Tennessee Volunteers vs. Georgia Bulldogs (-9.5)
Georgia is coming up a tough loss to Ole Miss and needs to get back on track against Tennessee. While Carson Beck continues to throw picks the defense isn’t doing its job either. But the Bulldogs can’t afford to lose another game as their two losses have been on the road and they remain undefeated at home. The Vols are playing well but this seems like a spot Georgia gets back on track as the Dawgs try to make that playoff push.
THE PICK: Georgia -9.5
Kansas vs BYU (-3, 55.5)
Both teams here have elite offenses and can score. The Jayhawks are putting up 30 points per game while BYU averages just over 35 PPG. The one similarly both teams possess is the inability to pressure the quarterback which means more time to find receivers. This game smells of a high scoring affair.
THE PICK: Over 55.5
Stanford vs Louisville (-20)
Stanford is a very bad team losing six straight including not covering in each of those games. They have lost five games by 20 or more points. They are big underdogs at home and here are some stats that support Louisville. Stanford is 1-18 and 5-14 ATS since 2020 as home underdogs. Louisville, just upset Clemson two weeks ago and has one score losses to three top-14 teams this season.
THE PICK: Louisville -20
Ohio State (-29, 44.5) vs Northwestern
The Buckeyes have dominated this series winning 34 of 35 meetings all time, the only loss coming in 2014. When Ohio State is a double-digit favorite, the team is 55-1 SU and have covered in 33 of those games. Here’s an interesting stat, since 2010, teams favored by 30 or more, and the over/under is 46 is less, the over is 36-8.
THE PICK: OVER 44.5
Nebraska vs USC (-9)
The Trojans are making a change at quarterback as they turn to Jayden Maiava who takes over from Miller Moss. It’s a bit of a surprising move and now he faces a Cornhuskers defense that almost upset Ohio State a few weeks ago. Nebraska lost to UCLA and had a bye week so they come into this one with some rest and facing a No. 2 quarterback. Matt Rhule will keep this close.
