TGIS Game of the Week

#7 Penn State at #3 Ohio State – 11am

The line is Penn State +5 and the over under is set at 45.5 and I have absolutely zero plays on this game. The line is exactly how I see this game playing out. A close-low scoring game where I see home field coming to play here. Both offensive lines may struggle against the defensive lines causing each offense to struggle. First time I haven’t had a play on a TGIS game of the week, but I think the line is exactly right. If I had a lean it would be Penn State +5.

Prediction: Ohio State 24- Penn State 21

Top Picks of the Week (All Times Central)

James Madison -3.5 at Marshall – 6pm on Thursday

James Madison has won the last three games by at least 7 points including a 28 point victory against a very good Georgia Southern team last week. James Madison is a wagon we are hopping on.

SMU -20.5 at Temple – Friday 6pm

Temple just got beat by 31 by North Texas. SMU can do that too.

South Carolina +7.5 at #20 Missouri – 2:30pm

South Carolina moved the ball all over Florida before giving up a ten point lead in the 4th. These teams are way too close for the Cocks to be an over touchdown underdog. Give me South Carolina.

Minnesota +3.5 at Iowa – 2:30pm

Iowa can’t keep getting away with absolutely zero offense. Minnesota keeps it close and may win outright.

Texas Tech at BYU +4.5 – 6pm

I get BYU as an underdog in Provo against a third-string, freshman Texas Tech quarterback? Seems too good to be true.

Colorado State at UNLV -7.5 – 6pm

UNLV has beat their last three opponents by 17, 24, and 18. They are a very good Mountain West team that will continue to roll.

#14 Utah +7.5 at #18 USC– 6:30pm

USC’s offense looked like trash against Notre Dame. Now they have a tough Utah defense. Even though the Utes don’t have a great offense, I still think they can move it on USC. Give me the points.

Duke +14.5 at #4 Florida State – 6:30pm

I know Riley Leonard most likely won’t start for Duke, but I’m betting on the Duke defense to keep this under two touchdowns.

Clemson -3 at Miami – 7pm

I do not trust Miami at all right now and there really isn’t a home field advantage in Miami Gardens. Clemson has a defense to stop Miami. Clemson wins.

#25 UCLA at Stanford UNDER 55– 7pm

UCLA actually has a defense unlike Colorado who gave up almost 300 yards to Stanfor WR Ellic Ayomanor. Meanwhile UCLA’s offense has not looked great. Give me the under.
