    Spread
    Picked: Nov 9 @ 8:13pm

    Analysis

    Michigan State and Penn State have each lost six straight games. However, Penn State is in one of the worst spots of the season on Saturday. Credit to the Nittany Lions for still fighting. They lost to Iowa by one, competed for a half against No. 1 Ohio State, and almost upset No. 2 Indiana last Saturday. My question is: How much do these players have left in the tank mentally after two emotional losses to Ohio State and Indiana? This is a tough spot for Penn State on the road laying over a touchdown with Michigan State coming off a bye. I can see a scenario where the Nittany Lions start off slowly and this settles into a close, low-scoring game.

    TEXAS +6.5
    -110
    Spread
    Picked: Nov 9 @ 8:25pm

    Analysis

    It’s do or die this week for Texas. A third loss almost certainly eliminates them from playoff contention, especially with so many other SEC teams in the hunt. A loss will be a big blow to Georgia as well. The Bulldogs would drop to 8-2 with a tough game at Georgia Tech still remaining. Last season Texas went 0-2 against Georgia, despite closing as the favorite both times. I think the Bulldogs are the better team here, although 6.5 points feels a bit inflated. I make Georgia -4.5 and think the line will close around that number. I'll grab the 6.5 early in what should be a competitive game for four quarters.

    PITT +10.5
    -110
    Spread
    LOSS
    Picked: Nov 9 @ 8:16pm

    Analysis

    The Fighting Irish have been rolling since starting the season 0-2, winning seven straight by an average of 28.5 points. This is Notre Dame’s last real test of the season and probably the only game standing between the Irish and the College Football Playoff. Pitt is an interesting team. The Panthers lost two straight games in September to West Virginia and Louisville. Since then, Pitt has rattled off five consecutive wins. Granted, the competition hasn’t been overly tough, but the Panthers are playing their best football of the season and have the luxury of coming off a bye week. This is Pitt’s Super Bowl. I think the Panthers put up a fight at home, so I'll grab the 10.5 points.

    Analysis

    UConn QB Joe Fagnano in the midst of one of the best season in recent annals; try 25 TD passes against no picks! The Huskies showed their mettle last week by outscoring potent Duke as Jim Mora readies UConn for another bowl invite. This one might not come easily, as sticking Air Force in the middle of the schedule without an extra prep week has haunted teams in the past. The Falcs finally broke thru at San Jose State to win 26-16 on Saturday night after playing four straight games decided by three points. Remember, the Force won its last four to close 2024, can get bowl-eligible by doing so again in November, and QB Liam Szarka is now a certified option wizard. Play AFA.

    SC +19.5
    -112
    Spread
    WIN
    Picked: Nov 10 @ 6:22pm

    Analysis

    This is an interesting spot for Texas A&M. The Aggies have been road warriors this season and are playing their first home game in over a month. South Carolina is in the midst of a dismal season. The Gamecocks were a sexy pick to make the CFP but have stumbled to a 3-6 record. Shane Beamer does find a way though to keep games close when his team is a big underdog. The Gamecocks have lost just once by 20+ points and that was versus Vanderbilt when starting QB LaNorris Sellers left the game with an injury. Maybe the Cocks have checked out mentally but I'm taking a shot they can muck this game up and stay within 19 points Saturday.
