Barrett Sallee has locked in his top three college football picks for the Week 9 college football schedule

No. 14 Notre Dame will return from its bye when it faces Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon during the Week 9 college football schedule. The Fighting Irish split their four-game stretch against ranked opponents, closing it out with a 48-20 win over then-No. 10 USC two weeks ago. They are 20.5-point favorites against Pittsburgh in the latest Week 9 college football odds from SportsLine consensus. Pittsburgh has been within 20 points in all five of its losses this season, so should you back the Panthers with your Week 9 college football bets?

Top-ranked Georgia will try to extend its 24-game winning streak when it faces Florida in a rivalry game on Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS). The Bulldogs are 14-point favorites in the Week 9 college football spreads, but they have only covered the spread once this season.

Top Week 9 college football expert predictions

One of Sallee's top Week 9 college football picks: He is going Over 52 in the Texas A&M vs. South Carolina matchup at noon ET in College Station.

South Carolina has been playing high-scoring games since the end of last season, going Over the total in seven of its last 10 games. The Gamecocks have allowed at least 30 points in four straight games, giving up 41 points twice during that stretch. They are facing a Texas A&M offense that had an extra week to prepare for this game, and the Aggies have scored at least 27 points in all but two games this season.

Texas A&M tends to play its highest-scoring games at this time of the year, going Over in 11 of its last 15 games in October. Aggies quarterback Max Johnson has thrown at least 25 passes in three straight games, while South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler has been airing the ball out all season. This is shaping up to be a shootout on Saturday afternoon, making the Over a strong bet for Week 9. See what other picks Sallee likes at SportsLine.
