Week 7 picks

SEC Teams Looking to take hold of the Conference
After stumbling by Florida last week LSU will run right into another good team as they have to travel to Commonwealth Stadium to play #17 Kentucky. Can LSU maintain their undefeated season… They are the last original Top 10 team to still not have lost yet. Today they would like to show why as they look to secure their spot in the National Title and their spot in the SEC championship. But they’ll have to get past this Kentucky team that although they lost to South Carolina last week… has the talent to win here as we saw them put Louisville in a tailspin a few weeks ago.
Kentucky’s Andre Woodson will have to face this insuperable LSU defense. The Kentucky offense will be looking to find some of the kinks in the armor that Florida tried showing last week. If they can they could pull off the upset. But it won’t be any walk in the woods for Woodson. But even if Kentucky gets to that point of winning can they prevent another Bluegrass miracle. As the last time they played at Commonwealth stadium LSU scored the game winner on the last play. This is Kentucky’s chance will they take it? Or let it walk away?

Big 12 North Looking for more Redemption
This week in Norman Oklahoma the Big 12 north will be looking to steal another one as the Missouri Tigers who are undefeated and then the Oklahoma Sooners who have lost once, to Colorado. Who will win this game the team in the North looking to turn things around looking to find a spot in the BCS perhaps? Or the team from the South who would normally be expected to take the BCS spot for the Big 12. Both teams should know though that although there is all of the craziness in the top 10 teams recently it helps keep both of them in the title race. As nothing is for sure this season.
The Sooner’s quarterback Sam Bradford looks to pick apart this Tiger’s defense as they could have much more with a better d. But Missouri looks to tear up the field against Oklahoma like they did against Nebraska last week in a 41-6 rout. Unfortunately for Missouri their leading running back Temple is out… and last year when he was injured against Oklahoma… Missouri lost 26-10 and was knocked out of the top 25. This year Missouri looks to turn it around. While Oklahoma will try to keep the Big 12 in check. Can Missouri break the trend?
Missouri 31 Oklahoma 29
Rivalry doesn’t meet up to usual level of play…
If you take last season’s Notre Dame team and put them against this years Boston College team it would have been one for the ages. But because of a turn of events and the now struggling Notre Dame offense lead by Jimmy Clausen will have to go up against the B.C. offense lead by Matt Ryan. The other catcher here is that Notre Dame just got their first win of the season against UCLA while Boston College won their 6th straight game… putting them at 6-0 and ranked 4th in the nation. Will Notre Dame be able to crash the boat that Boston College is on? Or will Boston College keep it going…
Notre Dame has struggled on offense while Boston College has been golden. Boston College looks to destroy Notre Dame in every way this weekend. They look to embarrass Notre Dame in front of the Irish’s fans. Yet Notre Dame will be playing with a passion today. They will be looking to keep the Boston College football team in check. But that won’t be any easy feat as they have just been fantastic this year. They have a potential heisman candidate in Matt Ryan. Boston College will keep the blood flowing I think as they are off to their best start yet.
Boston College 41 N.D. 10
