Boston College (-3) vs. Michigan State (Friday, Dec. 28, 5:30 p.m. ET) – Call me a chalk eater if you want, but I really like the favorite here. Both teams had troubles down the stretch, and Boston College definitely isn’t in the bowl game they wanted to be in. The game comes down to class, though. Boston College is a better team with better players and better coaching. Despite their struggles they should be able to win with an exclamation point here to salvage some pride at the end of the year. Pick: Boston College.

Kansas (-3.5) at Colorado – The Jayhawks are a huge surprise this year with their undefeated record. Colorado is much better than they are supposed to be, too. Colorado is coming off a bad loss, though, while Kansas has covered every time out. I expect them to do the same here. Pick: Kansas

Stanford (+14) at Arizona – Neither team is very good, but Stanford is playing with heart as of late. They had the huge upset over USC and then they hung tight with TCU. That’s two covers in a row. They obviously don’t mind going on the road. They marched into L.A. and took a win, so I can’t think of a good reason why they couldn’t do the same in Tucson. At the very least, they should be able to stay close. Pick: Stanford

Michigan State (+19) at Ohio State – The Buckeye defense is the best in the country, but Michigan State can score a lot of points. Purdue could too, and Ohio State shut them down. Michigan State has a much more balanced offense than Purdue does, though. I don’t have much doubt that Ohio State will win, but I am willing to bet that the Spartans can stay within 19. Pick: Michigan State

UPDATE: After a couple of rough weeks for me in college football, the betting gods were smiling down on me today. Kansas held on late to remain undefeated and cover, Stanford stayed hot with a big upset (at least according to the spread), and Michigan State faltered early but fought back late to stay close and cover easily. That 3 for 3. I’ll take that any day. Obviously.
