Some quick College Football Picks:

1. U of I @ Syracuse: The Illini are a 12 1/2 point favorite on the road!! Can Syracuse be that bad! The Orange beat the Illini last year in Champaign! I expect the Illini will win but not by that margin.

2. Notre Dame @ Michigan- "The Big Game"!!! Ha! Michigan clearly has more talent than Notre Dame, which means that Lloyd Carr truly sucks. While Notre Dame has looked abysmal, at least they have played two good teams. Michigan? I just can't see Michigan losing three in a row at home. Then again, no one expected Michigan to lose two in a row at home. Gotta go with Michigan 21-14.

3. Duke @ Northwestern- Make that 23 in a row for the Blue Devils!!
