College football picks, predictions against the spread for every Week 10 top 25 game.
November is here, and the College Football Playoff race heats up with two top-10 showdowns in Week 10.
No. 5 Georgia and No. 8 Florida meet at 3:30 p.m. ET in a SEC East showdown that will likely determine who represents the division in the SEC championship game. No. 1 Clemson won't have Trevor Lawrence for a 7:30 p.m. showdown at No. 4 Notre Dame, which is the biggest leg in the ACC championship race.
There are two more games between ranked teams on the schedule. No. 9 BYU visits No. 21 Boise State at 9:45 p.m. Friday, and No. 23 Michigan faces No. 13 Indiana on the road at noon Saturday.
It's the first full Saturday of the 2020 college football season knowing that the Pac-12 is back in action. We're looking for a third straight week with a winning record against the spread.
Here's a look at our full-season results:
Last week: 15-4 S/U, 11-8 ATS.
Overall: 90-29 S/U, 58-54 ATS.
Top 25: 80-24 S/U, 53-50 ATS.
Now, a look at our picks against the spread for Week 10:
Week 10 picks against the spread.
Thursday, Nov. 5.
No. 18 SMU (-13.5) at Temple.
The Mustangs are 3-1 ATS when favored by double digits this season, and Temple has struggled through another stop and start season. Look for the Mustangs to perform better on the road than they did against Tulane on Oct. 16.
Pick: SMU wins 38-21 and COVERS the spread.
Friday, Nov. 6.
Miami (-9.5) at N.C. State.
The line ticked up from its open and could stretch into the double digits. Both teams had a bye week to prepare, and the Wolfpack are at home. N.C. State has to be better against the run than it was in a blowout loss to North Carolina in order to give backup quarterback Bailey Hockman a chance. We'll take the home dog and the points.
Pick: Miami wins 27-19 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 9 BYU (-3) at No. 21 Boise State.
The Broncos opened as a three-point favorite, but the line has shifted in the other direction. Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier did not travel with the team last week, and backup quarterback Jack Sears tossed three TDs in his place. BYU, meanwhile, has a Heisman Trophy contender in Zach Wilson. This is the first real test for the Cougars. BYU won 28-25 in this matchup last year.
Pick: BYU wins 35-31 and COVERS the spread.
Saturday, Nov. 7.
No. 23 Michigan (-3) at No. 13 Indiana.
The Hoosiers have not beat the Wolverines since 1987, but this might be the chance to do it. Two of the past three meetings in Bloomington have been one-score games, and Michael Penix Jr.'s will test Michigan's corners. The Wolverines, however, will build enough around the running game to get out with a victory.
Pick: Michigan wins 31-24 and COVERS the spread.
Arizona State at No. 20 USC (-11.5)
It's the Pac-12 opener for both teams and an excellent quarterback battle between Jayden Daniels and Kedon Slovis. The early start adds to the intrigue. The teams have split the past two meetings by a combined total of eight points.
Pick: USC wins 34-28 and FAILS TO COVER the spread.
West Virginia at No. 22 Texas (-7.5)
The Longhorns and Mountaineers are still alive in the hunt for a Big 12 championship berth. These teams have played shootouts the past two years, and this won't be an exception. Texas is 1-3 ATS as a favorite this season.
Pick: Texas wins 35-31 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 25 Liberty at Virginia Tech (-14.5)
The Flames are the ranked team, but they are huge underdogs against the Hokies. Liberty is scoring 38 points per game, so even if the Hokies turn this into a shootout we think the Flames can keep it within that big number.
Pick: Virginia Tech wins 37-30 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
UMass at No. 16 Marshall (-44.5)
The Minutemen have a three-game schedule, and they lost 41-0 to Georgia Southern three weeks ago. Marshall is not any easier, but that is simply too many points to be laying in any game.
Pick: Marshall wins 48-6 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 5 Georgia (-5) vs. No. 8 Florida.
This is Florida's chance to shake up the SEC East order, and Kyle Trask has passed for at least four TDs in all the Gators' game this season. Trask played in last year's game, too. All that said, we have concerns about Florida's defense against Georgia's methodical style.
Pick: Georgia wins 33-26 and COVERS the spread.
Houston at No. 6 Cincinnati (-11)
The Bearcats are 3-2 against the spread, but they have covered in impressive fashion the past two weeks. Cincinnati is starting to get some Playoff consideration. Three different Bearcats have at least 200 yards rushing this season in Desmond Ridder, Gerrid Doaks and Jerome Ford. U-C keeps rolling.
Pick: Cincinnati wins 38-24 and COVERS the spread.
Kansas at No. 19 Oklahoma (-37)
Oklahoma has settled down around quarterback Spencer Rattler, and the Jayhawks have given up 50-plus points each of the past two weeks. It's a matter of whether Kansas can produce enough offense for a back-door cover.
Pick: Oklahoma wins 56-17 and COVERS the spread.
No. 14 Oklahoma State (-10) at Kansas State.
The Wildcats and Cowboys both flopped last week, but Oklahoma State remains a double-digit favorite on the road. Three of the past five meetings have been one-score games, however, and we expect this game to follow that trend.
Pick: Oklahoma State wins 31-28 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 7 Texas A&M (-8.5) at South Carolina.
The Gamecocks are inconsistent, but they have split two close home games with Tennessee and Auburn. Texas A&M is 6-0 all time against the Gamecocks, but the past two in Columbia have been close.
Pick: Texas A&M wins 28-26 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
Baylor at No. 17 Iowa State (-13)
The Bears are struggling to generate enough offense, but their three losses are by an average of nine points per game. The Cyclones remain in the Big 12 championship picture, and they are 2-2 ATS as a favorite this season.
Pick: Iowa State wins 35-24 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 1 Clemson (-5.5) at No. 4 Notre Dame.
The Tigers will try to upend Notre Dame with backup quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei. On the other side, it's a chance for Ian Book to earn a signature victory on an under-appreciated career. Look for Clemson's defense to be the key in the second half. It's the Tigers' first single-digit spread of the season.
Pick: Clemson wins 31-22 and COVERS the spread.
Rutgers at No. 3 Ohio State (-37)
Former Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano knows the Buckeyes' personnel well, and Rutgers has improved on both sides of the ball. Ohio State's average margin of victory in six previous meetings is 46.5 points per game.
Pick: Ohio State wins 45-10 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
Stanford at No. 12 Oregon (-11.5)
Oregon broke a three-game losing streak to the Cardinal last season, and the Ducks are projected to be a Playoff contender in the Pac-12. It's going to take a few weeks for Joe Moorhead's offense to develop, but the defense won't have that problem.
Pick: Oregon wins 33-17 and COVERS the spread.
South Alabama at No. 15 Coastal Carolina (-15.5)
The Chanticleers are emerging as one of the darlings of the 2020 football season, and they are 5-1 ATS this season. This is their first double-digit line as a favorite, and the Jaguars are 2-2 ATS as an underdog. We're going to stick with the hot teams.
Pick: Coastal Carolina wins 38-21 and COVERS the spread.
College football odds, picks, predictions for Week 15, 2020: Proven model backing Miami, Auburn.
Derek Mason Vanderbilt.
The Week 15 college football schedule has felt the impact of COVID-19 with more than 10 games either cancelled or postponed. But there's still a lot to evaluate on the Week 15 college football odds board. William Hill Sportsbook lists top-ranked Alabama as a 32-point favorite against Arkansas, while No. 9 Georgia is laying 13.5 points against No. 25 Missouri. Should you target either of those SEC matchups in your Week 15 college football bets?
Before taking on Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game next week, No. 14 Northwestern has a 14-point edge against Illinois this Saturday. And in one of the most historic rivalry matchups in the nation, Army is -7.5 against Navy in a 3 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS. Before locking in any Week 15 college football picks on those games or others, be sure to see the latest college football predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past four-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of over $3,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It is a sizzling 50-31 on all top-rated picks through 14 weeks of the 2020 college football season, returning almost $700 in profit already. Anybody who has followed it is way up.
Now, it has turned its attention to the latest college football odds for Week 15 from William Hill and locked in picks for every FBS matchup. Head here to see every pick.
Top Week 15 college football predictions.
One of the top Week 15 college football picks the model is recommending: No. 10 Miami (FL) (-3) covers at home against North Carolina in a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday. The one-loss Hurricanes still have an outside shot at the College Football Playoff, but they'll need to win convincingly in this one to remain in that conversation. They've won and covered in two straight, including as 14.5-point favorites over Duke in an impressive 48-0 blowout in their last outing.
UNC, meanwhile, has put up big offensive numbers but has struggled defensively. The Tar Heels are also just 1-3 ATS in their last four games. Miami quarterback D'Eriq King throws for almost 300 yards and three touchdowns in the simulations as the Hurricanes cover in well over 60 percent of simulations. The under (67.5), meanwhile, hits almost 60 percent of the time.
Another one of the top Week 15 college football predictions from the model: The Auburn Tigers go on the road and cover a 6.5-point spread against Mississippi State in a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff in the SEC West on Saturday. Despite dropping games against top-10 teams, Alabama and Texas A&M, in their last two outings, the Tigers still have had a strong defense this season. They rank fifth in the SEC in scoring defense (25.2 ppg) and, perhaps more importantly, fourth in passing defense (239.7 ppg).
That is a critical stat against Mike Leach's Air Raid offense, which has had its moments this season, but hasn't consistently produced points. Despite ranking fourth in the league in passing, MSU comes in to this matchup 13th in scoring offense at just 18.3 points per game. The simulations show Auburn holding the Bulldogs to just 15 points as the Tigers pick up the cover almost 70 percent of the time. The under (49) also hits well over 60 percent of the time.
How to make Week 15 college football picks.
The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other Week 15 FBS matchup, and it is calling for an upset in the ACC in a game where the line is way off. You can only get every pick for every game at SportsLine.
So what college football picks can you make with confidence in Week 15? And which underdog should you be all over? Check out the latest Week 15 college football odds for some of the week's most notable games below, then visit SportsLine to see which teams win and cover the spread, all from a proven computer model that has returned over $3,500 in profit over the past four-plus seasons, and find out.

Now, a look at our picks against the spread for Week 15:
Week 15 picks against the spread.
Saturday, Dec. 12.
No. 12 Georgia (-13) at Missouri.
The Tigers have been a pleasant surprise in the SEC under first-year coach Eli Drinkwitz. Georgia quarterback J.T. Daniels has thrown just one interception in two starts, but he will be tested by Missouri's pass defense, which ranks third in the SEC.
Pick: Georgia wins 30-20 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 9 Alabama (-31) at Arkansas.
The Crimson Tide are 7-2 ATS this season, and they have covered in five straight games. Alabama has won the past three meetings by an average of 32.3 points per game. Arkansas lost to Georgia by 27 and Florida by 28. Will the Crimson Tide tap the breaks in the second half ahead of the SEC championship game?
Pick: Alabama wins 44-14 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 13 Oklahoma (-12.5) at West Virginia.
The line has jumped up two points from its open, and the Sooners have one last tune-up before another Big 12 championship game. The Mountaineers are 2-2 ATS as an underdog, but they are coming off an ugly 42-6 loss to Iowa State.
Pick: Oklahoma wins 38-21 and COVERS the spread.
Illinois at No. 15 Northwestern (-13.5)
The Illini are 3-2 ATS as an underdog this season and just missed covering in a two-touchdown loss to the Wildcats last week. Northwestern has won the past five meetings by an average of 18.6 points per game. The Wildcats roll into the Big Ten championship game with momentum here.
Pick: Northwestern wins 31-15 and COVERS the spread.
Akron at No. 24 Buffalo (-32)
The Bulls averaged the most points in the FBS at 50.1 points per game, and over a normal full season running back Jaret Patterson would get more Heisman hype. This feels like Akron can put together a few scoring drives to offset the high spread. We would stay away if we could.
Pick: Buffalo wins 47-17 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 11 Coastal Carolina (-13.5) at Troy.
Coastal Carolina can complete a perfect season with two more victories, and it is best to just keep riding that wave. The Chanticleers are 8-2 ATS, and the Trojans lost in blowout fashion to BYU and Appalachian State this season.
Pick: Coastal Carolina wins 38-17 and COVERS the spread.
No. 20 North Carolina at No. 9 Miami (-3.5)
Miami will not play in the ACC championship game, but the Hurricanes are on track for a New Year's Day Six Bowl bid. The Tar Heels beat Miami 28-25 in a nail-biter in 2019. This one goes the other way.
Pick: Miami wins 35-31 and COVERS the spread.
No. 25 Wisconsin at No. 19 Iowa (-1.5)
Wisconsin's season has been derailed by COVID-19 pauses, and the offense sputtered in losses to Northwestern and Indiana. The Badgers have won four in a row in this series, however, and they pull out another one here in a nail-biter.
Pick: Wisconsin wins 21-20 in an UPSET.
LSU at No. 6 Florida (-24)
Florida has one more test before the SEC championship game against Alabama, and it's up against an LSU defense that allowed a total of 103 points in losses to the Crimson Tide and Auburn. How much will the Gators tack on? The line might come down a bit to add value, but it's a concern that Florida has not covered the past three weeks.
Pick: Florida wins 35-17 but FAILS TO COVER the spread.
No. 16 USC (-4) at UCLA.
USC remains unbeaten, and in any other season that would come with top-five billing or better. Clay Helton and Chip Kelly have split the past two meetings, and this one should be close considering how well the Bruins are playing.
Pick: USC wins 30-24 and COVERS the spread.
Utah at No. 21 Colorado (-1.5)
The Buffs are a surprise unbeaten team, and they have won two of those four games by double digits. Utah can spoil that on the road. It will come down to which quarterback — Sam Noyer or Jake Bentley — avoids the big mistake in the fourth quarter. The Utes pull a small upset here.
Pick: Utah wins 27-21 in an UPSET.
San Diego State at No. 14 BYU (-15)
BYU looks to bounce back after losing to Coastal Carolina, but the Cougars can cap off a 10-win season against the Aztecs. San Diego State lost by 10 to Colorado in its only game as an underdog this season. Zach Wilson tacks on big points in the home finale.
Pick: BYU wins 44-20 and COVERS the spread.
