Pick-Six: Best bets for NC State-Clemson, UCLA-LSU, Tennessee-Oklahoma, Upset Du Jour
At the same time, while I really like the Vols this season, laying more than a touchdown on the road at night in Norman seems like a dangerous deal for a redshirt freshman quarterback making his first career start.
Both offenses want to play with tempo, but there could be a lot of punts early on in this game.
THE PICK: Under 57

No. 13 Kansas State at BYU (+6.5, O/U 47.5)The Wildcats are coming off a statement win over No. 20 Arizona, bottling up Noah Fifita and the Wildcats' offense while Avery Johnson DJ Giddens and the running game got going.
This is obviously a tricky spot — a night game in Provo where the Cougs are hosting a White Out — but by nearly every analytical metric, K-State is the better team.
BYU is 3-0, but Kalani Sitake's team hasn't exactly looked like roaring lions beating a so-so SMU team (18-15) and a bad Wyoming squad. I think the Wildcats handle their business and move to 1-0 in Big 12 play with another double-digit win.
THE PICK: Kansas State -6.5
Upset Du Jour TCU at SMU (+2.5, O/U 58.5)The Battle for the Iron Skillet isn't quite as hot this season with both the Horned Frogs and Mustangs struggling out of the gate in 2024. TCU saw a multi-touchdown lead over UCF disappear last weekend, while SMU has been juggling quarterbacks for the first three weeks of the season.
Rhett Lashlee finally put an end to the see-sawing series between Preston Stone Kevin Jennings , tabbing the latter the team's full-time starter moving forward. Considering Jennings offers a dual-threat ability against TCU's spotty run defense, the Mustangs have real upset potential Saturday night.
