I had a dismal week, going 4-8 towards the quantity to drop me to 2 video games below .500 for the season towards the unfold. The nice: selecting Mizzou to knock off the Tennessee. The dangerous: selecting Tulane to blow out Tulsa. The ugly: selecting Texas to thump TCU.
Listed here are this week’s guesses.
(All level spreads come from BetMGM; click on right here for stay odds. All kickoff instances Japanese and on Saturday except in any other case listed.)
No. 3 Michigan (-19.5) at Maryland, midday (Fox)
No Jim Harbaugh. No downside. The Wolverines are too bodily for the Terps.
Michigan 35, Maryland 20
The decide: Maryland +19.5
No. 10 Louisville at Miami (decide ’em), midday (ABC)
The Canes confirmed numerous grit giving Florida State all it may possibly deal with in Tallahassee final week. The hunch right here is that they get after the Cardinals, who get again on the highway for the primary time since their dud of a exhibiting at Pitt.
Miami 20, Louisville 17
The decide: Miami
No. 22 Utah at No. 17 Arizona (-1), 2:30 p.m. (Pac-12 Community)
Jedd Fisch has the Wildcats enjoying with a ton of confidence. They’ve a extra dynamic offense and needs to be potent sufficient to get the Utes enjoying away from house.
Arizona 24, Utah 17
The decide: Arizona -1
No. 1 Georgia (-9.5) at No. 18 Tennessee, 3:30 p.m. (CBS)
UT received smoked final week by Mizzou. I believe they’ll be extra prepared for Georgia, however the Dawgs are nonetheless too bodily for them. The Vols run recreation has been explosive in non-conference video games averaging over 7.2 yards a pop, however that common drops virtually three yards per carry in SEC play and Mizzou, Florida and Bama all bottled them up.
Georgia 37, Tennessee 17
The decide: Georgia -9.5
No. 21 Kansas State (-9.5) at No. 25 Kansas, 7 p.m. (FS1)
The Jayhawks are banged up proper now they usually’re dealing with a crew that pounded them final 12 months. Anticipate KU to maintain it slightly nearer than in 2022.
Kansas State 28, Kansas 17
The decide: Kansas State -9.5
Florida at No. 9 Missouri (-11.5), 7:30 p.m. (ESPN)
The Tigers offense is enjoying with a ton of confidence proper now and RB Cody Schrader is actually cranked up. The hunch right here is the visiting Gators who’ve been actually dangerous on the highway this season (1-3 with solely a 41-39 win at a foul South Carolina crew) gained’t have the ability to decelerate the Mizzou assault. UF has allowed 555 speeding yards the previous two video games and now they face the highest RB within the SEC in Schrader.
Missouri 31, Florida 17
The decide: Missouri -11.5
No. 5 Washington at No. 11 Oregon State (-2), 7:30 p.m. (ABC)
The Beavers are actually powerful at house they usually have a punishing 1-2 speeding assault. OSU provides opposing quarterbacks main issues in Corvallis. This 12 months, visiting QBs are finishing below 50 % of their passes and have a 4-to-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Over the previous three seasons, that quantity is a woeful 14-to-25.
Oregon State 30, Washington 24
The decide: Oregon State -2
No. 7 Texas (-7.5) at Iowa State, 8 p.m. (Fox)
The younger Cyclones have been a nice shock and their protection may decelerate all of UT’s pace. I used to be tempted to choose the outright upset, however I believe the Horns are powerful sufficient within the trenches to get out of Ames with a win.
Texas 24, Iowa State 20
The decide: Iowa State +7.5
Feldman’s upset particular
Colorado at Washington State (-4), 10:30 p.m. Friday (FS1)
Each groups are reeling. I’m tempted to choose the house crew as this recreation is predicted to be a sellout and would be the Cougars’ final Pac-12 recreation in Pullman, however I believe Shedeur Sanders can mild up a protection that has given up 38 factors or extra in 4 of its final 5 video games.
Colorado 42, Washington State 40
The decide: Colorado +4
