The Six Pack: LSU-State of Mississippi, Michigan-State of Michigan, The Best College Football Choices

The Six Pack was 4-2 last week, and we hope this will be our baseline for the rest of the season. Both defeats captured Wisconsin (+8.5) in Michigan and Wyoming (+18) against the state of Fresno. Of those two, the only one I feel stupid is Wyoming. In hindsight, I should have seen how badly the Cowboys would score points in Fresno, but I got caught looking at such a big gap with a low number of points.

I assure you that it will not happen again. Now let's move on to this week's choices.

Games of the week

State of Mississippi # 22 (+6.5) at the Master's Unit 5: I am guilty of having underestimated LSU this season. I called LSU the most overvalued team of the SEC during our previews of the season, and the Tigers proved to be anything but. That said, I think they're a little overrated at this location after winning a huge win against Georgia last week. As good as LSU's defense has been this season, the state of Mississippi has been better in a few key areas. He gives less points per game, less yards per game, has a much higher bag rate, averages more defensive attacks per game and goes out of the field more often in third place. All this leads me to believe that we will see a case of lower scores in this case with LSU having trouble moving away without forcing many turnarounds. LSU 24, State of Mississippi 20

No. 12 Oregon (+3) to No. 25 Washington State: Last week, I took Oregon to cover as a dog against Washington and told how I had made the mistake of not trusting this. Ducks team against Stanford a few weeks ago. Well, now I find Oregon as an underdog again, albeit this time on the road, but that's not going to stop me from picking it up once again. Washington State is a good team because it is 5-1 and finds itself in this week's Top 25 AP.

If we take a closer look at this Cougars team, we see that his five wins have been won against Wyoming, San Jose State, Washington East, Utah and the state of Oregon. While East Washington has a 5-2 record and Utah 4-2, the other three are a total of 3-16. It's a good team, but I'm not ready to trust my favorite team against the Ducks, especially a Ducks team that has already beaten Washington and should have beaten Stanford. In addition, the fact that the oppressed is 7-1 against the gap in the last eight meetings between these two people only increases my confidence in me. Oregon 37, Washington 34

Lock of the week

Memphis (+10) to Missouri: This number is too big! Missouri has one of the worst defenses in the country, ranking in 100th place with 0.477 points per game. That does not bode well for a Memphis offense that ranks 5th in the nation with 0.618 points per game. Missouri's offense ranks 68th and although it will find life much easier on the Memphis defense than most of the teams it will meet at the SEC, this match will be more of a track competition. that all. If I can get 10 points in a game that will probably indicate which team has the ball last, I'll take it. Missouri 42, Memphis 38

Under the week

No. 6 Michigan at No. 24 Michigan State (Under 41.5): What's fun with the low totals like this is that they are usually so low for a reason, but most people are afraid to take the pennies. I'm not. This game is born to be a sub. Both teams have strong defenses and fouls that never seem in a hurry to score or run. Combine this with the forecast of strong winds in East Lansing, Michigan, and it will not be easy to find points on Saturday. Michigan 20, Michigan State 13

Blue blood of the week

USC (+6.5) in Utah: This line does not seem to you? It's not that Utah is not a good team, because it's a team, but should it be almost a touchdown favorite against USC? Even at home? Especially when talking about a USC team that has improved a bit in recent weeks. This is not the same team that seemed helpless against Stanford and collapsed against Texas; he has won three in a row, including games against Washington State and Colorado. If this game was played a month ago, I would probably take the Utes, but for now I am on the Trojans. USC 27, Utah 24

Clock of the week

Houston at Navy (Under 60.5): While Houston does not run the ball nearly as often as the Navy, the Cougars have proven to be one of the most effective offenses in the country. They averaged 6 yards per ground run and 238.4 yards per game. That, combined with the fact that the Navy throws the balloon and bleeds, as well as strong winds that could cause Houston to run the ball more often than it usually does, means that this total is too high. Houston 38, Marine 14

Choice of the week in SportsLine

No. 16 NC State at No. 3 Clemson: Clemson will host NC State this week in a undefeated battle against ACC, and the Tigers are currently favorites with 16.5 points, or 56 total. I have a strong game for the game available for SportsLine subscribers who can be found here.
