COLLEGE FOOTBALL SATURDAY FRIDAY IS HERE. You know the drill. Gambling picks below. TV schedule/streaming info at the bottom. Have a happy Thanksgiving weekend!
Texas (-15.5) at Kansas - Kansas is probably going to come out firing in this one, but Sam Ehlinger is indeed expected to play today. I don’t picture Kansas being run off their home field in David Beaty’s last game, and I think this actually stays somewhat for a half. The problem is that Kansas, who is actually kind of great at creating turnovers, is facing a QB who has rarely made mistakes as a sophomore. That great equalizer could be largely out of play for the Jayhawks. Gambling Pick: Texas wins this one by three scores and covers. Over 49
Oklahoma (-3) at West Virginia - We’ve already discussed this at length, but I just think Oklahoma’s ability to run the ball and grind it out when needed is going to put them over the top in this one. I’d expect another crucial, late turnover for this defense, as well. Gambling Pick: Oklahoma covers by a hair. SLAM the over (o/u 85) in this one
Washington at Washington State (-2.5) - Washington’s defense (ninth in defensive S&P+) is likely going to keep this one close. Will the energy in Pullman push the Cougars over the top, or will WSU shrink with so much on the line? Gambling Pick: Washington State wins by a FG or TD and covers. Over 52
Michigan (-4.5) at Ohio State - Rivalry game, throw out the records, yada yada yada. Clichés aside, Ohio State is playing at The Shoe and hasn’t lost to Michigan in Columbus since Josh Heupel was quarterbacking Mark Mangino’s offense. Dwayne Haskins is going to have to have a clean game against a great defense, but playing at home will likely help matters (74.5 comp. %, 25 TD, 4 INT at home in 2018). Gambling Pick: Ohio State straight up. Under 56
Auburn at Alabama (-24) - Rivalry game or no, this has entirely too much potential to be an absolute skull-dragging. Will it happen early? Probably not since Auburn since Auburn is pretty solid defensively (14th in defensive S&P+). However, I can see them being worn down in the second half, resulting in this one getting out of hand. Gambling Pick: Alabama covers. Over 53
