Louisville/Florida State 8:00: Florida State doing everything they can to stay in the FBS Playoff picture but should run into trouble here. Seminoles got by Florida last week with QB Rodemaker. He did a decent job going 12 of 25 for 134 yards. He did have the run game to lean on with Benson (95 rush yards). But now that Louisville has film on Rodemaker, who should clear concussion protocol, the respectable Cardinals' defense should make the needed adjustments. And if Rodemaker can't go, 'Noles turn to freshman Brock Glenn, who is talented but very little experience in the Norvell system. I'm not a fan of Cardinals' QB Plummer but he's got a great mentor in Brohm. And Louisville dangerous off losses. They have some notable wins over ND, at NC State and 23-0 over Duke after they lost at Pitt. Perhaps a shakeup of the College Playoffs takes place tonight. Take Lousiville. 

Alabama/Georgia 4:00: Alabama is rarely a dog; as a matter of fact, you go back to 2021 in the SEC Championship, they were 6-point dogs to Georgia. Alabama won 41-24. The win was short lived as Georgia claimed the National Championship 33-18 as a 3-point favorite. Saban is dangerous with revenge and his 'Tide should put up a fight here. I like how his QB Milroe has developed. After that loss to Texas, Milroe has progressed well, to the tune of a passer rating of 70+ over the last 11 games. He's got great character, and the team feeds off that. Both of these teams can put up points, especially in critical moments of games - as each exhibited last week. Both can also make stops down the stretch when needed. We'll look for a competitive game here and go with the dog. 

Broncos/Texans 1:00: On paper, Broncos at the bottom tier of the league defensively; however, a closer look reveals a dramatic turnaround during their five-game winning streak. Over that 5-game run, Broncos' defense allowed just 16 PPG - rising to the top tier of the league. Offensively, a resurgent Russell Wilson actually looking like he did in the Seahawks' Super Bowl years. He sports a superb 20/4 TD/INT ratio. And the offensive line is protecting him while opening up holes in the run game (4.4 YPC). On the other hand, Houston is having a great year led by rookie C.J. Stroud. Stroud has been lighting up defenses all year but, shuffling of the offensive line, and nagging injuries to key receivers - Tank Dell (calf) and TE Shultz (out) could impact his effectiveness today against the revamped Broncos' defense. Sean Payton 11-2 ATS on the road off back-to-back wins, and 10-4 as a road dog. Broncos the call.  

Colts/Titans 1:00; Revenge game for Tennessee from 10/8. Titans should have vertical threat Burks (concussion) back in action; consequently, QB Levis will have another deep threat to go to. Meanwhile, Colts' secondary thinned with JuJu Brents (quad) out. Titans a sweet 15-5 SU / 14-6 ATS with same season division revenge. Vrabel 12-4 ATS as a dog with revenge. Titans 4-0 at Nissan Stadium and we'll look for them to deliver here. 

Chargers/Patriots 1:00: Heavy action on Chargers but I don't believe it's warranted. After all, they've lost three straight including a physical battle at home vs Baltimore last week. Teams coming off Baltimore are usually banged up and sluggish going into the next game. Chargers have to travel cross country into cold and rainy Foxborough. Herbert is 0-2 vs Belichick and his top go-to receiver - Keenan Allen is laboring with a quad injury. No doubt, Patriots are pathetic offensively. Mac Jones is benched, and Zappe will start. That's surely not a vote of confidence in New England but fortunately, they face a defense that ranks dead last in yards allowed. Patriots put in a package for elusive QB Malik Cunningham by activating him off practice squad. Perhaps a good wrinkle against a leaky Chargers' run stop unit that gets up the field fast to sack the QB. Defensively, Patriots still sound and should make this an ugly game for NE to deliver. Belichick is a sweet 19-8 ATS at home vs an opponent off a SU loss. Also, a strong 14-2 ATS off a non-division game vs a less than .500 opponent off a SU loss of more than 4 points. Value with the Patriots!
