It’s rivalry week!
No. 3 Texas at Texas A&M, 8:00PM ET, Thursday
Texas A&M have beaten Colt McCoy two of the last three seasons and will look to spoil Texas’s shot at a national title when the teams meet on Thanksgiving. The only problem is that the Aggies have the 110th ranked pass defense in the country and McCoy could torch them repeatedly. With so much on the line, don’t count on Texas overlooking their in-state rivals on Thursday.
Odds: Texas –21.
No. 2 Alabama at Auburn, 2:30PM ET, Friday
Auburn will be looking to ruin Alabama’s national title hopes by knocking off the Crimson Tide in the teams’ annual Iron Bowl meeting. Auburn hopes its spread offense and 11th best running game will be successful against ‘Bama’s top ranked defense.
Odds: Alabama –10.
Nevada at Boise State, 10:00PM ET, Friday
Even there’s any team that could ruin Boise State’s bid for a national title it’s Nevada, who has only lost by a combined nine points to the Broncos the past two years. The Wolf Pack have won eight in a row and could snag a share of the WAC title with a win on Boise’s blue turf this Friday. How will Boise’s defense stack up to the nation’s top ranked rushing attack?
Odds: Boise State –14.
Florida State at No. 1 Florida, 3:30PM Saturday
Tim Tebow will be playing his final home game of his collegiate career on Saturday when the Gators host Bobby Bowden’s Seminoles. Florida has won 21 straight games, but it needs two more victories to secure a spot in the national title game. The Gators have won the past five meetings vs. the Seminoles and lead the all-time series 32-19-2.
Odds: Florida –24.5.
