2014 Appalachian State Mountaineers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

Last season the Mountaineers played in the Southern Conference (1-AA) and this year will be their first official season playing with the big boys. Last year the Mountaineers’ 4-8 record was their worse record in over 10 years. And if you think about it that is pretty amazing.

2014 Arkansas State Red Wolves Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Red Wolves were an 8-5 team last year and are coming off a 23-20 bowl win over Ball State. But that was last year. After four straight winning seasons the Red Wolves will have a new head coach this year and the bright spot isthat they will have an experienced defense on the field. Last year the Red Wolves only lost one conference road game and if they have continued success winning away from Centennial Bank Stadium they could go bowling again.

2014 Georgia Southern Eagles Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Georgia Southern Eagles finished 7-4 last year and they ended the season with a momentous victory over the Florida Gators in Gainesville. Last year the Eagles played in in the Southern Conference (1-AA) and this season will be their first official season in the Sun Belt. New head coach Willie Fritz will also be climbing to Division 1-A status and I believe they have a stronger team this year then last year.

2014 Georgia State Panthers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Panthers were the doormatof the Sun Belt conference last year, going winless in the conference and on the season. The Panthers made some progress toward the end of the season, hanging around games and only losing by two points on the road against Arkansas State. But this year I see a win coming out of the Georgia Dome as this team starts to come together.

2014 Idaho Vandals Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Idaho Vandals come back to the Sun Belt Conference and I see themhaving some success in this new-look league. Last year the Vandals won only one game. But they are much better this year. The Vandals played one of the toughest schedules last year and that experience for the 17 returning starters will only be a blessing this year.

2014 Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Cajuns were a bit of a surprise team for me in 2013, winning nine out of their last 11 games including a Bowl victory over Tulane. They did lose their last two conference games and this year I smell an even better team in Lafayette. The main reason why I like the Cajuns this season is that they are a veteran, experienced team with 17 returning starters.

2014 Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Warhawks were a bit of a disappointment last year, losing two out of their last three games as their defense ran out of gas towards the end of the season. The Warhawks suffered some bad home losses last year (Tulane, Western Kentucky, and Arkansas State) but this season I see them having a better campaign overall.

2014 New Mexico State Aggies Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Aggies come to the Sun Belt conference with enthusiasm but that is pretty much it. Last year they had a brutal schedule and I was shocked to see the Aggies even get two wins. This year they are breaking in a new quarterback and their defense has some major holes to fill. The only bright spot I see for New Mexico State is that their schedule is not as tough as last year’s.

2014 South Alabama Jaguars Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Jaguars closed out the 2013 season with three straight wins and ended the season with a .500 record. Bad part of last year is that their road record was awful and their defense on the road was pitiful. The main takeaway from last year was their three straight wins to close out the season and that should bring momentum this year.

2014 Texas State Bobcats Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Raphael Esparza - 7/17/2014

The Bobcats closed out last year with three straight losses and their defense gave up an average of 39.3 ppg in those defeats. All of Texas State’s losses last year were pretty much blowouts, except a home game against UL-Monroe which they lost by seven points. Texas State started the 2013 season with a big road win against Southern Miss but that was quickly forgotten and drowned out by their three straight losses to close out the year.

2014 Oklahoma Sooners Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

The Sooners are still dining out on their demolition of Alabama in last year’s Sugar Bowl. And the feeling around Norman is that the win over the SEC power could be just the thing to revitalize a program that has been good, but just not good enough, over the past few seasons.

2014 Oklahoma State Cowboys Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

It is tough to count out a Mike Gundy team. Especially since he has gone 41-11 over the past four seasons. But this looks like a rebuilding season in Stillwater. The Cowboys have just four returning starters on both sides of the ball and they have lost a ton of NFL talent over the past two years.

2014 Iowa State Cyclones Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Paul Rhoads is one of the most underappreciated coaches in the country. He’s kept Iowa State competitive during his five years at the helm despite being completely outmanned in one of the best, deepest conferences in college football. Rhoades has carried the Cyclones to three bowl games in five years but will be hard-pressed to accomplish that again this year.

2014 Kansas Jayhawks Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Oh Kansas, you try so hard. Charlie Weis finally realized – only about eight years too late – that the spread offense is The Thing in college football. He has started to adapt, but this proven loser is just 4-20 in his two years at the helm and his team hasn’t shown many signs of progress.

2014 Kansas State Wildcats Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Bill Snyder remains one of the best coaches in the country and has been masterful in his second stint with the Wildcats. Kansas State has gone 29-10 the last three years and they are always a player in the Big 12 despite holding firm as a bit of a throwback, physical, run-first attack.

2014 TCU Horned Frogs Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Much like Utah out in the Pac-12, TCU has found the sledding outside of the Mountain West much tougher since stepping up in conference competition. They’ve gone just 11-14 combined the past two years and have been a non-factor in the Big 12 since joining prior to the 2012 season. Things are looking up for the Horned Frogs but I still question how good this program can really be.

2014 Texas Tech Red Raiders Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

Second-year coach Kliff Kingsbury has completely rejuvenated the Texas Tech program, bringing back the high-scoring, freewheeling point machine that the Red Raiders were used to in the Mike Leach Era. Tech won eight games last season and pulled a huge upset, winning outright as a 14-point underdog, in the Holiday Bowl. We’ll see if the Red Raiders can build on that momentum this year.

2014 West Virginia Mountaineers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/16/2014

It’s been a rough ride down for West Virginia, who is a long way removed from the Rich Rodriguez heyday. Dana Holgersen has see his win total decline every year he’s been in Morgantown and this season might be his last shot to win over the natives. WVU has 13 starters back this year after entering last season with just eight.

2014 Texas Longhorns Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

The Charlie Strong Era begins with the former Louisville head coach taking the reigns of one of the premier programs in the country. Deposed Mack Brown left a full cupboard, with 15 returning starters and 13 senior starters, and Strong has an excellent chance to do some damage in his rookie campaign.

2014 Baylor Bears Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

The Bears laid waste to opponents in 2013 with one of the best offenses of the decade, averaging a ridiculous 52.8 points per game and scoring 69 or more points in five of their first six outings. The Bears won the outright Big 12 championship and solidified their metamorphosis from Big 12 doormat to Big 12 dominator.

2014 Miami Hurricanes Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

Perpetually overrated Miami finally seemed to turn the corner in 2013, working its way into the Top 10 with a 7-0 start. Some key injuries precipitated a weak 2-4 close to the year. And heading into 2014 it remains to be seen whether last year was a blip on the radar or a sign of things to come in South Beach.

2014 NC State Wolfpack Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

New head coach Dave Doeren bottomed out with the Wolfpack last year, dumping eight straight games after an encouraging 3-1 start and posting the first winless league slate in over 50 years. They were outscored by an average of a touchdown per game and finished in the bottom half of college football on both sides of the ball.

2014 North Carolina Tar Heels Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

The Tar Heels program has suffered through a host of on- and off-field problems over the last several seasons. But coach Larry Fedora overcame a slow start to the 2013 to win six of UNC’s final seven games and bring some positive mojo back to Chapel Hill. We will see if the Heels can carry that over into this fall.

2014 Pitt Panthers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

This proud Pittsburgh program has been able to keep its head slightly above water over the last few seasons based almost solely on grit and determination. But the Panthers simply are not very talented and expectations have to be pretty low for Paul Chryst’s third season.

2014 Syracuse Orange Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

Once a premier football program in the Northeast, Syracuse has been fighting and clawing its way back to relevance over the past decade. They’re not there yet. But after three of four winning seasons the Orange have at least gotten themselves back to respectability. The 2014 season is all about the Orange avoiding a back slide.

2014 Virginia Cavaliers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

Mike London’s seat is extremely warm after a dreadful 2-10 season that saw the Cavaliers lose their last nine games in 2013. London is just 18-31 in his four years at the helm and may need to pull a bowl bid out of his hat this season.

2014 Virginia Tech Hokies Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

Three years ago I predicted that Virginia Tech’s run as a national power was coming to an end. Their extraordinarily easy schedules and the statistical anomalies I found in their statistics from year to year suggested that the Hokies program had been overachieving for several seasons. Sure enough, Tech has struggled in back-to-back years and they are now a second-tier team in a third-tier college football conference.

2014 Wake Forest Demon Deacons Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/15/2014

Few head coaches in the country did more with less than Jim Grobe over the past decade. But Grobe has bowed out and new head coach Dave Clawson is looking to parlay his success at Bowling Green into some ACC W’s. I wouldn’t expect it to happen this year.

New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons Free NFL Picks & Week 1 Odds
by Josh Schonwald - 7/14/2014

The New Orleans Saints will match up with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, September 7, 2014. Our matchup report includes analysis on the starting quarterbacks, betting trends, injury reports, and a free pick on who we think is most likely to win.

Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks Free NFL Picks & Week 1 Odds
by Tony Sink - 7/14/2014

The Green Bay Packers will match up with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, September 4, 2014. Our matchup report includes analysis on the starting quarterbacks, betting trends, injury reports, and a free pick on who we think is most likely to win.

2014 Clemson Tigers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/12/2014

The Tigers are turning the page after the departure o dynamic duo of Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins. That pair helped the Tigers to a 32-8 mark over the past three seasons and now Dabo Sweeney will try to keep this program among the elite in the nation. It won’t be easy, especially with a brutal schedule, and this could be a tough transition season for the Tigers.

2014 Florida State Seminoles Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/12/2014

It was a dream season for Florida State in 2013, culminating in a thrilling national championship win over Auburn and the school’s first title since 1999. With Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Jameis Winston back under center the Seminoles are one of the favorites to repeat as champions in 2014.

2014 Louisville Cardinals Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/12/2014

Bobby Petrino is one of the bigger scumbags in college athletics. But man, that guy can coach. So because he has proven that he can win ball games the Cardinals have welcomed their prodigal son back to Papa John’s Stadium.

2014 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/12/2014

This is a bit of a do-or-die season for embattled head coach Paul Johnson. Tech fans and boosters have had enough of Johnson’s option attack and stagnate results over the past four seasons (28-25 overall) have him on the hot seat. The transfer of starting quarterback Vad Lee certainly didn’t help.

2014 Duke Blue Devils Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/12/2014

The Blue Devils came out of nowhere to win the ACC Coastal Division and put a scare into SEC darling Texas A&M in a bowl game last season. It took David Cutcliffe five years, but he has built the Blue Devils program from scratch and created a group that should remain competitive in this fluctuating league.

2014 Central Florida Knights Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/11/2014

The Golden Knights are coming off one of the best seasons in school history, which included a league championship and a Fiesta Bowl upset of Baylor. Central Florida will have a hard time replacing first round NFL draft choice Blake Bortles at quarterback. But if they do then the rest of the pieces seem to be in place for another strong year in Orlando.

2014 Connecticut Huskies Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/11/2014

Randy Edsall’s departure after the 2010 Fiesta Bowl appearance marked the beginning of the end for both Huskies football and Edsall. Edsall has gone just 13-24 and is on his last life in Maryland while Connecticut suffered through a terrible effort by Paul Pasqualoni and a 13-23 mark the past three seasons.

2014 East Carolina Pirates Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/11/2014

East Carolina barnstormed its way through its final season in Conference USA, winning 10 games and hammering Ohio in a bowl game. But now the Pirates are stepping up (slightly) in class as they start their maiden voyage in the American Athletic Conference.

2014 Memphis Tigers Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/11/2014

The Tigers struggled through their first season after moving up from Conference USA to the American Athletic. They are just 12-48 in their last 60 games in the past five years, but if this year’s group can find a way to win on the road they could be a surprise bowl team come December.

2014 Temple Owls Season Win Total NCAA Football Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 7/11/2014

Temple’s “Golden Age” of football, in which they went 26-12 and played in two bowl games while representing the MAC from 2009 to 2011 look all the more impressive after watching this team the past two years. Since stepping back up into the Big East and now American Athletic conferences the Owls have gone just 6-17 and have proven once again to be one of the worst programs in the country.
