Navy (7-1) vs. Notre Dame (7-2) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Will Notre Dame be able to sell-out at the last moment to keep the 273-game streak that goes back to 1973 alive?

It needs to, considering these are two top 23 teams according to the College Football Playoff committee.

Start with this – can Notre Dame slow down the run?

It got hammered on by Michigan for over 300 rushing yards, but that was more about a power game in bad weather. Navy isn’t going to blast away. Other than that, the Irish run defense has been a rock after tightening up over the first few weeks. The line is doing a better job at getting into the backfield, and the linebacking corps is in place to clamp down on the outside when Malcolm Perry gets going.

The running back-who-plays-quarterback is past the 1,000-yard mark with five straight 100-yard games. He’s also hitting the deep ball, averaging close to 24 yards per completion when he’s able to catch defenses cheating up.

The Navy running game is working at the highest level, but the Irish aren’t going to get popped in the interior, and expect several plays behind the line to force enough long third down plays to be a problem.

Ian Book and the Notre Dame offense will be more methodical than spectacular, but he’ll be just sharp enough and accurate enough to keep the Perry and company on the sidelines a bit. Navy will still dominate the time of possession battle, and it’ll push the Irish hard, but Book and the O will take over the fourth quarter with a few late scores to pull away and survive.

10 Best ATS Picks So Far: 58-55

Click on each game for the game preview and fearless prediction.

Enough safe and sane. It’s time to go against conventional wisdom, blow past everything we know to be dear and true, and make picks based on hardened theories that have worked well before and will now be applied in real time.

What does that all mean?

Welcome to Reckless and Irresponsible Week. They’re the picks you probably shouldn’t make, and in your heart of hearts, can’t make. But at the end of the day, these are will likely be the right ways to go. You’ll see in a moment.

And the ten games that appear to be a wee bit favorable are …

10. Ohio State at Rutgers

LINE: Ohio State -53
Live Stream: fuboTV (click to watch for free)
ATS PICK: Rutgers
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

We’re going to kick this whole thing off with two hopelessly irresponsible picks – because conflicting predictions and conclusions are exactly what you’re looking for in a Ten Best Picks Against the Spread piece.

The official, more mature prediction in the Ohio State vs. Rutgers Game Preview is different. Of course Ohio State could win this by 54, or 84, or 104 if it wants to. But for anyone familiar with the tried-and-true method with the predictions over the years in this piece – and it worked when New Mexico State visited Alabama, and when UConn went to UCF, among other games – if someone wants to give 50 points or more, you take them, and you don’t ask questions.

Rutgers is going to get up on Saturday morning up 53-0 against Ohio State.

Too many things can go wrong for the Buckeyes not to get there. They have bigger fish to fry, so they might get up 48-0 at halftime, sit everyone, and stall the rest of the game. Rutgers could get a fluky touchdown. Ohio State could be unfocused for a quarter. There could be a lightning strike, a plague of locusts … it’s HARD to win a game by more than 53 points.

Ohio State could totally and completely wipe out the Scarlet Knights and win 55-3.

With all of that in mind, Irresponsible Pick No. 2 …

[lawrence-related id=500213]

9. UMass at Northwestern

LINE: Northwestern -41.5
Live Stream: fuboTV (click to watch for free)
ATS PICK: UMass
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

There’s one massive difference between this game and the Ohio State-Rutgers game. Northwestern might not be nice, because this is the only time all year the O is going have a little fun.

Northwestern has scored a grand total of 63 points since hanging 30 on UNLV in mid-September, and now you’re asking it to win a game by 42?

UMass has allowed 56 points or more over the last four games to teams like Liberty and UConn, and lost to FIU 44-0. Again, take this with a HUGE grain of salt, because this is more about the Minutemen getting off the bus up 41-0 than what the real pick and prediction is for this week,

If this helps, UMass started out the season losing to Rutgers 48-21.

Part Three of this theme, but not quite as much …

[lawrence-related id=499899]

8. Wake Forest at Clemson

LINE: Clemson -34.5
Live Stream: fuboTV (click to watch for free)
ATS PICK: Wake Forest
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Pick against Clemson right now at your own peril, and Wake Forest is coming off a 36-17 loss to Virginia Tech, but there’s just enough offense on the field to at least make this a wee bit closer than the big number.

It’s hardly a plus that top Demon Deacon WR Sage Surratt is done for the year, and Clemson is hanging up 55 on the board without breaking a sweat, but it can win this in a total wipeout and not get to the 35.

The Tigers might have won each of their last four games by well over 35 points each, but the Demon Deacons are just good enough to score a few late points. Clemson will win in an ugly blowout on Senior Day, but in the final Irresponsible Pick of the Week, the team with the nation’s 13th-best offense is already up 34.5-0.

Oh what the heck, let’s just stay Irresponsible and keep the theme going …

[lawrence-related id=500342]

7. Central Michigan at Ball State

LINE: Ball State -2
Live Stream: fuboTV (click to watch for free)
ATS PICK: Ball State
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

What’s the most reckless way to make a pick? Spite.

Never, ever, ever, ever, chase, and that’s sort of what this pick is.

Who else had Buffalo -5.5 against Kent State?

It took an all-timer of a collapse – Kent State was 0-for-its-last-60 when down 21 points or more – in the fourth quarter to ruin that.

Throw in Toledo’s inexplicable home clunker to Northern Illinois, and Western Michigan coming through on the road in overtime against Ohio, and MACtion owes us.

So the final MAC game of the week is on here, only because we’re due for some puck luck.

Ball State has lost two straight, but Central Michigan isn’t strong on the road – 1-4 with the lone win coming against a bad Bowling Green team. The Chippewas are great overall against the run, but they’re 0-3 when allowing more than 125 rushing yards. NC State and Indiana are the only two teams to hold the Cardinals to under 150.

[lawrence-related id=500133]

6. Florida at Missouri

LINE: Florida -6.5
Live Stream: fuboTV (click to watch for free)
ATS PICK: Florida
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

It worked just fine putting Florida here last week against Vanderbilt – covering the 26.5 with ease in a 56-0 rout – so let’s not mess with it.

Kelly Bryant is back at quarterback for Mizzou, but he’s less than 100%. There’s some fear that the cold of Columbia could be an issue for the Gainesville guys, but the defense should be just fine against a Tiger O that’s having massive problems scoring. It put up 21 points over the last three games against Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Georgia.

This feels a bit like a trap, but Mizzou has yet to beat at team this year that will go bowling, and the one good team it played – Georgia – just pitched a shutout. If Florida really is the No. 11 team in college football, it wins this in a walk.

Fresno State (4-5) vs. San Diego State (7-2) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

There’s a whole lot that has to be sorted out in the Mountain West’s West division.

San Diego State can’t clinch the division this weekend since Nevada – who pulled off a 17-13 stunner in San Diego last week – doesn’t play again until next week. but a win sets things up for a showdown at Hawaii.

Fresno State – thanks to a win over the Rainbow Warriors – can take the West by winning out, getting Nevada next week and closing at San Jose State.

First, the Bulldogs have to figure out how to score on the Aztecs.

San Diego State will give up 17 points, because that’s what it does. In the last three games, it won twice by giving up that many, and lost to Nevada 17-13.

The D is devastating against the run, the offense controls the clock by slowing things down to a dead stop, and the formula keeps on working. But it also keeps both teams in the game.

Fresno State needs its ground attack to work, and that’s not going to happen.

SDSU will have the ball for about 35 minutes, Fresno State won’t generate nearly enough pressure to be a bother, and it’ll be yet another slow-and-go win for a team that doesn’t make the big mistakes and knows its limitations.

Louisiana Tech (8-1) vs. Marshall (6-3) Game Preview

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

What’s Going To Happen

Nothing can be decided quite yet in the Conference USA race, but no matter how this turns out, there’s a chance it could be a preview of the championship game.

Louisiana Tech is on an eight-game winning streak including a victory over Southern Miss. If it wins this and Southern Miss loses to UTSA, the Bulldogs can clinch the West next week at UAB.

If they lose, though, and UAB beats UTEP, the division race gets really, really interesting next week.

Marshall has upper-hand in he East with wins over WKU and Florida Atlantic. On a four-game winning streak, it can’t clinch this weekend – FAU is off until next week – but it can be knocking on the door.

Louisiana Tech’s offense has turned unstoppable. There was the “it hasn’t played anyone” problem for most of the year, but it rocked a good USM team, and last week took out North Texas 52-17.

The offensive line is playing at a high level, the defense is fantastic at taking the ball away, and senior QB J’Mar Smith is on a tear, throwing for 210 yards or more in every game with 14 touchdowns and just three picks.

But now he has to deal with the Marshall pass rush and one of the league’s better defenses.

The Herd might not have Tech’s offensive attack, but the secondary has tightened up over the second half of the year allowing just three touchdowns and winning despite a 362-yard passing day from FAU’s Chris Robison and a huge performance from WKU’s Ty Storey.

How is MU getting it done?

Three takeaways saved the day against WKU, and 254 rushing yards got the job done against FAU.

Louisiana Tech hasn’t allowed more than 190 yards rushing against any FBS team, is giving up a mere 3.7 yards per carry, and it’s a +6 in turnover margin over the last three games and have been a +7 overall since the loss to Texas.

At home, the Marshall pass rush will do just enough to bother Smith, and there won’t be the giveaways that the Bulldogs have been living on. Tech won’t go off, but it’ll have just enough offense to pull off the big road win.

USC (6-4) vs. Cal (5-4) Game Preview

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

Why USC Will Win

Yeah, Cal might have showed up large against Washington State in a 33-20 win last week, but the USC defense is a different animal to deal with. It’s not a killer, and it’s not Utah’s, but it’s better than Wazzu’s.

Before last week’s performance, the Bears went four straight games without coming up with 300 total yards, and it was the first time all season the O scored more than 28 points.

USC’s defensive front hasn’t allowed more than 200 rushing yards in the last four games and has stiffened up a bit since getting hammered by Notre Dame.

Cal’s running game doesn’t have the offensive front to generate a consistent push, and the passing attack isn’t strong enough to take advantage of a leaky Trojan secondary.

USC has to get up early. The Cal defense might be fantastic, but it’s possible to throw on this group. Washington State went Washington State for over 400 yards through the air on a defense that’s allowed 200 passing yards or more five times in seven games. USC’s Kedon Slovis should be able to throw for enough to keep things moving, but …

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

Why Cal Will Win

It that going to be the Devon Modster that showed up against the Cougars?

The Bear quarterback struggled after taking over for an injured Chase Garbers, missed the Utah game hurt, and came out roaring in the win with a 230-yard, three-touchdown day with 32 yards and a touchdown. For an offense that’s needed a sign of life, he was it.

Or, could Garbers really be back?

He’s practicing and might be able to give it a go. Either way, the Bears have quarterbacks they can rely on.  All they have to do is be good, and hope the D is great.

It’s been a bit of a rocky run over the last few weeks having to deal with Oregon, Utah and Washington State, but the Cal defense has still been good enough to keep the team in the tough games. It got smacked by Utah, but only gave up 17 points to Oregon and only allowed more than 24 points once all year – the 35-0 loss to the Utes.

Led by soon-to-be all-everything LB Evan Weaver, the defensive front has been fantastic against the run all season long, and there should be just enough plays behind the line to keep USC from being comfortable.

Cal will bring a steady pass rush all game long, and expect next to nothing from a middling Trojan ground attack.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

USC isn’t the same team on the road. It’s been better lately – it got wins over Colorado and Arizona State – but both recent games have been battles.

It’s Cal’s final home game of the year – it goes down the road to face Stanford next week – and it needs one more win to get bowl eligible. The defense will crank up the intensity enough to keep it close, but the offense won’t be able to come through in the fourth quarter when it has its opportunities.

UCLA (4-5) vs. Utah (8-1) Game Preview

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

Why UCLA Will Win

Joshua Kelley is running as well as any back in the country over the last few weeks.

He has rushed for 100 yards or more in four of the last five games, and has all but carried the team for stretches in the last three outings with 466 yards and seven scores. Now he has to go against the devastating Utah defensive front that’s going to focus all attention on No. 27.

And that’s where Dorian Thompson-Robinson has to come through.

The sophomore doesn’t have to be Joe Burrow, but he’s coming off a brilliant day in the win over Colorado a few weeks ago – hitting 75% of his throws for 226 yards and two scores – to make it his third straight game with multiple touchdown passes.

The Utah defense might be brilliant, but it gave up 316 yards and four scores to Washington’s Jacob Eason two weeks ago, and has been hit for 200 yards or more through the air against five of the eight Power Five teams on the slate.

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

Why Utah Will Win

The UCLA defense has been better over the second half of the season, but the secondary still isn’t making enough big things happen.

The interception against Colorado was the first one from the Bruins in the last five games – this group just doesn’t take the ball away enough. That works just fine with Utah’s Tyler Huntley, who just doesn’t give the ball away.

RB Zack Moss and the tough Utah running game might be the heart-and-soul of the attack, but Huntley has been brilliant at cranking up the explosive plays without screwing up.

He’s averaging close to 11 yards per pass, is hitting 74% of his throws, and has pitched just one interception on the season.

And then there’s Moss and what he does against UCLA.

He only got a few carries as a freshman, but he ripped through the Bruins for 153 yards and two scores in a 48-17 win as a sophomore, and he came up with a career-high 211-yard, three-score day in last year’s 41-10 win.

The Ute O should be balanced, and …

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Oh yeah, the Utah defense.

It might have had a few issues with Washington a few weeks ago, but it’s third in the nation overall, has the defensive front to stuff Kelley. This is national muscle-flexing time for a Utah team looking to make a big statement to the College Football Playoff committee.

UCLA can still go bowling with wins over USC and Cal, but this week it’s about to run into a team that’s just that good.

Oregon (8-1) vs. Arizona (4-5) Game Preview

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

Why Arizona Will Win

Oregon’s defense suddenly looks very, very beatable.

It’s got the talent, and it has the athleticism, but after holding five straight teams to seven points or fewer – following the great overall defensive performance in the 27-21 loss to Auburn – there’s been a big problem.

The run defense has been okay – no one’s been able to get consistently generate any sort of a push up front – but the pass defense is getting hit hard.

That’s what happens when you play the better quarterbacks.

Jacob Eason hit 77% of his passes with big play after big play in Washington’s loss to the Ducks. Washington State went Washington State for over 400 yards and over eight yards per throw, and USC  two weeks ago went for three scores as the Kedon Slovis and his dangerous receiving corps were able to throw for 264 yards – the third-most UO allowed this year.

Arizona is splitting time between freshman Grant Gunnell and veteran Khalil Tate, and they’re combining to put up big plays for a passing game that’s averaging 300 yards per game.

The Wildcats have the offense to bomb away from the start, but …

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

Why Oregon Will Win

The Oregon secondary is making up for the big yards it’s allowing with lots and lots and lots of interceptions.

Colorado was able to move the ball a bit and get in range to make things interesting in Eugene, but the Ducks came up with four picks in the 45-3 rout.

Yeah, Anthony Gordon and Washington State went off and almost pulled off the upset, but two interceptions – with one going for a score – ended up being an issue.

Last week against Slovis and those great Trojan receivers? Oregon picked off three passes with one going for a touchdown.

Interceptions haven’t been a massive issue for Arizona, but he’s had three multiple pick games. But that’s just one side of the ball. The other is having a nightmare of a time coming up with any meaningful stops.

Arizona has allowed over 400 yards of total offense in every game, and isn’t doing any one thing particularly right.

The Oregon offense can – and will – move the ball however it wants to.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

It’s been a wee bit of a grind at times over the last few weeks for Oregon, but it’s finding ways to win, and it’s about to crank up the offense.

The Wildcats have enough firepower to put up a few points, but the defense isn’t stopping anyone or anything. This isn’t normally a Duck offense that hangs big numbers on the board, but as long as it’s focused after two weeks off, it’ll score 50 getting off the bus.

Arizona State (5-4) vs. Oregon State (4-5) Game Preview

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

Why Arizona State Will Win

The offense is expected to get its guy back with QB Jayden Daniels likely to go after missing the USC game. Now it needs its running back to go off.

Eno Benjamin hasn’t found a whole lot of room for a running game that’s hit the skids. A fantastic goal line runner, he hasn’t rushed for a touchdown in the last three games, and he’s had just 98 yards over the last two games after three straight 100-yard performances.

The Oregon State run defense can be hammered on – allowing 245 yards or more in three of the last five games – and controlling the tempo and the clock is a must. The Sun Devil defense has been getting worse as the season has gone on, and it needs Benjamin and company to keep the chains moving, and it has to come up with a few key takeaways on the road.

ASU is second in the Pac-12 in turnover margin – helped by 16 takeaways – and Oregon State doesn’t force mistakes. The Beavers need to get this into a little bit of a shootout, because …

Why Oregon State Will Win

The Arizona State secondary is having a few problems.

After starting the season allowing just seven points in each of the first three games – and surviving a few big passing days – the Sun Devils have been hit way too hard by the better quarterbacks on the slate.

They lost in a shootout to Steven Montez and Colorado – giving up 337 yards through the air – and were expectedly hit hard by Washington State. The 477 yards and four scores allowed last week to USC was a problem, and letting UCLA’s Doran Thompson-Robinson to to hit close to 70% of his passes wasn’t okay.

Luton had a rough day against Washington – throwing for 88 yards in the loss – but when he’s on and the deep ball is working, Oregon State wins.

The Beavers are 3-0 when Luton averages 11 yards or more per past, and 1-5 when he doesn’t. Arizona State is 0-4 – all four losses – when it has allowed eight yards or more per pass.

What’s Going To Happen

Oregon State has been been great on the road lately and awful at home. Playing Utah and Washington in Corvallis has been part of the reason.

The Beaver offense will generate just enough balance and downfield plays to keep the struggling ASU defense on its heels. Neither team does much to control the clock, and at home, the Beaver O will have just a bit more of a spark in what should be a fun game with a whole slew of wild mood swings.

Why Stanford Will Win

The Cardinal pass defense has been able to hold up just fine despite all the problems in a slew of other spots.

Arizona was able to move the ball through the air – and Stanford won.

Oregon State and Jake Luton were able to throw for 337 yards – and Stanford won.

The problem for the Cardinal is when passing games roll for big plays, not necessarily bulk yards. They’re 0-3 when allowing ten yards or more per pass, and Washington State is averaging 8.2 yards per throw and hasn’t thrown for more than ten yards per pop since the first two games and hasn’t been over eight yards per throw in the last five.

Stanford will let Anthony Gordon dink and dunk as long as it limits the yards after catch.

Washington State’s pass defense isn’t doing a whole lot, but the run defense has been worse. Stanford’s offense has been ultra-flaky, but the return of QB KJ Costello has cranked up the inconsistent passing game over the last two weeks. However …

Why Washington State Will Win

Stanford has way too hard a time scoring.

It was able to light up Arizona, and the running game has been able to averaged five-plus yards per carry over the last two games, but the team isn’t turning yards into points.

The Cardinal have only scored more than 20 points four times, and it’s been a battle just to get there a few touchdowns.

Wazzu might have a whole lot of problems defensively, and the run defense is about to get tested, but Gordon and the offense should be able to move the chains and put up the yards to make Stanford press.

Utah was able to stuff the Washington State offense, but that’s a potential Pac-12 champion that pulled it off. Cal was able to hold the Cougars to 20 points, but that’s an elite defense getting it done on the road.

At home, Wazzu’s offense is averaging was over 50 points per game. Stanford can’t keep up any sort of a pace. However …

What’s Going To Happen

This has to be Cameron Scarlett’s game. The Stanford running back has quietly have a strong year with five games with 90+ yards and with two games of 100+ yards in the last four.

The Cardinal will run well enough to control the clock and the game, KJ Costello will have another strong performance, and it’ll be a huge road win for a team that needs it to stay alive in the hunt for a bowl game.

Virginia Tech (6-3) vs. Georgia Tech (2-7) Game Preview

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

Why Virginia Tech Will Win

The Hokies are finding ways to win.

They’re not consistent enough defensively, but they’re getting the job done offensively and the D has clamped down in three of the last four games.

Now everything is on the table. Win the last three games against Georgia Tech, Pitt and at Virginia, and it’s off to the ACC Championship.

There’s no reason to work too hard on this – start running, and keep running.

The Hokies have hit the 220-yard mark in three of the last four games with a good rotation of backs to go along with whoever is under center.

The Georgia Tech run defense has been a wee bit better after getting hammered early, but it’s still allowing over four yards per carry and 150 yards or more in every game but the early win over USF.

Back in the mix after missing the Notre Dame game, freshman QB Hendon Hooker is the playmaker who’s making it all go. He’s not making mistakes, and he’s running well enough to tear off yards in chunks against this defensive front.

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

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

The record isn’t great, but the Yellow Jackets really are playing a whole lot better. They beat Miami, and they pushed Pitt and Virginia over the last few weeks.

Finally, the passing game is starting to kick it in. James Graham is coming off a 229-yard, two-score day in the loss to Virginia. Now he gets to go against a leaky Hokie secondary that’s picking off a lot of passes, but is allowing over 300 yards a game with 14 touchdowns in the last five games.

He doesn’t have to go off, but as long as he’s merely okay, and if the offense can catch a few breaks on takeaways, the Yellow Jackets should be in the game.

There haven’t been a whole lot of big plays coming from the defense, but Virginia Tech has fumbling problems and is next-to-last in the ACC in giveaways.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Will Virginia Tech be on letdown alert with the big games coming up with Coastal title implications? Georgia Tech – at home – is doing just enough to hang around, but the offense isn’t good enough to put together a full four quarters to pull this off.

Just when it seems like the game is about to slip away for the Hokies, they’ll get two second half scoring drives to survive and advance. The Yellow Jackets won’t have an answer.
