College football odds, picks: Oregon vs. Indiana, Michigan vs. USC, more Week 7 games

Unbeaten and situated inside the top 10, Indiana and Oregon square off Saturday afternoon at Autzen Stadium with Big Ten title and College Football Playoff implications very much in play. The No. 3 Ducks carry the nation’s longest home winning streak into the matchup with the seventh-ranked Hoosiers, whose explosive offense promises to deliver fireworks in Eugene.

Michigan heads to Los Angeles for a battle with USC, a signature win opportunity for Lincoln Riley coming out of an open date. USC’s expecting a raucous environment inside the Coliseum, to which Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore said this week “it’s sold out because Michigan’s coming.”

We’re picking winners and against the spread plays for those two games and several others across a loaded docket on Saturday.

Last week’s results: Brad Crawford (9-1 straight, 4-6 ATS); Chris Hummer (9-1, 7-3 ATS). Not a good week for yours truly while Hummer cashed several tickets with a great card. Alabama’s backdoor cover on fourth down was disheartening for Vanderbilt bettors and taking Michigan to cover against Wisconsin was a whiff over this way. It’s time to bounce back in Week 7.

Season results: Crawford (45-15 straight, 34-26 ATS); Hummer (45-15; 27-33).

Though, few secondaries Pitt will see this season are as bad as Boston College’s. But I do think Pitt has the pieces on defense to at least limit Florida State’s run game. The Panthers have one of the better run defenses in the…
