Saturday Big 3 picks

Florida 52 Kentucky 14

The Gators cruise and get ready to lay a whooping on a depleted Bama squad next Saturday in Gainesville. Look for Tim Tebow to get some serious PT and work on his passing to go along with his running skills this week.

Florida State 45 Rice 3

The rest of the nation may have quit on the Noles but not me. I liked that FSU showed an ability to run the ball last week and Drew Weatherford once again rallied his team from behind in the 4th quarter. It's not his fault that the defense collapsed. Expect FSU's defense to bounce back and, yes I still believe FSU could run the table and play for the national title, but they need to develop some consistency on offense. A weak Rice team provides the opportunity for FSU to get well.

IDLE 20 Miami 14

Assuming Miami can score two touchdowns against anybody is risky, but I'm going out on a limb here and saying Kyle Wright can get enough time to pick apart IDLE's invisible defense in the first half. Considering IDLE sports no pass rush and no defense, any other team including Duke and Temple could score 100 on them. Miami will take a 14-3 lead into the locker room at halftime, but a succession of turnovers and missed field goals will doom Miami. IDLE (aka thin air) records its first win EVER over an NCAA D1A program. History happens tomorrow at the Orange Bowl, where so much Football history has been made in the past.
