NCAA Football Picks: Minnesota vs Bowling Green: Minnesota got the job done last weekend against Northern Illinois, 31-27.  Duane Bennett pushed his way in for a 1-yard score with 22 seconds as they took the lead and won the game.  The offense looked very solid against Northern Illinois behind sophomore QB Adam Weber.  Weber completed six passes to Decker on the first drive, mostly on short receiver screen plays during a methodical march for a touchdown - an 8-yard toss to Decker in front of end-zone traffic - that took 18 snaps and nearly 9 minutes off the clock.  Weber completed 64 percent of his passes for 298 yards and two touchdowns.  What was even more impressive was that he threw no interceptions.  Coach Tim Brewster, who doubled his career victory total after a 1-11 season, told his guys to go for it on 4th-and-1 at the 3-yard line after calling their final timeout with 38 seconds remaining.  The Oddsmakers at LooseLines.com currently have Bowling Green -5 favorites to Minnesota heading into this matchup with the total at 56 points.

Bowling Green got a big win over Pittsburgh last week, 27-17 and no one thought Pittsburgh would lose that game.  The Falcons (1-0), scoring their second win over a BCS conference school in as many season openers, bounced back from a 14-0 deficit for the first victory by a Mid-American Conference school in Pittsburgh.  Pitt previously was 25-2 against the MAC, 8-0 in season openers and 24-0 at home.  It’s no secret why Bowling Green was able to knock off Pittsburgh despite posting only 254 yards of total offense. The Falcons capitalized on a whopping three fumbles and one interception in their 10-point victory.

NCAA Football Picks: This is a tough call here with the line being so good.  Both teams played well last week.  Minnesota turned the ball over a ton last season and in their opener they didn't turn it over.  So probably they will a few times this week.  If I had to make a bet on the game, I probably would lay the points with Bowling Green after that big win over top 25 team last week.  Don't forget to check out my top plays for NCAA Football Picks for Saturday.  I have some big plays going and they are all Guaranteed!
