Michigan vs Michigan State Picks

Time: Noon

Home Field Edge: Michigan State +4.5

Line: Michigan -25.5

College Football Odds Action: Mich. St. 56%

9th ranked Michigan (7-0 record) will be looking for payback after getting beaten 27-23 on their hometurf last season. Michigan State’s 2-5 record is dismal but quarterback Tyler O’Connor is a leader that will have his troops playing for pride in a rivalry game. Lumbering 6’6″ Michigan QB Wilton Speight (5.0 40-speed) will be tested by MSU’s underachieving linebacking corps that came into the season touted among the nation’s best. Michigan State’s blue chip athletes will give enough effort to keep things close against Michigan’s #1 ranked defense and 3rd ranked offense. Michigan’s well touted defense can be run against and that will be an x-factor. Established 10-year Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio’s will to win also cannot be underestimated.

Miami vs Notre Dame Picks

Time: 3:30

Home Field Edge: Notre Dame +5.0

Line: Pick’em

College Football Odds Action: Miami 57%

Both of these disappointing teams are trying to go to a relevant bowl game after coming into the season with lofty expectations. This will be a duel between NFL bound quarterbacks Brad Kayaa from UM and DeShone Kizer from ND. Miami’s (4-3) poor offensive line and green linebacking crew has been their underlying problems. Notre Dame (2-5) has suffered from questionable coaching, shoddy pass defense and a mediocre running game. Expect the Hurricanes to use physical running backs Mark Walton (485 Lb. squat) and Joseph Yearby (425 Lb. squat) to take pressure off pocket passer Kayaa and open up the passing game. Miami will have improved depth with the return of some key players off the injury list.

Nebraska vs Wisconsin Picks

Time: 7:00

Home Field Edge: Wisconsin +5.5

Line: Wisconsin -9.5

College Football Odds Action: Nebraska 62%

Undefeated 6th ranked Nebraska (7-0) to 11th ranked Wisconsin (5-2) because of their quality of opposition but the talent on the field has no huge edge favoring the WSU. Nebraska will have the edge at QB with athletic Tommy Armstrong facing marginal Badgers signal-caller Alex Hornibrook who was benched in his last outing. The Cornhuskers have faced limited competition but come in with the swagger of being undefeated while the twice beaten Badgers title hopes were likely dashed in losses to Michigan and Ohio State.

Clemson vs Florida State Picks

Time: 8:00

Home Field Edge: Florida State +6

Line: Clemson -4.5

College Football Odds Action: Clemson 59%

Florida State’s underperforming defense is littered with top recruits but was roasted for 530+ yards in losses to Louisville and North Carolina. Expect an inspired effort at home from the defense where the night crowd will be well oiled with adult beverages. Clemson (7-0) has a well publicized offense that has not been as good as advertised with projected 1st round NFL pick QB DeShaun Watson ranking 37th in passer rating. Florida State (5-2) QB Deandre Francois ranks 12th in total QBR and could outduel the Heisman candidate. The Tigers top-10 defense has holes against the run and should get burned by FSU running back Dalvin Cook (4.38 40-speed).

College Football Picks Week 9: FSU +4.5
