TGT NCAA Football Beating the Spread Week 7

ATS year to date 42-18

Colorado at No. 13 Oregon (-20)

This is a lot of points to give, mainly because the Buffaloes are averaging well over 30 points per game. Oregon is 1-2 ATS when favored by more than 20 points this year, so take the points.

Ducks 38  Buffs 20

South Carolina at No. 3 Georgia (-24.5)

Georgia has a tendency to start games out slow and because of that, I think they pull away in the second half. Take the Gamecocks and the points.

Dawgs 40  Cocks 24

No. 6 Oklahoma (-10.5) vs. No. 11 Texas

The last five games in this rivalry have been decided by less than a touchdown so take the Longhorns and the points. The Sooners will win the game because Texas secondary will be torched by Jalen Hurts.

Sooners 41  Longhorns 34

No. 16 Michigan (-20.5) at Illinois

The Wolverines have struggled on offense but the Illini have struggled for the last decade. Michigan wins and covers.

Wolverines 35  Illini 10

No. 23 Memphis (-3.5) at Temple

Temple has been very good and especially at home. I love this Memphis team but I think Temple wins a close one in an upset.

Owls 27  Tigers 24

Florida State at No. 2 Clemson (-25.5)

The Tigers have underperformed even though they are unbeaten. Coming off a bye week the Tigers will win easy but 25 points is a lot against a talented yet under-achieving Seminoles team.

Tigers 41  Noles 20

Michigan State at No. 8 Wisconsin (-10)

Look for Jonathan Taylor to have a big game against a suspect Spartans defense. The Badgers need a statement game and they get it here.

Badgers 34  Spartans 13

Washington State at No. 18 Arizona State (-3)

Both teams are coming off a bye week and Mike Leach called his Cougars out during the bye week. Look for a great game with a lot of offense.

Sun Devils 41  Cougars 38

USC at No. 9 Notre Dame (-11.5)

Ian Book will be the difference in this game. If he starts out hot the Irish will steamroll the Trojans!

Irish 37  Trojans 17

No. 7 Florida at No. 5 LSU (-13)

The Gators offense will not be able to score enough to win this game. The question will be can they score enough to cover?

Tigers 31  Gators 20
