8 college football

Every week we study the games and when a few jump out at us we pass it on to our readers. We don’t ask for any money for our picks we just ask that you keep coming back to our site and click our sponsors.

This Saturday October 19, 2019 we have a few games that we really like. College football can be very profitable and this year it has been kinder to us than its big brother the NFL has been.

Michigan at Penn State (-9.5)
Note: Line moved to Penn State -7.5 at 9:57 pm ET, 7+ hours after this article was posted.

We are well aware of Penn State’s whoop-ass capabilities. They have been chopping teams up all year. They beat Maryland and Purdue by a combined score of 94-7.

They did struggle with in-state rival Pitt and only won 17-10 in that one. Michigan is a much better team than Pitt.

Michigan is 4-1 ATS in its last five vs Penn State. Laying 9.5 points to a team that is 5-1 overall seems excessive. And the betting is a bit lopsided on Penn State. These reasons have us taking Michigan plus the nine and a half. If the Wolverines let us down this time they are dead to us until Harbaugh is gone. lol

Arizona State at Utah (-13.5)

Both teams are 5-1 and Utah is laying 13.5 to the Sun Devils. The reason for the gigantic line is that Utah has been taking teams to the woodshed at home this year. They won:

  • vs N. Illinois 35-17
  • vs Idaho State 31-0
  • vs Washington State 38-13

ASU is 2-0 on the road this season having beat Michigan State and Cal. Both were top ranked teams at the time they were played. ASU is 4-1 SU and ATS their last five road games dating back to last season. And here the stat I like the most: Utah is only 2-6 SU in its last 8 games when playing Arizona State. I say back them Devils plus the points and you should be in the money.
