Oklahoma State, Dez Bryant College Football Picks
The Dallas Cowboys are amongst the best teams in the NFL every single season as they have some of the most talented players in the league on both sides of the football.
Ironically enough, despite already having one of the best wide receivers corps in the league, the Cowboys decided to pick arguably the best young wide receiver in the 2010 NFL Draft with the 24th overall pick.
Throughout his time with Oklahoma State, Dez Bryant made a name for himself for not only being one of the most talented wideouts in the country, but also being one of the most controversial. Despite being a problem child during his college days, Bryant did improve Oklahoma State’s odds in college football picks and chances at a playing in a bowl game.
Unfortunately, like many players will superstar talent, Bryant decided to leave school a bit early after being suspended for the majority of the 2009 season for violating one of the NCAA rules which was interacting with former Dallas Cowboys superstar Deion Sanders.
Despite missing a significant amount of time last season, Bryant was still considered amongst the best at his position in the past 2010 NFL Draft.
Even though the majority of draft picks in the first round end up in holdouts for more money come contract time, Dez Bryant quickly agreed to a five-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys worth about $11.8 million dollars with $8.5 being guaranteed.
Ohio State College Football Picks, Prediction vs. the Spread
Ohio State College Football Picks, Prediction vs. the Spread
Ohio State is one of those teams that has a lot of momentum coming into the 2010 season. Additionally, Ohio State is a squad that is constantly underrated because of its style of play. Along with much of the Big 10, Ohio Style typically finds itself with advantageous numbers early in the year. When you make your college football picks in the coming year, you need to be on the lookout for solid Ohio State numbers. Starting in last year’s Rose Bowl, the Bucks punched their ticket to the top-5 in 2010, and they look like a strong bet to be in it all year long.
So why do we like Ohio State so much? Though their style might not be exciting, they just play good ball. You can always count on Ohio State having solid defense, especially in the front 7. That should happen once again, as they return the majority of their defensive starters. On the offensive side of the ball, Tyrelle Pryor is back. He looked much better down the stretch last year, and many believe that he can be an improved passer this year. If he adds that element to his scrambling game, Pryor could be an offensive force that runs over the Big 10.
The Bucks have flopped in big games time and again, but they are still a good value play. With a good coach, an experienced, talented quarterback, and depth along the lines, Ohio State has everything in place to be very good. Don’t miss out on the chance to bet them in the early going of 2010. The lines will be short before people recognize that Ohio State has a legitimate chance to win the National title. You won’t get those lines later in the year, so spot your college football picks early.
