College Football Week 14 Expert Picks

The Michigan State Spartans are 7-1 straight up and 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games coming off an ATS win the week before. Michigan State will try to lock up the Big Ten championship and a playoff spot this Saturday when they take on the Iowa Hawkeyes at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Michigan State is a 3.5-point favorite against Iowa according to online sportsbook Sportsbook. Iowa has had an excellent season going undefeated to this point, but it hasn't faced a team of Michigan State's caliber.

The Spartans are finally playing to their potential on defense and are 3-0 SU and ATS since losing their first game of the season to Nebraska. Look for Michigan State to earn another win and cover in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Crimson Tide the Pick Against Gators This Week

Alabama is now a 17.5-point favorite over Florida, and that spread still isn't high enough. Florida's offense hasn't been able to find success against Vanderbilt, Florida Atlantic, or Florida State in recent weeks; how will it do so against Alabama's shutdown defense?

Derrick Henry will wear down the Gators defense and lead the Crimson Tide to a big victory in the SEC title game. Alabama is 8-1 ATS in its last nine games against Florida.

The USC Trojans named Clay Helton their full-time coach earlier this week, and the players are extremely pumped up about the announcement. I wouldn't be surprised if they carried that excitement into an upset win in the Pac-12 Championship Game against Stanford.

While the Cardinal were being pushed to the edge last week against Notre Dame, USC cruised to an easy victory over UCLA. The Trojans are 4-2 SU and ATS in their last six games as an underdog of five points or less. Take the points in this one.

Favored San Diego State the Play in the MWC

San Diego State is 8-0 SU and ATS in its last eight games and 11-0 ATS in its last 11 Mountain West Conference games. Those trends should continue when San Diego State picks up a win at home over Air Force as a 4.5-point favorite on Saturday.

Lastly, take Temple +6 against Houston. Temple's strong defense should keep the Cougars in check on offense and keep the AAC Championship Game close.
