(Saturday, October 19th) – LSU Vs Mississippi St
(Vegas LSU -17.5 ) (Game Picker LSU by 19.93 )
LSU has played a tougher schedule than Miss St but has an edge in every statistical category. These are two teams going in different directions. Miss St lost to a horrible Tennessee team this past week. LSU meanwhile took care of a really good Florida squad. LSU’s 2nd ranked pass offense should have no problem moving the ball against the 67th ranked pass defense of Miss St. Miss St has some injuries in their defensive backfield. LSU’s only “weakness” this year has been it’s 60th ranked pass defense. Miss St only ranks 107th in passing offense and won’t be able to expose LSU’s defensive backfield. Look for LSU to cover the spread in this one.
(Saturday, October 19th) – N Carolina Vs Virginia Tech
(Vegas N Carolina -3 ) (Game Picker N Carolina by 17.64 )
North Carolina (19th ranked strength of schedule) has played a much more difficult schedule than VA Tech (98th ranked strength of schedule) but leads in every statistical category. North Carolina’s 43rd ranked pass offense will be able to move the ball on VA Tech’s 93rd ranked pass defense. North Carolina has been surprisingly strong on defense nearly pulling the upset on Clemson two weeks ago. VA Tech meanwhile has been very average on offense against weak opponents.

(Saturday, October 19th) – Missouri Vs Vanderbilt
(Vegas Missouri -21 ) (Game Picker Missouri by 28.29 )

Missouri has been extremely solid on both sides of the ball will be able to move the ball at will against Vanderbilt while shutting down Vanderbilt’s woeful offense with it’s 30th ranked rush defense and it’s 10th ranked pass defense. Look for Missouri to cover the spread in this one.
