Alright we got the season off to a good start on Thursday night with 2 winner. Here are our Saturday college football picks for week 1:

Northwestern -5 @ Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt is coming off a 2-10 season and have had plenty of problems in fall camp with Coach Bobby Johnson leaving. It doesn't help they only return 1 linemen on each side of the ball. Northwestern is a well tested road team who have covered 8 of their last 9 road games. Wildcats should dominate 34-15.

Purdue +11 @ Notre Dame
High expectations for new Irish coach Brian Kelly. Domers offense should remain solid despite the loss of Jimmy Clause, however their defense remains a huge question mark. The number here seems to indicate the public is buying into the hype at South Bend, not us we like the Boiler Makers to cove this one. Notre Dame 24 Purdue 20.

Tulsa -8.5 @ East Carolina
The Pirates have lost the most starters of any team in the nation and their head coach Skip Holtz. Tulsa struggled last season but we expect their offense to return to previous form in this game and dominate a very young and inexperienced team 42 - 17.

Oklahoma State -16 vs Washington State.
This is simple we don't think the Cowboys are as good as they have been in the past, but simply put the Washington State Cougers are one of if not the worst team in the FBS. Another blow out to add to their sad sack resume 47 - 10.

Dog of the Week - Washington Huskies +5 @ BYU
Our dog of the week this week is the Dawgs from Washington. 10 returning starters on offense head into Provo to take on BYU. The Cougers have lost a number of starters including their top QB and RB. The Huskies go on the road and start their road back to respectability with a 27 - 20 win.

Good luck and next we add the NFL to our picks of the week!
