There’s no denying the significance of Week 10 in the college football season.
Following a disappointing Week 9, the expert picks require a rebound effort.
Last week, only one out of our six featured prognosticators achieved a winning record.
Considering the significant consequences of College Football Playoff implications on numerous games this week, will our pickers have the audacity to predict the outcomes of the highlighted matchups?
Michigan sportsbooks have provided the odds for each selection, giving us a glimpse into the available options.
ESPN’s SVP, Stanford Steve & The Bear college football picks
Last week, the normally formidable trio of Scott Van Pelt, Stanford Steve, and The Bear from ESPN encountered a collective struggle.
The Bear had a strong record of 4 wins and 2 losses, while Stanford Steve only managed to secure 1 win out of 2 games. On the other hand, SVP’s performance resulted in 4 wins, 6 losses, and 1 tie.
Van Pelt plans to display a prominent card this week, featuring Rutgers as the favorite to cover a significant spread against Michigan. On the other hand, The Bear and Stanford Steve are opting for a more conservative approach, limiting their picks to just three.
SVP (4-6)
- Missouri -1 vs. Kentucky (Defeat)
- Virginia is expected to win by a margin of 7 points against North Carolina.

Barstool college football expert picks
Dave Portnoy’s trajectory is heading in the opposite direction.
During Week 7, the Barstool Sports founder had an impressive winning streak. However, in Week 8, their record dropped to 8-9, and the following week they finished with a 9-12 record.
Portnoy’s season record stands at 84 wins, 82 losses, and 3 ties, putting him slightly above a .500 winning percentage.
Be cautious of this week’s predictions as Portnoy, Big Cat, and Rico all failed to predict their “Lock of the Week” in Week 9.

Cash The Ticket Picks
Mike Valenti and Jim Costa can celebrate the fact that they didn’t have a losing record last week, which is great news for them.
Unfortunately, they also did not achieve a winning record.
In recent weeks, Valenti achieved a perfect 4-4 record while Costa had a solid 5-5 performance. Although not outstanding, the Cash The Ticket Podcast duo has displayed consistent results.
The one thing that has remained certain between these two is the absence of a victory for the “Costa Lock.”
Last week, the “Costa Lock” trend persisted as it now stands at 0-3, with Michigan falling short by a mere half point to cover.
Costa is confidently placing his lock on the most significant game of the weekend.
Valenti (3-2)
- Georgia is favored to win by 8.5 points against Tennessee.
- Missouri with a +2.5 point spread lost against Kentucky.
- Kansas wins against Oklahoma State with a 2.5-point advantage.
- Nebraska loses to Minnesota with a 15.5-point deficit.
- Texas is favored by 2.5 points in their matchup against Kansas State, and they are projected to win.
