College Football Week 6 Odds Analysis
(#16) Vanderbilt at (#10) Alabama
- Spread: Vanderbilt +10.5, Alabama -10.5
- Moneyline: Vanderbilt +285, Alabama -500
- Over/Under: 56.5 Points
- Time: Saturday, October 4th, 3:30 PM EST
This one is a massive rematch from last season after Vanderbilt beat Alabama for the first time since 1984. Alabama’s reign on top of the college football world has been fading since Nick Saban left, and a loss to Vanderbilt hammered home that fact.
This year, Alabama shook off a Week 1 loss to Florida State with three straight victories. That included a win over Georgia last week. The Alabama defense was able to smother Gunner Stockton and the Bulldogs’ offense, and will be looking for more of the same against Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt is 5-0 this year and has earned a place in the rankings as a result. The Vanderbilt offense has been truly unstoppable, but they face their toughest test of the season against Alabama. Diego Pavia has thrown for 13 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions this season, and cannot afford to turn the football over against Alabama.
A second straight victory over Alabama may be too much to ask for Vanderbilt, but they will be able to keep this one close. Take the Commodores to cover the spread for your first Week 6 college football prediction.
Pick: Vanderbilt +10.5 (-120)
(#3) Miami at (#18) Florida State
- Spread: Miami -4.5, Florida State +4.5
- Moneyline: Miami -210, Florida State +140
- Over/Under: 53.5 Points
- Time: Saturday, October 4th, 7:30 PM EST
Florida State has had an up-and-down season this year, but they can get themselves right back into the playoff picture with a win over #3 Miami. They opened up the year with a shocking victory over Alabama to kick off a 3-0 start.
However, a 46-38 overtime loss to Virginia last week has the Seminoles still in the rankings, but on the outside looking in at the college football playoff picture. Thomas Castellanos needs to improve for Florida State, and he will be able to shake off his turnovers from last week against Miami.
Miami is ranked 3rd for a reason, but they may come into this game overconfident, riding a perfect 4-0 start. Their season-opening win against Notre Dame was impressive, but they haven’t looked very dominant in recent wins against inferior opponents.
Their offense hasn’t been firing on all cylinders, and taking down the Florida State defense will be no easy task. Once you factor in that Miami will be playing this one away from home, grabbing the points against Florida State are great American football odds for Week 6 college football.
Pick: Florida State +4.5 (-120)
