Colin Cowherd presents his three best college football bets for Week 9 (October 24th) (Full Video at Bottom of Page)
In this week’s installment of Colin Cowherd's MARQUEE THREE, Colin is targeting #13 Wisconsin at #3 Ohio State, #9 Auburn at #2 LSU, and #8 Notre Dame at #19 Michigan.
(13) Wisconsin at (3) Ohio State – (Spread: OSU -14.0)
“Take the Badgers +14 to cover. They're 8-0 following a loss the last three years and Paul Chryst is a great coach, especially after losses. They were looking ahead to Ohio State and got caught off guard versus Illinois. They lead the nation in time of possession and will keep it away from the Ohio State offense for stretches. Despite the loss last week, Wisconsin's defense is ridiculous and number one in the country in a bunch of stats, including points, yards, yards per play, and third down percentage; they're fantastic. Their quarterback Jack Coan leads the Big Ten in completion percentage. They have a great running game, 2-3 pros on the offensive line, and Jonathan Taylor is a world-class back. They're going to lose this game and Ohio State has special playmakers that will go over the top that will win it, but Wisconsin will be in this football game. Don't overreact to the Illinois game. Ohio State wins, but Wisconsin covers."
PICK: Ohio State 30, Wisconsin 20. Wisconsin +14
(9) Auburn at (2) LSU – (Spread: LSU -10.5)
“BLOWOUT, BABY! I'm taking LSU -10.5. Joe Burrow may win the Heisman and could be a top 5 pick in the Draft. LSU finally throws the ball and Burrow has been sensational. This guy was a backup at Ohio State. LSU has been great in big games; 6-1 in their last 7 against top 10 teams, and Auburn's quarterback Bo Nix is a mess. He's a freshman who against top 30 defenses this year has been TERRIBLE. This is going to be a complete mismatch. Florida played almost a perfect game against LSU and lost by two touchdowns. Auburn is going to get overwhelmed and never wins this game in Death Valley. LSU will win comfortably."
PICK: LSU 36, Auburn 20. LSU -10.5
(8) Notre Dame at (19) Michigan – (Spread: ND -1.0)
“Michigan is going to upset Notre Dame this week. They lost to Penn State but played a great second half, dominating the Nittany Lions on the road with 150 more yards in the second half. Michigan's defense has 18 sacks in the last four games and now has a pass rush. Notre Dame has a good offense but they played one great defense all year, Georgia, and did you see what happened? Notre Dame does not have the perimeter weapons or the running backs to make big plays against top defenses, and Michigan's defense is humming. If you take out the rival Buckeyes and Spartans, Michigan wins games at home, 25-0 with Harbaugh at home outside playing OSU & MSU. Michigan's offense has 400+ yards the last two games and is getting their act together. I'm calling for an upset."
PICK: Michigan 27, Notre Dame 26. Michigan +1
