I notched my third winning week in a row thanks to Arizona State covering. I hope you got ASU at -4 like I did, if you had -5 or -6 it was a pretty horrific loss as Washington scored a garbage time TD down by 11 points as time expired.

South Alabama @ Tennessee

South Alabama has had a solid season under second year coach Kane Wommack, at 5-5 they’re one win away from their first bowl game in 5 years. Tennessee is also 5-5 and clearly the second best team in the SEC East. I think Tennessee is a little overrated based on beating one average team (Kentucky) and two pretty bad ones (Missouri and South Carolina) and should be favored by about a TD less than they are here.

South Alabama +27.5 -110 (2 units)

Purdue @ Northwestern

This game is actually going to be played at Wrigley Field, a few miles south of Northwestern’s usual stadium in Evanston. Despite having a former 5 star QB on the roster in Hunter Johnson, the Wildcats’ offense has spun out of control and they haven’t scored more than 14 points in their last 4 games. The Wildcats have a solid defense but Purdue has a top 10 passing game in the country and will roll over them.

Purdue -11 -110 ( unit)

Illinois @ Iowa

Few teams have had a stranger season than Iowa. I was quite high on the Hawkeyes in the preseason (I bet on them to win the Big Ten at +900) but things fell apart in a hurry when their good turnover luck disappeared. Illinois still harbors a faint chance at a bowl and their offense has improved enough under Michigan transfer Brandon Peters that I like their chances in what figures to be a low scoring affair (the total is a paltry 38.5). 

Illinois +12.5 -110 (1 unit)

Arizona @ Washington State

Arizona looked like the worst team in the Power Five for the first half of the season but has been much improved in the last few weeks. They beat Cal in a really ugly game and hung with USC and Utah, who are both much more talented than them. Washington State has had a decent season considering the circumstances but Arizona is closer to the pack in the Pac-12 than people realize.

Arizona +14.5 -110 (1 unit)
