As we head down the home stretch of the college football regular season, we are finding some great value on the college lines. Many teams will be looking ahead with rivalry weekend not far away. Others will be fighting hard for bowl eligibility and some will be fighting to keep their coaches employed.
Here are P4Ps favorite college plays for Saturday, November 14th.
They are rated 1-8, with #1 being our favorite pick.
Our pick in BOLD:
Home team in CAPS:
#1) Arizona (+3) over CAL
Cal has thrown in the towel. They looked lifeless after losing Jahvid Best last weekend. Arizona controls its Rose Bowl destiny with QB Nick Foles throwing for over 300 yards per game.
#2) Tennessee (+6) over MISSISSIPPI
Monte Kiffin’s defense won’t be toting any guns this weekend but Lance’s Dad’s D will make all the difference here against a struggling Rebel offense. The Volunteers offense has improved enough to keep this within a touchdown and the elder Kiffin has made things much more difficult for offensive coordinators around the SEC. Despite being short a few felons (allegedly) this week, we still like Tennessee.
#3) OREGON STATE (-13 ½) over Washington
This is the time of year that the Beavers get hot. The line on this game has jumped 3 points this week and with good reason. Huskie QB Jake Locker will not be 100% in this game with an injured hamstring.
#4) OHIO STATE (-16) over Iowa
We seriously doubt that the Hawkeyes will find the end zone this week, missing their top running back and QB Stanzi. The Buckeye offense has come to life in the past 2 weeks. Iowa was undefeated for the first 7 weeks through a series of smoke and mirrors. They were exposed, at home, last Saturday and they will get blown out today.
#5) TCU (-20) over Utah
A huge revenge game for the Horny Frogs after losing to the Utes last year. The TCU defense has not allowed a team to score more than 18 points all year and Utah will be starting a true freshman QB.
#6) Stanford (+10 1/2) over USC
The Cardinal is one of the few teams that has shown success on USC’s home field in the past 5 years. We love getting 10+ points against a stagnat USC offense. Coach Harbaugh is solid and Stanford is a direct reflection.
#7) Michigan State @ PURDUE OVER 53
Neither team will have much success stopping the other. Both teams will reach the 30 point mark. This, along with the majority of the other Big 10 games jump right to the top of the list in the Tostiotos Who Gives a Rat’s A$$ Bowl. Lots of points is the only saving grace here.
#8) Notre Dame (+7) over PITTSBURGH
The Fighting Irish have not lost a game this year by more than 7 points. Look for them to fight hard for Chuck Weis’ job. Insert fat joke here; Charlie Weis is a winner. He wins when nobody else can, in fact, he’s the only living person to beat Gastric Bypass Surgery and actually gain weight wearing his UnderArmour gastric band……Every week we keep waiting for PITT to crumble like every Dave Wanstedt coached team, but apparently this group doesn’t see Wanstedt’s cheezy mustache as a sign of weakness or as a distraction. Don’t underestimate Wanstedt’s leadership and his ability to lead his team to an unlikely collapse at just the wrong time.
