10 Best College Football Predictions Against The Spread: Week 9. Extreme Point Totals

The 10 best college football predictions against the spread for Week 9, diving into a slew of extreme point totals that appear to be very, very off.

1. Iowa at Wisconsin

LINE 36.5 Point Total
ATS PICK Over

May God help me if I’m wrong, because if I am, this game might be too ugly to let the sport of college football continue.

You can’t set a total on the number of Wisconsin turnovers vs Iowa high enough.

The Badgers give the ball away like they enjoy the way it makes the other team feel inside, and when the aren’t turning it over, it’s because they’re not throwing the ball.

There is no Wisconsin passing game. It doesn’t work, and the very smart coaches are going to do everything possible to keep the ball from going in the air against an Iowa defense that will be frothing at the mouth after not doing enough of that takeaway thing it does against Purdue two weeks ago.

You can’t set the total on the number of tackles for loss Iowa will give up high enough.

This Hawkeye offensive line gets a whole lot of balloon bouquets and edible arrangements sent its way, but this team can’t run a lick, it gives up plays in the backfield by the bucketload, and it’s about spend the better part of a Saturday afternoon watching the incredible Badger defensive front doing its Beachbody On Demand workout on QB Spencer Petras’s head.

But you take the over on 36.5 in a college football game. Always.

Wisconsin will turn the ball over a lot. Those mistakes will lead to Iowa points.

Iowa will give up a lot of plays in the backfield. The Badgers will get good enough field position to go on a few decent scoring drives.

We know how this is going to work. It’s going to be 3-0 at the half, and social media will mock and ridicule the total. And then the mistakes will fly, and the there will be just enough points scored to get out alive.

One of these teams might just get 37 on its own if this gets out of hand. Michigan and Notre Dame scored 41 and 38, respectively, on the Badgers.

Purdue scored 24 on Iowa, and the uggo of a Penn State game ended up with a combined 43 points.

The world just handed you a college football point total of 36.5. If this doesn’t work, sleep well knowing you did the right thing.
