TGIS Game of the Week
#11 Tennessee at Florida UNDER 58 – 6pm
I have not been sold on Joe Milton and the Tennessee offense this year. Meanwhile, Florida struggles to have any offensive success. LOW scoring game.
Prediction: Tennessee 24 – Florida 20
Top Picks of the Week (All Times Central)
Georgia Southern +20 at Wisconsin – 11am
Georgia Southern QB and TGIS supporter Davis Brin finished last week 38-47 for 318 yards and 2 TDs as the Eagles offense put up 49 points. Meanwhile Tanner Mordecai and the Badgers offense have looked real average. Way too many points in what I think could be a close game. Might even sprinkle a little on the +700.
Colorado State at #18 Colorado OVER 60.5– 11am
I told you last week I did not believe in Colorado’s defense. While they could stop Nebraska (just like anybody), I still have my doubts. Meanwhile Deion is going to try to run up the score and stats for his QB and son Shaddeur Sanders.
Minnesota at #20 North Carolina -7 – 11am
The Golden Gophers secondary has not been challenged… that changes when Drake Maye plays against them. The Tar Heels will score points, while I see Minnesota to struggle much at all. Tar Heels big.
Vanderbilt -4.5 at UNLV – 11am
Vanderbilt less than a TD favorite seems disrespectful. Vandy still has talent, especially at WR, to make UNLV pay. Vandy by double digits.
#14 LSU at Mississippi State +9.5 – 11am
Too many points in Starkville. The Bulldogs are going to bring LSU down into the mud with them in a close game that I see LSU ending up with the win.
#10 Alabama -32 at South Florida – 2:30pm
Alabama still has a QB competition that is not settled. Expect Bama to work all three during the game and be aggressive to see which one is the guy. That means lots of points.
#8 Washington -16 at Michigan State – 4pm
The Spartans are a mess and the Huskies are blowing out everyone. Don’t overthink it.
BYU +8 at Arkansas – 6:30pm
I liked it better when BYU was a 10 point favorite, but 8 points will do. BYU won the game outright last year. In a low scoring battle, give me the points.
Bowling Green at #2 Michigan UNDER 53 – 6:30pm
Michigan has been playing at a super slow pace in its first two games, treating them like scrimmages against inferior teams. That happens again, under 53 points all day. I see the final score something like… 38-3.
TCU -7 at Houston – 7pm
Houston just lost to Rice (or as College Football Analyst Josh Pate calls “food”). TCU is going to want to show up after losing on the national stage against Colorado. TCU by double digits.
