Indiana at Penn State, 12 PM, ABC
The Hoosiers have been one of the surprise teams of 2019 and have cracked the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since 1994. The Nittany Lions head home looking to bounce back from last week’s upset loss to Minnesota. Penn State gets its rebound, but Indiana keeps it interesting.
The Pick: Indiana +14.5 (-110)
Florida at Missouri, 12 PM, CBS
A week after the disappointing loss to Georgia, the Gators went out and shellacked visiting Vanderbilt. Meanwhile, the Tigers have dropped three straight, and they’ve lost the last two by double digits. Florida gets the win and cover as their quest for a 10-win season continues.
Wisconsin at Nebraska, 12 PM, BTN
The Badgers recovered from consecutive losses that threatened to derail their season with a close home win over Iowa. They travel to take on a disappointing Cornhuskers squad that has dropped three in a row. Wisconsin stays alive in the Big Ten West race with a win and cover.
The Pick: Wisconsin -14.5 (-110)
Michigan State at Michigan, 12 PM, FOX
It’s a down year for a Spartans team that enters at 4-5, but we can still expect them to get up for a big rivalry game. That said, the Wolverines have quietly picked up the pieces from two losses with several impressive wins. Michigan gets another one on Saturday at home.
The Pick: Michigan -13.5 (-110)
Kansas at Oklahoma State, 12 PM, FS1
The Jayhawks showed some promise earlier this season, but the Les Miles rebuilding project has hit some snags. He’ll return to one of his old stomping grounds to face a Cowboys team that has won two straight. Oklahoma State gets the win, but Kansas keeps it closer than expected.
Navy at Notre Dame, 2:30 PM, NBC
The Midshipmen are in the thick of a race to take down the AAC West. They’ll take a break from that with a tough trip to Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish’s hopes of a playoff spot are gone, but dreams of a lofty bowl spot are not. Notre Dame may win on the home field, but Navy will put them to the test.
Georgia at Auburn, 3:30 PM, CBS
As of now, the Bulldogs are fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings. Georgia has its destiny in its hands, but it won’t be an easy road to seal the deal. Auburn had last week off, and they would love to play spoiler for an SEC foe. They may not come away with the win, but they will at least keep it real close.
Texas at Iowa State, 3:30 PM, FS1
The season hasn’t gone as expected for the Longhorns, and the defense deserves the blame. The Cyclones are 5-4, but three of those losses were by two points or less. Iowa State can handle business at home, but Texas will make them sweat yet again.
Wake Forest at Clemson, 3:30 PM, ABC
In a perfect world, Wake Forest would’ve handled business versus Virginia Tech last week to make this ACC Atlantic clash more meaningful. They didn’t, but that doesn’t mean the Demon Deacons still don’t have the game circled on the calendar. Clemson wins, but Wake puts up a fight.
The Pick: Wake Forest +34.5 (-110)
Minnesota at Iowa, 4 PM, FOX
Entering last week’s game with Penn State, the undefeated Golden Gophers were being knocked on their strength of schedule. That’s no longer the case, but they have another tough test this week at Iowa. The Hawkeyes will certainly make them work for it, but Minnesota will continue its special season with another win.
