The Week 7 college football schedule brings some of the best matchups of the season. None are bigger than the top-five showdown between No. 3 Oregon and No. 2 Ohio State, who are meeting as Big Ten foes foes the first time. The latest Week 7 college football odds via SportsLine consensus list the Buckeyes as 3-point road favorites. The SEC features a pair of top-20 matchups as No. 1 Texas and No. 18 Oklahoma (+15.5) meet in the 2024 Red River Rivalry, while No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 13 LSU (+3.5) battle in a crucial matchup for teams that both took an early-season loss.

No. 8 Tennessee (-14.5) is looking to bounce back from its loss against Arkansas as the Vols host Florida, while another intriguing new Big Ten matchup, No. 4 Penn State vs. USC (+3.5), is the 3:30 p.m. ET CBS matchup. Before locking in any Week 7 college football picks on those games or others, be sure to see the latest college football predictions from SportsLine's proven model.

The model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college spread football picks, and is 8-4 on top-rated picks over the past two weeks of this season. Anyone who has followed it has seen strong returns. 

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest college football odds and Week 7 college football betting lines on the spreadmoney line and over/underHead here to see every pick.

Top college football predictions for Week 7 

One of the college picks the model is high on during Week 7: No. 11 Notre Dame (-22.5) cruises to a blowout win over Stanford in a 3:30 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday. It's already been a rollercoaster season for the Irish, who earned a big win over Texas A&M on the road to begin the year but then lost at home to NIU the following week. However, Notre Dame rebounded for dominant wins over Purdue and Miami (OH), then earned a 31-24 win over No. 15 Louisville two weeks ago.

Now the Irish are coming off a bye week to host Stanford and the Cardinal are coming off losses of 26 points to Clemson and 24 points to Virginia Tech. The Stanford passing attack has only averaged 5.8 yards per attempt this season and it is bound to have problems with a loaded Notre Dame defense. That is a big reason why the model predicts that the Irish cover in nearly 60% of simulations. See the rest of its Week 7 college football picks here. 

Another prediction: Vanderbilt covers as a 12.5-point road underdog against Kentucky at 7:45 p.m. ET on Saturday. Vanderbilt is now 4-1 against the spread this season and the Commodores stunned top-ranked Alabama last week, easily covering as a 22.5-point underdog and cashing a whopping +1090 on the money line. 

Two weeks prior to the Alabama win, Vanderbilt took a ranked Missouri team to overtime and had no problem covering as 18-point underdogs in that one. SportsLine's model is predicting a one-score game in Lexington as the Commodores cover in more than 60% of simulations. See picks for every other game in Week 7 here.
