Geoff Schwartz is back with his best bets for Week 8. Find out why he's fading the Bruins and the Trojans, and why he's backing the Buffs to score big.
College football Week 8 is here, and I expect for this weekend's slate of games to validate some things that we bettors already know. For example, UCLA is in shambles and so is USC. But just because the Bruins and Trojans have looked dismal so far doesn't mean they can't get right this weekend. Or does it? Keep reading to see how I'm wagering on those games, plus the Colorado-Arizona tilt. SATURDAY, OCT. 19 UCLA @ Rutgers UCLA has eight offensive touchdowns this season.
Rutgers to win by more than 4.5 points USC @ Maryland Wagering on a situation here. And that situation is that USC is a mess. The Trojans are 3-3 after close losses to Michigan, Minnesota and Penn State. I keep hearing people say that they are three plays away from being 6-0. Not only is that not true, but it's also a loser's mentality. USC keeps losing defensive players to the injury report, while seeing defensive regression by the week because SC does not have depth.
Maryland to lose by fewer than 7.5 points, or win outright Colorado @ Arizona What we know about Colorado is this: If the Buffaloes are facing a defense that cannot pressure quarterback Shedeur Sanders, he will dominate that defense. The Buffs scored 38 points against Baylor, 48 against UCF and 28 against a good Kansas State team. Now they face an Arizona defense that is poor. Arizona ranks 113th in pressure rate and in the 70s for overall defensive havoc rate.
Colorado team total Over 27.5 points scored Geoff Schwartz is an NFL analyst for FOX Sports. He played eight seasons in the NFL for five different teams. He started at right tackle for the University of Oregon for three seasons and was a second-team All-Pac-12 selection his senior year. Follow him on Twitter @GeoffSchwartz.
