No. 3 Michigan Wolverines (-4.5, 44.5) at No. 10 Penn State Nittany Lions
Midday ET, Beaver Stadium, College Park, Pa.
Van Pelt’s choose: Penn State +4.5
Prepared to simply get a flame thrower out at midday on Saturday? I’m. Let’s begin with Penn State. Michigan is great — perhaps the most effective crew within the nation — however who’s the most effective crew they’ve performed? It is mid-November and so they actually have not been on the sphere with a crew who’s near them. That may be as a result of they’re that good. However the Nittany Lions are going to make them show it, and I am backing them at residence.

SVP: 1-4 all-time when selecting Previous Dominion
NC State Wolfpack (-2, 42.5) at Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Miami Hurricanes at No. 4 Florida State Seminoles (-14, 51.5)
3:30 p.m. ET on ABC, Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee, Fla.

3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, FBC Mortgage Stadium, Orlando, Fla.
Van Pelt’s choose: UCF +2.5
Our remaining play of the week … this line stinks like pooptown. UCF at residence in opposition to red-hot Oklahoma State. Mike Gundy has accomplished a brilliant job — gained 5 in a row. However the Knights at residence getting a small quantity is our remaining play of the week.
SVP: 2-1 all-time when selecting UCF
That is 9. We began in Vegas, so let’s shut with Vegas … I am just like the man in a foul, untucked shirt who had one too many vodka sodas going to the cash machine at 3 a.m. for extra blackjack cash, however dammit I am gonna go down swinging.
