October 15 CFB Best Bets

#10 Penn State at  #5 Michigan

I’m picking Penn State +7 primarily because I believe Michigan is overhyped with their ranking and their wins. Both of Michigan’s wins against Maryland and Iowa were much closer games than the scores indicated. Penn State is on the road here, but should be able to keep this game closer than the line indicates.

#3 Alabama at #6 Tennessee

This game all comes down to if Bryce Young is playing. If Young is playing, ‘Bama will roll over Tennessee. He’s going to be a top-10 NFL draft pick and a Heismann Trophy winner for a reason. I know the Knoxville crowd will be rowdy, but ‘Bama will get up early and silence them and all their Hendon Hooker talk.

Alabama -9 (-110) 2 Units

#8 Oklahoma State at #13 TCU 

This TCU squad is a wagon. They put up points in bunches with Max Duggan and Quentin Johnson leading the way. Everyone is betting on the over 68.5 this weekend because this should be a high scoring game. I know Spencer Sanders and the Ok St. Cowboys are undefeated and have been rolling, but this game is at TCU and it doesn’t seem like TCU is getting the respect they deserve. I’m backing the Horned Frogs and this high powered offense this weekend. 

TCU -5 (-110) 2 Units

#7 USC at #20 Utah

USC team is cruising along not dropping a beat, implementing the Lincoln Riley offense along with Caleb Williams leading them to a top-10 ranking. The offense is as impressive as it was during Riley’s OU days, so it was surprising to see them as an underdog getting 3.5 points against a Utah team that has already lost 2 games, including one last week to UCLA. This is a classic trap game by the sportsbooks, everyone is slamming their money on the table when they see that underdog plus odds on USC. USC doesn’t travel very well and Utah has one of the best home field advantages in all of college football. For those reasons, I’m betting Utah moneyline this week, because I don’t like the 3.5 point number.
