This week we're picking tonight's game as well as two Friday night games, FYI. Some trends from this weekend's picks among our community:

  • 90% like Georgia Tech at home tonight over Virginia Tech, they of the triple overtime survival against Marshall the week before.
  • LSU currently holds a 52%-48% advantage on Georgia in the closest call of the week. All other SEC matchups are projected to be less exciting: one person has picked Ole Miss to upset Alabama, no one is taking Kentucky to upset the Gators, one person has Arkansas at home over Texas A&M, and one person has the Vols going down this weekend. So South Carolina's 90% number at Central Florida seems awfully tight.
  • Most confident pick of the week: BYU over Middle Tennessee on Friday at an average of 17.4 confidence points. Least confident: 3.8 on average for Pittsburgh over UVA.
