College Football Predictions: 5 Teams That Will Cover the Spread in Week 7

For the sake of being completely transparent, our picks against the spread have gone 8-2 on the season and we are advising you to pay close attention this week.

We've shifted our focus towards the Big Ten in Week 7, where at first glance, there appear to be a few highly questionable point spreads.

Let's dive in and see if we can't churn out a third consecutive 4-1 week...

Michigan State (-2.5) vs. Michigan

With the exception of a miracle fourth quarter explosion against Notre Dame in Week 2, what have the Wolverines really proven?  Nothing.

Meanwhile, the Spartans enter this week's contest with the number one ranked defense in the country—one that nearly shutout Ohio State two weeks ago.

Michigan had to come from behind to pull one out on the road at Northwestern last week, while MSU was resting comfortably at home during their bye week—most likely scheming various ways to force Denard Robinson to beat them with his arm, not his legs.

The Spartans have beaten the Wolverines three straight times in the series and this is just the second road game for Michigan this season.

Final Score:  Michigan State 27 Michigan 20

Penn State (-12) vs. Purdue

Yes, we know star wide receiver Derek Moye broke his foot and will not be available for the game versus the Boilermakers on Saturday.

We also know that Purdue has played just one road game this year, a 24-22 loss at Rice.

Wait, what?  Rice?  Yes, Rice.

If Purdue is losing by two at Rice, they are not losing by less than two touchdowns in a hostile environment that is anything but a "Happy Valley" for the visitors.  

The Boilers will be lucky to score in this one.

Final Score:  Penn State 27 Purdue 6  

Wisconsin (-39.5) vs. Indiana

83-20.

That was the score of the Wisconsin versus Indiana game last year.  A game that was played AT Indiana.

This year?  Wisconsin is better and Indiana is worse.

What else is there to say?

Final Score:  Wisconsin 63 Indiana 10

LSU (-17) vs. Tennessee

Let's see, Florida beat Tennessee by 10 and LSU beat Florida by 30.

I know this rationale isn't exactly rocket science, but come on, a 17-point spread?

This is a huge mismatch from a talent perspective, and you know Les Miles won't have any problem running up the score—especially once he realizes the first BCS Poll will be released on Sunday.

Final Score:  LSU 34 Tennessee 10

Oklahoma (-35.5) vs. Kansas

How do you say "not enough points" in Spanish?

Who cares?  This is simply not enough, not NEARLY enough points.

Shouldn't this spread be more like 53?  

Oklahoma will likely score a touchdown on every single possession in this game and if you saw their defense last week against Texas, well, Kansas fans should probably just stay at Midnight Madness all weekend as opposed to actually going to this game.

Final Score:  Oklahoma 59 Kansas 6
