Why UMass Will Win

No, really, Northwestern just doesn’t score.

What does the nation’s worst defense desperately need? One of the nation’s worst offenses.

Northwestern has the nation’s second-worst scoring attack – averaging just 11 points per game – has the least-efficient passing game in college football, and makes things a whole lot worse with a whole bunch of turnovers.

Even last week when the offense did move a bit and the running game worked against Purdue, the offense still only managed 22 points. The Wildcats can dink and dunk a little bit, but there’s nothing for the UMass defense to worry about deep.

For all of the problems the Minutemen defense might have, it’s not bad at taking the ball away, coming up with three turnovers in four games, They’re going to need at least three to make this a wee bit interesting, because …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Northwestern Will Win

No, really, UMass has the nation’s worst defense.

This thing is next-level bad, allowing 500 yards or more in every game but the win over an Akron team that’s the worst in college football.

You want to throw the ball? Everyone is able to fire at will for yards in bulk, unless they want to run at will. UMass has allowed 240 rushing yards or more in every game but two, and 300 yards or more in three of the last four games.

Northwestern’s Drake Anderson has been running just well enough to get the ball more, Kyric McGowan tore off 146 yards last week against Purdue as the receiver changed up his roles a little bit, and this week …

Everyone gets to eat.

And …

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

The Northwestern defense will have something to do with this.

The focus will be on an offense that’s done next to nothing all season long, but the D will make this a laugher. The UMass defense will get hit for big, big yards against a team desperate to have a little bit of offensive fun, but the offense will be just as big a problem with no running game whatsoever against the Wildcat defensive front.

Minnesota (9-0) vs. Iowa (6-3) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Minnesota Will Win

Can we start giving Minnesota credit for having a terrific passing game led by a quarterback having a fantastic season?

Everyone knows who Joe Burrow is now. Everyone figured out how to spell Tagovailoa, is familiar with Jalen Hurts, marvels at Justin Fields, and has Justin Herbert on the NFL radar.

Does anyone have a clue who Tanner Morgan is?

He’s only the fourth-most efficient passer in college football – right after Hurts, Tagovailoa and Burrow – is third in yards per attempt, and is coming off a special day against a supposedly impenetrable Penn State defense.

Minnesota might be able to run well with Rodney Smith and its deep group of backs, but Morgan was the star last Saturday, completing 18-of-20 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns. It helps to have NFL-caliber receivers in Rashod Bateman and Tyler Johnson to throw to.

Iowa’s secondary has been solid, but it got can be hit for big yards by a hot quarterback, and it doesn’t generate enough of a pass rush to bother Morgan on a consistent basis.

Iowa’s Nate Stanley hit a few big passes last week against Wisconsin, but it doesn’t have a deep ball aspect to its game. Minnesota can unleash that at any time.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Iowa Will Win

Iowa does a lot of things Penn State does, only – potentially – without the turnovers.

To be fair, Penn State doesn’t have a turnover problem and Minnesota was good enough to change that for a game, but the Hawkeyes have only lost the turnover battle twice – the losses to Michigan and Penn State – and gave it away a mere three times in the other seven games.

The Hawkeyes have to hold up against the run, and they almost certainly won’t get gouged. And even if they do, they’re going to be able to keep this close.

Last week, Jonathan Taylor was able to go off on the Iowa run defense, but 1) that’s Jonathan Taylor, 2) it was an aberration, and 3) the Hawkeyes still almost pulled out the win. They’re 0-3 when allowing 120 rushing yards or more, and 6-0 when allowing fewer.

To hold up, Iowa has to control the time of possession battle – it’s great at that – and it needs Stanley to keep hitting his third down plays. Sean Clifford kept things moving throughout the game for Penn State, and Stanley can hit those same sorts of throws to the tight ends over the middle to keep gouging the Gopher secondary. However …

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Minnesota is amazing at winning close games, and Iowa is just okay at it.

Iowa is roughly three plays away from unbeaten – or close to three plays – but that’s sort of the point. Minnesota is 5-0 in games decided by a touchdown or less, and Iowa is 2-3 in those games.

The world is watching Minnesota now, but this game doesn’t matter that much. The Gophers can lose, beat Northwestern and Wisconsin, and get to the Big Ten Championship at 11-1 with a shot at Ohio State or Penn State for an almost certain berth in the College Football Playoff.

First, the Gophers will take one step closer to getting to Indianapolis by hanging on late for yet another thrilling, close win.

Second, they leave Kinnick Stadium with the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy.

Michigan State (4-5) vs. Michigan (7-2) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Michigan State Will Win

Of course there’s pressure. The team just collapsed against Illinois and is on an ugly four-game losing streak. However … there’s no pressure compared to what’s on the Michigan side of the field. There aren’t any expectations right now for this Spartan team – it really can come into this with the “nobody believes in us” attitude.

Okay, so what is Michigan State doing right?

The offensive line is doing a good job at keeping the backfield relatively clean.

There isn’t enough happening for the running game, but the pass protection has been terrific, and teams aren’t able to make big plays behind the line. There really is enough offensive talent to do a whole lot more, and this is the game to start taking a few more chances.

The defensive side might have been ripped apart by the Ohio State and Wisconsin running games, but overall the run defense has been fantastic. Michigan might have found its rushing attack over the last few weeks, but it’s been inconsistent. This is the game for the Spartan defensive front to take control.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Michigan Will Win

The Michigan State passing game has become a major issue.

It went for over 250 yards against Illinois, but Brian Lewerke’s three interceptions were a big part of the loss. Before that, he failed to hit half of his passes in the losses to Penn State and Wisconsin, and he hasn’t connected on 60% of his throws in any of his last six games – all the Big Ten battles. This isn’t the week the passing game is going to get healthy.

The Wolverines have clamped down defensively ever since halftime against Penn State, the secondary is keeping the big plays to a minimum – it’s allowing fewer than six yards per attempt – and the run defense hasn’t allowed more than 130 yards since the blowout loss to Wisconsin six games ago.

The key will be to get up right away. This isn’t a Michigan State team that appears to be capable of making anything positive happen in key moments, and it’s not able to generate any sort of a big comeback.

After all the issues over the last month, Michigan State needs some semblance of positive momentum go its way. That’s going to be hard because …

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

This is a rested Michigan team that’s playing at a high level over the last ten quarters.

When it comes to Jim Harbaugh not being able to win a big game, this is certainly one of them. Michigan State might not be all that great, but this is one of those games you can’t lose if you’re the Spartan head man.

He won’t.

MSU will come out fired up, but the offense will stall too often early on to take advantage of anything positive.

Wisconsin (7-2) vs. Nebraska (4-5) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Wisconsin Will Win

Jonathan Taylor continues to be Jonathan Taylor.

He was held in check at times over the previous few weeks, and then he ripped apart a brick wall of an Iowa defense for a season-high 250 yards on 31 carries. The team leaned on its star, and he came up large.

Nebraska’s run defense isn’t miserable, but when teams try to pound away, they don’t have any sort of a problem – Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio State combined for over 900 yards on the ground – and Wisconsin will be more than happy to blast away from the start.

There’s a chance Nebraska never has the ball.

The Huskers try to move with a good tempo and great pace, and they also stall too often and get off the field right away. They’re 113th in the nation in time of possession – keeping the ball for just over 27 minutes per game.

Wisconsin is No. 1 in the nation in time of possession, keeping it for almost 37 minutes per outing. But …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Nebraska Will Win

Wisconsin had the ball for over 41 minutes against Illinois, and lost.

The Badger defense might be incredible overall, but it allowed more than 100 rushing yards or more twice – and lost both games.

Nebraska ran for 98 yards against South Alabama in the opener, and ripped off 128 yards or more against everyone else.

Wisconsin has been a killer at home, but lost on the road to Illinois and Ohio State in two of its last three games, and it struggled to put away Iowa at home last week.

It’s possible to hit the Badger secondary with big plays. Iowa got back into the game through the air, Michigan bombed away a bit in its loss, and when Ohio State tried to throw, it didn’t have a problem.

The Nebraska offense might not be steady, but the passing game has been working just fine lately. Expect a few home runs hit by Adrian Martinez, but …

[lawrence-related id=498866]

What’s Going To Happen

How good has Jonathan Taylor been against Nebraska? In two games, he’s been able to crank out 470 yards and five touchdowns.

The Wisconsin defense will have a few meltdowns against a Nebraska offense that has just enough pop to be a wee bit of a concern, but Taylor will go off, and QB Jack Coan will hit third down throw after third down throw.

Indiana (7-2) vs. Penn State (8-1) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why Indiana Will Win

Indiana has the offense to not only keep up with the Penn State offense, but to all but duplicate what Minnesota was able to do.

It’ll be asking too much for IU QB Peyton Ramsey to complete 18-of-20 passes for 339 yards and three touchdowns like Tanner Morgan did last weekend in Minneapolis, but … it’s actually not. Ramsey is hitting 72% of his throws and averaging over eight yards per attempt.

The Hoosiers won’t be afraid to take their shots down the field and take a few chances – when they have to.

The offense is fantastic at controlling the clock, the offensive line has held up well against the better pass rushes, and the defense has quietly been doing its part allowing 310 yards per game.

As good and as effective as Penn State might be, its offense isn’t built to go off and put 45 on the board. This should stay in range all game long for IU to have a shot deep into the second half.

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Penn State Will Win

The running game is a big part of what makes Indiana go.

It’s not Wisconsin when it comes to pounding away, but it’s just effective enough to make defenses worry a wee bit, running for eight touchdowns over its last three games.

Of course, there were plenty of issues and problems against Ohio State besides just the lack of a ground game, but so far IU is 7-0 when running for 100 yards or more, and 0-2 – Michigan State being the other loss – when it doesn’t.

Penn State has allowed 100 rushing yards or more just three times and it’s giving up a mere two yards per carry.

On the other side, QB Sean Clifford has to build on his big-yard day against Minnesota – throwing for 340 yards as he did a wonderful job of keeping things moving – but after throwing three picks all year, he gave up three including the game-sealer. The Indiana secondary is solid, but it’s only been able to come up with three interceptions on the season and just one in the last five games.

[lawrence-related id=498866]

What’s Going To Happen

Indiana is going to provide a whole lot more of a fight than Penn State might like.

The Hoosiers will move the ball well, but they’ll struggle to close off drives with points. The running game won’t work, there will be a few red zone misfires, and the Nittany Lions will be able to pull away after after the offense hits two second half home runs to get past the doldrums from Minneapolis.

South Carolina (4-6) vs. Texas &M (6-3) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why South Carolina Will Win

It’s desperation time for the Gamecocks.

The team has been able to play just well enough at times to shock Georgia, provide a push to Florida, and roll past Kentucky – let’s just look past the issues against the Tennessees and Appalachian States of the world, for now – with a decent enough defense to keep games close.

The pass rush isn’t consistent, but the line is just good enough to be a problem for the Aggie backfield.

Texas A&M plays a style that helps the Gamecocks. This isn’t some high-flying up-tempo team that can turn the lights out in three drives. A&M is methodical, cares about moving the chains and time of possession, and manages to to do just enough to keep both teams in the game.

A&M won, but it struggled against Arkansas and Ole Miss, with a rushing offense that’s just okay and without a whole lot of downfield pop to the passing game. The O line hasn’t been awful, but it’s beatable in pass protection.

South Carolina should have its opportunities in the second half – A&M won’t run away with this game. But …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Texas A&M Will Win

South Carolina really doesn’t have a downfall passing game.

Ryan Hilinski has been excellent, and he’s thrown for 300 yards in two of the last three games, but he has only thrown more than one touchdown pass in one of the last seven games, and the team is averaging just 6.1 yards per pass.

There’s no enough explosion, and the running game isn’t doing enough to take over when the big plays aren’t there. The biggest problem with the O is the lack of third down conversions, and it all flows from there.

The offense doesn’t have the big plays, it sets itself up in too many third-and-long plays, and it’s only converting on 34% of its chances. That ties into the time of possession problems for a team that’s keeping the ball for only 28 minutes per game.

The Aggies have started rolling offensively a bit more lately, but this week, all they have to do is what they do – control the clock, play at their tempo, and have the ball for over 35 minutes.

Score a little bit early, and South Carolina won’t be able to keep up as long as the Aggies don’t start tuning the ball over.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

A&M has been ignored because of its 6-3 record, but who are those losses to?

CFP No. 3 Clemson, No. 4 Alabama, and No. 13 Auburn. It’s been able to handle the teams that aren’t among the season’s elite.

It’ll be a relatively low-scoring game with both teams keeping things relatively conservative, but Texas A&M does this a whole lot better. The Gamecock offense will barely hit the 300-yard mark.

LSU (9-0) vs. Ole Miss (4-6) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

Why LSU Will Win

Ole Miss has the SEC’s worst pass defense.

Thanks for playing.

The Rebels were able to hold up a wee bit lately against Texas A&M and New Mexico State, but they gave up 340 yards to Bo Nix in the loss to Auburn, were hammered by Cal for 373 yards – two passing games that shouldn’t be hitting for 300 yards against anyone – and have allowed 300 yards or more in six of the last nine games.

The Joe Burrow machine just doesn’t stop, throwing for 275 yards or more in every game, 320 yards or more in seven games, and he keeps getting better and better. He’s getting time, he’s connecting on 79% of his passes, and the production is relentless.

The consistent scoring forces offenses to press, it makes them scramble, and it forces them to start bombing away, and that’s not what Ole Miss does. However …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Ole Miss Will Win

The Ole Miss running game might just be the antidote to what LSU is doing.

The Tigers are acting a bit like they’ve already won it all. The Alabama win was amazing, but the celebration was a wee bit over the top considering there’s still – most likely – an SEC Championship to play, and it’s quite possible the Tide and Tigers could meet again in the College Football Playoff.

The team might been for a massive letdown, and that’s the type of thing that could get hammered home against a Rich Rodriguez offense.

The Ole Miss offensive coordinator has the running game rocking. QB John Rhys Plumlee has made massive difference for a ground attack that’s rushed for 200 yards or more in five of the last six games.

The passing game might not be there to keep up the pace, but LSU’s run defense hasn’t dealt with anything like this attack. It struggled when powered on by Najee Harris last week in Tuscaloosa, and now it’s about to deal with the speed and precision of the Rebel O.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Don’t be stunned if Ole Miss keeps this interesting for more than a half.

The Rebel running game isn’t exactly a curveball, but it’s just effective enough to potentially rip off yards and plays in chunks to counterbalance the LSU offense.

But in the end, the Ole Miss secondary is going to be ripped to shreds.

Burrow will continue to be Burrow, will hit home run after home run against the miserable pass defense, and the No. 1 team will take one step closer to the SEC Championship.

What’s Going To Happen

The MAC West is already muddled, and it was made more so with Western Michigan’s thrilling win over Ohio on Tuesday night.

Northern Illinois is out of the MAC title chase with a loss, and it’s ensured of a losing season if it drops this. Win, and it has to get by Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan to hope for a swag bag trip.

Toledo has had a rocky year, but it beat Western Michigan and still has Central Michigan to deal with. It’s the Rockets’ last home game of the season,  and it’s going to be a balmy 25 degrees at game time.

Toledo’s running game has to own this game from the start.

The league’s best ground attack already has a 1,052-yard, ten-touchdown year out of Bryant Koback, helping to lead the way for an O that’s rushed for over 500 yards in the last two weeks. He’s banged up, but there are plenty of other options – Toledo is 6-0 when running for 190 yards or more, and 0-3 when rushing for fewer.

The Northern Illinois run defense isn’t all that bad, but the team is 0-4 when it gives up 190 yards or more.

It’s about to give up 190 yards or more.

The Huskie defensive front doesn’t get behind the line and doesn’t generate enough of a pass rush to be disruptive. NIU can move the ball, but it’s not consistent enough to come through late to pull this off on the road.

Bowling Green (3-6) vs. Miami University (5-4) Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

And now it’s all there for the taking for Miami.

Thanks to its win over Ohio last week, and with wins over Buffalo and Kent State, MU will be the 2019 MAC East champion with a win over a Bowling Green team that needs this to become bowl eligible.

And, by the way, as a cherry on top, the RedHawks can get to six wins and be bowl eligible with a win, too.

The Falcons were good enough to shock Toledo, and they won their free-space game last week against Akron, but they have to win out to get to six wins.

On a three-game winning streak, MU doesn’t do much of anything on offense, it doesn’t have a passing game, and it doesn’t do much to control the clock. So how is it winning? The defensive line lives behind the line and the secondary is great at locking down against mediocre offenses.

Bowling Green doesn’t do enough through the air to make MU worry, and the running game isn’t good enough to take over.

Miami was going to be cranked up before to win this game, and now that it has its goals available, it’ll play at another level – even if it’s not scintillating.

Bowling Green has been obliterated by a combined score of 215-17 in its four road games. Miami doesn’t have the offense to come up with a wipeout, but it’ll win easily.
