Record 88-23 (79%)
19 Colorado at USC
Colorado played a very solid Arizona State team last week, but this will be their second major challenge of the year. Laviska Shenault Jr. is a legit gamebreaker, but USC’s night game crowd at home will make a huge difference and give USC the advantage.
USC 35-27
6 WVU at Iowa State
No. 6 WVU takes on Iowa State on the road at 7PM. Sounds like a trap game to me. Iowa State put up 47 last week in what has been a stagnant offense all season, but no chance they keep up with the 500+ yards a game WVU has been lighting teams up for. Watch out for ISU 3rdString QB Brock Purdy who lit it up last week.
WVU 48-34
22 Texas A&M at South Carolina
Texas A&M has 2 losses this season. The first one is a 2-point loss to Clemson, the other a loss to NFL team Alabama. They are coming off a win over the hottest team in the country in Kentucky and are a rough schedule away from being a second-tier contender in the SEC.
Texas A&M 27-24
7 Washington at 17 Oregon
Washington may have a chance to win out and make a pitch for the CFB playoffs, but the road ahead is tough. Justin Herbert and Oregon go against one of the best secondaries in the nation in what will be the X-Factor of this game. Always bet on defense.
Washington 37-24
2 Georgia at 13 LSU
If LSU beat Florida last week this would likely be a much harder choice but looking at this Georgia team they haven’t even had a close game yet. Georgia should win this by 2 scores.
Georgia 34-24
15 Wisconsin at 12 Michigan
This game is huge. Whichever team wins gets an outside look at the Playoffs, and the loser will just look for a decent bowl game. Will Michigan ever win a close game? Probably not. But they match up well with one of the best rush defenses in the nation headlined by Rashan Gary so well pick them anyway.
Michigan 24-21
The Locks: Don’t really need to go into too much detail on any of these games as most of them seem to be locks and blowouts.
