VANDERBILT (+21) at Florida
Despite having a bad win-loss record for the season, Vandy has hanged with nearly every SEC team it has played this season, so doing the same against the Gators, who have a transitioning backup QB adapting to a new offense should be possible. After all, the Commodores are impressively ranked at No. 17 nationally in defensive efficiency, meaning Florida’s offense won’t be having it easy. The 21 points should thus be ripe enough for a cover by Vandy.

CINCINNATI (+8) at Houston
The Bearcats may be on the road as touchdown-plus dogs, but with both teams ranked in the top-3 of their conference’s scoring charts, this game is likely to be a close shootout affair. Such a game, we believe, will allow the Cats to cover the spread over the Cougars.RUTGERS (+24) at Michigan
This one is probably going to boomerang on my big mouth, but I’ll still stick to my guts. Jim Harbaugh, good as he is with the Wolverines, still doesn’t have the potency to record huge blowout wins over quality conference opponents. Now, I am not saying Rutgers is a big team because you all know better than that. But having failed to cover the spread in his last two conference games as huge favorites, yet the Wolverines still being placed as three-touchdown favorites, it seems more like the Oddsmakers want you to buy into the Harbaugh hype train that is riding hot in the league now. So as your good friend, one who’s repeatedly seen Michigan simply win games due to strong defense and Harbaugh’s mind-games rather than solid offense, I will confidently advise you to bet against the public by taking Rutgers to keep the win margin below the three-touchdown mark.TCU (-5.5) at Oklahoma State
If you’ve watched TCU’s quarterback Trevone Boykin on the field this season, you probably know that he is more than capable of single-handedly tearing apart the so-called tough Cowboys defense. After shell-shocking WVU with five total TDs last week and a 30-point road win for TCU, Boykin will be good enough for the cheap five-point spread against Oklahoma State.
