Texas +6.5 vs. Georgia 

The Longhorns are fighting for their College Football Playoff lives on Saturday night, so they'll be playing with a real sense of urgency. Texas is 7-1 in its last eight games, and quarterback Arch Manning has been playing some of his best football down the stretch. Manning has thrown for over 325 yards and three touchdowns in each of his last two outings, and SportsLine's model is expecting he'll do enough to keep it close against Georgia. The Longhorns are projected to cover the spread in 60% of simulations on Saturday. 

Iowa +6.5 vs. USC

The Hawkeyes are coming off a heartbreaking 18-16 defeat at home against Oregon. However, Iowa is 6-1 against the spread in its last seven games, and the Hawkeyes are 5-1 ATS in their past six meetings against a Big Ten opponent. Iowa also ranks fourth in college football in scoring defense, holding opponents to just 13 points per game. SportsLine's model is projecting Iowa's defense to disrupt USC's explosive offense, as the Hawkeyes cover the spread in 57% of simulations. 

Over 51 points in TCU vs. BYU

Both of these teams average over 30 points per game, and SportsLine's model is projecting we'll see a high-scoring affair on Saturday night. The Horned Frogs are scoring 32.7 points per game on average, while the Cougars average 33 points per contest. In addition, the Over has hit in 11 of BYU's last 15 games when playing as the favorite. On Saturday, the Cougars are favored by 4.5 points. The model is projecting these teams will combine for 58 points, helping the Over hit in 58% of simulations.
