And for the rest of the Championship Week Picks, I'm going with:
SEC Championship LSU +17.5 vs Georgia – Both teams are playing with house money. The SEC West was supposed to go to Bama, and if not the Tide, either A&M or Ole Miss. Not much was expected from LSU coming off a 6-7 season and a new, weird, head coach. The pressure is off to make the CFP after whiffing against A&M last week, but a chance to be SEC champs, how cool would that be?
For Georgia, they are in the CFP regardless of the outcome of this game. And while the Dawgs are the defensing national champions, what they are not, are the SEC champs. Here’s their chance to rectify that situation.
Georgia is a behemoth. They are in the total yards gained and top five in yards allowed. They are number one in fewest rushing yards allowed and in fewest points allowed. In fact, they are in the top 25 in just about every statistical category. They are so dominant, they have only played in a one score game, a win over Mizzou.

And while UGA is 6-6 ATS, they are 3-0 when the spread is less than 20 points. So, the real question is whether Georgia is going to go all out to win that SEC championship or hold things back and save it for the CFP.
I’m going to with the hold back a bit and let the defense continue to dominate. I’ll pass on the side bet and lay a quatloo on the under 52.0.
Sun Belt Championship Troy -8.5 vs Coastal Carolina – Coastal is only playing in this game since James Madison, a team they lost to by 40 points is ineligible to play. Coastal went from Group of 5 powerhouse to a nothing burger when QB Grayson McCall went down to injury.
Troy has gone under the radar this y but they are winning with one of the stingiest defenses in college football. But their offense is mediocre at best. QB Gunnar Watson has just 10 TDs and has thrown an equal amount of picks.
With tow offenses that will struggle I’ll pass on the side pack and put a quatloo in the under 48.0

American Championship Tulane -3.5 vs Central Florida – Tulane was a super longshot to win the AAC. They started the season at 60/1 to take the title. But the Wave were able to roll through the AAC slate with only one loss – to UCF.
The Knights ran wild over Tulane for 336 yards in a 38-31 win. This time around Tulane may not have to face QB and the Knights leading rusher John Rhys Plumlee. He is nursing a hamstring injury, Even if he plays, he will likely be limited.
Despite its difficulty defending the run, Tulane is still allows the fewest points in the AAC. The Wave are the hotter team right now having shellacked SMU and downing defending champ Cincinnati since the loss. UCF struggled to put away a bad South Florida and lost to Navy over the last two weeks.
I’ll take Tulane to cover cover the 3.5 points for a quatloo.

MWC Championship Fresno State +3.0 @ Boise State – Yet another rematch in a championship game. Back in Week6, Boise clobbered Fresno 40-20. But a lot has changed since then, primarily the return of FSU QB Jake Haener (17 TDs only 3 picks). The MWC's best offensive player missed the Bulldogs first four games including the loss to Boise.
What do Boise State, Clemson and Georgia all have in common? They have all played in their conference championship game in five of the past six seasons. Boise is playing in this game primarily (at home no less where the Broncos are undefeated) primarily due to their stud defense (9th in points allowed, 9th overall).
It’s the best offense in the MWC (Fresno) vs the best defense (Boise). This is the fourth time these teams have faced off in the MWC championship game with BSU leading 2-1. The last two games were decided by a FG so it’s no surprise the spread is 3.0 here.
I’ll take the better offense and the points for a quatloo.

Big Ten Championship Purdue +17.0 vs scUM – Another game I’m refusing to bet. Will Harbaugh be a dick and run up the score or will he keep things under wraps for the CFP.
I know, it’s a rhetorical question. I’ll watch and hope for a miracle but I’ll keep my quatloos in my pocket.
ACC Championship North Carolina +7.5 @ Clemson – Both teams are coming in on a sour note. Clemson was knocked out of the CFP with a loss to arch rival South Carolina last week. North Carolina started off 9-1 (its lone loss to Notre Dame) but has lost two in a row, Georgia Tech (as a 21.5 point favorite) and NC State in double OT.
Clemson is great against the run but that is not North Carolina’s game. Freshman QB Drake Maye, has the 4th best QBR in Div 1A and should torch the weakness in the Clemson defense – its secondary.
Clemson should have no problem blowing through North Carolina’s defense, it sucks against the run and the pass.
I have this as high scoring back and forth game so I’ll take UNC and the hook and the over 63.5 on a parlay.
