College Football Picks

Akron has multiple paths to cover the number and threatens to win outright. Roll with the Zips. 

Bangura has rushed for 97 or more yards in five of his previous seven games, and should get at least that many rushing yards on Tuesday. 

Western Michigan's defense should lead the Broncos to another win over a Northern Illinois team that might struggle to score at all on Tuesday.

Labas has been efficient all season, completing 72.2% of his throws for 1313 yards and 10 touchdowns. With no wind or rain in the forecast, along with strong protection in front of him, it makes an ideal opportunity for another big passing game. 

The senior also grew up just down the road in Brecksville and is coming off a season-high 247 passing yards against Buffalo.

Labas’ passing yards prop is too low. Play the Over.  

The Sooners keep almost every opponent below their season average of points allowed and the Tigers have been struggling on offense against good teams.

Missouri has yet to beat a ranked team and on the road they will struggle to keep up with the Sooners. 

Baylor's rush defense has become a laughingstock. Admittedly, it started the year as a joke, giving up 307 yards to Auburn in the opener. Utah ran for nearly 400 late on Saturday, just a few weeks after Cincinnati took 50 carries for more than five yards per carry. Enter Arizona and a top-25 rushing offense. The Wildcats should gash the Bears.

Going strictly by the numbers, James Madison should be a full two-touchdown favorite. Going by the motivation at hand as the Dukes try to make a case for a College Football Playoff bid, expect James Madison to press the gas for the whole game. This is one moment in which there should be on risk of a backdoor cover.

Notre Dame has won three Senior Days under Marcus Freeman by a combined score of 124-21. Some of that reflects the quality of opponents, but much of it reflects Freeman's tendency of bettering his team as the season goes along. That was evident as Pittsburgh's supposedly dynamic offense went 2-of-13 on late-down situations last weekend. This aggressive defense now faces a bottom-25 offense in late-down situations, one that has so scuffled for a quarterback since Steve Angeli's injury that it at one point turned to the lacrosse team.

Neither team plays at a fast tempo, the pace should be relatively slow. The Ducks will run the ball, keeping the clock ticking, and USC's vaunted offense will be slowed by Oregon's elite defense.

This is too many points - USC was -2 in turnover margin against Notre Dame and still covered the 10.5-point spread. The Irish and the Ducks are of similar caliber, and this is another inflated line for a Lincoln Riley team on the road.
