Football Predictions

Some have suggested that this weekend's slate of college football games is not as interesting as some have been recently, but the fact that not a single team has guaranteed themselves a BCS berth at this point makes that idea seem ridiculous. Any of the current favorites to play in BCS games could find themselves out of the picture if things don't fall their way this weekend, and that includes LSU and Alabama, one of which will be left out if LSU loses to Georgia in the SEC Championship game. Since no team is safe, that means every game matters, and you can expect to see a lot of close games. Here are my picks for every game taking place this weekend.

Thursday

Philadelphia at Seattle - Eagles by 1

(23) West Virginia at South Florida - Bulls by 1
