Week 4 Predictions

Last Week:  7-6
This Season: 27-14

Thursday

#5 Clemson @ Georgia Tech

Clemson exercises their demons as Deshaun Watson and the Tigers offense finally play up to their potential.

Friday

USC @ #24 Utah

USC is slowly becoming a train wreck this season.  They have only scored 2 touchdowns in 2 games against power 5 schools.  Replacing their QB may help, but it won’t be enough against Utah.


Saturday

#12 Georgia @ #23 Ole Miss

Swag Kelly throw for 425 yards last week against Alabama, as the Tide needed 3 non-offensive touchowns to beat Ole Miss.  Look for him to light up the Georgia secondary.

#11 Wisconsin @ #8 Michigan State

Michigan State wins back to back big games as Tim O’Connor produces enough offense for the Spartans to win a slugfest.

#13 Florida State @ South Florida

Florida State bounces back after getting blowned out at Louisville last week.  Dalvin Cook finally gets going in t he victory.

East Carolina @ Virginia Tech

East Carolina has won 6 straight games agasint ACC opponents.  However, Virginia Tech is coming off of a 49-0 beat down of BC and should be ready to face the Pirates. 

#19 Florida @ #14 Tennessee

Florida has won 11 straights times against Tennessee including some improbable victories.  Until that changes, the Gators will be the pick in this rivalry.

Penn State @ #4 Michigan

Michigan has been able to put up points all season against inferior opponents and it will be no different against a Penn State team that struggled to beat Temple last week.

Pittsburgh @ North Carolina
North Carolina should be able to score against Pitt and look for Elijah Hood and Ryan Switzer to put up big numbers in this one.

BYU VS West Virginia (@ Washington D.C.)

West Virginia continues their undefeated season as they beat a BYU team that has yet to score 20 points this season.

#18 LSU @ Auburn

LSU has struggled throwing the ball this season, but they still have Leonard Fournette. His coming out party was against Auburn last season, and he should have a great game again on Saturday.

Oklahoma State @ #16 Baylor

If it wasn’t for a controversial call, Oklahoma State would be undefeated and ranked going into this game.  Baylor’s offense has not looked as high powered as it has been in the past few years, and Ok State will be able to score against Baylor’s defense.

#7 Stanford @ UCLA

Stanford has won 2 impressive games this season over USC and Kansas State without lighting up the scoreboard.  They will do that again as they beat UCLA in a game that isn’t as close as the score indicates. 

#17 Arkansas VS #10 Texas A&M (Arlington TX)

Arkansas had a huge win 2 weeks ago over TCU where they controlled the game until a furious 4th quarter rally by TCU.  They have an outstanding offensive line which should be enough to stop A&M’s strength, their dline, from controlling the game.

California @ Arizona State

Cal is coming off of an upset victory at home against Texas last weekend.  Cal has been able to put up huge scoring numbers all season, and should continue against a weak Arizona State defense. 

#9 Washington @ Arizona

Washington has not been tested all season and has been severely overhyped.  They will struggle on offense as Arizona upsets them
