Top Week 7 college football predictions
One of the top college football picks the model is recommending for Week 7: No. 13 Ole Miss covers as a three-point road favorite at Tennessee in a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday. Former Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin returns to Knoxville for the first time as an opposing head coach in this one. That should get the Neyland Stadium crowd fired up, and Tennessee has shown a ton of life on offense the past two weeks as first-year head coach Josh Heupel’s squad has combined for a whopping 107 points in those games.
But those wins came against Missouri and South Carolina, and SportsLine’s model projects that Ole Miss will be able to outpace Tennessee at its own game. The Vols score 32 in the projections, but Ole Miss gets to 40, leading to the Rebels covering in 60 percent of simulations.
Another one of the college football predictions from the model: No. 2 Iowa keeps rolling and covers the 12.5-point spread at home against Purdue in a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The Hawkeyes are legitimate national title contenders after opening the season 6-0 and knocking off Penn State in a top-five clash last week. They’ve been covering machines as well, going 5-1 against the spread thus far.
Purdue is just 1-2 straight up in its last three games and hasn’t covered during that span. There’s not much in Purdue’s profile to suggest that the Boilermakers will be able to keep this one too competitive, and SportsLine’s model is projecting that the Hawkeyes cover in well over 60 percent of simulations.
How to make Week 7 college football picks
The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the Week 7 college football schedule, and it’s calling for a top-10 team to get a huge scare. You can only get every pick for every game at SportsLine.
