In a night cup, four more ranked versus ranked matchups this weekend, including No. 8 TCU against No. 17 Kansas State.. 8 Oklahoma State in double overtime last week. Before pin Week 8, college football picks on these games or others.
Profit of nearly $3,000 for $100 players on their best college football picks against the spread. Eight college football odds and has locked down picks for every FBS game. Head here to see each option.
One of the colleges picks the model features prominently in Week 8: No. 5 Clemson (-13) gets a blowout and still covers the 4.5-point gap.
Clemson's offense has improved a lot this season, having put up at least 30 points in its seven games. Junior quarterback DJ Uiagalelei threw for 1,665 yards, 17 touchdowns and just two interceptions.
The Tigers have one of the most balanced offenses in the country, with running back Will Shipley averaging 5.9 yards per carrying on 96 attempts.
Uiagalelei has over 300 rushing yards in recent sims, while Shipley adds nearly 80 rushing yards. They have too much firepower for Syracuse, so Clemson covers almost 60% of the time.
Another of the model's top college football picks, Iowa (+29), keeps things close enough to cover the stretch of road when they take on No. 2 Ohio State at noon ET.
This is a potential cheat game for the Buckeyes, who are coming off a win at Michigan State last week and have a matchup at No. 16 Penn State next week. They only have two ranked opponents left on their schedule, so they may not be fully invested in this game.
Iowa's offense continues to struggle, but they must pace themselves and play good defense to stay in that big number.
The Hawkeyes limited Illinois to just nine points in their last game, and the Illini have scored at least 20 points in their other six games this season. It's a good spot on the schedule for Iowa, which had a week off after its game against Illinois.
The Hawkeyes don't mind playing away from home, covering eight of their last ten road games. SportsLine's model expects this trend to pay dividends again on Saturday, as Iowa covers the spread more than 60% of the time.
The model also called on who wins and covers in all other Week 8 FBS matchups, saying a top-20 favorite will go down hard. He alone can get all the picks for each game on SportsLine.
