Pittsburgh +12.5 vs. Notre Dame (-115)
"The Fighting Irish have been rolling since starting the season 0-2, winning seven straight by an average of 28.5 points. This is Notre Dame's last real test of the season and probably the only game standing between the Irish and the College Football Playoff. Pitt is an interesting team. The Panthers lost two straight games in September to West Virginia and Louisville," SportsLine college football expert Thomas Casale said. "Since then, Pitt has rattled off five consecutive wins. Granted, the competition hasn't been overly tough, but the Panthers are playing their best football of the season and have the luxury of coming off a bye week. This is Pitt's Super Bowl. I think the Panthers put up a fight at home, so I'll grab the 10.5 points."
Iowa +6.5 vs. USC (-108)
Iowa is averaging only 295.8 yards of offense per game in Big Ten play, but is still 4-2 in the conference with the two losses coming to Indiana and Oregon in hard-fought games. The Hawkeyes a way of dragging even explosive offenses into the mud with them and then using their own defense and special teams to create scoring opportunities or even points of their own. The model says that Iowa covers in 57% of simulations.
Texas +6.5 vs. Georgia (-115)
You don't have to be dominant at the outset in this new era of college football, it's more about when you hit your peak. Texas has been able to grind out three wins in a row in one-possession games and Arch Manning has played his best football over the last two weeks, throwing for 674 yards and six touchdowns while only throwing one interception. Meanwhile, the Georgia defense struggled to defend against Joey Aguilar and Ty Simpson, two of the SEC's other top statistical quarterbacks. That's a big reason why the model has Texas covering in 60% of simulations.
