College football is only a couple days away, and that means it’s time for some gambling picks.

We’re currently sitting at 21-19 (minor props to me), and we’re not dropping below .500 the rest of this season. Get your wallets out, because we’re all getting rich this weekend.

Here are my five locks.

1) Wisconsin (-26) vs. Illinois:

Do I even need to justify this one? The Badgers are going roll. It’ll be a bloodbath, and Illinois will wish they were anywhere else in the world.

2) Ohio State vs. Penn State (+6):

I don’t know if PSU will win this game, but I don’t see them losing by more than a few points. There is just too much talent on the field to make this game out of reach at the end. Take the Nittany Lions and the points.

3) Michigan State (-2) vs. Northwestern:

Northwestern hasn’t lived up to expectations, and I see the Spartans winning this one pretty easily. Take MSU with everything you have.

4) Washington State (-3) vs. Arizona:

WSU might have taken a bad beating a couple weeks ago, but that’s not happening again a bad Arizona team. They are going to roll through Tucson.

5) Texas A&M (Pick Em’) vs. Mississippi State:

I like the Aggies here, and this is just a straight-up pick. This is one of my more confident locks of the week.
