Week Ten Best Bets

Penn State (-10) over Michigan State – 12PM ET, Fox
Washington (-17) over Oregon – 10PM ET, FS1

Tier One

#7Penn State (7-1) @ #24Michigan State (6-2) – 12PM ET, Fox

I dropped Michigan State all the way out of my top 25, and I do regret leaving USF in over the Spartans, but any hopes of a College Football Playoff berth went down the drain. Michigan State still controls its own destiny in the hunt for a Big Ten title. Penn State does not, but I only dropped the Nittany Lions to #5 in my rankings, because if the two teams played head-to-head, there is no way I would take Oklahoma over Penn State, no matter who beat Ohio State and who didn’t. This game isn’t going to be close. Saquon Barkley and the rest of this Penn State team are going to be motivated following the loss (on the road to a top four team), and Michigan State lost to a Northwestern team that can only be described as “meh”. If this game was within two touchdowns it would be a surprise to me.

Prediction: Penn State 35, Michigan State 17 (Penn State -10 is a BEST BET for Week Ten)

#4Clemson (7-1) @ #20NC State (6-2) – 3:30PM ET, ABC

First of all, why is Clemson #4? Really, #4? A team that lost to Syracuse is #4. Don’t feed me the Kelly Bryant injury nonsense, he played half the game, and Clemson was losing when he left anyway. Clemson is still a very good team that just had a bad night, and I had them at #6, but top four seems excessive to me. NC State is a team I’m having a hard time figuring out. The Wolfpack got killed last week by the #3 team, and they are at home against Clemson with an opportunity for a season-changing win and a spot in the ACC Title game. This screams trap game to me, but assuming Kelly Bryant is back to 100%, which looked like the case last week, I can’t pick against a team with this good of a defense. It’ll be low scoring, but I think the Tigers get the job done in a close one.

Prediction: Clemson 31, NC State 23

#5Oklahoma (7-1) @ #11Oklahoma State (7-1) – 4PM ET, Fox Sports 1

I had both of these teams two spots away from the committee. Oklahoma 7th (yes, behind Ohio State, because a season is more than one game), and Oklahoma State 9th (yes, ahead of TCU, because a season is more than one game). This is essentially a playoff elimination game, the loser has no shot, and the winner controls their own destiny to at worst a top-five spot, depending on what happens elsewhere. I’m taking Oklahoma State in this game because I can’t trust Oklahoma, the same reason I have the Sooners outside of my top six, they’ve been lucky this year. Games against Baylor, Kansas State and Texas all came down to the final minutes, OU very well could be 4-4 right now based on how they played in those games. I’m taking the home team, and the Mason Rudolph-led ‘Pokes.

Prediction: Oklahoma State 45, Oklahoma 42

#13Virginia Tech (7-1) @ #10Miami (7-0) – 8PM ET, ABC

I put Virginia Tech ahead of Miami in my top 25 this week, and I’m going to stand behind that ranking and pick the Hokies to go into Coral Gables and pick up a road win over a top ten team. Virginia Tech, while not having played any top-tier team since West Virginia, has dominated each and every game this year outside of that Clemson game. That includes a game against a resurgent Boston College team that won @ Louisville, @ 5-1 Virginia, and against Florida State in three straight weeks. Miami, while not having a one in the loss column, has done the opposite. The last four games have all been close one-possession wins that come down to the wire, including last week against 1-8 North Carolina. This is the week that the luck runs out.

Prediction: Virginia Tech 30, Miami 27

#19LSU (6-2) @ #2Alabama (8-0) – 8PM ET, CBS

Something happened after the Troy game that lit a fire under this Ed Orgeron team, and they have been unstoppable ever since, but now they face the immovable object, the Alabama Crimson Tide. We all hear the news stories about how Nick Saban doesn’t pay attention to the news, but really, you have to think there is at least a little bit of extra motivation now that the Tide lost that little number one next to their name. LSU has been playing quality defense for the past month, but come on guys, its Alabama. LSU almost pulled the upset in this game last year, I don’t think it will be that close again in 2017. Give me Jalen Hurts and Alabama by three touchdowns.

Prediction: Alabama 38, LSU 17
