Leg 1 – Oklahoma vs. TCU vs. Texas A&M
Oklahoma is coming off their first loss of the season facing Texas in the Red River rivalry and they will likely have to run the table and get help to get a BCS berth. OU lost to Texas because their defense, which gave up 48 points in the loss. Still, they have a great passing attack and an offense that ranks fifth in the nation in points per game.
TCU has lost three of their last four games and they are only 1-2 in Big 12 play. They have a balanced offense that ranks over 28 points per game, but the defense is still the strength of the team. They will have a tall task facing an Oklahoma team that is averaging 48 points per game. Kyler Murray is in the Heisman race as the Sooners’ quarterback and he has passed for over 300 yards in three of his last four games.
The big matchup in this game is TCU and their 20th ranked pass defense facing Murray and the OU passing attack. Have to go with the Sooners in this one facing a TCU team that has been a disappointment this season and is only 3-3.

Leg 2 – LSU vs. Mississippi State
LSU is riding high after their huge win over, then, 2nd ranked Georgia in their last game. They lost their previous game, but they have their fate in their hand, as if they run the table, including beating Alabama, they will snag a BCS berth. The Tigers can run the ball and they have a solid defense that held Georgia to 16 points in their last game. LSU had 275 rushing yards in the win over Georgia and they face a MSU run defense that ranks 19th in the nation.
After two straight losses, the Bulldogs won their last game facing Auburn where they held the Tigers to only 90 rushing yards. Can they contain the LSU Tigers on the ground in this SEC contest? On the other side of the coin the Bulldogs racked up a ton of yards on the ground in their last game with duel threat quarterback Nick Fitzgerald leading the way with 195 rushing yards. LSU ranks 26th in the nation in run defense and they held Georgia in check on the ground in their 36-16 win over them in their last game.
LSU will run the ball and play better run defense in this game, which is why they will win and cover the spread.

Leg 3 – Oregon vs. Washington State
Oregon is coming off a big 30-27 win over a top 10 Washington team in their last game and Washington State moved into the top 25 with their fifth win in their last game. Both teams can light up the scoreboard ranking in the top 15 in the nation in points per game.
The total has gone Over in 11 of the last 15 games between these teams and why go against the grain. These teams combined to score 86 points in their last game and look for that type of total in this Pac 12 game, so the smart money has to be on the Over.
Tip: Oregon vs. Washington State Over 66.5 points at -111.11 with Bovada
