Bilo's Picks: Week 7

I knew that the week had to come when I took some lumps, and via some serious screwball action in the FCS ranks, week 6 was the week. For week six on the college football season, I finished 78-31. My official record for 2013 is now 478-135 overall, including both FBS and FCS picks. It's time for a bounce back this week to improve my winners to losers ratio. Here are my picks for FBS and FCS winners for week seven!

FBS

Thursday
Louisville over Rutgers (but the 19 point spread may be a little much)
Air Force over San Diego State (Upset Alert!)

Friday
Cincinnati over Temple

Saturday
Army over Eastern Michigan
South Florida over UConn (Upset Alert! as UConn is favored)
Georgia over Missouri
Michigan State over Indiana
Nebraska over Purdue (14 point spread is a gift this week...Point spread lock of the week)
Virginia Tech over Pittsburgh
Houston over Memphis
TCU over Kansas
Texas Tech over Iowa State
