Each week during the 2016 college football season, I will offer up my selections and scores for the weekends biggest games and a handful of other key matchups.Last year, my selections went 104-33 (76 percent) picking straight-up (SU) winners during the regular season and 74-61-2 (55 percent) against the spread (ATS). This year the straight-up record is 61-30 (67 percent), but the ATS record is just 39-49-2 (44 percent).Here are this weeks selections.Note: Lines from Westgate SuperBook as of Wednesday morning.Oregon Ducks at No. 11 Utah Utes (-14)Saturday, 2 p.m. ET Last year, Utah traveled to Oregon as a double-digit dog and not only upset the Ducks, they thrashed them, leading 62-13 before allowing a late, 96-yard garbage time touchdown drive. Utah is an under-the-radar team that doesnt get a lot of mention nationally. They win with a run game, defense and special teams. This is Utahs home finale and they have talent, attitude, and altitude edges. Utah is competing for the Pac-12 title and since Joe Williams came out of retirement, hes rushed for 179, 332, 172, and 181 yards in four games. They will not take the Ducks lightly, as they had given up 51 and 44 points the previous two meetings when Marcus Mariota was the quarterback. Custom Buffalo Bills Jerseys . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Custom Detroit Lions Jerseys . From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. http://www.footballcustomjerseys.com/custom-minnesota-vikings-jerseys-488c.html . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Custom Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys . Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start in team history. Custom Dallas Cowboys Jerseys . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No.LATROBE, Pa. -- Mike Tomlin tried to sound resolute. The look on his face however, suggested otherwise. Asked if he was sending a message by having rookie running back LeVeon Bell take snaps with the first team at the end of his third practice as a professional football player earlier this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers coach failed to fight back a smile as he answered. "None," Tomlin said before quickly adding "but Im sure you guys will run with it so go ahead." Hey, why not? The battle for the right to replace the departed Rashard Mendenhall has been simmering since the moment the Steelers selected Bell with the 48th overall pick in the NFL draft. Even though the team signed restricted free agents Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman to one-year tenders, theres little doubt the 21-year-old Bell has a future lining up behind quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Redman and Dwyer are simply hoping to hold off that future for as long as they can. The duo combined for 1,033 yards while splitting carries with Mendenhall in 2012 but couldnt stay healthy, leaving their ability to become a true feature back in question. Each worked aggressively in the off-season to shed weight, hoping slimmer waistlines would lead to a heavier workload. Dwyer estimates he dropped 25-30 pounds while Redman cut 15 pounds off his 6-foot frame. "This is definitely the best shape I have ever been in since I have been in the league," Dwyer said. "I just want to continue to be like this the rest of my career." A career that will likely continue elsewhere next season if he fails to gain any traction this fall. The same goes for Redman, who rushed for a 121 yards in a loss to Denver in the playoffs two years ago and has shown flashes of brilliance but cant seem to stay out of the training room. The issue isnt necessarily production, but persistence. Every step forward for both players has been met by a step back. Dwyer posted consecutive 100-yard games last October only to go down with a hamstring injury. Redman responded by piling up a career-high 147 yards in a victory over the Giants but was ineffective a week later against the Chiefs and collected just 26 carries total over the final seven games. Dwyer wasnt the same after his hamstring healed. A pair of ill-timed fumbles didnt help matters. While the Steelers hardly batted an eye whhen the enigmatic Mendenhall opted to sign with Arizona in free agency, they also left little doubt Redman and Dwyer little wiggle room when they picked up Bell in the second round in April.dddddddddddd Bell is younger, taller (6-2) and more versatile than either of the two players hes competing again. In addition to leading the nation with 383 carries last fall at Michigan State, he also caught 32 passes. After spending most of the last four years sending Mendenhall on the field on first and second down and bringing him out in true passing situations, Bell gives the Steelers a well-rounded option. One that is humble but well aware of the expectations. "Im just going to compete," Bell said. "Ive been competing from day one. Just make those other guys better, make the other running backs better, and at the same time theyre going to make me better. Im going to help this team the best that I can and get a Super Bowl." Bell played at around 245 pounds during his final year at Michigan State but arrived at Saint Vincent College more than a dozen pounds lighter. His height has him resemble something more akin to a safety than a feature back and theres more than a little bit of tenacity beneath his shoulder pads. Each year, in full gear includes a "back on backers" drill that pits a running back and a linebacker against each other designed to simulate what happens when a back is required to pick up a blitz. On Monday Bell found himself lined up against first-round pick Jarvis Jones. Four times Jones hurtled his 245-pound frame at Bell. The fact they fought to a draw didnt go unnoticed. "Im sure theyll continue to see more of each other," Tomlin said. At least in camp. Things could change in the regular season if Bell and Jones both work their way into starting roles since the guys at the top of the depth chart typically practice against the backups. While Tomlin appears to be impressed by Bells quick grasp of the offence, he is serious when he says hell wait to see how things play out before anointing a starter for Week 1 against Tennessee. Then again, if Tomlin has his way, he wont have to name one. Itll become self-evident. "You would like a known feature guy," he said. "I think everybody is of that mentality, but its got to be something thats taken by someone. " ' ' '
