NCAA Football Week 6 Over/Under Picks

Week 6 of the college football season lacks the top-end juice that Week 5 had, but there are plenty of impactful conference games to keep an eye on this week. Let’s break down some of the best bets of the weekend pertaining to the total.

Oklahoma vs. Texas Week 6 Total

Oklahoma vs. Texas Prediction

Best Bet: OVER 63.5 Points

This is going to be a fascinating game from a million perspectives. That being said, there are two things that I will be watching for in this game.

The first huge matchup is Bijan Robinson and Steve Sarkisian vs. The Oklahoma linebackers and Alex Grinch. The Oklahoma defense has taken a big step forward under Grinch, but I think this defense has real holes that Robinson should exploit this week. The OU defense has struggled with covering RBs in the passing game and creative roles, and I think this will be on display on Saturday.

For Oklahoma, this comes down to Spencer Rattler and him proving himself on a huge stage. Rattler has not been great this season, and this is a game that he got benched last year; if Rattler was looking ahead towards any matchup in the offseason, this is the one.

Wake Forest vs. Syracuse Week 6 Total

Wake Forest vs. Syracuse Prediction

Best Bet: OVER 57.5 Points

Wake Forest’s offense is legitimately good, and their scheme is pretty tough to stop if the team cannot just overwhelm them with talent, and I think that this Wake offense is even more talented than Syracuse outside of the scheme. Wake Forest should put up 35 points, here again, control this game, and force Syracuse to keep up.

The QB change at Syracuse has provided a spark on offense, and I think the QB run has been a great dynamic alongside Tucker. If they are forced to play catchup, I have no concerns that they will create plays.

Georgia at Auburn Week 6 Total

Georgia vs. Auburn Prediction

Best Bet: UNDER 46.5 Points

This game is a fascinating one coming off of 2 big wins for each team in completely different contexts. I expect the Tigers to give this game everything they have, and it will be a great atmosphere on Saturday afternoon.

Georgia’s offense has been underwhelming this season while still being a completely dominant team, and I do think that this is a game where we can see this show up again. Last week, Arkansas gave Georgia a special teams touchdown and great field position all game. Georgia still only had 5.14 yards per play in that game, which is terrible as a modern offense on a top 10 team.

Maybe they can score when they need to, but are we sure they’re going to need to score points in this game? No. Are we sure they can score when they do have to? Not at all.

We are fading Bo Nix 3 turnovers here, which is the terrifying aspect of this bet, but Nix has been much better at home, and Georgia hasn’t seen anyone throw accurate passes against them all year, so that is a bit baked into their defensive numbers.
