5. Penn State at Michigan State

BetMGM Line: Penn State -5.5, o/u: 43.5

Why You Should Bet On Penn State: There’s no Michigan State offense lately. Playing Ohio State and Wisconsin on the road will do that, but the Spartan running game isn’t working and the Nittany Lion defensive front is living in opposing backfields. The defensive pressure throughout the game from Micah Parsons, Yetur-Gross Matos and the deep D won’t stop.

Why You Should Bet On Michigan State: Rest, rest, rest. Michigan State looked awful partly because it played three road games in four weeks after dealing with a good Arizona State team. Getting two weeks off should do wonders for the team and the coaching staff. Penn State’s week off is right after this, and it’s getting a fresh and angry Spartans defense to deal with.

Prediction: Dantonio and the Spartans dominate the Nittany Lions lately, winning the last two games between the two programs and four of the last five. With the time off, expect it to continue with Michigan State winning outright in a close, tight game.

4. Oklahoma at Kansas State

BetMGM Line: Oklahoma -23.5, o/u: 57.5

Why You Should Bet On Oklahoma: Oklahoma is dominating because of the … defense? QB Jalen Hurts and the offense might be putting on a weekly show of fun, but the big difference this year is a defense that’s coming up with a slew of third-down stops and doing a great job of getting off the field in a hurry. Kansas State has been okay on third downs, but it melted down against Oklahoma State a few weeks ago converting just 8% of its chances. This is a good Wildcats team, but it doesn’t have the offensive firepower to keep up.

Why You Should Bet On Kansas State: Work the formula. Long, slow drives, control the clock, don’t turn the ball over, convert on every chance, take Oklahoma out of its rhythm. Skyler Thompson isn’t the type of quarterback who can hang with Hurts and the OU offense punch-for-punch, but he has only thrown one pick on the year and he’s not going to make the big mistake.

Prediction: Kansas State should be just good enough at home to keep this from going off the rails, but Oklahoma will turn it in for the spurt it needs to have to put it away. The Sooners will win, but won’t cover.

3. Michigan at Notre Dame

BetMGM Line: Notre Dame -1.5, o/u: 52.5

Why You Should Bet On Notre Dame: Can Michigan maintain its focus and production for a full 60 minutes? QB Shea Patterson and the offense got rolling in the second half against Penn State, but it needed to wake up after getting rolled in the first. The O took some time off against Illinois, and overall, it hasn’t been even close to consistent enough to beat the big teams. Notre Dame’s running game is starting to roll with Tony Jones getting better and better, and the offense as a whole has been getting the job done in tight spots. Michigan’s isn’t.

Why You Should Bet On Michigan: There’s a chance the light went on for the offense in Happy Valley. If the running game can keep on producing just enough to give Patterson and the passing attack a little more help, and if the line can keep the Notre Dame pass rush on its heels, the Wolverines might just be able to click. USC’s great receivers were able to do some damage on the Notre Dame secondary, and Michigan’s are better.

Prediction: Jim Harbaugh gets a horrible rap for not winning the big games – he wins all the other ones – but … it’s a big game, and it’s Harbaugh. Notre Dame has had two weeks off, Michigan is coming off the emotional fight against Penn State, and that rest should be just enough to give the Irish a close win – the 1.5 doesn’t really matter.

2. Wisconsin at Ohio State

BetMGM Line: Ohio State -14.5, o/u: 498.5

Why You Should Bet On Wisconsin: No one has punched Ohio State in the mouth yet. Northwestern is a wee bit physical, and Michigan State has a tough team, but … come on. QB Justin Fields has yet to be under any sort of pressure, and now he’ll have to deal with a salty Badger defense that just gave up a nine-point lead with six minutes to play against Illinois. The Buckeyes have the talent, but the Badgers should have the ball for well over 35 minutes.

Why You Should Bet On Ohio State: The receivers are way too amazing. Throw it deep on the Wisconsin secondary, keep throwing it deep, and things will spring wide open. The Buckeyes have too many amazing NFL targets to spread the field, and RB J.K. Dobbins is too fast and too good if he gets even the slightest crease to run through. There are too many next-level weapons and too much athleticism for the Badger D to deal with.

Prediction: The 14.5 is a bit too much. Wisconsin really is as good as the first six weeks of the season showed, this team really is as strong as the blowout wins over Michigan and Michigan State looked. Ohio State, though, is a totally different animal. The Badgers will keep it closer than the 14.5, but the Buckeyes will get the win.

1. Auburn at LSU

BetMGM Line: LSU -10.5, o/u: 59.5

Why You Should Bet On Auburn: The Auburn defensive line might just be the best in college football. Derrick Brown is playing like the All-America defensive tackle he was expected to be, the defense as a whole leads the SEC in third-down stops, and the pressure should be there to finally throw QB Joe Burrow off his game a little bit. This team knows how to turn games into slugfests, but …

Why You Should Bet On LSU: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Florida’s D full of NFL talent was supposed to hold down Burrow and company, and that didn’t happen. Burrow is coming up with a historic season – no quarterback in FBS history has come close to hitting 79% for a full year – and Auburn’s Bo Nix isn’t. Nix has been okay overall, and he came through late against Oregon, but he was awful for about 58 minutes in the season opener and struggled against Florida. The LSU defense might not be a brick wall so far, but it’s good enough to slow down the Auburn passing game.

Prediction: The Tigers will win (rim shot followed by groan). Be very, very careful here. Auburn absolutely has the defense and the talent to not only cover the 10.5 – it came down from 12 – but to win it outright. Expect this to be lower-scoring than the 59.5, and expect LSU to win, but not cover.
