The Wildcats have been blasted by Rutgers and Duke in their two road games, and if the Cornhuskers have done anything consistently well this year - other than turn the ball over with Jeff Sims - it is doing a good job against bad offenses. Northwestern Nebraska, 3:30 p.m., Big Ten PICK: Wake Forest (-1) to win by more than 1 point

The Demon Deacons have quarterback issues, but this is just a play against what I expect to be typical bizarro Pitt. The Panthers played to the script last week by upsetting undefeated Louisville, and that, of course, means they will go to Winston-Salem and lose to a Wake Forest team that has scored 16, 12 and 13 points the past three weeks, with a pair of two-touchdown losses to Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech in which it turned the ball over eight times. PICK: South Carolina (+7) to lose by fewer than 7 points (or win outright)

At the very least, quarterback Spencer Rattler will keep South Carolina within striking distance, and if the pass rush doesn't fall apart like it did against Florida's Graham Mertz, it can go to Missouri and pull the upset. The Gamecocks blew a double-digit, fourth-quarter lead last week against Florida, but their passing attack was on point. The Tigers are coming off a nice upset win at Kentucky and have potentially their biggest game in quite some time coming up against Georgia.
