๐ฎ Tulsa vs. East Carolina prediction
🏴☠️ East Carolina -16.5 (-110)
Before last weekโs seven-point loss to AAC contender Tulane, East Carolina had been 8-3 under head coach Blake Harrell, who was hired after serving as interim coach in the middle of last season. That .727 winning percentage was tied for the most wins and best winning percentage by a head coach through 11 games in program history.

๐ฎ Early Ole Miss vs. Georgia prediction
🦈 Ole Miss +6.5 (-105)
This is a common matchup. It's a team that went through the motions in beating an inferior opponent last week, facing a team off an impressive road win in which it covered the spread. In these situations, I typically prefer to take advantage of what an overreaction from the oddsmakers is and back the least impressive team from the week prior.- via Mike Spector's early Ole Miss vs. Georgia prediction

๐ฎ Early USC vs. Notre Dame prediction
⬇️ Under 61.5 (-110)
USC is averaging 45.5 points per game, third-most in the nation. However, theyโve scored 32 or fewer in back-to-back games. Notre Dame is allowing just 20.8 points and 351.5 yards per game, despite facing two top-five teams. Additionally, Notre Dame is averaging 36.7 rushes and 172.7 rushing yards per game, so look for them to control the clock and keep USC out of its usual offensive rhythm.- via Philip Wood's early USC vs. Notre Dame prediction
