Week 6 - Video & Picks

Last Week: 2-3

Season: 13-13

Texas -5 (v. Oklahoma)

Whoever wins the rushing battle has won 18 of the last 20 matchups in this series.  Texas comes in averaging 192 yards per game rushing compared to OU only averaging 157 yards per game on the ground.  Also for Texas, the last 3 games they are averaging 232 yards per game rushing.  This Texas offensive line and running back Jonathan Brooks are hitting their stride and factor in Texas has maybe the best defensive line in the country, I expect Texas to dominate the rushing battle so give me Texas -5.  Hook’em

Texas 1st Half -3 (v. Oklahoma)

Texas has led at halftime every single game but so as OU.  Still I think Texas is the better team and I expect them to lead this game from start to finish.

Texas Team Total Over 33 points & Oklahoma Team Total Under 28 points

I’m predicting Texas wins this game 38-24.

North Carolina -9.5 (at home v. Syracuse)

UNC is at home off a bye and has looked really good and are 4-0.  Tar Heel quarterback Drake Maye is completing 73% of his passes.  Syracuse is off an emotional loss to Clemson last week at home and now travel to North Carolina to play a better team who also has an extra week to prepare.  I smell a blowout. 

Louisville +7 (at home v. Notre Dame)

Notre Dame is in the middle of a gauntlet of a schedule.  2 weeks ago lost by 3 to Ohio State on a last second touchdown, then last week barely escaped Duke with a win.  Next week they host USC.  But right in the middle of that is a tricky road night game at undefeated Louisville who is also off a bye.  This isn’t the week to catch your breath if you’re Notre Dame, and Louisville quarterback Jack Plummer is pretty good, especially at home.  Give me the Louisville Cardinals to keep it close at +7.  A home getting points, what’s better than that?

Arizona +21.5 (at USC)

USC defense stinks, yeah their offense might score 50 but their defense is giving up 30 to everyone.  Arizona plays hard and covered for us last week, and I’m betting they’re going to do it again.  Arizona Wildcats +21.5
