LSU vs Alabama College Football Picks Predictions: The biggest game of the weekend will take place in Tuscaloosa, Alabama as the LSU Tigers square off against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The two SEC rivals are both vying to win the West division and meet Florida in the conference championship game. Kickoff is set for 3:30pm ET on CBS. College Football Picks Predictions at BetUS.com have the Crimson Tide listed as a -7.5 against the spread home favorite. LSU improved to 7-1 last week, scoring a 42-0 non-conference home win over Tulane. The victory was the Tigers second in a row since their 13-3 loss against Florida on October 10th. Les Miles squad has much at stake this Saturday as they are just a game back of Alabama in the SEC West division with a 4-1 league record. A win would likely propel them to the division title with winnable games against Louisiana Tech, Mississippi, and Arkansas left on their schedule. "Our football team wants to compete for the Western Division championship every year," Miles said. "That's this game. The game is very significant. Our guys understand that." Alabama won its eighth game of the year on October 24th with a narrow 12-10 win over Tennessee in Tuscaloosa. The victory helped the Tide retain their first place standing in the West Division with a 5-0 conference mark. It is no secret that Nick Saban's club has made its bones on the defensive side of the ball; on the season they are holding their opposition to an average of 11.4 points and 240.9 yards per game. In conference play their points per game allowed average has dropped to 9.2. The magnitude of this game has not been lost on the Tide either, as they too would probably secure the West Division with a win. "This game is huge. It's huge for the coaching staff, it's huge for us, it's huge for our fan base," Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy said. College Football Picks Predictions Betting Trend: Alabama is 9-1 straight up but just 3-7 against the spread in its last 10 games as a home favorite versus an SEC opponent.

NFL oddsmakers at BetUS.com have the Bears as -3 point home favs over the Cardinals with the over/under set at 44.5 points . Be sure to get your Arizona Cardinals vs Chicago Bears NFL Week 9 Predictions in now at BetUS.com
 The Cardinals (4-3) lost to Carolina 21-34 at home in Week 8 and sit atop the NFC West. QB Kurt Warner made 27 of 46 passes for 242 yards with two TD passes and five interceptions; overall he’s thrown for 1,914 yards with 11 TD passes and 11 interceptions for a 81.5 passer rating. RB Beanie Wells had eight carries for 47 yards, while RB Timothy Hightower had eight carries for 39 yards with a TD. WR Larry Fitzgerald made six catches for 66 yards, while TE Ben Patrick and WR LaRod Stephens-Howling each added a TD. WR Anquan Boldin is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury . Last year, the Cardinals were one of the league's best home teams, but struggled mightily on the road. The script has completely flipped this season. Arizona has yet to lose on the road (3-0) but is just 1-3 at home. This matchup at potentially chilly Soldier Field will be a stiff test as the Bears are 3-0 at home. The Cardinals average 22.4ppg and give up 20.4ppg, while they are 3-0 SU on the road where they average 27.3ppg and allow 12.3ppg. They are 4-3 ATS and 2-5 over/under.
The Bears (4-3) beat Cleveland 30-6 at home in Week 8 and now sit third in the NFC North. QB Jay Cutler made 17 of 30 passes for 225 yards with one interception; overall he’s thrown for 1,677 yards with 11 TD passes and 11 interceptions for a 80.8 passer rating. RB Matt Forte had 26 carries for 90 yards with two TD’s, while WR Devin Hester made seven catches for 81 yards. WR Devin Hester is listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury. WLB Lance Biggs continues to perform at a high level despite playing with a different set of linebackers virtually every week and he will need to be at his best against a Cardinals team that loves the intermediate passing game. Chicago’s defense is ranked 11th overall with an 11th ranked pass defense and a 16th ranked rush defense. The Bears pass rush must be on their toes against the Cardinals eighth ranked passing game . As for offense, they aren’t a high powered squad. They are ranked 20th overall with a 15th ranked pass game and a struggling 25th ranked running game. When Jay Cutler has at least a 100 passer rating, his team is 13-0. Johnny Knox is second among rookies with four touchdown catches. The Bears average 22.7ppg and give up 21.4ppg, while they are 3-0 SU at home where they average 31.7ppg and allow 14.7ppg. They are 4-3 ATS and 3-4 over/under.

Navy vs Notre Dame College Football Predictions Picks: The Navy Midshipmen are in South Bend, Indiana this weekend to face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The annual clash is scheduled to get underway at 2:30pm ET at Notre Dame Stadium; it will be televised live on NBC. College Football Predictions Picks at SBGglobal.com have the Irish listed as a -11 against the spread favorite. Navy had a five game win streak snapped last weekend, losing 24-27 at home to a surprising Temple team. Prior to the  setback, the Middies had reeled off wins against Western Kentucky, Air Force, Rice, SMU, and Wake Forest, putting them in a position to go to a seventh consecutive bowl game. While it is unlikely that Navy will get by Notre Dame this Saturday (1-9 last in their last 10 meetings with the Irish), the Midshipmen close out the season with three winnable games, squaring off against Delaware, Hawaii, and Army. Notre Dame won its sixth game of the season last weekend, pounding Washington State 40-14 in South Bend. The Irish, now 6-2, have won five of their last six games, but they still have some major work to do in order to reach the kind of bowl game they had in mind before the season kicked off. After the Middies, who will be anything but a push-over, Notre Dame tavels to Pittsburgh to face the Panthers, hosts a tough Connecticut squad, and then hits the road again to battle the Stanford Cardinal in California. The key for Charlie Weis' squad in this contest will be stopping Navy's option rushing attack, which averages 279.8 yards per game. The Midshipmen have the opposite problem as they will need to deal with the Jimmy Clausen led passing attack that generates 309.8 yards per contest. College Football Predictions Picks Betting Trend: Notre Dame is 7-1 straight up but just 2-6 against the spread in their last eight games as a home favorite with a spread between 11 and 13.5. SBGglobal.com Navy vs Notre Dame College Football Predictions Picks: Navy Midshipmen +11 (-110), Over 55.5 (-110) Notre Dame Fighting Irish -11 (-110), Under 55.5 (-110) Bet on sports at internet sportsbook SBG Global and receive up to 295% in Cash Bonuses and start winning today! |
