Week 9 Predictions

Top 25

(22) SMU 24 Duke 13

• SMU has been rolling since making the QB change from Preston Stone to Kevin Jennings. The Blue Devils have a solid defense and will look to control the ball on offense and run clock but I’m expecting the Mustangs to win.

(19) Pittsburgh 31 Syracuse 28

• My formula says take Pittsburgh -5.5/6 but that just seems like too many points to give in this matchup. I feel like both of these teams are evenly matched and this is a coin flip game. Eli Holstein vs Kyle McCord is an underrated QB matchup to watch for in Week 9 and both teams have impressive offenses. I’ll take the Panthers to win and cuse to cover.

(18) Ole Miss 31 Oklahoma 17

• OU fired their OC this week and they’re also going back to Jackson Arnold at QB. I believe Arnold gives them the best opportunity to win at the moment but this team just isn’t good enough to pull off an upset here. Give me the Rebels by two TDs. 

UNLV 38 (17) Boise State 34

• My formula says take UNLV +3.5 but I’ll just go ahead and pick the outright upset. 94% of bets are currently coming in on Boise State and the Public loves Ashton Jeanty and the Broncos. I feel like UNLV is a really good team and I’ll be in the 6% that takes them +3.5.

(16) Kansas State 35 Kansas 28

• Kansas actually put together a complete game last week vs Houston and had an impressive win but playing KSU will be a tough test. In these rivalry games anything can happen but KSU is the better team and I expect them to win. 

(15) Alabama 42 (21) Missouri 24

• This was a hard game to predict, I feel like both teams are overrated and not as good as their actual rankings. If Jalen Milroe plays his game I believe the Tigers will have a hard time stopping them. Brady Cook, Luther Burden III and the Tigers Offense should have success vs the Crimson Tide Defense but I’ll say Milroe plays an elite game and Alabama wins. 

(13) Indiana 27 Washington 24

• I’m on the Hoosiers Hype Train and I’m predicting them to win even though my formula absolutely LOVES UW +7. I actually do believe this is a prime spot for a Huskies upset especially if they can get pressure on QB Tayven Jackson. 

(12) Notre Dame 24 (24) Navy 17

• This is a game I’m excited to see because the Navy Offense has potential to cause the Irish massive problems. Navy is a 12.5/13 point underdog but I believe they have a real opportunity to win outright and definitely cover ATS. Blake Horvath has been amazing at QB and he’s a threat passing the ball as well. Riley Leonard has played really well the last few weeks and I see scenarios where he runs all over the Navy D. The Irish are better in the trenches and have the CBs to play man to man on the outside which will allow them to stack the box. Notre Dame wins in a close, hard fought game.

UCF 28 (11) BYU 23

• My formula loves UCF and this is a principle pick with the unranked team (UCF) being favored over the ranked team which results in the unranked team winning 70% of the time. 

(14) Texas A&M 31 (8) LSU 27

• I have to trust my formula on this one which says take the Aggies -2.5. I’ll be honest this pick scares me because LSU has been playing good ball and they actually look better on Defense without Harold Perkins Jr. I expect this to be a close close game but I’m rolling with A&M to win.

(6) Miami 35 Florida State 17

• The Noles are 21 point underdogs in this one and I don’t expect them to have any chance of winning this game but I wouldn’t be surprised if they covered. Cam Ward is playing at an elite level right now and the Noles have issues at QB. Somehow, someway I believe the Noles find a way to score (Possibly on Defense or Special Teams) and they cover ATS. 

(5) Texas 38 (25) Vanderbilt 17

• Diego Pavia and the Commodores are having a miraculous season but this Longhorns team is 2× better than any team they’ve played so far. Texas is looking to bounce back after a disappointing performance vs Georgia and I believe they make a statement in this game!!!!!!!

(4) Ohio State 45 Nebraska 7

• Nebraska and Dylan Raiola are on the right track as a program but the True Freshman is in for another rough game. The Buckeyes are looking to make a major statement after losing to Oregon and I expect a blowout in this one.

(3) Penn State 24 Wisconsin 20

• My formula likes the Badgers to cover the 7 point spread. I’m skeptical of that but I’ll trust it. I believe PSU is a way way better team and if they play their A game they could win this one by 20+ points. 

(1) Oregon 48 (20) Illinois 14

• Illinois is 6-1 and they’ve been impressive this season and exceeded my expectations. The only loss for the Illini was against Penn State where they only accumulated 7 points and 200 yards of offense. I believe Oregon is better than Penn State and has an offense capable of shredding the Illini. The Ducks win and cover the 21 point spread.
