Time for more college football and NFL picks this week. Its crazy to think that we're getting into the last few weeks of the college schedule. Thankfully the NFL still has a couple of more months to go. At this point of the season, wins mean just a little bit more, so who am I picking to win this weekend? I've got that coming up.

Last week I went 5-1 with my picks. The only game I got wrong was the Clemson/Notre Dame game. So that brings my win/loss totally for 2023 to 41 correct picks and 19 incorrect picks. For some reason, I'm feeling a little froggy this week. I'm feeling like I want to pick some upsets. However, those haven't really worked out for me too well this season, so we'll see.

All of the college games that I'm picking are between ranked opponents, and there are some pretty good ones this weekend, especially in the SEC. I'm going to start with The Big 10 though. Saturday at Noon 3 Michigan will take on 10 Penn State. Michigan is favored by 4.5 points in this game. This is one of those games that make me want to pick the underdog at home. I'm so torn here, but you know what I've said before, you gotta risk it to get the biscuit. Well I'm in the mood for a biscuit! Gimme Penn State in a close one, this one could even go into overtime!

Dub's Official Pick- Penn State

These are the rest of my picks for this weekend.

13 Tennessee @ 14 Missouri

This game is set for Saturday at 3:30 on CBS and Tennessee is favored by 2. I'm feeling another upset here at home. Missouri looked really good against Georgia last week. I think they bounce back this week and get it done at home. Gimme The Tigers by less than a touchdown.

Dub's Official Pick- Missouri

9 Ole Miss @ 2 Georgia

This is another big time SEC game. It will be in primetime at 7pm Saturday night on ESPN. Georgia is favored by 10.5 points. I think this will be another tough test for The Dawgs, just like last week against Missouri, but I think just like last week against Missouri, Georgia will get it done. Gimme The Dawgs by 10 or less.

Dub's Official Pick- Georgia

The San Francisco 49ers @ The Jacksonville Jaguars

This game is set for Sunday at 1pm on FOX and San Francisco is favored by 3. San Fran started out strong this season, but they've gone on a bit of a slide lately. They've lost three in a row and The Jags have won five in a row. I like Jacksonville in the upset at home. Gimme The Jags by 6.

Dub's Official Pick- The Jacksonville Jaguars

The New Orleans Saints @ The Minnesota Vikings

This game is set for Sunday at 1pm on FOX and The Saints are favored by 3. Maybe the Vikings found something in Josh Hobbs last week, or maybe The Falcons just suck, but Dobbs and the Vikings looked good last week. I'm picking them to keep it going at home this week. Gimme The Vikings by 3 or less.

Dub's Official Pick- The Minnesota Vikings

The Detroit Lions @ The LA Chargers

This game is set for Sunday afternoon at 4:05 on CBS and The Lions are favored by 3. Detroit has looked really good this season, they're playing some good football this year in The D. I'm going to keep rolling with them. Gimme The Lions by 7.

Dub's Official Pick- The Detroit Lions
