College Football
College Football picks for Saturday, October 21st

🏈 Penn State +4.5: Penn State has showcased their skill throughout the season, and I anticipate this game won't deviate from that narrative. Both teams are coming in with pristine records, but I'm leaning toward Penn State being the one to come out on top. Nonetheless, taking the +4.5 provides a cushion for the Nittany Lions.

🏈 Penn State vs Ohio State Over 45.5: As hinted at in my previous pick, both Penn State and Ohio State have offenses that can light up the scoreboard. Expect fireworks in this clash. Going with the over 45.5 points feels like a wise choice.

🏈 Oklahoma State +3: Riding high from their convincing victory against Kansas last week, Oklahoma State seems poised to maintain that momentum. Facing the often overhyped West Virginia Mountaineers, I predict the Cowboys will stifle them and emerge triumphant.

🏈 Alabama -9: Alabama's start to the season might not have been their best, but they've found their stride recently under Coach Saban's guidance. Contrarily, Tennessee seems to be on a downward trajectory. Expect the Crimson Tide to roll over the Volunteers with a decisive victory.

🏈 Duke +14.5: Handing Duke a 14.5-point spread feels like a gift. Duke has the talent to stand tall against nearly any team they face. This game promises to be much closer than the spread indicates. Duke will stay within the range, and they might surprise us all.

🏈 Duke vs Florida State Over 49: While the spread might suggest a sizable gap between these teams, it doesn't necessarily imply a low-scoring affair. Both teams have the firepower to rack up points on the scoreboard, and I'm anticipating quite the display of offensive prowess. Let's bank on a high-scoring match!

🏈 USC -7: USC's recent stumble at Notre Dame was a tough pill to swallow. However, in sports, resilience is critical. This game gives the Trojans the perfect stage to make a statement and claw their way back into the college football playoff chatter. They should win this one convincingly.

🏈 Rutgers -6: With the possibility of a legitimate bowl game berth on the horizon, there's a lot at stake for Rutgers. It's been a while since they've tasted such success. That added incentive should fuel their fire, leading them to a much-needed victory.

🏈 Mississippi +6.5: Mississippi has been showcasing some excellent football recently, making them a 6.5 underdog to the Arkansas Razorbacks a tad surprising. Anticipating a nail-biter as Ole Miss will surely make this one competitive.

🏈 Oklahoma -17.5: Oklahoma's urgency to secure a place in the college football playoffs has made them play with a heightened sense of purpose. One slip-up can cost them dearly, and they are acutely aware of this. Their recent performances are a testament to their resolve, and this week should be no different.

🏈 Iowa Moneyline: When it comes to grinding games and letting the defense take the reins, few teams do it better than Iowa. The Hawkeyes are the safer bet in a game against Minnesota that promises more defense than offense.

🏈 Iowa vs. Minnesota Under 30.5: Building on the prior pick, expect this match to be a defensive masterclass, with both teams struggling to light up the scoreboard. This has all the makings of a low-scoring affair.

🏈 Oregon -20: After a heart-wrenching loss to Washington, it's redemption time for the Ducks. With Bo Nix at the helm, eager to reestablish his Heisman credentials, I expect Oregon to respond emphatically and clarify their playoff intent.

🏈 Oregon vs Washington over 61: When Oregon's on, they're a spectacle. They have the firepower to register big scores, and this game might be a testament to their offensive prowess. Expect a lot of points on the board.

🏈 Texas -23.5: It's all about vengeance for Texas. After a top 4 position and a subsequent loss to Oklahoma, the Longhorns are itching for a big performance. Houston might just be on the receiving end of a Texas masterclass.

🏈 Texas vs. Houston over 60.5: The Texas Longhorns have been stewing over their Oklahoma loss, and the bye week has only added to their hunger. I foresee an offensive onslaught from Texas, with the scoreboard ticking over constantly. The over seems inevitable.
