The good news is that no one got a “push” last week on picks. The bad news is that one of us went 0-3. We’ve got a few of the same games on our slates this week, with two of us being on the opposite sides of Maryland and Ohio State. Feel free to let us know where you agree or disagree with us in the comments section below.

This Week’s Picks
Craig
Missouri (+6.5) vs. LSU | This game definitely feels like a trap for LSU. I’ve got Missouri covering the spread.
Ohio State (-20) vs. Maryland | Ohio State is one of two schools from the Big 10 that I believe can make the CFP. They win this one big at home.
Alabama (-2) at Texas A&M | Alabama got off to a bit of a shaky start. But, just like most Saban led teams they are starting to reach their stride. A win on the road should be no issue for the Crimson Tide.
Zack
Alabama (-2) at Texas A&M | Alabama is having a down year of sorts, but they’re still a really solid football team. Texas A&M hasn’t impressed me at all this year, so I’m taking the Crimson Tide by at least a touchdown.
Oklahoma (+6.5) vs. Texas | I’m not sure the Sooners will be able to beat Texas this year, but I do think the final score will be closer than a touchdown.
Oregon State (-9) at Cal | California isn’t very good, but Oregon State could be due for a letdown. I think the game might be close through halftime, but the Beavers should easily win by double digits.
Matt
Maryland (+20) at Ohio State | This was a 13-point win for the Buckeyes in 2022, but that game was in College Park and this weekend they’re mix it up at the Horseshoe. Does home field advantage make up seven points from last year to this year? Perhaps if we were dealing with last year’s Ohio State team. We’re not, though, and I like the Terrapins and those twenty points.
Missouri (+6.5) vs. LSU | The LSU Tigers gave up 700 yards of offense to Ole Miss last week. While Missouri may not feature Lane Kiffin’s offense, they’re still pretty salty and they’re playing in front of the home crowd.
Washington State (+3.5) at UCLA | It’s time to determine if the Cougars are the real deal or not, and this weekend will go a long way towards that. I’m a little scared about this one though, because I feel like that point spread is really close to being spot on.
