Matt's and Reese's Picks - Week 3

Matt's Picks - Florida -3.5 @ Tennessee
The Vols were clearly looking ahead to this game last week as they barely survived a game Air Force team 31-30. Florida has tuned up for this game by stomping Southern Miss and Central Florida. Florida will win but the Vols will cover.

Michigan +6 @ Notre Dame
Lloyd Carr trys to win his road opener for the first time since 1999. He won't but he'll keep it close and the Wolverines will cover.

Miami +4.5 @ Louisville
The Ville has a very potent offense, but their defense showed it had some holes against Kentucky. Miami has the better defense and they will win straight up.

Clemson +4.5 @ Florida State
Both teams should be undefeated. However, Clemson's special teams gaffes cost them against BC last week while Florida State had a tougher than expected home opener against Troy. Clemson will come out a little flat after their ACC dreams were almost dashed in their first conference game. Florida State will cover.

Nebraska +18 @ Southern Cal
I hate spreads this high involving good teams. Southern Cal dominated Arkansas but were slow starting. Nebraska has a better defense than the Hogs, so they will keep this game relatively close in the Coliseum.

Reese's Picks - Florida -3.5 @ Tennessee - Take Tennessee to Cover
I've been saying it all summer, don't buy in to the Urban Legend Meyers offense. Tennessee seems to be riding on Rocky Top High after demolishing Cal, and sneaking out a tough victory against Air Force. Tennessee will not only cover, they will win!

Michigan +6 @ Notre Dame - Take Notre Dame To Cover
This is a no brainer. Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. Notre Dame wins by a couple of touchdowns, Michigan won't be able to hang with them this year.

Miami +4.5 @ Louisville - Take Miami To Cover
With the loss of their running back, and just the fact that Louisville shouldn't be able to hang with Miami, that's why I'm picking their hurricanes. I know thats a dumb reason, but if I'm wrong, I won't go with this reasoning anymore.

Clemson +4.5 @ Florida State - Take Clemson to Cover
Keep in mind, even though Clemson lost a heartbreaker to Boston College last week, Clemson offense looks much better than FSU's offense and their defense isn't bad at all. If all 3 cylinders are working correctly, look for Clemson to win!

Nebraska +18 @ Southern Cal - Take Southern Cal to Cover
I don't really know much about this game other than I don't believe in Nebraska just yet. USC is still looking mighty tough, go with them.
