Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on October 4, 2023

No. 4 Ohio State is coming off a much-needed bye following its last-second win over then-No. 9 Notre Dame two weeks ago. The Buckeyes will be looking to stay unbeaten when they host Maryland on Saturday during the Week 6 college football schedule. They are 18.5-point favorites in the Week 6 college football odds from SportsLine consensus. Maryland improved to 5-0 with a 44-17 win over Indiana last week, scoring 30-plus points for the fifth straight game.

The Terrapins are one of many double-digit underdogs in the Week 6 college football spreads. Which underdogs should you include in your Week 6 college football bets? Before locking in any Week 6 college football picks on those games or others, be sure to see the latest college football predictions from SportsLine’s proven model.

Top college football predictions for Week 6

One of the college football picks the model is recommending for Saturday: Oklahoma (+6.5) stays within the spread against Texas in a noon ET kickoff at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The Sooners have the third-ranked scoring offense in college football this season, averaging 47.4 points per game. They have won all five of their games by at least two touchdowns, including a 50-20 rout against Iowa State last week.

Meanwhile, Texas is sitting outside the top 25 in scoring offense, and it has dropped four of the last five head-to-head meetings between these teams. The Longhorns have been fortunate to face several struggling offenses this season, but that will not be the case on Saturday. SportsLine’s model expects Oklahoma to have a chance to win this game outright, as the Sooners are covering the spread in more than 60% of simulations for the 2023 Red River Showdown.

Another prediction: Georgia (-14.5) easily covers the spread against Kentucky in a 7 p.m. ET kickoff at Sanford Stadium. The Bulldogs have had to rally from double-digit deficits twice in the last three weeks to extend their winning streak to 20 games. They have won 13 consecutive games against Kentucky though, including a double-digit road win last season.

Star tight end Brock Bowers had eight receptions for 157 yards against Auburn last week, and wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four passes in his first game since returning from a back injury. Georgia can beat opponents through the air and on the ground, while Kentucky has a one-dimensional offense. The Bulldogs have championship pedigree, confidence and motivation, which are all reasons why they are covering the spread in well over 60% of the model’s latest simulations.
