College Football Picks Week 9: Last week's picks brought home a winner as a teaser parlay with Air Force easily covering the +16.5 at Utah and Arkansas just making the +13.5 in a 30-17 loss at Mississippi. This week we have another nice two team teaser paraly and possibly a third to add to it if any of you want to risk as much. To take advantage of these plays and all the latest College Football Picks Week 9 visit online bookmaker BetUS.com today. No. 11 Georgia Tech vs Vanderbilt (+11.5): This should be a Georgia Tech whitewash as the Yellow Jackets will be anxious Georgia Tech 31, Vanderbilt 17 Rutgers vs Connecticut (-8.5): The Huskies have had a rough couple of weeks, losing cornerback Jasper Howard and dealing with aftermath of a brutal crime. They played with a lot of emotion last weekend but lost at West Virginia 24-28. Now they get a conference rival at Rentschuler Field in front of a crowd that desperately needs a cathartic win. The Huskies are going to give them one. Rutgers is 5-2, but the Scarlet Knights have made hay against a bunch of rummies. The two good teams that they have faced (Cincinnati and Pittsburgh) they lost to in Piscataway. Connecticut will move the ball on the ground against them, as the Bearcats and Panthers did, and salt this game away for their second conference win of the season. Rutgers 17, Connecticut 30 Make these two teams a seven point teaser parlay and you get Connecticut at -1.5 and Georgia Tech at -4.5. Both squads should cover easily and provide a nice return in the process. Consider adding the Houston Cougars (-6.5), which face conference rival Southern Mississippi at home. The Golden Eagles are a good team, but the Cougars are better. If you can make Houston a +.5 dog at home do it, because chances are the Cougars will get the win. They are 9-1 straight up in their last 10 games at home versus Conference USA competition.

to prove their prowess against an SEC team, even if it is Vanderbilt. While the Commodores have the better defense of these two teams, they also have the far inferior offense (16.6 points per game). Additionally, where Vandy is week on defense is exactly where Tech is strong on offense. The Yellow Jackets triple option rushing attack generates 291.6 rush yards and 32.6 points per game. Vanderbilt is allowing just 17.8 points per game, but their defense gives up an average of 165.4 yards per game on the ground. Tech will impose its will on the Commodores as the game wears on and they will control the clock throughout, as they usually do.
