Zack
Kansas State (+3.5) at West Virginia | Keep doubting the Wildcats. That’s fine. They’re going to keep proving haters wrong. I’m not sure how in the world the Mountaineers are favored in this one, aside from the fact that it’s being played in Morgantown, but give me Kansas State for the win.
Notre Dame (-20.0) at Georgia Tech | The Fighting Irish by 3 touchdowns should be easy against a terrible Yellow Jacket squad. In Georgia Tech’s 4 losses, they’ve been demolished by an average of 33 points. I’m picking Notre Dame by 5 touchdowns.
North Carolina (-7.0) at Virginia | The Tar Heels cost me once already this season, but the Cavaliers haven’t been able to get it done since winning their opening game against Duke. I’m taking North Carolina by a touchdown and some change.
Rich
Iowa State (-28.5) at Kansas | Let’s be honest, the Kansas Jayhawks are a terrible football team. It’s very possible they could go winless. On the other side of the equation, Iowa State is still playing for a conference championship. Clearly the more talented team, the Cyclones should pull out an easy win by a bunch of points.
Kentucky (+17) vs Georgia | The Wildcats Are not as bad as what their record might portray. With a balanced offense and a defense giving up at 20 points per game, some fans might be surprised by the outcome of this game. Give me Kentucky and the points in this one.
Auburn (+2.5) vs LSU | The folks from Baton Rouge are giving up at nearly 500 yards per game on defense. While this one is most likely a shoot out, I don’t know how LSU is favored. I’ll tell the home team for the win here.
Mark
Texas at Oklahoma State (-3.5) | I believe that the Pokes defense is going to give Ehlinger and Yurcich fits. I expect the Cowboy offense to take a step forward with Spencer Sanders.
Kansas State (+3.5) at West Virginia | I think Kansas State will win straight up but I’ll take the points if they’ll give them to me.
Arkansas at Texas A&M (-12.5) | Arkansas is playing another top 25 opponent and this time they are not going to cover.
Craig
BYU (-29) Vs. Western Kentucky | The Cougars have been dominating their opponents this season. This matchup with WKU will be an easy one for the Cougars.
North Carolina (-7) at Virginia | North Carolina had a set back two weeks ago but bounced back with an impressive performance in their last outing against Syracuse. I think they will come out and do the same to Virginia this week.
Coastal Carolina (-2.5) at Georgia State | Coastal Carolina has had plenty of good and bad performances this year. That being said, they’ve always found a way to come out with the win. I think they will improve their record to 6-0 this week with a comfortable win over Georgia State.
Matt
East Carolina (+16.5) at Tulsa | Friday night games haven’t been good to me this year but here I am again. I like Tulsa by around 10 points in this game which won’t be enough to cover the 16.5 points they are favored by.
UCF (-2.5) at Houston | This will be a fun game that I believe will be within one score. If UCF is on top at the end, which I’m betting they will be, it’ll be by a field goal to a touchdown.
Kentucky (+17) vs. Georgia | Defense will be on display in this game. That bodes well for a three-score underdog. UGA wins it but the Wildcats keep it interesting enough to cover the spread.
