It&rsquo;s conference championship week, and&nbsp;we have several good plays for you here at&nbsp;Bet Karma.

&nbsp;

<h3>Best Bet of the Week: #20 Tulsa (+14.5) vs #9 Cincinnati&nbsp;</h3>

I call Tulsa the &ldquo;covering snake&rdquo;. If you bet against them, they will sneak up and bite you.

I had them -2.5 against SMU back on November 14th. They were down by 17 late in the 3rd quarter, and came back to win and cover.

The very next week, they needed a hail mary just to force overtime against Tulane. Even then Green Wave betters were feeling decent, before the Golden Hurricanes ran back a pick-six to cover the 5.5 point spread.

In their last game, Navy was giving Tulsa all they could handle all game, but the Golden Hurricanes hit a FG late to win 19-6 and cover the -12.

My point: Don&rsquo;t bet against Tulsa.&nbsp;

I understand how good of a team Cincinnati is. Not to mention, they will be playing with some extra motivation after being dropped to #9 by the playoff committee.

However, giving 14 and a half to a top 20 team in Tulsa creates plenty of value, mainly because of their defense. The Golden Hurricanes are only allowing 19.9 points per contest.&nbsp;

The Bearcats offense is legit, but Tulsa can slow them down.

Cincinnati will likely win the game but I expect Tulsa to make it interesting. Or at the very least, sneak up on Cincy betters in the end and cover the 14.5

<h3> 
#6 Iowa State (+6) vs #10 Oklahoma</h3>

The Cyclones have had a magical season, even with the season opening loss to Louisiana. Iowa State has won five&nbsp;straight games, climbing into the top 6 of the Playoff rankings.&nbsp;

Oklahoma has also turned the corner, winning six straight after a 1-2 start. They haven&rsquo;t lost since falling to Iowa State, 37-30, on October 3rd.

The Sooner defense has improved throughout the year, but I don&rsquo;t see them stopping Brock Purdy. The Iowa State QB has thrown for over 2,220 yards this season, with 17 TDs and 6 INTs.&nbsp;

Iowa State&rsquo;s rushing attack might even be a bigger threat. Breece Hall leads the conference in rushing yards by a MILE, with 1,357 on the season. West Virginia&rsquo;s Leddie Brown is in 2nd with 945.&nbsp;

Hall also has 17 TDs to go along with the Big 12 rushing title.

I just think the Cyclones are the better team here. Yes, beating a team like Oklahoma twice in one season is damn near impossible, but giving 5.5 points to the 6th ranked team in the country provides value.

Iowa State hasn&rsquo;t won a conference title in 108 years. This is their time.&nbsp;

<h3>The play: Iowa State +6 (-110) 1 units to win 0.9 units</h3>

&nbsp;

<h3>Stanford (+7) vs UCLA</h3>

Stanford is on a roll, having won three straight after an 0-2 start to the season. From the jump, I thought the Cardinals were a solid football team, and sure enough, they have proven to be just that even after the rocky start.

UCLA blew a chance to pick up a big win against USC last week. The Bruins were up 18 in the 2nd half and ended up losing, 43-38. There&rsquo;s a report out that UCLA may be looking to move on from Chip Kelly, leading me to believe that there&rsquo;s some dysfunction going on within the program. Even if there isn&rsquo;t a report like that could be a big distraction.&nbsp;

I think Stanford is the better football team anyway so let&rsquo;s take them with the points.

Will's Best College Football Bets - Conference Championship Week

<h2>2020 College Football Record:</h2>

<h2>17-6, +15.98 units</h2>

Friday marks the start of conference championship weekend, and I&rsquo;m zoning in on two games specifically. I&rsquo;m normally not a huge teasers guy, but the value here is too good to pass up.

&nbsp;

<h3>Marshall (-5) vs UAB</h3>

The Thundering Herd were running through everyone all year as part of a 7-0 start.&nbsp;To the shock of the college football world and especially us handicappers, Rice handled them two weeks ago, 20-0.&nbsp;

The main reason: Marshall QB Grant Wells threw five&nbsp;interceptions.&nbsp;

I don&rsquo;t see that happening again. Wells is still a solid quarterback, and more importantly, this Marshall team is still exceptionally good.

Marshall&#39;s offense&nbsp;ranks second&nbsp;in Conference USA&nbsp;averaging 32.8 points.&nbsp;Their defense is the best in the conference, holding opponents to just 11.4 PPG. The Thundering Herd&rsquo;s average margin of victory is a whopping&nbsp;27 points.&nbsp;

As for Wells, even with the awful performance at Rice, he is still tied for the conference lead in touchdown passes. A big bounce game back from him is coming on Friday.

This UAB defense is very good, but slowing down Wells and running back Brendan Knox will be a big challenge. Knox is averaging over 100 games on the ground.&nbsp;

I also look at this Blazers offense and I don&rsquo;t see them scoring a lot of points against Marshall. The Thundering Herd haven&rsquo;t allowed north of 20 points in a game&nbsp;this season, which is just an absurd stat. They have faced tougher tests than this UAB offense and excelled in those games. They held a very good Appalachian State team to just seven points.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3>#13 USC (-3) vs Oregon</h3>

I don&rsquo;t know how, but the Trojans are 5-0. They somehow came back and not only won, but covered against UCLA last week. And here they are in the PAC-12 Championship facing a team that wasn&rsquo;t even supposed to be in this game.

I think a lot of people are looking at this game and thinking, &ldquo;Dang, an undefeated top 15 team is only a three&nbsp;point favorite at home against an unranked team?? I&rsquo;m taking USC.&rdquo;&nbsp;

If that&rsquo;s the case, Vegas is doing their job. According to William Hill, 73% of public bets are going toward the Trojans.

Oregon is better than their 3-2 record. Those two losses were by a combined seven points. Meanwhile, three of USC&rsquo;s five wins have been by five points or less. I could see the Trojans coming from behind again to win another close game, that&#39;s why I&rsquo;m playing a teaser here.

I&rsquo;m 14-4 on my picks since I joined the Bet Karma team six&nbsp;weeks ago, and I can tell you,&nbsp;this is probably the best card I have had all season. Subscribe to premium to see all my picks, but below is&nbsp;my best bet&nbsp;of the week.

&nbsp;

<h3>Best Bet of the Week: #1 Clemson (-22) at Virginia Tech</h3>

I can&rsquo;t believe this line. What is Vegas doing here? Do we really&nbsp;think Clemson is not going to blow Virginia out?

Clemson has only had one game within 20 points when Trevor Lawrence plays. They have destroyed literally everyone when they have had their star QB.

The Tigers have the top scoring offense in the ACC, averaging 45.4 PPG. Virginia Tech ranks 12th in the conference giving up 32.6 PPG. The Tigers are going to score and do it quickly in this game.&nbsp;

Not to mention the fact that the Hokies are on a three&nbsp;game losing streak, and just got demolished by a bad Pittsburgh team, 47-14 last week. If Pitt can beat Virginia Tech by 33, I don&rsquo;t see Clemson having a problem covering here.&nbsp;

Expect the Tigers to jump out to a big lead early and not look back.&nbsp;

<h3>The play: Clemson -22 (-110), 2 units to win 1.82 units.&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>Memphis at Tulane (-2.5)</h3>

The last game of &ldquo;Hall Ball&rdquo; in the Big Easy! Tulane OC Will Hall recently took the job to be Southern Miss&rsquo; head coach, but he&rsquo;s sticking around for one more game, which isn&rsquo;t good for Memphis.&nbsp;

The Green Wave come in averaging over 400 yards per game, and have won&nbsp;three&nbsp;of their last four&nbsp;games.&nbsp;

The offense has played well all year, but the reason the Green Wave went from 2-4 to 5-5 is their much improved defense. Tulane has just given up an average of 16.5 points in their last four&nbsp;games, making me confident they can slow down a Brady White led Memphis offense.

<h3>The play: Tulane -2.5 (-110), 1.5 units to win 1.36 units.&nbsp;</h3>

&nbsp;

<h3>#5 Texas A&amp;M at Auburn (+6.5)</h3>

We faded Texas A&amp;M last week and it worked out, so let&rsquo;s do it again.&nbsp;

I still believe the Aggies are the most overrated team in college football. Kellen Mond played terrible against an abysmal LSU defense last week, just completing 11 of his 34 passes. Yes, I understand the conditions weren&rsquo;t ideal, but there is no good excuse for a performance like that.

He will be facing a much better defense in Auburn on Saturday, and I fully expect the Tigers to cover here.

<h3>The play: Auburn (+6.5), 1 unit to win 0.9 units</h3>

&nbsp;

<h3>Arkansas at Missouri (-2.5)</h3>

The Hogs are much better than their 3-5 record. And while the Tigers have played well down the stretch, I have a feeling the Hogs will be able to pull this off.&nbsp;

I would buy a half point if you have to to get the line up to 3.

<h3>The play: Arkansas +3 (-120), 1 unit to win .83 units</h3>

&nbsp;

<h3>#13 BYU at #18 Coastal Carolina (+10)</h3>

I think people are looking at this line and thinking, &ldquo;Oh, damn! The undefeated 9-0 home team is a 10 point dog!? I&rsquo;m taking that!&rdquo;&nbsp;

But little do they know&nbsp;just how good this BYU team is. The Cougars are averaging over 45 points per game, and have won all nine of their games by an average of 34 points.&nbsp;

Cougs by a million.&nbsp;

<h3>The play: BYU -10 (-110) 1.5 units to win 1.36 units.

Will's Best Bets - College Football - Week 13

<h2>2020 College Football Record:</h2>

<h2>12-4, +11.74 units</h2>

&nbsp;

<h3>Best Bet of the Week: LSU (+14.5) at #5 Texas A&amp;M</h3>

It hasn&rsquo;t been the season the defending champs were looking for, and the Aggies have exceeded expectations this season. Texas A&amp;M came in at #5 in the first College Football Playoff rankings.&nbsp;

The Tigers are coming off of a big 27-24 win at Arkansas last week, and in that game, found the confidence they need&nbsp;going into the last few weeks of the season.&nbsp;

After really struggling against Auburn in the Tigers previous game, QB TJ Finley looked comfortable in the pocket and turned in a solid performance. The freshman threw for 271 yards and 2 TDs, with no turnovers.&nbsp;

LSU also got the running game going with Ty Davis Price going for 104 yards. He has rushed for over 100 in two of his last three&nbsp;games.

I&rsquo;m just not sold on Texas A&amp;M. I think this is the most overrated team in the country. Yes, give them credit, they beat Florida, but that&rsquo;s it. Their other five wins were against teams with a combined record of 7-22.&nbsp;

Also, the Aggies haven&rsquo;t played in three weeks and could be very rusty.&nbsp;

LSU has dominated this rivalry since A&amp;M joined the SEC, winning seven of the eight matchups (only loss was that wild 7OT game in 2018.) Plus, the Tigers have covered in their last nine games against Texas A&amp;M.

I wouldn&rsquo;t be that surprised if LSU won this game outright, so giving 14 and a half to the Tigers has insane value.

The play: LSU +14.5 (-110), 2 units to win 1.82 units.&nbsp;

<h3>Mississippi State (+9.5) at Ole Miss</h3>

The Egg Bowl is here! And man, is it going to be fun.

We are seeing Leach vs. Kiffin for the first time, and I expect this game to be very close.

MSU freshman QB had the best game of his young career last week, putting up 346 yards and no throwing a pick against a very good Georgia defense.

This Ole Miss defense is very bad, so I think Rogers is able to find success again this week.&nbsp;

The play: Mississippi State +9.5 (-110), 1 unit to win 0.9 units.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3>Virginia at Florida State (+9.5)</h3>

The public leans UVA here but I think there&rsquo;s value taking the Noles with the spread. The Cavs will be without some key starters, including sacks leader Charles Snowden.&nbsp;

I expect FSU to keep it close.

The play: Florida State (+9), 1 unit to win 0.9 units

<h3>Best Bet of the Week: TCU at West Virginia (-3)</h3>

I haven&rsquo;t lost a bet in a month, and I don&rsquo;t plan on stopping now. So let&rsquo;s keep it rolling with my best bet of the week.&nbsp;Again it comes from the Big 12.&nbsp;

West Virginia has been very good ATS this season. They destroyed Kansas State to cover by a mile two weeks ago (which was my best bet of the week), and last Saturday, covered against Texas.&nbsp;

I love the Mountaineers&#39; defense. WVU ranks second in the Big 12 surrendering just 19.4 PPG, and has consistently been one of the best defenses in the country all season. They held a Texas offense that&rsquo;s averaging over 40 PPG to just 17 last week.&nbsp;

Shockingly, they lost that game, but I still have a lot of confidence in their offense. Jarrett Doege is having a great season. The junior QB ranks 9th nationally in passing yards, surpassing the 2,000 mark last week. He doesn&rsquo;t turn the ball over a whole lot and is reliable.&nbsp;

Their RB Leddie&nbsp;Brown is one of the best in the conference, averaging 105 yards per game. TCU ranks in the bottom half of the Big 12 in both scoring defense and rushing defense, and I don&rsquo;t see them slowing this WVU offense down.&nbsp;

West Virginia has the better offense. West Virginia has the better defense. West Virginia is at home. West Virginia is 4-0 ATS at home this season.

You know where I&rsquo;m going with this.

<h3>The play: West Virginia -3 (-110), 2 units to win 1.82 units.&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>Iowa at Minnesota (+3.5), Friday Night at 7:00 ET.</h3>

These teams are very similar. They both started 0-2, but picked up dominant wins last week. Iowa has the edge on defense, but man, I love Minnesota&rsquo;s offense. The Gophers have put up over 40 points in each of their last two games.&nbsp;

Their running back, Mohamed Ibrahim, leads all of FBS with 190.3 yards per game. Iowa&rsquo;s defense is good, but I don&rsquo;t know if they can stop him.&nbsp;

I&rsquo;m tempted to take Gophers moneyline, but let&rsquo;s take them +3.5 just in case.

<h3>The play: Minnesota +3.5 (-110), 1 unit to win 0.9 units.&nbsp;</h3>

<h3> 
SMU at Tulsa (-2.5)</h3>

Tulsa hasn&rsquo;t played a lot of games this year due to covid cancellations, but the Golden Hurricanes have proven that they are very good. They gave Oklahoma State all they could handle in week 1, and then beat UCF two weeks later.&nbsp;

Tulsa is going to be hungry for an opportunity to pick up a big win, and I think they get the job done.

<h3>2020 College Football Record:</h3>

<h3>7-3, +6.83 units</h3>

&nbsp;

<h3>Best Bet of the Week: #14 Oklahoma State at Kansas State (+12.5)</h3>

I&rsquo;ve gone 5-0 on college football bets the last two weeks, and two of those plays have come from the Big 12 conference. I&rsquo;m sticking with the Big 12 here for my free play of the week.

When I checked this line I had to blink twice. I couldn&rsquo;t believe it. These are two teams that are right next to each other at the top of the Big 12 standings, yet the home team is a massive underdog.&nbsp;

Yes, I understand that Kansas State was destroyed last week by West Virginia, (which didn&rsquo;t surprise me since I had WVU -5)&nbsp;but the Wildcats caught the Mountaineers at a bad time. QB Will Howard played poorly, and nothing went right for K-State. I see a big bounce back game this week from the Wildcats.

Oklahoma State is also coming off of a loss, 41-34 to Texas in overtime. For the first time this season, their defense didn&rsquo;t step up to the plate. While Will Howard is no Sam Ehlinger, I do believe he can find success against this OKST defense. This&nbsp;backup led K-State to a couple of big wins in the weeks after Skylar Thompson&rsquo;s injury. For him, the more reps he gets, the more comfortable he will be leading this offense. With a couple starts under his belt now, he&rsquo;ll be more ready this week against the Cowboys.&nbsp;

I don&rsquo;t deny that Oklahoma State will likely win this game, but the spread here is just too valuable not to take. This will be a hard fought battle that will come down to the very end, and Kansas State should cover the +12.5.&nbsp;

<h3>#5 Georgia vs #8 Florida (+3.5)</h3>

And now to Jacksonville for one of the biggest games of the week! The Dawgs have had the Gator&#39;s number in recent memory. Georgia has won the last three meetings, and six of the last nine. Florida knows that, and the Gators are going to come to fight on Saturday. 
Let me cut to the chase: Florida is the superior team here. They have the better offense, and the much better QB. Kyle Trask is a Heisman candidate, with 18 TDs and just 2 INTs on the season. Georgia QB Stetson Bennett is struggling, throwing five interceptions and just two touchdowns&nbsp;in his last two games. Florida has the #2 passing offense in the conference while Georgia ranks 10th in that category.

I think the Gators get the job done tomorrow, behind an outstanding performance from Kyle Trask.&nbsp;

<h3>The play: Florida +3.5 (-110), 1 unit to win 0.91 units.&nbsp;</h3>

&nbsp;

<h3>#1 Clemson at #4 Notre Dame (+6.5)&nbsp;</h3>

I don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;ve ever bet against Clemson, but I gotta do it this week. They barely survived Boston College last week at home, now they have to go to South Bend to take on a top 5 Notre Dame team.

Give D.J. Uiagalelei a ton of credit, he was fantastic in his first career start last week and led that comeback. But Notre Dame is not&nbsp;Boston College and he might struggle on Saturday. Notre Dame has arguably the best defense in the entire country, giving up just 10 PPG. They rank 1st in the ACC in scoring defense and passing defense. This will be a very difficult matchup for the young quarterback.&nbsp;

Ian Book has been solid this season for the Fighting Irish, with 7 TDs and just one INT. If he protects the football and doesn&rsquo;t make any mistakes, he can lead Notre Dame past Clemson.&nbsp;

Ultimately, these two teams will meet again in the ACC Championship and Clemson will win that battle with Trevor Lawrenence. Tomorrow though, will be Notre Dame&rsquo;s day.

Kansas State at West Virginia (-5)

Last week, I faded West Virginia for my best bet of the week, and sure enough, they lost to Texas Tech as part of my 3-0 slate.

But this week, I&rsquo;m taking the Mountaineers.&nbsp;

Kansas State has not yet fully felt the effects of Skylar Thompson&rsquo;s season ending injury, and I think that will change this week. Backup QB Will Howard struggled against TCU two weeks ago, completing just 8 of his 19 passes.&nbsp;

Yes, he played well against Kansas last week, but I&rsquo;m pretty sure a decent JV high school QB could hang with Kansas.&nbsp;

I see Howard struggling against a West Virginia defense that is incredibly solid. The Mountaineers rank 2nd in the Big 10 allowing just 21.2 PPG. They have the best pass defense in the conference, allowing just 152.6 yards per game, and have tallied 6 INTs this season.&nbsp;

Kansas State&rsquo;s defense is pretty solid as well, but I love the combination of Jarrett Doege and Ledde Brown and believe they&rsquo;ll be able to find success against the Wildcats.&nbsp;

Brown is 3rd in the Big 12 in rushing yards per game, averaging 118. Doege has put up solid numbers this season, with 1,389 yards (ranked 16th nationally) with 9 TDs and 3 INTs.&nbsp;

This West Virginia offense has the potential to put up points and I don&rsquo;t see an inexperienced backup QB on the other side being able to run with them.&nbsp;

Kansas State has been&nbsp;the trendy pick and the public is pounding the Wildcats, which makes me feel even more confident about West Virginia.&nbsp;

Also, there has&nbsp;been some serious reverse line movement in recent days, as the line has shifted from -2.5 all the way to -5. Vegas is begging people to take Kansas State. So let&rsquo;s take WVU.

<h3>South Alabama at Georgia Southern (-3.5)</h3>

We have some Fun Belt action on a Thursday night! South Alabama going on the road to face Georgia Southern. If you are looking to bet tonight, there is definitely a lot of value with this game.&nbsp;

Both teams are 3-2, but here&rsquo;s the bottom line: The three South Alabama wins came against terrible teams, and Georgia Southern&rsquo;s two losses came against very good teams. In fact, both of the Eagles&#39; losses came against top 25 opponents.&nbsp;

Georgia Southern has the 2nd best rushing attack in the Sun Belt led by arguably the best RB in the conference, J.D. King. He leads the Sun Belt in rushing yards with 490, and has tallied four touchdowns. He is going to create plenty of problems for this South Alabama defense. Georgia Southern&rsquo;s QB Shai Werts is a dual threat that will also be a challenge for the Jaguars.&nbsp;

On the other side, USA QB Desmond Trotter has put up some solid numbers, but Georgia Southern&#39;s defense will be able to contain him. The Eagles are 3rd in the Sun Belt allowing 361.2 yards per game. Their defense as a whole put together a solid showing against Coastal Carolina last week, tallying two interceptions.&nbsp;

I don&rsquo;t have confidence in South Alabama&rsquo;s defense. They rank in the bottom half of the Sun Belt in most defensive categories, and the last time they played a team of Georgia Southern&rsquo;s caliber, surrendered 42 points to UAB.

Georgia Southern has been more battle-tested this season than South Alabama, and the&nbsp;Eagles coming off of a loss will be tough to beat.

Plus, the Eagles have had the Jags number. Since joining the Sun Belt in 2013, Georgia Southern is 6-0 against South Alabama, including 5-1 ATS.

I&rsquo;m taking the Eagles tonight.&nbsp;

Will's Thursday Night College Football Bet

Best Bet of the Week: West Virginia at Texas Tech (+3.5)

Last week, I was ballsy and took South Carolina with my best bet of the week. It paid off. I have no choice but to roll the dice again.

Texas Tech hasn&rsquo;t been very good this season. Sure, they took Texas to overtime which was unexpected, but their offense the two games since then has scored a combined 36 points.&nbsp;

However, a new QB will be under center for the Red Raiders on Saturday. Matt Wells is turning to Utah State transfer Henry Colombi to make the start. Wells has plenty of familiarity with Colombi, who he coached at Utah State.

Colombi has been incredibly solid this season. Last week, he came in to relieve Alan Bowman and completed 10 of his 12 passes, throwing for 115 yards and a TD. Two weeks ago against Kansas State, he went 30-42 for 244 yards. He has been hands down the best quarterback for Tech this season, and now he&rsquo;s is finally getting a shot.&nbsp;

I expect this offense with Colombi as the starter to be much, much better than we have seen in recent weeks, and create some problems for this Mountaineer defense.

I am a little concerned about Texas Tech&rsquo;s defense against this vaunted WVU rushing attack, which could turn this game into a shootout. But a high scoring game at home should play to the&nbsp;Red Raiders advantage.&nbsp;

The public is pounding West Virginia. That makes me feel even better about taking Tech with the points.&nbsp;

A battle of unbeatens highlights this week&rsquo;s AAC slate. I was really surprised to see the line here. I figured Cincy would be the favorite, but they are a 2.5 dog.&nbsp;

The reason I&rsquo;m surprised is because the Bearcats have been extremely dominant this season, winning each of their games by double digits. SMU, on the other hand, has slipped past several of their opponents. They beat Tulane by just 3 last week.&nbsp;

Look for Cincy&rsquo;s defense to carry them to a win on Saturday. The Bearcats rank 6th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 12 points a game.&nbsp;

The play: Cincinnati ML (+125) for 1.5 units

Southern Miss at Liberty (-11)

Liberty is 5-0 after a 38-21 dismantling of Syracuse last week. Their offense was explosive, going for over 500 yards. Auburn transfer Malik Willis continues to impress at QB, but they were finally able to get RB Shedro Louis going last week, who went for 170 yards vs Cuse.

Liberty&rsquo;s defense is even better than their offense. The Flames have a top 10 scoring defense nationally, and I just don&rsquo;t see a way for Southern Miss to get anything going against them.&nbsp;

Liberty routs USM tomorrow, who are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games dating back to last season.&nbsp;

The play: Liberty -11 (-110) for 1.5 units

Best Bet of the Week:&nbsp;#15 Auburn at South Carolina (+3.5)

I think a lot of people look at this -3.5 line for Auburn and think that&rsquo;s a steal to take the Tigers. After all, Auburn is in the top 15, and South Carolina was picked to finish 5th in the East.&nbsp;

But let&rsquo;s be honest: Auburn had no business winning against Arkansas last week. A backyards spike at the end should have been ruled a fumble. The Hogs got robbed. The Tigers are very fortunate to be 2-1 going into South Carolina tomorrow, who are better than their 1-2 record.&nbsp;

The Gamecocks challenged a ranked Tennessee team in their season opener, falling 31-27 after fumbling a punt return with 1:27 left. The next week, they lost 38-24 against No. 3 Florida, but managed to cover the +18.&nbsp;

Last week, both the offense and defense clicked in a 41-7 win over Vandy, which means SC is coming in with momentum. Auburn followed up a 27-6 loss to Georgia with a controversial 30-28 win against Arkansas last week.&nbsp;

Sure, overall Auburn&rsquo;s defense is very solid, but look for South Carolina running back Kevin Harris to create problems. Harris is ranked 2nd in conference in rushing yards with 326. After going for 100 against Florida, he tallied 171 last week against Vandy. Believe it or not, Auburn&rsquo;s defense actually ranks in the bottom 3rd in the SEC in rushing defense, giving up 155.7 yards per game. Harris might have a field day.

But the reason I&rsquo;m taking South Carolina is not because of Auburn&rsquo;s defense, it&rsquo;s because of their offense - or lack thereof. Chad Morris (who Arkansas fired as head coach after not winning a single conference game in two years) might be the worst OC hire in the history of football. I mean, c&rsquo;mon. You could get a guy off the street who plays Madden every day and he would be better than Chad Morris.&nbsp;

It&rsquo;s sad, because I do feel like Bo Nix is really good, but the guy who is calling the plays isn&rsquo;t getting the job done. Auburn ranks 13th out of 14 SEC teams in total offense (and Vandy doesn&rsquo;t really count so Auburn is last). In passing offense, even with reigning SEC Freshman of the year at QB, they are 12th. South Carolina, meanwhile, has a top three defense in the conference.&nbsp;

I have zero confidence in Auburn&rsquo;s offense against a very solid South Carolina defense. So give me the Gamecocks, who pick up a signature win for Will Muschamp, or at the very least, cover the 3.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The play: South Carolina +3.5 (-110) for 2 units&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Kansas at West Virginia (-22.5)&nbsp;

Kansas has been outscored 132-44 in three games this season, and have lost each game by an average of 29 points. That includes last week&rsquo;s 47-7 loss to Baylor. Kansas doesn&#39;t appear to be any better than in years past.&nbsp;

West Virginia has had a strong start to the season. The Mountaineers are 2-1 after a huge 2OT win against Baylor last week. I smell a rout tomorrow in Morgantown.&nbsp;

The play: West Virginia -22.5 (-110) for 1 unit

 
Texas State at South Alabama (-3)

I&rsquo;ve been handicapping Texas State this season and feel very good about them covering tomorrow. Two weeks ago, they went on the road and nearly picked up one of the biggest wins in program history, falling to Boston College 24-21.&nbsp;

They weren&rsquo;t at their best last week against Troy, but I think this Texas State team, who is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, takes care of business tomorrow at South Alabama.&nbsp;

The play: Texas State +3 (-110) for 1 unit

 
Army at UTSA (+7.5)&nbsp;

UTSA posted one of the easiest covers of the season last week, going into their game as a 35 point dog against BYU and only losing by 7. Army, on the other hand, was a 30.5 favorite against The Citadel and won by 5.&nbsp;

I think this will be a very close game tomorrow, and there&rsquo;s plenty of value with taking the spread with UTSA. The Roadrunners are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games.&nbsp;

The play: UTSA +7.5 (-110) for 1 unit

 
#5 North Carolina at Florida State (+13.5)

Give Mack Brown a lot of credit. Getting UNC into the top 5 in just his second season is very impressive. But I&rsquo;m going to keep it real with y&#39;all: how the hell is North Carolina in the top 5? They pulled away at the end to beat a terrible Syracuse team in week 1, and then barely survived an unranked Boston College in their second game.&nbsp;

Sure, last week was a good win against Virginia Tech, but UNC is perhaps the most overrated team in the country. With Florida State turning to Jordan Travis at QB, I think the Noles put up a fight tomorrow in Tallahassee, and while they might not win, a cover is likely. Getting off to a strong start is key, but I expect them to hang in there and cover the spread like they did last week against Notre Dame.&nbsp;

The play: Florida State +13.5 (-110) for 1.5 units
