Kansas +5 over Kansas State
Kansas State pulled the upset shocker last week knocking off Oklahoma but that leads to a letdown today. They have historically dominated little brother Kansas but this team has showed life this season under Les Miles. This game has the potential to turn into a shootout which is more in the wheelhouse of Kansas who has the better offense (#63 compared to #106). This rivalry game should come down to the wire with Kansas being a live dog so getting 5 points is a great bet. Take Kansas.

Florida +7 over Georgia
Florida comes into this game a very quiet 7-1 overall on the season. The Gators are off three straight solid games and three straight covers. They beat a good Auburn team at home earlier this month then they went on the road to LSU and went toe to toe with one of the top teams in the country and last time out took care of business on the road at South Carolina. Florida always has a big location advantage in this game since Jacksonville is much closer to Gainesville than is Athens. Georgia has not been playing well on offense of late, and this is the best defense they will face to this point of the season. Georgia’s best win of the season came by only six points against a very overrated Notre Dame team. Florida has played the tougher schedule and has proven more. Too many points, this is going to be a competitive game. Take Florida.

Washington +3.5 over Utah
Great buy low, sell high spot in this game. Utah is overvalued right now as they have took advantage of a very soft schedule of late. The Utes have played just one road game over the past five weeks and they played that game after a bye week as well, having two weeks to prepare for that contest. Going back further in the year we see that Utah has lost on the road to USC in what has been their toughest game to date this season. The Utes are also coming off back to back blowout home wins and got to play Cal who was starting their 3rd string true freshman quarterback. Chris Peterson off the bye is one of the best bets in sports, he is 18-0 straight up coming off a regular season bye. Washington comes in off the loss against Oregon and they had two weeks to stew over a game they let slip away. That was a tough spot for the Huskies as they were playing their 8th straight week of the season which is rare this time of the year for a CFB team. Washington looked like they ran out of gas in that game losing by 4 points as they led most of the game before losing a 4th quarter lead to the Ducks. Now the Huskies come in rested and off a bye with two weeks to prepare for this game here against Utah. The Huskies are very live to win this outright. Take Washington.

Memphis -5.5 over SMU
It’s very rare to see a lower ranked team laying points against an undefeated team, but this line is warranted. SMU has yet to lose but they played in a lot of close games this season, winning four games by a field goal or less. Their undefeated season almost came to an end last week as they were outgained by a shorthanded Houston team 510-385 but the Cougars won by a field goal thanks to three Houston turnovers. SMU has been hanging on by the skin of their teeth on multiple occasions this season but have had no luck of late against the Tigers who has won the last four meetings by an average of 35 points. Memphis has one of the top yards per play differentials in all of college football and Brady White and company should have little trouble piling up passing yardage against one of the worst pass defenses in college football. College Game day is also in Memphis which is a huge deal for a Group of 5 program. I look for Memphis to come out strong and win this game by double digits. Take Memphis.
