Notre Dame versus Navy in East Rutherford: Navy unbeaten and ranked but stepping up in class here. Notre Dame needs the W to keep playoff hopes alive...favored by 14 to get it.
Washington at Indiana: Huskies have one nice W (against Michigan) but haven't looked impressive on the road in the conference. (Fortunately, we get them in Happy Valley.) Indiana is surprisingly unbeaten and acting the part of a contender. Hoosiers favored by 5.5...still no Vegas respect for Indiana. (Rooting for Washington to pull the upset here.)
Illinois at Oregon: The Illini another conference surprise team with only the one loss we gave them but hard to see them beating an Oregon team that seems finally to be living up to its preseason billing. Ducks favored by 22 at home. (Would love to see Illinois somehow pull off a shocker.)
Missouri at Alabama: Loser of this one is likely eliminated from playoff contention. Tide favored by 16 at home.
LSU at Texas A&M: Tonight's other big matchup....with big-time playoff implications. Aggies favored by 1 at home. (Rooting for Aggies...and another Brian Kelly meltdown afterward.)
