Season wins: 23

Forecast and choice of Air Force versus Army

Choice: BBC +23.5

Too many numbers in an underrated rivalry game. The Air Force is bad and the Army is good, but the assets may not be enough to make this game an escape.

Duke vs. Miami (FL) Prediction and Picks

Choice: Duke +20

The Blue Devils have lost twice this season by 11 points and typically play every game close, win or lose. Miami’s average lead over the ACC is 8.5 points. Mathematics says the spread is too great.

Minnesota vs Illinois Prediction and Picks

Choice: Illinois +3

Yes, the Gophers have been playing much better lately, winning three in a row. But Illinois as the home underdog in this situation is a gift. Max Brosmer has been a hot QB the last couple of weeks in Minnesota, but on Saturday he’ll see a better defense than anything he’s faced in a while.

Florida vs Georgia Prediction and Picks

Choice: Florida +16

The Gators came together and set an open date to help rookie quarterback DJ Lagway feel more comfortable in the offense. The Bulldogs should still win – and perhaps easily if they can replicate the fire they played with in Texas – but this is a rivalry game that I expect to be competitive for all 60 minutes.

Colorado State vs Nevada Prediction and Picks

Pick: Colorado State -1

The Rams are on a roll, winning three straight and entering the Mountain West race. Nevada has yet to turn an opponent’s ball back this season.

Season wins: 27

Ole Miss vs Arkansas Prediction and Picks

Pick: Arkansas +7

This Ole Miss team continues to move in the wrong direction. Injuries are mounting on the offensive side of the ball, and the group has failed to score more than 27 points in SEC play.

The team now faces Arkansas, which has been a thorn in the side of the SEC’s elite all season, playing closer than the scoreboard indicated against LSU and stunning Tennessee at home.

With Georgia next week, could Ole Miss be looking to the future? The Razorbacks’ defensive line has been solid this season, and the Rebels’ offensive line now ranks outside the top half of the country in pass blocking and run blocking, according to Professional Football Focus.

Can Bobby Petrino develop a smart offensive game plan to keep the game tight? I think so.

Minnesota vs Illinois Prediction and Picks

Choice: Illinois +3

After getting smoked by Oregon on the road, Illinois is no longer the Big Ten upstart that pundits fawn over, but instead Minnesota!

The Golden Gophers have won three straight games, with a strong matchup against USC, a tie with UCLA and a blowout win over Maryland. Call me skeptical that this Minnesota team is a bandwagon that can go out on the road and win by a landslide against an Illinois team that ranks third in the country in EPA/Play despite a tougher schedule.

Arizona State vs Oklahoma State. Forecast and choice

Pick: Arizona State -2.5.

Arizona State will likely have Sam Leavitt back from injury, which will open up the Sun Devils’ passing game and won’t have much trouble getting the ball to the lowly Pokes.

Oklahoma State allows nearly seven yards per play and the most yards per carry, which is a big concern as Cam Skattebo lines up in the Arizona State backfield after the bye.

We’re coming off a loss to Oklahoma State this season and ASU needs to take care of business on the road.

Oregon vs Michigan Prediction and Picks

Pick: Oregon -14.5.

I’m not buying Michigan after its win over Michigan State.

The Wolverines don’t have a viable passing game with someone under center and they go back to Week 1 starter Davis Warren, and I don’t think the team can contain the Oregon offense long enough for the Ducks to open up a three-lead. points .

While Michigan has an elite defensive line, Oregon’s short passing game is one of the best in the country. According to Pro Football Focus, Heisman Trophy contender Dillon Gabriel completes more than 84% of his passes less than 10 yards downfield.

Put it with the ducks.

Old Dominion vs. Appalachian State Prediction and Pick

Choice: Old Dominion -2.5

In one of the season’s mismatches, Old Dominion’s promising ground game with freshman Colton Joseph will face the worst defense in the country in Appalachian State from an EPA/Rush perspective.

ODU has been on an upward trajectory over the last month, upsetting Bowling Green on the road, nearly beating Coastal Carolina in Conway the following week and then holding teams like Georgia State, Texas State and Georgia Southern to less than 20 points. every.

Take on an away favorite who has too many advantages against a struggling application. State defense.
