Here are my picks for the week and condensed write-ups.
Alabama -7 over LSU (buying 0.5 points) (-115) 3 units
This is definitely the game I'm most confident about. Alabama just seems like the better team in every aspect of the game. LSU's QB hasn't done anything against a team with a good defense, and Alabama has by far the best run defense in the country so I think LSU will struggle to do anything on offense. Alabama will at least be able to move the ball, and their passing game will be more efficient now that they have their top TE back. Also, Alabama's OL has a big advantage over LSU's DL.
I like Alabama to win 27-10
Oklahoma -4.5 over Nebraska 1 unit
I'm surprised this line has actually moved in Nebraska's direction. Nebraska's offense has been doing terrible, and I don't think they'll be able to do anything against OU's defense, so Oklahoma should have great field position for most of the game. Oklahoma's offense seems like it's finally getting used to not having Bradford as QB and should be able to take advantage of this.
Oklahoma 24- Nebraska 10
Florida St. +9.5 over Clemson 1 unit
My only concern with this game is that FSU's run defense has been absolutely terrible at times. However, I think that if Ponder has a good game FSU should be able to keep the game close and possibly come up with a win.
Clemson 33- FSU 31
Any thoughts?
