Saturday, CBS)Īlabama ranks 67th nationally this year in yards per carry (4.09) vs. PICK: Georgia (-14.5) to win by 15 points or more I can see a lot of people being on UK getting north of two touchdowns this week, and I’ll happily take the contrarian favorite. This could be the week as they host Kentucky, which is coming off a thumping of Florida but has scored 13, 0, 13, 3, 17 and 10 in its last six trips to Athens. Georgia’s slow starts have been widely discussed, and at some point, one would expect the Bulldogs to put 60 minutes together. PICK: Cal (+9.5) to lose by 9 points or fewer (or win outright) I'm not sure Cal can ultimately win outright, but it's worth a part of a unit. Uiagalelei, who has thrown four interceptions in the last three weeks and has completed barely 50% of his passes in that span. It also feels like Wilcox’s defense will have a plan to confuse D.J.
This feels like a natural letdown spot for the Beavers.
Now, off a ho-hum win as a big favorite over ASU, the Bears get Oregon State, which knocked off Utah last week. Saturday, Pac-12 Network)Ĭal’s record as an underdog under Justin Wilcox has been well-documented.
