NCAA Football Week 7 Predictions

Kansas suffered their first defeat of the season last week to the TCU Horned Frogs, but there could be value in backing the Jayhawks as the underdogs to bounce back from that loss. Oklahoma just lost 49-0 to the Texas Longhorns and the Sooners have been shaky enough this season for us to believe that Kansas can pull off the upset.

Michigan have been blowing teams out of the water this season but they have looked vulnerable on occasion and Penn State could be the team to knock them down. The Nittany Lions are having a great season and at their current price, they look worth backing.

Alabama narrowly squeezed past the Texas A&M Aggies last weekend and now must travel to Tennessee to take on the red-hot Volunteers team. Tennessee will know that victory here could put them in contention for a place in the college football playoffs, but the occasion could be too much for them and the Crimson Tide’s experience is expected to make the difference in this one.

Oklahoma State survived a scare against the Texas Tech Red Raiders last week but could be in danger this week against TCU. The Horned Frogs are having a terrific season and did well to edge past the Kansas Jayhawks last weekend. With home-field advantage, TCU look poised to stay unbeaten.

Vanderbilt’s defense have seriously struggled this season, allowing at least 28 points in each of their last five games and 50+ points in their last two. Now they have to take on national champions Georgia, and the Bulldogs should be able to dominate the Commodores on their way to an easy win.

It’s been a middling season for both of these teams but it’s the Gators who could be celebrating on Saturday. Florida have looked like a more complete team than LSU have this year, and with the game taking place on their turf, the Gators’ fans could power their side to victory.

Clemson have looked every bit the candidates for a place in the college football playoffs, and can further highlight their credentials with a victory over Florida State. The Seminoles are on a two-game slide after defeats to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the NC State Wolfpack, and the Tigers present an even tougher challenge for Mike Norvell’s team.

Mississippi State have looked impressive in their last three games but that run of wins could come to an end when they face Kentucky. The Wildcats made a solid start to the season before slips against the Ole Miss Rebels and the South Carolina Gamecocks. However, Kentucky have plenty of quality in their locker room and as the underdog, there is value in backing the Wildcats.

USC and Utah will contest what could be the game of the Pac-12 season so far, with the 6-0 Trojans set as the underdogs. Utah have been rock-solid all season but slipped up against the UCLA Bruins last week which was a major blow to Kyle Whittingham’s team. They certainly have the talent to bounce back, but USC have a plethora of talent at their disposal and are worth siding with to maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
