- Arizona has one of the more anemic pass rushes in the country with just five total sacks in six games, tied for No. 123 in the nation
Pick: OVER 67
Texas A&M at Ole Miss
- Texas A&M has played one of the toughest schedules in the nation to this point of the season. The Aggies’ three losses have come at the hands of No. 1 Alabama, No. 3 Clemson and No. 11 Auburn
- Since John Rhys Plumlee took over the starting quarterback position for Ole Miss on Oct. 28, the Rebels have covered the spread in all of his starts
- Redshirt freshman Matt Corral still will see extensive playing time
- General rule of thumb: freshman-laden teams improve and are more dangerous at home
The pick: Ole Miss +6.5
WVU at Oklahoma (-33.5, 65)
- Big favorites in high scoring games are 163-113-12 for 59.1 percent (Oklahoma)
- Letdown after Texas
- Second biggest underdog that WVU has ever been
- WVU short-handed
- Starting cornerback Hakeem Bailey will miss the first half after getting ejected for targeting
- Fellow starter Keith Washington was inactive against Iowa State due to a muscle injury that affected his ability to run, so his return against Oklahoma is no guarantee.
- Starting quarterback Austin Kendall, an OU transfer is questionable
- Kendall was primarily a backup for two Heisman Trophy winners, completing 28 of 39 passes for three touchdowns in two seasons with the Sooners
- 66 percent completions, 1247, 9 TDs, but 7 INT
- Backup Jack Allison 18-of-24 for 140 yards
The pick: Oklahoma -33.5
Boise State at BYU
- Dogs of 5.5 or more in two-game or more losing streak versus an opponent in a four-game or more winning streak 93-56-4 (BYU)
- Momentum exception
- Boise State QB Hank Bachmeier is doubtful

- Jaylon Henderson was 6-for-10 passing for a career-best 82 yards
- Boise one of three undefeated non-Power 5 teams
- Only SMU could leapfrog them but style points still a consideration
- Significant pressure on Boise State though road game, likely with BU QBs
The pick: BYU +6.5
Arizona State at Utah
- Teams off dominant win 583-414-28 (Utah)
- Sub-system takes it to 59.1 percent
- ASU won previous two meetings by combined 38 points

The pick: Utah -13.5
