As the college football season heats into its 10th week, the stakes are high with teams vying for a spot in the College Football Playoff. The predictions provide a glimpse into what could be a thrilling set of matchups:
- No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 12 Missouri: The Bulldogs, reigning champions and undefeated so far, are expected to continue their winning streak against Missouri. Despite Georgia being heavily favored, Missouri’s performance against the spread suggests they might keep the score closer than expected, although a win for them seems unlikely.
- No. 8 Alabama vs. No. 14 LSU: Alabama, with only one loss, is looking to solidify their playoff candidacy. LSU’s upset could cause a major shakeup, but Alabama is favored to win, potentially setting up a showdown with Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
- No. 1 Ohio State vs. Rutgers: Ohio State’s defense has been outshining their offense this season, and the prediction leans towards a low-scoring affair, with Rutgers struggling to put points on the board.
- No. 7 Texas vs. No. 23 Kansas State: With both teams boasting strong defenses, Texas is favored at home. However, Kansas State is expected to keep the game tight until the end.
- No. 9 Oklahoma vs. No. 22 Oklahoma State: Oklahoma State’s recent surge gives them momentum, and while Oklahoma is favored, the game is anticipated to be close.
- No. 5 Washington vs. No. 20 USC: Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities, which could lead to a high-scoring game. The prediction suggests a total score that could exceed expectations.
