College football predictions: Wake Forest vs. North Carolina State and more picks

Final week, Wake Forest misplaced to Louisville, 48-21, in one of many oddest faculty soccer video games you’ll ever see. The Demon Deacons dedicated six turnovers … within the third quarter. Total, Wake turned the ball over eight instances and Louisville scored two defensive touchdowns.

I used to be on Louisville +4, however now, we've got an important bounce-back spot for Wake Forest as a 3-point favourite at North Carolina State. We're getting some worth on this line due to the debacle final Saturday. If the Demon Deacons had received that recreation, this line can be nearer to -7. That’s the type of efficiency I throw out the window as a result of it’s not the norm for QB Sam Hartman and the Wake Forest offense.

The Wolfpack are additionally right down to backup quarterbacks Jack Chambers and MJ Morris, after starter Devin Leary was misplaced for the season. With out Leary, N.C. State is averaging simply 16.6 factors per recreation. I don’t see the Wolfpack maintaining with Wake Forest’s potent offense on Saturday.

MEMPHIS (+3.5) over Central Florida

Memphis comes within the loser of three straight. If any staff wants a bye, it’s the Tigers. Memphis misplaced two shut, gut-wrenching video games to Houston and East Carolina. The Tigers wanted a psychological break and now return dwelling the place they've been rather more worthwhile beneath coach Ryan Silverfield.

The house staff has additionally dominated this collection over the past decade, going a exceptional 11-0 ATS. UCF’s beginning quarterback John Rhys Plumlee is questionable with an damage, so it may very well be backup Mikey Keene getting the beginning on the highway. I’ll again Memphis getting over a area objective at dwelling.

NOTRE DAME (+3.5) over Clemson

There aren’t many harder locations to play a university soccer recreation than in South Bend at evening. I believe Clemson is essentially the most overrated staff within the nation. The Tigers beat Wake Forest, Florida State and Syracuse every by six factors. I anticipate one other tight recreation on Saturday evening.

This isn’t an important Notre Dame staff by any means, however Clemson enters the sport with query marks at quarterback and is laying greater than a area objective in a hostile surroundings. To cite the good Lloyd Christmas in “Dumb and Dumber” — “I’m gonna go together with my instincts on this one.”

Saddle up, Notre Dame.

KANSAS (-1) over Oklahoma State

My sources have been cash with early quarterback info. Two weeks in the past, I heard Minnesota QB Tanner Morgan wouldn’t play. He didn’t, and Penn State lined. Final week, I heard Toledo QB Dequan Finn wouldn’t play. He didn’t, and Jap Michigan lined.

This week, I’m listening to Kansas QB Jalon Daniels is prone to return on Saturday. Daniels was a Heisman Trophy candidate earlier than getting injured towards TCU. Talking of accidents, Oklahoma State has been decimated, and that confirmed final week in a 48-0 trouncing at Kansas State. I’ll trip with the Jayhawks at dwelling.

Final week: 1-2. Jap Michigan (W), USC (L), Ohio State (L)
Season: 15-13-1.
