Florida Vs Utah

Vegas: Utah -5.5

College Football Game Picker: Utah by 15.44

Utah is ranked behind USC preseason after winning the Pac-12 last year. This team will be carrying a serious chip on their shoulders. The revenge factor will be real after losing late to Florida last year. Florida is still somewhat rebuilding. Utah QB Cam Rising will not be available for this game. Utah QB Bryson Barnes who stepped in for Cam Rising last year and went 37-57 for 430 yards and 4 TDs against Washington St. will start. Regardless Utah’s running game should be able to move the ball at will with the 14th ranked running backs and 5th ranked offensive line. Utah’s defense will give Florida fits with the 10th ranked defensive line, 15th ranked linebackers, and 21st ranked defensive backs going against an unproven Florida QB. Look for Utah to cover the line in this one.

This is the battle of Miami from Florida and Ohio. Miami FL will have some big mismatches here with Coach Mario Cristoball want to get a quick start after a poor season last year. Miami FL should be able to move the ball through the air with its 15th ranked QB and 26th ranked receivers going against a very average Miami OH defensive backfield. Miami FL is loaded on defense this year and should be able to hold the Miami OH offense in check. The heat will also bother the Ohio team. Look for Miami FL to cover the spread in this one.

UTSA Vs Houston

Vegas: UTSA -1.5

College Football Game Picker: UTSA by 9.68

UTSA was one of the better non power 5 teams in the country last year and returns 8 starters on both sides of the ball. UTSA will have a mismatch with its 12th ranked QB and 20th ranked receivers going against a very average Houston defensive backfield.

Texas Tech Vs Wyoming

College Football Game Picker: Texas Tech by 21.89

Texas Tech is getting a lot of hype in the preseason with 11 starters returning on a high-flying passing offense.  The Texas Tech 20th ranked QB, 8th ranked receivers, and 35th ranked offensive line should have no problem moving the ball against the average Wyoming pass defense. Wyoming only returns 5 starters on offense and will struggle early to move the ball especially with their top two running backs out with injuries. Look for Texas Tech to cover the spread in this one.
