: TCU +7.5 vs. Michigan

I’ll take the touchdown with the Horned Frogs here against the Wolverines. As a matter of fact, I actually sprinkled a bit of cash on the moneyline, as I think TCU has a real shot to win this game outright. The spread hasn’t moved much, from 8 to 7.5, but the fact that it has moved down when Michigan is getting 61% of spread bets and 84% of ML bets tells me something.

: Ohio State +6.5 vs. Georgia
Sure, Georgia has been the most dominant team in college football for the past two seasons, but I still think 6.5 points is too many for them to be giving in this type of game and against a very talented Ohio State team. The Buckeyes are going to be out to prove that they’re better than their most recent loss to Michigan showed. OSU gave up a bunch of big plays to the Wolverines, but this time I think it’s going to be the Bulldogs giving up big plays to the Buckeyes. Georgia has struggled to contain explosive plays this year and OSU has 14 passing plays of 40 or more yards and eight plays of 40 or more yards on the ground, which ranks 11th and 10th in the nation, respectively. Count on the Buckeyes to keep this one close.

Ohio State-Georgia Over 52.5
