NCAAF Week 10 Preview

Good morning,

Let’s dive in…

Developing Stories 📰

Week 10 of college football is  here and November signals the late stages of the college football season, where the path to the final four-team playoff, exciting bowl destinations, and potential program overhauls become clear. In the upcoming four weeks, we'll witness pivotal conference clashes across the country, with entertainment and national significance at the forefront.

In the 'Big Noon' slot at noon ET on Fox, Kansas State takes on No. 6 Texas. This contest is vital in the wide-open Big 12 race with five teams tied at 4-1. The Longhorn are fresh from a convincing victory over Brigham Young, face the impressive Wildcats who secured their third consecutive double-digit win with a 41-0 victory over Houston. While Texas QB Quinn Ewers may remain sidelined with a shoulder injury, Maalik Murphy leads the offense. The Wildcats have an accomplished secondary, pose a formidable challenge. Wildcats QB Will Howard, supported by RBs D.J. Giddens and Treshaun Ward, faces a Longhorns defense led by LB Jaylan Ford. This game may not feature fireworks, but ball security will be paramount for both teams to avoid multi-score deficits and potential rallies.

At 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS, No. 14 Missouri takes on No. 1 Georgia. This SEC showdown features another set of Tigers, eager to challenge the two-time defending champion Bulldogs. Georgia's impressive victory against Florida last week, despite missing standout TE Brock Bowers, showcased QB Carson Beck's prowess, and having WR Ladd McConkey back in the lineup adds depth. Mizzou's DE Darius Robinson and Johnny Walker aim to disrupt Georgia's backfield, but finding openings against the top-10 Georgia defense won't be easy. Mizzou's QB Brady Cook, WR Luther Burden III, and RB Cody Schrader have their work cut out for them against LB Smael Mondon and the Georgia defense. The outcome will likely become evident early, revealing whether this will be a competitive clash or a testament to Georgia's championship form.

Kicking off this lineup is a prime-time showdown in the City of Los Angeles, featuring No. 5 Washington versus No. 22 Southern California at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Expect a high-flying offensive battle with both aiming to put on an aerial display. USC's Caleb Williams and Washington's Michael Penix Jr. have combined for an impressive 49 touchdown passes. Their liking for taking risks due to defensive vulnerabilities could open the door for interceptions, with players like Trojans DB Calen Bullock and Washington CB Mishael Powell ready to capitalize. Keep an eye on the breakaway threats, with WRs Tahj Washington and Brenden Rice for USC and WRs Rome Odunze and Ja'Lynn Polk for Washington. Defensive purists may want to look away, but the explosive potential of these passing attacks promises an exciting contest.

Later in the evening at 7:45 p.m. ET on CBS, No. 13 LSU faces off against No. 8 Alabama. This game holds immense significance as a win for Alabama would effectively secure the SEC West, while an LSU victory would result in a shared divisional lead and the potential for a three-way finish. LSU brings the SEC's most productive passing game, led by QB Jayden Daniels, targeting WRs Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. However, they'll need to contend with Alabama's takeaway threats, including freshman DB Caleb Downs. Alabama, on the other hand, seeks to avoid a track meet and rely on RBs Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams if necessary. Keep an eye on Tigers DB Andre' Sam as a potential disruptor of Alabama's passing game.

Future Odds 🔮 via Bovada Sportsbook

Weekend Picks 🔒

Grizzlies-3.5 | The Trailblazers will be without two starters and the Grizzlies are desperate for a win.

Iowa State -3 | Kansas finds itself in a letdown scenario. Following an emotional win at home against Oklahoma, they must now face an Iowa state team on the road, and their motivation may not be as high for this matchup.

USC/Washington over 77 | Neither of these teams are good defensively. USC allowed over 40 points in 4 out of their last five games. Washington has given 30+ 3 out of their last 5. Both teams have the ability to score big numbers offensively. Kansas finds itself in a letdown scenario. Following an emotional win at home against Oklahoma, they must now face an Iowa state team on the road, and their motivation may not be as high for this matchup.

Bengals -2 | The Bengals are above .500 for the first time this season after going to San Francisco and upsetting the 49ers on Sunday. Joe Burrow looks back to his old self after dealing with a calf injury to start to year.

Falcons -4 | Atlanta made a move with Heinecke starting now. This should improve the passing game going forward. This will also open up the run game for Allgaier and Robinson.
