Picks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.
Saturday's slate has plenty to look at. Ohio State at USC is the headliner, with Florida and Georgia in Atlanta, Northwestern at Oregon, South Carolina at Oklahoma and Arizona at Texas Tech also on the card.
My picks come from PropFinder's game projections, which I compare with the market spread and total. I write up the bets where the model sees value, along with the probability it assigns. Lines move, so check the current number before you bet.
Ohio State Buckeyes at USC Trojans
Ohio State is 6-1 and first in PropFinder's power ratings, and USC is 6-2 and 23rd. They kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. PropFinder's projection has Ohio State winning 35.1 to 22.8.
OSU -6.5 (-100, Novig): PropFinder projects OSU by 12.3
OSU -6.5
Point Spread
The market has Ohio State laying 6.5 points, while PropFinder's model makes the Buckeyes 12.3-point favorites, a gap of 5.8 points. The model gives Ohio State a 63% chance to cover and a 76% chance to win the game outright.
That is a clear difference between the number and the projection, which is why I like OSU -6.5. The best price I found is -100 at Novig.
Over 51 (-110, Caesars): PropFinder projects 57.9 total points
Over 51
Total Points
The total is 51 and the model projects 57.9 combined points, 6.9 above the market. It gives the over a 66% probability.
Ohio State's projected 35.1 points does most of the work, with USC adding 22.8. Over 51 is available at -110 at Caesars.
Florida Gators vs. Georgia Bulldogs
Florida is 5-2 and 19th in PropFinder's power ratings, and Georgia is 6-1 and third. The teams meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a neutral site, at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC. PropFinder's projection has Georgia winning 31.8 to 21.3.

Under 56.5
Total Points
The market total is 56.5 and PropFinder's projection is 53.1 combined points, 3.4 below the line. The model gives the under a 58% probability.
The model also likes Georgia to win, at 73%, but the point spread is close to the market's 11.5, so my interest is in the total. The best price on Under 56.5 is -104 at Novig.
Northwestern Wildcats at Oregon Ducks
Northwestern is 6-1 and 20th in PropFinder's power ratings, and Oregon is 4-3 and 15th. They kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET at Autzen Stadium, streaming on Peacock. PropFinder's projection has Oregon winning 28.5 to 21.3.
