Pick: Northwestern +6.5
This Iowa team isn’t as good as the three teams that have been upset by Northwestern the last three years. The Wildcats have won five of the last six meetings in this series, and they will have an opportunity to continue their dominance of the Hawkeyes Saturday evening. If you’ve followed Iowa very long, you’ve witnessed the struggles it has had against spread offenses and versatile quarterbacks. These struggles were apparent in losses last season to Ohio State and Northwestern when Iowa had one of the best defensive lines in the country. Iowa no longer has a dominant defensive front. The Hawkeyes couldn’t even muster one sack against Penn State last week. Without a pass rush, Dan Persa, who led the country in completion percentage last year, will pick the Hawkeyes apart. Iowa plays a bend but don’t break defense with few blitzes and its cornerbacks give opposing wideouts plenty of space. Look for Persa to march the Wildcats right down the field by taking advantage of all the underneath throws Iowa allows. Northwestern’s defense has issues, again, but Iowa hasn’t been able to take advantage. The Hawkeyes haven’t scored more than 17 points in any of their last three meetings with Northwestern. This is partly due to the conservative nature of Kirk Ferentz. Conservative offensive play cost the Hawkeyes against Penn State, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it cost them again Saturday. Iowa will be motivated to end its run of bad luck against NW, but the Wildcats will be equally hungry after blowing double-digit leads the last two weeks. The underdog has covered the spread in each of the last six meetings in this series. The Wildcats are a terrific 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog and 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games as a road underdog of 3.5 to 10 points. We’ll take the points. -Jimmy Boyd college football betting picks
Pick: Texas +8
Motivated by last week’s embarrassing loss to Oklahoma and out to avenge last season’s defeat to Oklahoma State, expect Texas to give the Cowboys a game Saturday afternoon. There is a system in favor of the Longhorns that has been too profitable to ignore. Plays on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (Texas in this case) after 1 or more consecutive straight up losses when matched up against an opponent off 4 or more consecutive straight up wins are 81-39 ATS the last 10 seasons. Teams fitting into this situation have been 7-point underdogs on average but have only lost by an average of 3.8 points. Look for Texas to take Oklahoma State down to the wire. -Dave Price
Pick: Michigan State -2
The Spartans have won the last 3 in this series, and I like them to make it 4 straight Saturday. They have had a bye week to gear up for this one so I expect them to be the more prepared team. Michigan’s secondary was among the worst in the nation last season, and it is still a weakness. Look for a Michigan State passing attack that is among the best in the Big Ten to exploit Michigan’s pass defense in this one. The Wolverines have been able to put up some good offensive numbers, but nothing will come easy Saturday against a Spartan defense that ranks No. 1 in the country with 173.4 yards allowed per game. The Wolverines are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and a lousy 5-23 ATS in their last 28 conference games. Take Michigan State. -Jeff Alexander
Pick: Central Florida +3.5
Too much hype over SMU’s victory over an over rated TCU team. TCU is not the same defense or offense as years past. Now UCF which has never lost to SMU will continue their conference dominance 16-5 ATS in their last 21 conf games while SMU is 8-17 ATS in their last 25 home games and 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 conference games. Central Florida’s defense is the real deal they’ve allowed the 2nd fewest yards on defense in the NATION, and are allowing just 10 ppg. They held SMU to 7 points in the conference championship last year and even more importantly this year SMU can’t get off the field on 3rd down allowing opponents to convert 50% of the time while Central Florida is allowing just 24%. That’ll be the difference! -Freddy Wills (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Michigan State +13
As poorly as the Spartans have played all year long (at least for Michigan State standards), this is a play against Ohio State, as we have yet to see how the Buckeyes play and respond after a loss. Ohio State was up big in the second half at Wisconsin last Saturday before they just blew it. Who knows exactly how this Buckeyes team will come to play. I do know another loss by State is far more damaging than a lackluster victory by Ohio State at home. We’re inching closer to March, and that means Tom Izzo’s teams turn it up. Let’s see if they can’t make it happen a couple of weeks early here in Columbus. We have a full card going on Super Tuesday and you can get all of our picks with a one week package. -Doc’s Sports
Pick: Air Force +15.5
Living in Las Vegas allows me to really know this Conference and particularly the UNLV team. The Rebels have fallen short of expectations once again. Their inability to shoot from long range has killed the squad. They are a mere 29.9% from beyond the arc. Opponents are aware of this, adjust to it, and make it hard for UNLV’s Tre’Von Willis to get to the hole down low. The Rebel’s have been horrible against the number, going 1-6 ATS their L7 overall. It doesn’t get any better at home where UNLV is just 2-8 ATS their L10 when playing host. Air Force has been solid ATS, going 7-3 vs. the number their L10. The Falcons Michael Lyons and Tom Fow are combining for 25.0 PPG and 7.2 RPG. Outside of their 90-52 beat down at the hands of BYU, Air Force has played some good defense. UNLV has had their way over Air Force recently. But that only motivates the Falc’s in this one. The road team is 6-0 ATS in their L6 meetings. Air Force is 4-1 ATS their L5 at UNLV, 5-0 ATS their L5 as a road ‘dog, and 9-3 ATS their L12 vs. the MWC. UNLV is 1-6 ATS their L7 overall, 1-5 ATS their L6 as a fav, and 1-6 ATS their L7 vs. the MWC. Take the points with the Falcon’s. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico
Pick: Utah Jazz +4.5
The Jazz blew a 12-point halftime lead in a loss to Phoenix on Feb. 11. Utah hasn’t played since, which means that defeat has been making its blood boil more each day. Motivated by that loss, and with 3 full days to prepare, expect the Jazz to return the favor. Lately, the Jazz have been a solid investment following an ATS defeat. In fact, they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. The Suns, which are coming off a SU and ATS loss to Sacramento, are just 5-11-2 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS loss. We also can’t ignore how well the road team has fared in this series. Consider that the away squad is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. It is also worth noting that the Jazz are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Phoenix. With a few days for the air to clear following Jerry Sloan’s exit, the Jazz should be much more focused tonight. Take the points. -Jimmy Boyd (Handicapperspicks.com)
