They are fresh off a bye week and head to Boston College, who surprisingly has the fifth-best defense in the nation. Although the stats might say otherwise, the two defenses are pretty much equal and since Virginia Tech is already road tested with wins at North Carolina and at Nebraska, they shouldn\u2019t be intimidated by the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The Hokies know how to win these low-scoring games. Whether they are getting points on special teams, or defense, or just simply winning the battle of field position, Frank Beamer knows how to pull his team ahead in these tight games. VA Tech is just a little more tested than the Eagles and that should be the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Football Free Picks: Virginia Tech +120<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>USC Trojans -10000 @ Washington State Huskies<\/h3>\n<p>The USC Trojans are one of the best teams in college football. The Washington Huskies are one of the worst.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend, the Cougars defense gave up more than 60 points for the second time in three weeks. One of those teams was Oregon, who USC stomped two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>USC has bounced back well after their road loss at Oregon State. They trounced Oregon then shutout Arizona State. It\u2019s hard to back Washington State in any scenario \u2013 even with the points. They are clearly one of the worst BCS schools and maybe one of the worst teams around period<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Football Free Picks: USC -10000<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Missouri Tigers (+160) @ Texas Longhorns<\/h3>\n<p>The Missouri Tigers are coming off a heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma State in a game where they were expected to win by two touchdowns. While the Tigers are on a downer, the Longhorns couldn\u2019t be higher at this point \u2013 literally. They toppled Oklahoma and are now the No. 1 team in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Both defenses give up a lot of passing yards, so expect another shootout, but look for Missouri to be a little more focused. Missouri hasn\u2019t won in Texas since 1896 and has had this game circled since the offseason. Texas is off a big win against their rivalry and might rest on their laurels a little bit. Despite their respective performances last week, there isn\u2019t much between these teams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Football Free Picks: Missouri +160<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Michigan Wolverines @ Penn State Nittany Lions (-2000)<\/h3>\n<p>The Penn State Nittany Lions have been terrorizing everything in their path and the lowly Michigan Wolverines shouldn\u2019t be any different. Michigan lost at home to Toledo last year, which gives you an indication of how far this program has fallen.<\/p>\n<p>The one caveat that you have to be wary of is that Penn State faces Ohio State next week, which many people believe will be the deciding game for the Big 10. If Penn State is looking ahead \u2013 as we\u2019ve seen a number of teams do already \u2013 they could find themselves in a dogfight. Even so, Michigan doesn\u2019t look to have enough bite or bark to get the job done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Football Free Picks: Penn State -2000<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1400\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">For More NCAA Football Betting Picks And Odds Click Here!<\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1400\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College football week 8 football straight up selections from the best sports handicappers in the world at CappersPicks.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,13],"tags":[147,279,2604,287,313,1565,321,470,475,545,1768,66500,763,767,1027,1028,1767,3311,3601,3600],"class_list":["post-2982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gambling","category-ncaa-football","tag-bet-on-college-football","tag-cfb","tag-cfb-money-lines","tag-cfb-picks","tag-college-football-betting","tag-college-football-handicapping","tag-college-football-lines","tag-free-pick","tag-free-play","tag-handicappers","tag-moneyline-betting","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaa-football-betting","tag-ncaa-football-odds","tag-prediction","tag-predictions","tag-straight-up-picks","tag-week-8","tag-week-8-college-football-games","tag-week-8-moneylines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2982"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106083,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2982\/revisions\/106083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
