Jeph Picks for Saturday’s action in college football.  Good luck!

Pick 1: Louisville +6.5

Final Score Prediction:  Louisville 24, Notre Dame 20

• Wrong team favored here.  We like the Louisville QB and their potent offense to score enough for the upset
• Louisville won this game last year 33-20
• The Notre Dame defense is elite but the offense is still trying to establish itself

Pick 2: Michigan State +24

Final Score Prediction:  Ohio State 27, Michigan State 10

• The Spartans have done very well on defense against the run against its first four opponents
• Expect Michigan State QB Aidan Chiles to make some big plays and keep the Green in the game
• Ohio State has the better talent overall, but will not dominate in this conference road game

Pick 3: Stanford +21.5

Final Score Prediction:  Clemson 31, Stanford 21

• Stanford had a big win on the road last week at Syracuse, they will not be intimidated by Clemson
• The Cardinal will do just enough on the ground and force a turnover or two to keep it competitive
• Clemson is the better team on paper, but this is too many points

Pick 4: Alabama +2

Final Score Prediction:  Alabama 20, Georgia 17

• Alabama getting points at home?  Yes please
• Georgia has the better defense, but Alabama combines an elite defense with an elite offense and playmaker QB
• Bama has won 8 of the last 9 matchups between these two; take the the Home team
