The Six Pack: Oklahoma-West Virginia among the best choices of college football during the week of rivalry

The Six Pack enters the week of rivalry. After being 5-1 in our picks last week, the Six Pack is now 13-4-1 over the last three weeks. I finished the regular season in November and I do not plan to stop this week.

So, spend some time with your family at Thanksgiving, then set up your back for the whole weekend and wait for all those winning choices to help you get a head start on your vacation expenses. You deserve it.

Games of the week

Oklahoma No. 6 (-2.5) to 13 West Virginia: I have pissed off a lot of Oklahoma fans this weekbut I think they misunderstood what I think about this Sooners team. The bottom line is this: I do not want Oklahoma to qualify for the college football playoffs because I do not care about the quality of their attack, the defense is just not enough to help this team to beat an elite team. That does not mean I do not think this Oklahoma team is good enough to beat more than almost every other team in the country. Yes, and I think this Sooners team will be going to Morgantown on Friday night to take care of the Mountaineers.

Since West Virginia joined the Big 12 in 2012, the Sooners have not treated it nicely, with Oklahoma having won all six matches. Two years ago, the Mountaineers were 8-1 when they hosted Oklahoma in Morgantown and announced to them the possibility of a Big 12 title. Oklahoma then proceeded to crush them. 28. Last year at Norman, the Sooners won this game 59-31. I do not see another rash of 28 points coming because of this defensive Oklahoma worse than today, but I also do not see that the West Virginia defense has a lot of chance to stop the offensive in Oklahoma. The Sooners will win and move to the Big 12 Championship. Oklahoma 49, West Virginia 41

# 4 Michigan to # 10 Ohio State (under 56.5): You may be surprised to learn that the submarine has not weathered this rivalry well in recent years. The last two meetings have resulted in an overkill, averaging 63.2 points per game. I think these results have helped to inflate this total a little, as well as the story that the state defense of Ohio is terrible.

Well, the defense of the state of Ohio is not terrible. It's not as good as everyone thought, but it's still above average. there are just very specific problems against certain types of offenses. The offensive profile of Michigan is not the one that has been a problem for Buckeyes. Michigan does not slouch you and do not try to fool you, it just wants to hit you in the mouth several times, and Ohio State is better suited to this kind of game. On the other side, I think that Ohio State will have difficulty moving the ball against this Michigan defense, just as it did against Michigan's state defense. The points will be at premium. Michigan 24, State of Ohio 20

Lock of the week

# 11 Florida to Florida State (Under 52.5): Florida State had a lot of problems during the first season of Willie Taggart, but most of these problems occurred on the side of the attackers and special teams. The defense has worked well – perhaps not the usual standards we expect from this program, but many of its problems are related to an offense that puts it in a bad position. Florida's defense has been even stronger than that of Florida State, and in this game of rivalry, I'm expecting both defenses to get the best of things. It will not be easy for both teams to move the ball to the ground, which will slow them down and limit the goals. If you want a trend that makes you better about this choice, the inferior went 4-1 in the last five games between these two games and 9-2 in the previous 11 games played in Tallahassee. Florida 27, Florida 17

Underdog of the week

Maryland (+13.5) at Penn State: This line is just a bit too big, and I understand why. It's a rivalry as one-sided as possible rivalry (Penn State won 38 of 41 entries) and the Nittany Lions are considered one of the best teams in the country. Nevertheless, Maryland is better than her 5-6 record suggests – just ask Ohio State and Texas. On the offensive side of the ball, the Terps have found a rhythm lately and will be able to score points. In addition, the Terps need a win to qualify for the cup. There is no doubt that they will be motivated for it. Meanwhile, the only news you hear at Penn State this week concerns the assumption that USC would be interested in James Franklin and that Franklin would not do everything possible to crush him. I do not think Maryland can get away with it, but they will stay there and make life difficult for Penn State. State of Penn 31, Maryland 21

Team of the Week in the playoffs

No. 3 Notre Dame (-10.5) at the USC: How can we trust USC here? The Trojans clashed with their rival UCLA last week. They needed a win to qualify for the World Cup title. Rumors were circulating that Clay Helton could be coaching for his position. They eventually lost by a touchdown to a 2-8 team. Of course, maybe this will be the week when USC will stand out and come out with her hair on fire, but even if the motivation of an overheated team exists, it's not as if Our Lady would be surprised to look behind the Trojans. The Irish are 60 minutes away from the college football game. It's a team of Notre Dame who has already played a lot of big matches in 2018 and who knows exactly what to do to win this one. And the Irish will have at least two touchdowns. Our Lady 35, USC 14

Degenerate game of the week

Louisiana (+3) at UL-Monroe: You know you want to bet this game and you should do it because Louisiana has a lot of value here. The process of thinking behind this choice is extremely simple: Ragin 'Cajuns are just the best team. Both teams have the same record, but in terms of the match, both teams are similar in defense, but the Cajuns were much better than the Warhawks in attack and attack. I only make choices against the gap and the total in this column, but I also recommend you take the Cajuns vertically. Louisiana 41, UL-Monroe 35

Choice of the week in SportsLine

Auburn at No. 1 in Alabama: The Iron Bowl considers Alabama a 24.5-point favorite over Auburn with a total set at 52.5. I have a game available for this game, but you can only read it on SportsLine.
