Season record: 32-30-2

Last week: 4-1 (Arkansas +7.5, Missouri/Arkansas over 54.5, LSU -11.5, Kansas/Cincinnati over 58.5, North Carolina/North Carolina State over 55.5)

Arkansas was not able to cover (by a long shot), but we are back over .500 thanks to a good weekend! LSU did not let me down and there was plenty of scoring on Saturday to cash my overs. Shout out to North Carolina State quarterback Brennan Armstrong on his performance in the win over North Carolina. Armstrong went from being benched to leading the Wolfpack to a big win over their biggest rivals in the final game of the regular season.

Let’s keep this train rolling into championship weekend!

#5 Oregon Ducks (10-1) vs #3 Washington Huskies (11-0) | December 1 | 7:00 PM CT | Allegiant Stadium

Line: Oregon -9.5 | Total: 66.5

Quarterbacks Bo Nix and Michael Penix are the nation’s two leading passers in yards per game. Nix averages 325.5 yards per game while Penix averages 324.9 yards per game. However, over the last month, Nix’s play has elevated while Penix’s has dropped off. In November, Nix averaged 392.3 passing yards per game while completing 79% of his passes and threw 16 touchdowns to only 1 interception. Penix, meanwhile, averaged 238.5 yards per game while completing 57.9% of his passes and threw 8 touchdowns to 2 interceptions.

Obviously, these quarterbacks are surrounded by great casts. Oregon receiver Troy Franklin leads the Pac-12 in receiving yards (1,349) and receiving touchdowns (14). Also at receiver is Tez Johnson, who has 942 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns.

On the Washington side, the Huskies have a nice duo in receivers Rome Odunze and Ja’Lynn Polk. Odunze is second in the Pac-12 in both receiving yards (1,326) and receiving touchdowns (13). Polk adds 943 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns.

However, Washington has another receiver who is working his way back into the fold. That is junior Jalen McMillan. McMillan had his first catch since mid-September against Washington State last week. In fact, he had 5 catches in total for 26 yards. McMillan was off to a fast start on the season as he averaged 103.7 yards per game after three games.

Both offensive lines have done a great job keeping their respective quarterbacks upright. Oregon has only allowed five sacks on the season, while Washington has allowed only nine.

I believe these two offenses will dictate the flow of this game and it will be high scoring like last time when Washington won 36-33 as Oregon missed a last-second field goal. I also believe it will once again, be a very close game, so I am taking Washington +9.5.

#1 Georgia Bulldogs (12-0) vs #8 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1) | December 2 | 3:00 PM CT | Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Line: Georgia -5.5 | Total: 54.5

Both Nick Saban and Kirby Smart have made their bones as defensive coaches, however, this is not your father’s SEC. Offense now rules the day and Alabama and Georgia are no exceptions.

Both quarterbacks have posted gaudy numbers in SEC play this season. Alabama’s Jalen Milroe posted the second-highest yards per attempt in the conference at 10.6, while Georgia’s Carson Beck was third at 9.4 yards per attempt.

The Georgia and Alabama defenses still rank among the top defenses. Georgia ranks ninth nationally in total defense, allowing 294.3 yards per game, while Alabama ranks seventeenth nationally, allowing 312.7 yards per game. However, last week we saw both teams deliver lackluster performances against lesser competition. Georgia gave up scores to Georgia Tech on three of their first four possessions as they were able to hold off the Yellow Jackets. As for Alabama, the Crimson Tide gave up three Auburn touchdown drives of 68 yards or more.

I am taking over 54.5.

#2 Michigan Wolverines (12-0) vs #16 Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2) | December 2 | 7:00 PM CT | Lucas Oil Stadium

Line: Michigan -23 | Total: 35.5

Now these are two teams that are going to play defense. Michigan comes in with the second-best defense reflective of yards per game allowed at 246.8, while Iowa is seventh at 279.9.

Obviously, the other side of the ball is a huge struggle for the Hawkeyes as they average only 18 points per game. But can they drag down Michigan with them?

Michigan is coming off a big win over Ohio State and it has been an emotional month surrounding the ongoing controversy around the program.

It is possible that they overlook Iowa as they look to head back to the College Football Playoff for the third straight year.

That point spread seems pretty B1G. Give me Iowa +23.
