JAN HUBBARD
Last week: 4-8
Season: 56-50-2
West Virginia at Baylor -17 1/2 — West Virginia is not a good road team so Bears should remain undefeated. But the line is a little heavy so . . . Pick: West Virginia
TCU at Oklahoma State -3 — You never know which Oklahoma State tam will show up – the one that had road victories at Texas Tech and Iowa State, or the one that lost home games to Kansas State and Baylor. Pick: TCU
SMU at Memphis -5 1/2 — Biggest test for the undefeated Mustangs since they beat TCU in Fort Worth. They pass. Pick: SMU
UT-San Antonio at Texas A&M -38 — The Roadrunners have lost games by 49 and 42 points this season, so this is not an outrageous line. Pick: A&M
Florida vs Georgia (Jacksonville) -6 1/2 — The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is a catchy name, but Georgia is still hungover from home loss to South Carolina. Pick: Florida
Kansas State at Kansas +6 — Kansas trying to win four games for the first time since 2009. They may make it – but not this week. Pick: Kansas State
Ole Miss at Auburn -19 — Despite two losses, Auburn is ranked 11th – ahead of undefeated teams Minnesota, Baylor and SMU. Two tough losses, but they are still explosive and respected. Pick: Auburn
Utah at Washington +3 1/2 — Ninth-ranked Utes don’t get a lot of national attention, but they’ve had only two losing seasons since joining the Pac-12 in 2011. Pick: Utah
Oregon at Southern Cal +5 – USC has had problems on the road, but they are 5-0 at home. Pick: USC
Cowboys at Giants +7 — Win at Philadelphia gave Jason Garrett some respite and he should win this one. But if it’s close, the hounds will be rightfully nipping at his heels again. Pick: New York
Bears at Eagles -5 – Eagles rebounded from shellacking in Dallas and with the Bears’ offensive struggled, Philly should get a nice home win. Pick: Eagles.
JOHN HENRY
Last week: 3-9
Season: 55-51-2
West Virginia at Baylor -17 1/2 — Only thing missing from this most-excellent Baylor football rebound is the district attorney. Just doesn’t feel the same. Pick: Baylor
TCU at Oklahoma State -3 — There are no honeymoons for TCU in the middle of the Big 12 season. A good Texas week is done. TCU hasn’t played well on the road, and this one is coming against a Cowboys unit coming off a good road win in Ames, Iowa. Pick: Oklahoma State
SMU at Memphis -5 1/2 — How poor are they that don’t have patience, Shakespeare asked somebody. How poor am I betting against SMU this year? Ick. Houston did me right last week. Memphis ain’t chopped liver. Pick: Memphis
UT-San Antonio at Texas A&M -38 — These are not the glory days of Larry Coker in San Antonio. Pick: Texas A&M
Florida vs Georgia (Jacksonville) -6 1/2 — You’re offering the No. 8 team in the country 61/2 on the road. Sure. Pick: Georgia
Kansas State at Kansas +6 — No one will mistake Kansas as the next coming of Knute Rockne’s Four Horsemen, but the days of Gomez Addams and 10 others going in there and winning are done for the moment. I’ll take the points. Pick: Kansas
Ole Miss at Auburn -19 — Johnny Reb on the road isn’t Sherman’s march through the South. Atlanta you’re safe. Auburn, you are, too. Pick: Auburn
Utah at Washington +3 1/2 — Nothing better than Pac-12 football. Not. Channeling wrestler Maniac Mark Lewin … “Utes!” Pick: Utah
Oregon at Southern Cal +5 — Trojans have kind of put the brakes on Urban Meyer’s Trojan Horse speculation, at least for now. I don’t like a USC’s freshman QB, even with Texas Tech favorite son Graham Harrell as his mentor, going against a good Ducks defense, which has made a season out of harassing quarterbacks. Pick: Oregon
Cowboys at Giants +7 — I know my history: Everything about this says the Cowboys will lay an egg after an impressive victory. And I also remember the last time the Cowboys were in New Jersey, a few weeks ago. Call an exorcist. Pick: Cowboys
Bears at Eagles -5 — Bears are tough to score on. They also aren’t Coryell’s Chargers. Pick: Bears
GIL LeBRETON
Last week: 6-6
Season: 53-53-2
West Virginia at Baylor -17 1/2 — That’s a lot of points to give, but West Virginia is capable of wetting the bed and losing by dozens. Pick: Da Bears
TCU at Oklahoma State -3 — Two teams yearning to find some consistency. Can Max Duggan handle a road venue that traditionally has tripped up the Frogs? Pick: Oklahoma State
SMU at Memphis -5 1/2 — The Ponies’ glory ride hits a pothole. Pick: Memphis
UT-San Antonio at Texas A&M -38 — There’s no stopping the Aggies in their bid to claim the No. 4 spot in the SEC West. Pick: A&M
Florida vs Georgia (Jacksonville) -6 1/2 — This is mostly a vote for Dan Mullen over Kirby Smart. Pick: Florida
Kansas State at Kansas +6 — Jayhawks out of miracles. K-State should be a touchdown better. Pick: Kansas State
Ole Miss at Auburn -19 — Rebels will struggle to piece together first downs. Pick: Auburn
Utah at Washington +3 1/2 — Pac-12 games continue to mystify me. Give me the home underdog in this key contest. Pick: Washington
Oregon at Southern Cal +5 — Trojans lead their division, even as fans talk about firing coach. Pick: Oregon
Cowboys at Giants +7 — Let’s see if the Cowboys truly are focused and on a roll. Pick: Cowboys
Bears at Eagles -5 — Philadelphia has an offense, at least. Can’t say the same for Bears. Pick: Eagles
RICHIE WHITT
Last week: 5-7
Season: 53-53-2
West Virginia at Baylor -17 1/2 — Since I’m stubborn (and stupid), I’m determined to win at least once this year against the Bears. Pick: West Virginia
TCU at Oklahoma State -3 — Frogs ready to spit more blood after Texas upset. Pick: TCU
SMU at Memphis -5 1/2 — Hate to say it (and see it), but the Miracle on Mockingbird is rudely aborted in Tennessee. Pick: Memphis
UT-San Antonio at Texas A&M -38 — Just out of principle – for an SEC team scheduling this game in November – I’m picking against the Aggies. Pick: UT-San Antonio
Florida vs Georgia (Jacksonville) -6 1/2 — Bulldogs’ QB Jake Fromm looks like a legit NFL prospect. Pick: Georgia
Kansas State at Kansas +6 — Wildcats are too good. Also too smart to lateral a blocked field goal in the waning seconds. Pick: Kansas State
Ole Miss at Auburn -19 — Tigers take out their SEC frustration by picking on someone their own size (and smaller). Pick: Auburn
Utah at Washington +3 1/2 — Utes are the best team in college football that no one thinks belongs among the best teams. Pick: Utah
Oregon at Southern Cal +5 — Ducks would be in national championship hunt had they not squandered 21-6 lead late against Auburn in season opener. Pick: Oregon
Cowboys at Giants +7 — Cowboys aren’t as good as they looked in rout of Eagles, but they’re way better than pathetic G-men. Pick: Cowboys
Bears at Eagles -5 — Philly got its house in order in Buffalo and will pummel reeling Bears. Pick: Eagles
MATT MOSLEY
Last week: 4-8
Season: 52-54-2
West Virginia at Baylor -17 1/2 — The Bears are getting a lot of love for being 7-0. They need to put the hammer down early against these Mountaineers. Pick: West Virginia
TCU at Oklahoma State -3 — Gary Patterson has a foothold on this season. He felt great about that win over the Horns. But taking the young Max Duggan to Stillwater is tough. Pick: Oklahoma State
SMU at Memphis -5 1/2 — College GameDay? REALLY?! I like this Mustangs story, but both these teams barely beat Tulsa. Pick: Memphis
UT-San Antonio at Texas A&M -38 — Kellen Mond can pad his stats against a bad team. These weird non-conference games in the SEC are an unwelcome sight to fans. Pick: Texas A&M
Florida vs Georgia (Jacksonville) -6 1/2 — I’d like to attend this game someday even though it’s in Jacksonville. It just sounds over the top. I don’t completely trust either team. Pick: Florida
Kansas State at Kansas +6 — Les Miles has already changed the way we think about the Jayhawks. K-State is less than a touchdown favorite after knocking off OU. Pick: K-State
Ole Miss at Auburn -19 — War Eagle hung tough with the No. 1 Tigahs for a good while. That was a headbangers’ ball. I don’t think much of Coach Luke’s team, but it will cover. Pick: Ole Miss
Utah at Washington +3 1/2 — I can’t stand the Utes. Constantly overrated in this awful conference. Pick: Washington
Oregon at Southern Cal +5 — Big game for the Trojans and Clay Helton. I don’t like USC in this spot. Pick: Oregon
Cowboys at Giants +7 — Cowboys looked awful the last time they played in this stadium. Daniel Jones has made the Giants a lot more dangerous. I still don’t trust the Cowboys to blow this team off the field. Pick: Giants
Bears at Eagles -5 — Bears offense is so bad that fans were praying Andy Dalton would come over in a trade. Pick: Eagles
JIMMY BURCH
Last week: 2-10
Season: 51-55-2
West Virginia at Baylor -17 1/2 — Baylor extends its unbeaten record in grand style on Thursday night TV. Pick: Baylor
TCU at Oklahoma State -3 — Two lookalike teams with similar freshman QBs on the rise. Give me the home team in a close one. Pick: Oklahoma State
SMU at Memphis -5 1/2 — I am done doubting the Mustangs until they give me reason to do so at the end of a 60-minute game, plus OT (if necessary). Pick: SMU
UT-San Antonio at Texas A&M -38 — For a large payday, UTSA embraces its role as piñata and the Aggies swing a big stick. Pick: Texas A&M
Florida vs Georgia (Jacksonville) -6 1/2 — I am not sure there is a touchdown’s worth of difference in these teams no matter where they play. Pick: Florida
Kansas State at Kansas +6 — Both teams are coming off huge victories, but Les’ Miles crew finds a way to extend the good vibes in front of the home crowd. Pick: Kansas
Ole Miss at Auburn -19 — Auburn wins but will be hard-pressed to cover if the Rebels avoid debilitating turnovers on offense. Pick: Ole Miss
Utah at Washington +3 1/2 — The Utes are the best team in the Pac-12 and the Huskies can be had at home. Pick: Utah
Oregon at Southern Cal +5 — Despite their many flaws, the Trojans remain undefeated at home this season. And this game is in LA. Pick: Southern Cal
Cowboys at Giants +7 — Once again, the Cowboys struggle in front of the NY crowd. But this time, they squeeze out an ugly win without covering. Pick: Giants
Bears at Eagles -5 — Win or lose, the Bears always play games that come down to a last-second field goal. Or so it seems. Pick: Bears
CARLOS MENDEZ
Last week: 3-9
Season: 50-56-2
West Virginia at Baylor -17 1/2 — After what we saw last week in this league, I’ll take all the points. Pick: West Virginia
TCU at Oklahoma State -3 — I have more confidence in the TCU offense. But not as much as the Chuba-powered OSU offense at home. Pick: Oklahoma State
SMU at Memphis -5 1/2 — Mustangs have reached 40-plus in all but two games. And they hit 37 and 34 in those. Pick: SMU
UT-San Antonio at Texas A&M -38 — Only because it’s hard to beat a team by that many points. I’ve learned. Pick: UTSA
Florida vs Georgia (Jacksonville) -6 1/2 — Dawgs have dominated the last two games. They’re off a bye. Sharp two weeks ago. Probably still stinging from that SC loss. Pick: Georgia
Kansas State at Kansas +6 — You thought beating OU was good. Now try your rival after they beat Tech on a blocked-field-goal-return-lateral-to-nobody-fumble-recovery-second-chance field goal. Pick: K-State
Ole Miss at Auburn -19 — Auburn may get bored. Pick: Ole Miss
Utah at Washington +3 1/2 — Feels like an overtime affair. Pick: Utah
Oregon at Southern Cal +5 — USC can hang with teams. Pick: USC
Cowboys at Giants +7 — Giants have enough at QB to put up points. Pick: Giants
Bears at Eagles -5 — Bears don’t have the punch to take advantage of that defense. Pick: Eagles
