The No. 2 Clemson Tigers made quick work of the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday in cruising to a 41-7 victory at home. The Tigers will try to keep the momentum going this Saturday on the road when they visit the Florida State Seminoles.
Clemson is a 13.5-point road favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. With Ohio State’s loss to Purdue on the weekend and Clemson’s convincing win, the Tigers have taken over the No. 2 spot in the AP Top 25 and are firmly in control of their own destiny. The Tigers are just 2-9 SU in their last 11 games at Florida State, so this week’s trip won’t be taken lightly.
No. 3 Notre Dame needed a fourth-quarter touchdown drive to pull away from Pittsburgh for a 19-14 win as a 21-point favorite in its last game. The Fighting Irish have had a bye week to work on fixing the errors that plagued them in that game and enter the second half of their season with a 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS record.
This Saturday, Notre Dame is a 21.5-point favorite taking on the Navy Midshipmen at the SDCCU Stadium in San Diego. Navy is 4-1 ATS in its last five games against the Fighting Irish.
Ohio State’s loss significantly improved the chances that a one-loss Big 12 champion could potentially make the College Football Playoff. The No. 6 Texas Longhorns (-3) visit the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the No. 8 Oklahoma Sooners (-23.5) host the Kansas State Wildcats as the two rivals look to remain in contention for a playoff spot by winning out the rest of the way.
Oklahoma is 11-3 ATS in its last 14 games at home per the OddsShark College Football Database.
Other big games on the schedule this Saturday include No. 18 Iowa at No. 17 Penn State (-5), No. 14 Washington State at Stanford (-3.5) and No. 15 Washington at California. Washington State is 6-1 SU and 7-0 ATS this season.
