Utah Utes @ Washington State Cougars – LSU Tigers @ Ole Miss Bulldogs

Utah Utes (-3) @ Washington State Cougars
The Utes have turned it around since their new quarterback picked up some confidence back against Oregon State a few weeks ago. Since then, they’ve been lights out, stomping Pac 12 opponents during a 3 game winning streak. Jon Hays might not be the biggest reason for their success, but he is certainly doing enough. Utah has outrushed opponents by nearly 275 yards over the last 3 weeks, and the Cougars inability to run it, and even more specifically, to stop the run, makes this a very likely road win for the Utes.

LSU Tigers (-29) @ Ole Miss Bulldogs
The Tigers are the 2nd best team in college football, I still believe that they would lose 7/10 games against Alabama (the team I think is the best in college football) – but as chance would have it, the Tigers made the big plays against ‘Bama and now here they are looking at an undefeated season and a possible Championship. Ole Miss is just a minor bump in there path, and while normally I would hate this line, the Tigers haven’t seemed to side step opponents this year. They have dealt with a lot, and they always come out and play above expectations. I don’t expect that to change this week.
