The last few months of college football are upon us as teams strive to win conference titles and qualify for the postseason. 247Sports has released its predictions for this season. Many games with ramifications for the league title are on the Week 10 schedule. These include games between Kansas State-Texas and Oklahoma-Oklahoma State in the Big 12, as well as LSU-Alabama and Missouri-Georgia in the SEC.
The leaders in each conference are determined by these four games between nationally rated teams, and there are additional games to watch that could have a big impact on the standings.
Season standings: Chris Hummer finished 40-49-1 ATS and Brad Crawford finished 68-22 overall and 44-45-1 against the spread. In the picks area, this season is starting to rip us up and spit us out with extremely tight lines going both ways. We’ve both at the point of no return, and a third straight week of losses could spell the end for dreams of finishing above.500 ATS. Now is the time to look forward and make a great finish to the last month of the regular season.
Hummer (Arizona +3): An entertaining mix of fashions. While Arizona’s attack is on the verge of making it into the top 25 nationally, the Bruins own one of the strongest defenses in the Pac-12 and the entire nation. The only thing you can do to beat UCLA’s defense is to pass block, which the Wildcats do really well since the Bruins have a tough front. More importantly, Arizona possesses the outside skill players to take advantage of a strong UCLA secondary. With Ethan Garbers at center, the Bruins are playing more offensively, but Arizona is, in my opinion, playing as quietly as anyone in the Pac-12. The Wildcats are a good value since they continue to roll and have defeated a ranked opponent for the third straight game.
Texas A&M +3 Hummer Numerous statistics suggest that you shouldn’t select Texas A&M this week. The Aggies have suffered their fourth-longest road losing streak in FBS history—eight games in a row. They have also suffered back-to-back defeats to Ole Miss. Against unranked opponents this season, the Rebels are 5-0. They’re a strong 6-2 ATS as well. But why stop now that I’ve been wrong about Texas A&M all season? The Ole Miss offensive line is merely mediocre, but the Aggies have the defensive line to dominate this game. Jaxson Dart also loses a great deal of effectiveness when the Rebels’ fast-moving attack is slowed down. This is a really close game; if I had won at 4.5 points like when it first opened, I would have been ecstatic.
