NCAA Football Betting – Week 4 Picks
Online sports betting fans know that the football season goes by very quickly. After all, time flies when you are having fun. Set aside the NFL betting line for this week as we focus on some picks for the college card this Saturday.
The Washington Huskies pulled a shocker last week when they were unranked and knocked off the USC Trojans but let’s take a closer look at that win. For starters, the Huskies were at home. Secondly, the Trojans were without their starting quarterback, Matt Barkley, and without top running back Joe McKnight. On top of that, the Trojans had no confidence in their passing game with Aaron Corp under center and they committed three turnovers.

TCU Horned Frogs @ Clemson Tigers
The TCU Horned Frogs are the last team carrying the Mountain West banner.
It was an ugly week for the conference last week as two of the top teams were pimpslapped by unranked opponents, which has left the Horned Frogs as they only team with a real opportunity at the BCS Championship game.
The Utah Utes, who had the nation’s longest winning streak, lost last week in
This week, TCU head to Clemson and this is both a winnable and a losable game for them.
TCU is very much capable of winning this game because Clemson is a perennial underachiever and they always struggle in big games. On the other hand, Clemson is good enough to beat TCU and the Horned Frogs should be aware that heading to

After feasting on cupcakes
Not only does UGA have an extra game under their belt, but they’ve played three BCS foes, all significantly tougher opponents than either of the Sun Devils tune-ups.
Albeit against a weaker opponent Tennessee-Martin, the Tigers offense had a huge breakout game last week after being among the worst in the country after two games. It was the first game as starter for sophomore QB Tyler Bass.
Bass completed 22-of-28 for 293 yards and four TDs. He also rushed for 80 yards and another trip to the end zone.
Notre Dame vs. Purdue
Irish QB Jimmy Clausen admits his turf toe could affect his play. They are already without top WR Michael Floyd. He will be replaced by two players trying to resurrect their careers. Duval Kamara set two freshman receiving records two years ago, while Robby Paris was second on the team in receiving yards. Each player has regressed since.
TCU vs. Clemson
Clemson star RB C.J. Spiller is questionable with turf toe, though he claims he will be “good to go” Saturday.
USF’s best ever QB Matt Grothe is out for the year. Thus redshirt freshman B.J. Daniels makes his first ever start behind center.
MTSU tries to avoid a letdown after a dramatic come-from-behind last-second win over
The Utes must fight a letdown after having their 23-game winning streak snapped at
Cougars leading rusher James Montgomery is out for the year. WSU is already hurting on the offensive line as their top three guards are also out. The shuffling around means that WSU will start a freshman as well as a former walk-on along the offensive line.
The Panthers are 3-0 straight up with each win by 13 or more points and they are 13-4 in their last 17 games.
Golden Bears WR Nyan Boateng is out. He led the team in receptions last year and was third this season. He is also an outstanding downfield blocker.
