Last week: 9-4 +37.6*
7* South Carolina +7.5
Ole Miss is certainly capable of covering this spread, but this is their letdown week. Rebs have won 3 straight over Florida, Alabama, and Arkansas -- all big games for them. Next week they have hated Auburn in their sites in what they believe is a major step in winning the SEC West. They're bound to have some degree of letdown, no matter how much they guard against it. South Carolina is not a big rivalry with the Rebs, and they play good pass defense, which is essential in slowing down the Rebs' explosive offense. I'm truly hoping the Rebels win this game, but I feel there's a very good chance it will be a hard-fought victory and that the final score will be less than a touchdown.
7* Florida St -11.5
The Noles are perfectly capable of blowing this Notre Dame team far away. Irish won 34-24 last year in Tallahassee. Noles plan on returning the favor. Irish do not have the athletes or the speed to keep up with a focused FSU team. Noles are a perfect 0-5 ATS verses the Irish, but this will be cover #1.
7* Oklahoma St +16.5
I couldn't believe it when I saw this number. Sure, Oklahoma is very probably the best team in college football, and yes, they will want double revenge after losing the last two years to the Cowboys. But the Cowboys have the weapons to make a game of it. I guess the Sooners could conceivably do to OK St the same thing they did to Texas, but I'm betting that won't happen. Cowboys keep this one closer than that generous spread.
More games later in this same thread.
