Ohio State Football: Week 10 predictions, big games on tap
Georgia vs Florida:
Florida is one of the most underrated teams in the country. I believe there’s a drop off after the Top 5, but the Gators are a great team this year and Dan Mullen (Florida +6) thrives as an underdog.
Kyle Trask has done a phenomenal job filling in the starting QB role and I expect more of the same against a stingy Georgia defense. The Bulldogs are stout against their opponents, but their offense has been suspect.
Jake Fromm and company haven’t impressed me all year and I think Georgia is overrated. These games sometimes turn into shootouts and if it does give the immediate advantage to Florida. I think it’s higher than the experts think so give me the Gators outright.
Florida 34 Georgia 30
Oregon at USC:
The Coliseum will be a trick venue for Oregon who has struggled defensively in recent weeks after starting the year hot. Justin Herbert is one of the best QBs in the country and the best in his conference. But I like the Trojan defense to mix up their looks and make it a long day for him.
Kedon Slovis for USC has been impressive all year and I expect more of the same against the Ducks. He will lead them to an upset victory in a hard-fought game.
USC 26 Oregon 24
Utah at Washington:
Chris Petersen is 14-0 in the regular season with 12 or more days to prepare. Regardless, this feels like a spot to pick the Huskies so I will.
Utah hasn’t been at full strength very much this season. The Utes will be too dependent on RB Zack Moss and Petersen and his staff will dial something up to slow him down. The Huskies get the upset in an ugly one.
Washington 23 Utah 21
