PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS AT RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS
December 5th – 12:00 pm ET – High Point Solutions Stadium
Penn State enters Saturday’s contest at High Point Solutions Stadium as 11.5-point favourites, despite having just one win in their opening six games. They have played three teams ranked in the top 25 though and will like their chances against Rutgers. The Nittany Lions are coming off a big win against Michigan last week and will be hoping their can build off the momentum.
Rutgers has two wins in the season thus far, including a victory last weekend against Purdue. However, the same team Penn State beat last week – Michigan – took down Rutgers the week prior.
Penn State should be able to get the job done on the road on Saturday afternoon, but it could be a closer contest than the bookmakers are predicting. Go with the visitors to win the game, but take the home team to cover the large spread.
PICKS: Rutgers
ODDS: Penn State (-11.5)
Over/Under: 55.5
SYRACUSE ORANGE AT NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH
December 5th– 2:30 pm ET – Notre Dame Stadium
Things could get out of hand in a hurry at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday afternoon with the Fighting Irish hosting a struggling Syracuse side. The Orange have allowed a combined total of 66 points in the last two games, and their opponents were nowhere near the level that the Fighting Irish are.
Notre Dame enter the contest as massive 33.5-point favourites, but with good reason considering they remain undefeated on the season. After taking down number three-ranked Clemson and number 19-ranked UNC in recent weeks, they will be looking forward to hosting the Orange.
The home side has no problems putting up points and should cover the spread quite easily. Go with the under though as Syracuse will not be putting up very many points at Notre Dame Stadium. They were shut out two weeks ago against Louisville and that could be the case again on Saturday.

ODDS: Notre Dame (-33.5)

INDIANA HOOSIERS AT WISCONSIN BADGERS
December 5th– 3:300 pm ET – Camp Randall Stadium
Indiana heads to Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday afternoon in one of the more entertaining contests of the weekend. The Hoosiers enter the game as the 12th-ranked team in the nation sitting at 5-1 and will look to improve that ranking against a very good football team in Wisconsin.
The Badgers have only played three games so far, but find themselves ranked 16th and in a good position to solidify their spot as a top team in the country. They suffered their first loss of the season two weeks ago against Northwestern in a tight affair, but have been out of action since. As a result, they will be well prepared and well rested for their test against the Hoosiers.
Despite being ranked higher though, Indiana enters Saturday’s game as 14.5-point underdogs and will certainly feel disrespected by bookmakers. Wisconsin has no business being favored by so many points and the smart money will be on Indiana this weekend.
PICKS: Indiana
ODDS: Wisconsin (-14.5)
Over/Under: 45.5
FLORIDA GATORS AT TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS
December 5th – 3:30 pm ET – Neyland Stadium
The Florida Gators have won five straight games, including a big victory against Georgia but still find themselves outside of the top five teams in the nation. They head to Tennessee to take on the Volunteers in the hopes that will change.
The Volunteers have just two wins all season and neither one came against a top ranked team. Unlike Florida, Tennessee is not entering Saturday’s contest in form as they have lost five straight. They have also dropped their last two home games as well.
The Gators are favoured by 16.5 points at Neyland Stadium, which actually seems quite low considering their records and recent run of form. Auburn beat the Volunteers by 13 points last week and they are nowhere near the Gators’ level. Go with the visitors to cover, with the under also worth laying money on.

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE AT LSU TIGERS
December 5th – 8:00 pm ET – Tiger Stadium
The Crimson Tide have been destroying their competition so far this year and don’t expect Saturday night’s contest at Tiger Stadium to be any different. Alabama currently sit at 8-0 after they destroyed the number 22-ranked team in the nation Auburn last weekend 42-13.
Despite their poor 3-4 record, LSU did manage to keep things close on the road against Texas A&M last week who is currently ranked fifth in the country. However, Alabama loves to blow out inferior opponents and that could very well be the case against the Tigers. This will be Alabama’s final regular season game of the year and they will be looking to send a message to the rest of the nation that they are the team to beat. Last season, LSU was the top ranked team when these two sides met and the Tigers pulled off the 46-41 victory. Expect the Crimson Tide to get their revenge on Saturday
