Miami at Pittsburgh.
Line: Miami by 14.

Friday, 12:00 p.m.

Pittsburgh is all that stands in Miami’s way before battling Clemson for the right to go to the college football playoff. This is an obvious look-ahead situation for the Hurricanes, who nearly lost to Virginia last week. Also, it’s worth noting that Miami hasn’t really been tested on the road. It has played three away contests, beating Duke, and barely squeaking by an underacheiving Florida State squad and pedestrian North Carolina. I don’t think the Hurricanes deserve to be two-touchdown favorites on the road versus a competitive Pittsburgh squad. Pittsburgh +14 is available at Bovada.

College Football Pick: Pittsburgh +14 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300







Texas Tech at Texas.
Line: Texas by 10.

Friday, 8:00 p.m.

If you exclude games against elite competition – TCU, Oklahoma – Texas Tech has been very competitive this season. The Red Raiders hung around with Oklahoma State and Kansas State, so their record could be much better than what it is now. I think they could keep this game close versus a Texas squad that is overrated in the wake of its win over West Virginia. The week before, the Longhorns struggled to put Kansas away. Before that, they were smoked by TCU. These teams are closer than double digits.

College Football Pick: Texas Tech +10 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200






Georgia at Georgia Tech.
Line: Georgia by 11.5.

Saturday, 12:00 p.m.

Duke ripped Georgia Tech to shreds last week, but I think the Yellow Jackets were clearly looking ahead to this game. Defeating arch-rival Georgia would validate their season, and I think they’ll have a chance of pulling the upset. Earlier in the year, they managed to keep things close against Clemson, and they lost to Miami by just one point! Georgia, meanwhile, has played just one road game since Oct. 7, and we saw what happened in Auburn.

College Football Pick: Georgia Tech +11.5 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330






Louisville at Kentucky.
Line: Louisville by 10.

Saturday, 12:00 p.m.

I’ve talked about how Louisville’s spreads have been inflated this year. The Cardinals simply get way too much hype because of Lamar Jackson. Don’t get me wrong, Jackson is a terrific player – I have him third overall in my 2018 NFL Mock Draft – but he doesn’t have much support. Louisville crushed Syracuse last week with the Orange Men missing starting quarterback Eric Dungey, so this spread seems a bit inflated as a consequence. I think the Cardinals could struggle in this matchup, as Kentucky has been competitive in most of their games (excluding last week’s blowout against Georgia).

College Football Pick: Kentucky +10 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330






Alabama at Auburn.
Line: Alabama by 4.5.

Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

A couple of weeks ago, Alabama may have been favored by seven over Auburn. However, this spread has shifted in the Tigers’ direction because of the blowout victory over Georgia. I don’t want to take away a lot from that win, as it was impressive, but the Bulldogs were overrated heading into that contest. Now, Auburn is overrated. Nick Saban has had two weeks to prepare for the Iron Bowl – Mercer was basically a bye – and the Tide will be getting some defenders back from injury to help slow down Auburn’s offense. I think Alabama will win by 7-10 points.

College Football Pick: Alabama -4.5 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330
