Thw Arizona State Sun Devils have enjoyed an exciting turnaround under second-year coach Kenny Dillingham, with Cam Skattebo averaging 5.6 yards per carry and only allowing 96 yards on three yards per carry against. Utah had its bye week last week while their quarterback situation remains unknown; however, Utah defeated the Sun Devils 55-3 last season ATS (but only managed one cover within seven points) against Power 4 opponents.
How will Alabama rebound after suffering an unexpected defeat against Vanderbilt? South Carolina recently lost 27-3 to Ole Miss, but managed to cover in their 30-6 road victory at Kentucky. Alabama struggled defensively during their defeat at Vanderbilt; Vanderbilt ranks 20th while South Carolina ranks 120th when it comes to third-down conversion rates – something Alabama can capitalize upon in the second half, when Jalen Milroe and Ryan Williams connect for two touchdowns!
Clemson has been on an ACC roll ever since its season-opening loss to Georgia, covering three of four games. But due to a two-point drop from its open, Wake Forest may prove more difficult to count on given that they’ve allowed 30 or more points every game this year and possess one of the worst defenses in the ACC. We trust Clemson will find ways to stop their opponents on the road!
Missouri is coming off an embarrassing loss against Texas A&M and now has a game at UMass with their average 19-point-per-game Minutemen quarterback Taisun Phommahanh to try to slow them down on offense. Missouri could use some much-needed help offensively and could pull away with an impressive first-half lead behind Brady Cook.
Prediction: Missouri 41 UMASS 7

Prediction: Texas 34 Oklahoma 21
The Boilermakers have only averaged 11 points during a four-game losing streak and recently suffered a 52-6 setback at Wisconsin. Illinois does not tend to overpower opponents – particularly following its bye week when quarterback Luke Altmyer can hopefully keep control of any turnovers that arise. This Purdue team is so bad that the Illini will cover.
Prediction: Purdue 34 Purdue 10
USC is in trouble following its shocking loss at Minnesota, but can they stop Penn State’s rushing attack? USC ranks 17th in run defense; therefore, Penn State can use Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen against an opponent that allowed an average of 5.33 yards per carry during Big Ten play. Miller Moss should find success against the Penn State secondary. Cross-country tests become more evident now; can the Nittany Lions pass their road test?
Prediction: Penn State 27 USC 24
Cal’s season came crashing to a halt against Miami in Week 6, but now it faces Pitt, which finally finds itself ranked. Eli Holstein ranks third in the ACC with 15 touchdown passes for Pitt. Cal is coming off an emotionally devastating loss and the travel will not help their cause.
Prediction: Pitt 26 Cal 20
Notre Dame boasts an excellent run defense that only allows an average of 3.3 yards per carry fo. Notre Dame which ranks sixth in pass efficiency defense and can potentially move even closer towards playoff contention with yet another impressive win. The Irish are the better team and win easily, but that -23.5 points is a lot.
Prediction: Notre Dame 31 Stanford 14
BYU will aim to remain unbeaten this season against an inconsistent Wildcats squad coming off of an upset loss at Texas Tech. BYU currently ranks fourth in Big 12 pass defense and must find ways to limit Tetairoa McMillan, an All-American receiver.
Prediction: BYU 27 Arizona 20
Georgia, which has failed to cover in three out of the past four weeks, faces another massive spread this week against Mississippi State, who allow an average of 212.8 yards on the ground per game. Mississippi State enjoyed a bye week as they prepared themselves, yet Georgia will easily outmatch Mississippi State on both sides of the ball.
Prediction: Georgia 41 Mississippi State 13
Who will feel more pressure in this game? Tennessee is coming off of a devastating loss at Arkansas. Meanwhile, Graham Mertz’s 86.4% completion percentage over his last two games has proven promising, while Tennessee’s defense has yet to allow 20 points a game this year.
Prediction: Tennessee 30 Florida 13
This line has already moved up half a point and could go even higher before kickoff, indicating a high degree of value with the Buckeyes, who boast an effective team featuring Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson’s tag-team running game. Oregon will need Jordan James to get going against a defensive unit that allows only 73.6 yards per game, while Dillon Gabriel must stay out of trouble inside their red zone to prevent turnovers from occurring.
Prediction: Ohio State 34 Oregon 23
Since 2022, the LSU Tigers have lost one home game, against a Hendon Hooker-led Tennessee team. Can Ole Miss beat LSU in Death Valley? The answer will be a resounding yes.

West Virginia quarterback Garrett Greene has led them to two straight victories with an incredible 53.3% completion percentage while also amassing 80+ rushing yards during those games.
Prediction: Iowa State 23 West Virginia 17
