Our Week 7 CFB Picks
Andrew Olson
Jalen Milroe, Alabama QB: Higher than 242.5 pass yards
South Carolina’s defense had that amazing game against Kentucky, but since then, Garrett Nussmeier and Jaxson Dart have posted productive passing numbers. In 2 SEC games, Milroe has been good for 12 yards per attempt. I like him to produce on Saturday.
Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt QB: Higher than 44.5 rush yards
It’s Diego Pavia’s world and we’re just living in it. Pavia has rushed for 140 yards in 2 SEC contests so far. Kentucky plays tough defense, especially at home, but I see Pavia getting his yards on the ground.
Elijhah Badger, Florida WR: Higher than 43.5 receiving yards
For all his faults, Billy Napier has done well finding wide receivers in the portal. Badger has somewhat quietly become Florida’s leading receiver in the ongoing absence of Eugene Wilson III. I expect both Gator quarterbacks to be looking Badger’s way Saturday night.
Adam Spencer
Quinn Ewers, Texas QB: Higher than 252.5 pass yards
Look for Ewers to make his return from injury with a bang. The Oklahoma-Texas rivalry always seems to produce plenty of offense. I like Ewers to throw early and often and reach 253 passing yards before all is said and done, even against this stout Oklahoma defense.
Dylan Sampson, Tennessee RB: Higher than 109.5 rush yards
Can anyone stop Sampson? There might be a defense out there that can, but I don’t think it’s Florida. Look for Sampson to get plenty of work and surpass the century mark with relative ease on Saturday night on Rocky Top.
Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State RB: Higher than 64.5 rush yards
Oregon-Ohio State should be a great game. These defenses are both really good, but the Ducks have been susceptible to the run this season. I like Judkins to make a couple of big plays on the ground and finish with 65+ rush yards in the intense Autzen Stadium environment.
Our Week 6 NFL Picks
Andrew Olson
Jalen Tolbert, Dallas Cowboys WR: Higher than 44.5 receiving yards
Tolbert looks to have established himself as WR2 in Dallas behind CeeDee Lamb. Tolbert is coming off his best game yet and has a good opportunity to stay hot against a Detroit Lions defense that is 27th in passing yards allowed.
Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders QB: Higher than 228.5 pass yards
There’s a reason this line is above Daniels’ average per game (227). He’s about to face a Baltimore team that ranks last in passing defense after giving up 392 passing yards to the Bengals. I like Daniels to up his season average.
Adam Spencer
Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears QB: Higher than 241.5 pass yards
Williams found a groove last week, throwing for more than 300 yards against an awful Carolina Panthers team. The Jaguars have a better defense than the Panthers, but they are still giving up a ton of yards through the air. The No. 1 overall pick should be good for 242+ yards through the air in London on Sunday morning.
Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns QB: Lower than 190.5 pass yards
Does Watson even want to play football anymore? It sure doesn’t look like it. He only managed to throw for 125 yards against a Washington defense that hadn’t really stopped any opposing QBs prior to last Sunday. The Eagles are a better defense overall, so Watson should make it 3-straight games without reaching 191 pass yards.
