It is possible that LSU could go from winning the national championship with a 15-0 season to a sub-.500 season in just one year? If you look at how their SEC schedule unfolds, a 4-6 finish is a real possibility. They’re idle this week but face Alabama in Week 11. This weekend also brings us the debut of the Pac-12, with a seven-week regular season. We already see that the Big 12 will not likely have a College Football Playoff team, after Oklahoma State turned the ball over four times against Texas in an overtime loss, opening the door for Cincinnati, out of the AAC, to enter the playoff conversation.
Take a look at our top straight up college football betting picks for NFL Week 10.
NCAA News: Top SU Picks for Week 10
Friday, November 6
Miami (FL) (-9.5) at North Carolina State
The Wolfpack just got blown out by North Carolina, and things don’t get much easier with Miami coming to town. However, the Hurricane offense has struggled to move the ball the last few weeks, and N.C. State should show a little more gumption after the embarrassment in Week 9. Even so, in a straight up pick, I like Miami to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
#9 BYU (-3) at #21 Boise State
This game is both teams’ opportunity to state their case for inclusion in a New Year’s Six bowl game. Boise State won last week despite having backup quarterback Jack Sears at the helm — and Sears went off to throw three touchdown passes. BYU beat Boise at home last year, 28-25. This year? I like Boise to pull off the upset. Boise State to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
Saturday, November 7
#18 SMU (-17.5) at Temple
This game was moved from Thursday to Saturday due to COVID-19 cases on the Temple roster. The line keeps getting bigger, likely because people don’t realize that SMU doesn’t play all that well on the road, and their defense plays hard in fits and spurts. They dominated Navy during the second and third quarters but took the first and fourth off. Navy scored 14 in the first quarter and 23 in the fourth, but luckily for Mustang fans, SMU had scored 51. Now they visit Temple, who has had multiple games canceled due to COVID-19. I’m not sure SMU can cover a 17-point spread against anyone, but straight up? SMU to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
#23 Michigan (-3) at #13 Indiana
Indiana last beat Michigan in 1987. However, Michigan hosted Michigan State as a 21 ½-point favorite last week — and not only lost, but never led. Two of the last three games between the Wolverines and the Hoosiers in Bloomington have had a margin of less than one score. The Hoosiers have a dangerous quarterback in Michael Penix Jr. Indiana to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
West Virginia (+7.5) at #22 Texas
Both of these teams could make it into the Big 12 Championship. These teams have gotten into barnburners the last few years, but West Virginia has a more conservative approach this year after the departure of offense-first head coach Dana Holgorsen for Houston. Texas will have a big head after beating Oklahoma State last week. West Virginia to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
#9 Georgia (-5) vs #8 Florida (in Jacksonville, FL)
Florida has four touchdown passes or more from Kyle Trask in each of the Gators’ games this season. However, Georgia has a shutdown defense and likes to play at a crawl. Bulldogs to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
Houston (+11) at #6 Cincinnati
Can Dana Holgorsen solve that ironclad Cincinnati defense that shut down SMU and Memphis? Can Houston’s iffy defense slow down the Bearcat running game? Bearcats to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
#14 Oklahoma State (-10) at Kansas State
This rivalry usually plays very close, within a touchdown, so this is a huge spread. Oklahoma State will either be angry and take the Wildcats to the woodshed or will come out low in energy after that loss to Texas. It’s on the road, so I’m going with Option B. Wildcats to win. | Bet on the Game Now!
