I am posting the selections made so far by cappers - others will be added later - up to 5 pks by each capper. Pks are spread over successive posts due to post-length limits by Covers'....BOL to everyone in week 7!....
BADLANDS
WVU MOUNTAINEERS -10 LARGE
I’ve been waiting for
this game. This is a very bad south Florida team. I watched their
whole game last week against Syracuse. Jim Levitt and matt grothie made
this program pretty good but it’s taken a huge step back this year. South
Florida 3 wins have come against a 0-5 western Kentucky team, a 1-4 Florida Atlantic
team...and..Stony brook. I watched both their games against Florida and Syracuse
and they can’t do anything on offense and lost I believe 4 starters on d that
went to the NFL or graduated. Daniels has been awful at
qb. Against Florida he was 5-20 for 84 yards, 1 td 4 int. last week
against Syracuse he was 9-23 no tds and 2 picks. even against
western Kentucky he only had 57 passing yards and they only won by 12 at
home. he can run but it’s going to take a lot against wv. south floridas only chance is if they can run and wv is giving up 86 rypg. on the
flip side Florida ran for 250 yards on s. Florida so gl stopping devine. Unless
WV doesn’t show up or just kills themselves with turnovers and penalties, I don’t
see how they don’t win by 20+. west Virginia 31 s. Florida 10
Week 6 selections are below - submissions and writeups still pending in a couple cases. It's been an up and down season for many, but overall we are solidly in the black. ICE4BLOOD is having a *tremendous* year on top plays, as is Boom. BOL to all!

ICE4BLOOD
Pitt (+3.5)... gotta roll with Pitt in the Thursday night dog roll... they seem to do well as a dog... wish i was getting 4 points, and you might be able to closer to gametime... but then again, you might only get 3 if you wait... the best way to bet this game, is to do nothing until halftime... if, at HT, you can get Pitt at a line that gives you (+4.5) or even (+6), you are in business... prediction: Pitt 20-17
TCU (-18)... going with another primetime weekday game, which i try to stay away from... TCU is rolling, and somewhat under the radar... haven't been overly impressed with SMU... i think TCU will manhandle them... prediction: TCU 51-17
VT (-4)... buying price on VT is low right now... they are a hot and cold team, and so is their following... VT has started slow previous seasons and then gone on a tear... i can feel it coming here... prediction: VT 31-13
UConn (-18)... i remember how UConn physically dominated Buffalo a couple years ago in the bowl game... i think UC is still similar to that team, but Buffalo has dropped off... Huskies will be breaking off lots of long runs... prediction: UC 41-14
Pks continued next post....
Week 2 with top 5 picks from some of covers’ most respected cappers. We will add remaining write-ups when they are available. GL to all!
BADLANDS
Mississippi State +2
Air Force -1

Stanford -6
Georgia/South Carolina under 50
Boom_Boom
USC -18
NCST +3.5
S.C -2
Washington -10
G.T -13
Ice4Blood
Alabama (-11): I don't expect this to be close to the spread... Penn St isn't the same as the last couple of years, and will struggle to score any point on offense... might start to look like a scrimmage at some point... prediction: Bama 42-10
Ohio St (-9.5): another mismatch for the home team... OSU defense and the hostile environment will be too much for Miami, who will most likely commit a couple of turnovers... think OSU makes a big statement in this game... prediction: OSU 35-13
Michigan (+4.5): just love getting this many points in this game... Michigan will be in this game to the end, like they always are in this matchup... anything more than 3 points just seems charitable... spread offense will cause problems for ND, and should be a high scoring game: Mich 31-28
Texas (-28): tough to bet on Texas after their dismal performance, but I think that score could have been a lot more one-sided, if not for a late 1H miracle TD and a meaningless last minute 4th Q TD... also, the Horns had a sure pick 6 dropped in the first half... also think the off-the-field tragedy for Wyoming will be tough to overcome in such a short time... prediction: Tx 52-14
Tx Tech (-24): this is a bet against New Mexico as much as anything... Lobos may be the worst team in CFB this year, with very few returners to an already bad team... they mustered no offense (and many TOs) against Oregon last week, and should provide the cure for some Tx Tech defense woes... Tech likes to run up the score when they get a chance... prediction: TT 45-14
Nostradamus12
Mich St -28....Owls 1-8-1 ATS lately on nonconference road and could be content to get upset win at UAB
Auburn -2...although improved, Bulldogs still have to prove they can win in the conference going 3-5 straight up over last 2 yrs
Texas -28...after flat showing against Rice, expect Brown to have Horns ready to play, Cowboys have trouble scoring on the road
Ole Miss -19.5...Nutt should have Ole Miss ready to play after losing to Jacksonville St, not a strong home field for Tulane lately
NC State +5...favor the points in toss up matchup where NCS should be able to match pts against questionable UCF secondary
