Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — Expect Chiefs to bounce back but not cover. Pick: Chargers
RICHIE WHITT
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — Sorry, but Frogs gotta be gutted after losing a Baylor game it should’ve won five times. Pick: Texas Tech
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — Though giving 10 points to an undefeated team in November seems insane, Bears’ luck is way overdue to run out. Pick: Oklahoma
Texas at Iowa State -7 — With Caden Sterns tackling and Keaontay Ingram running, Longhorns look like again like a Top 10 team. Pick: Texas
West Virginia at Kansas State -14 — Mountaineers’ belly-flop vs. Tech was sign that they’ve raised white flag on 2019. Pick: Kansas State
Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — Remember when we thought Jayhawks might be decent? Me neither. Pick: Oklahoma State
South Carolina at Texas A&M -11 — Aggies will beat the team that beat Georgia, so there’s that. Pick: Texas A&M
Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — Tigers beat Dawgs and then Alabama beats Auburn and we’ll all get chaotic in SEC. Pick: Auburn
Minnesota at Iowa -3 — Gil, how do we make this our 10-star Lock of the Year? Pick: Iowa
Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — Teams freshly exposed for not being able to stop simple running plays should not give up more than a field goal on the road. Ever. Pick: Lions
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — Pats have had 10 days to stew over loss to Ravens. Eagles play in the NFC East, so you know they’re not very good. Pick: Patriots

Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — Chiefs can’t win at home, but Chargers have zero home-field advantage. Pick: Chiefs
JOHN HENRY
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — With their bowl backs against the wall, the Frogs push back. The coach’s teams always seem to get better as the season progresses. Tech is better — and unpredictable — but still more broth than beans. Pick: TCU
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — OU coming into Waco with more airs than an Episcopalian, but the Sooners defense has looked wholly vulnerable the last few weeks. Bears on the Brazos. Pick: Baylor
Texas at Iowa State -7 — One reason the Big 12 doesn’t get any respect from the CFP is because Texas still doing Texas things. This should stay close, however. Pick: Texas

Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — If the Jayhawks can get to four wins, they’ll overturn cars on campus, set dorm beds afire. They won’t here, but they’ll leg wrestle with the Cowboys long enough. Pick: Kansas

Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — This one is hotter than a honeymoon hotel. Georgia wins a low-scoring squeaker. And covers. Pick: Georgia
Minnesota at Iowa -3 — Learned a valuable lesson about Minnesota last week. Pick: Minnesota
Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — I trust the Cowboys are far as I can throw Tyron Smith. Pick: Lions
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — Patriots rebound off a bye and bad loss. Pick: Patriots
Texans at Ravens -4 — Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. Pick: Ravens
Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — Melvin Gordon getting his groove back is perfect timing against the 31st-ranked team against the run. Arriba, arriba … Los Chargers. Pick: Chargers
ANTHONY ANDRO
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — TCU doesn’t have the offense to keep up in Lubbock. Pick: Texas Tech
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — I haven’t picked these two right all year. The sure to miss pick. Pick: Oklahoma
Texas at Iowa State -7 — How are the Cyclones a TD favorite. It’s closer. Pick: Texas
West Virginia at Kansas State -14 — So we know Wesr Virginia sucks. Pick: Kansas State
Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — Feels like Kansas isn’t that bad, but it is Kansas. Pick: Oklahoma State

Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — Georgia doesn’t belong in the playoffs and this should take care of that. Pick: Auburn

Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — Jason Garett sucks as a coach. Pick: Lions
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — The Patriots are coming off a bye and a loss. Pick: Patriots
Texans at Ravens -4 — Stopping Lamar Jackson is next to impossible. Pick: Ravens
Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — The Chiefs need to rebound. Pick: Chiefs
JAN HUBBARD
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — When teams are evenly matched and the home team gets points, go with the home team. Pick: Texas Tech
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — If the Bears win this one, the playoff committee might actually consider moving them into the top 10 ahead of those two two-loss teams they currently trail. Pick: Baylor
Texas at Iowa State -7 — Longhorns are fourth in the conference in rushing and Cyclones are second in stopping the run. The spread looks a little large, but maybe not. Pick: Iowa State
West Virginia at Kansas State -14 — West Virginia lost to Oklahoma by 38 while Kansas beat the Sooners by 7. That is reflective of the two teams, which means . . . Pick: Kansas State.
Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — The Cowboys lead the league in rushing while Kansas is last in rushing defense. This won’t be pretty. Pick: Oklahoma State
South Carolina at Texas A&M -11 — South Carolina has a beautiful memory of beating Georgia on the road, so the Aggies should beware. A&M looks like the better team, but 11 points better? Pick: South Carolina
Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — The Bulldogs have bounced back from the loss to South Carolina and are ranked fourth. But playoff committee favorite Alabama is fifth so Georgia not only has to win, it also has to score style points with a big win. Pick: Georgia
Minnesota at Iowa -3 — Doubters keep waiting for the Minnesota bubble to burst and, indeed, the undefeated Golden Gophers are underdogs. The Hawkeyes are 4-1 at home but it is unwise to bet against an undefeated team while getting points. Pick: Minnesota
Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — With Matt Stafford out because of an injury, this should be an easy one for Dallas, although with Jason Garrett you never know. Pick: Dallas
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — New England lost its first game last week. It’s hard to see the Patriots losing two straight. Pick: Philly
Texans at Ravens -4 — Texans are rested after a bye week and the Ravens are still ecstatic with their win over New England last week. Which is better? Pick: Ravens
Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — KC started with four victories but has lost four of the last six games. Chargers are at or near the top of the league in inconsistency. But I like home dogs. Pick: Chargers
MATT MOSLEY
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — Two teams desperately trying to become bowl eligible. The Frogs have to find a way to generate more offense. Pick: TCU
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — Can I hear 10 1/2? There seems to be a sense that Baylor’s Cinderella story will come to a crashing halt. But the Sooners aren’t that good on defense. Can the Bears hit some big plays in the passing game? They need 35 points to win. Pick: Baylor
Texas at Iowa State -7 — I have a lot of respect for Matt Campbell, but there’s no way the Cyclones should be a touchdown favorite in this game. Pick: Texas
West Virginia at Kansas State -14 — The Mountaineers kept it close in Waco a couple weeks ago. The Wildcats don’t seem like a team that will run out to a big lead. Pick: West Virginia
Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — These Jayhawks have shown slippage after becoming competitive earlier in the season. I don’t think the Pokes run away with it, though. Pick: Kansas
South Carolina at Texas A&M -11 — These are really mediocre teams. I have no idea how the Gamecocks took down mighty Georgia. Pick: Texas A&M
Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — I just can’t ride with Bo Nix again. He really let me down against Florida. And he’s never apologized. Pick: Georgia
Minnesota at Iowa -3 — I love what P.J. Fleck has accomplished, but the Gophers will fall to the Hawkeyes. They will always have that Penn State win. Pick: Iowa
Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — Matt Stafford has been ruled out, but it’s still hard to trust the Cowboys. This coaching staff has major credibility issues after last week. Pick: Cowboys
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — A win over the Pats would be huge for the Eagles. They would become the favorite to win the NFC East. Pick: Patriots
Texans at Ravens -4 — Ravens are riding high with Lamar Jackson. I don’t see Bill O’Brien slowing this train down. Love those triple-option plays. Pick: Ravens
Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — Chiefs have to get it going again. This is a good opportunity since the Chargers have no semblance of a homefield advantage. Pick: Chiefs
CARLOS MENDEZ
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — Two years ago, TCU won a morning game in Lubbock with a freshman making his first start. Pick: Texas Tech.
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — Hard to blow the Bears out. Pick: Baylor
Texas at Iowa State -7 — The tougher things get at Texas, the tougher Texas seems to get. Pick: Texas
West Virginia at Kansas State -14 — I’ll take the whole two touchdowns. Pick: West Virginia
Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — Not going to tire of watching Chuba Hubbard. Pick: Oklahoma State
South Carolina at Texas A&M -11 — Under the radar, Ags have found their footing. Pick: Texas A&M
Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — Is it me or does it seems like Georgia’s always playing close games. Pick: Georgia
Minnesota at Iowa -3 — So much emotional energy expended last week in Minnesota. Pick: Iowa
Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — Noon road game indoors. Don’t like anything about it. Pick: Lions.
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — Eagles have had two weeks. They’ll be hyped. And they’re good enough. Pick: Eagles
Texans at Ravens -4 — No JJ for the Texans. An LJ for the Ravens. Pick: Ravens
Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — The NFL is about offense. Go with the offense. Pick: Chiefs
GIL LeBRETON
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — Frogs have the defense to control this game, but can they score enough? Pick: TCU
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — Can’t imagine schooner-less Sooners going into Waco and riding away with things. This will be close…I think. Pick: Baylor
Texas at Iowa State -7 — Cyclones could have won last week, won’t let opportunity slip this week playing at home with a chance for a name-brand victory. Pick: Iowa State
West Virginia at Kansas State -14 — Two teams from opposite sides of the Big 12 tracks. Pick: Kansas State
Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — Jayhawks have won only once in previous six weeks. The spread is robust, but Cowboys can cover it. Pick: Oklahoma State
South Carolina at Texas A&M -11 — Aggies and Jimbo should continue to solidify their bid to be one of the best middle-rung teams in the SEC. Pick: Texas A&M
Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — The vote here goes to the better quarterback and better coach. Pick: Georgia
Minnesota at Iowa -3 — Hawkeyes nothing special, but they can handle the November frost at home. Pick: Iowa
Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — Panic in the streets averted once again with another Jason Garrett bounceback victory. Pick: Cowboys
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — New England doesn’t lose two in a row, especially to some NFC East team. Pick: Patriots
Texans at Ravens -4 — Baltimore continues to impress. Pick: Ravens
Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — Tough to go against home underdog in a division game, but let’s make an exception for the rebounding Chiefs. Pick: Chiefs
JIMMY BURCH
TCU at Texas Tech +3 — The Frogs have fallen and they won’t get up. At least until they return to FW for a home game. Pick: Texas Tech
Oklahoma at Baylor +10 — The Bears are confident and the Sooners showed how vulnerable their defense truly is last week against Iowa State. Pick: Baylor
Texas at Iowa State -7 — The Horns are about to play the role of pinata on the Iowa State postseason highlight reel. Pick: Iowa State
West Virginia at Kansas State -14 — The Wildcats roll in front of a happy home crowd. Pick: Kansas State
Kansas at Oklahoma State -17 1/2 — Oklahoma State is better than Kansas. But not by that much. Pick: Kansas
South Carolina at Texas A&M -11 — The Aggies roll to a comfortable win. Pick: Texas A&M
Georgia at Auburn +2 1/2 — Georgia is not the fourth-best team in the country, despite the CFP rankings. But they are at least a FG better than Auburn. Pick: Georgia
Minnesota at Iowa -3 — It’s probably not wise to pick against an undefeated team getting points. But I’m doing it, anyway. Pick: Iowa
Cowboys at Lions +3 1/2 — No Matthew Stafford, no chance for the Lions to keep this one close. Pick: Cowboys
Patriots at Eagles +3 1/2 — The Patriots give the Cowboys some breathing room in the NFL East race. Pick: Patriots
Texans at Ravens -4 — The Ravens may be the best team in the NFL right now. Pick: Ravens
Chiefs at Chargers +3 1/2 — The Chiefs’ porous defense makes every game interesting. Pick: Chargers
