College Football 2018: Pick Against the Spread for Week 4

Here are our College Football picks against the spread for week four of the season from some of the premiere games from around the country.

The College Football regular season will already be one-fourth of the way through when Saturday is all said and done.

It’s crazy to think that we’re already 25 percent of the way through the season when it seems as if we just started.

The good news is, though, we still have a long way to go.

Let’s take a look at our picks against the spread for five of College Football’s premiere games from around the country. If you’re looking for our spread prediction for Clemson vs. Georgia Tech, click here.

We were 3-2 last week, making us 10-5 on the season.

• Notre Dame at Wake Forest

Current Spread: Wake Forest +6.5

Spread Prediction:

The Fighting Irish are not quite as good as many thought coming into the season. Imagine that.

Notre Dame is barely beating teams at home, so going on the road, I don’t think things will be any different. I’m not sure if the Demon Deacons will win the game outright, but I do think they cover the spread. This is a field goal game to me that could go either way.

• Texas A&M at Alabama

Current Spread: Alabama -26

Spread Prediction:

26 points is a lot of points.

But, until I see a defense slow down Tua Tagovailoa and that Crimson Tide offense, I have no choice but to pick them despite how large a spread might be.

• TCU at Texas

Current Spread: Texas +3

Spread Prediction:

I know people want Texas to be back. The Longhorn brand is something that just brings excitement to the world of College Football. But, they did just lose to Maryland. Beating USC really isn’t all that impressive.

I think TCU covers that spread of three points easily. Honestly, I’m shocked it’s that low.

• Stanford at Oregon

Current Spread: Oregon +2.5

Spread Prediction:

It’s not very often that a Pac-12 game is the premiere game of the weekend. I really like Justin Herbert, the quarterback for Oregon. With the game being played at home, I’m going with the Ducks not only to cover the spread, but to win outright. I’m just not a big believer in Stanford and I think this is the game in which people begin to view Oregon as a contender to win the Pac-12.

• Wisconsin at Iowa

Current Spread: Iowa +3

Spread Prediction:

The winner of this game wins the Big Ten West.

It’s not very often that we see a division-deciding match up in September, but that’s exactly what we have in this one.

I think Wisconsin rebounds after losing to BYU last week. The Badgers cover that three-point spread and make their stamp on the Big Ten West division.

So, to review:

• Wake Forest +6.5 vs. Notre Dame
• Alabama -26 vs. Texas A&M
• TCU -3 vs. Texas
• Oregon +2.5 vs. Stanford
• Wisconsin -3 vs. Iowa
