Your FREE PICK here on Saturday is on VIRGINIA TECH. I think both coaches could be on the way out at the end of the season. So this is as much as a 'must win' for both teams. Part of me wants to grab the Orange with the way they have played - These guys have been in some dogfights. Not just coming off the 17-14 Clemson game. Let's go back. 40-37 OT loss at home to Wake - an Orange FG to tie it with 34 seconds left, take the 3pt lead in OT, 22 yard TD, ballgame. 33-30 loss at Florida State who hits FG as time expires. 24-21 win over Liberty at home, FG as time expires. That is a tough run. Hokies lose in what I thought would be a shoot-out, 28-7 to Pitt. The 32-29 loss to ND really gassed them. But again, not much effort last week, while we have seen this Syracuse run. If SU wins or hangs in there again, well, man, these kids will be winners in whatever they do after football. Always tough to get up off the mat from a tough loss. And these guys have done it since September 24th- On the road though, small home faves get the nod. Take the VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES to win by double digits this afternoon. - Higgs 

Taking IOWA STATE. Holy cow. We have a perfect storm here in my eyes. Unranked Cyclones favored by a TD over an Undefeated team ranked in the Top 10! Added bonus - Said team is off monster road win over Texas Longhorns. Only thing that would be the proverbial icing on the cake if it was a win over Oklahoma. But all the ingredients are in this home cake to rise to the occasion. 8* Sure Shot IOWA STATE 

Taking OHIO STATE. Don't get all wrapped up the Hoosiers going 8-2 ATS last 10 in this series. OSU huge edge today. Off their bye week. Indiana off a 20-15 loss vs Michigan State. On the heels of getting shut out 24-0 at Penn State. This offense is sputtering. Take out the Idaho 56pt game and this team is putting up a little more than 15ppg. Everyone loves Pennix. Guy is always banged up. This team is reeling. OSU looking to come out huge here. In their only loss, the offense put up over 600 yards. We know that OSU will close in on 50. Are you counting on this Hoosiers team to get the mid 20s? 5* Best Bet OHIO STATE 

Taking UTAH. It has taken about half the season, but finally, the Utes, who I had back in August to win the PAC 12, that team has shown up. Had the Utes last week and they stomped a pretty hot Arizona State team. Down 21-7 and roared back - I think they make light work of Oregon State. Home dog no much to get exited about. Beavers 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 in that role. Short number, but going with the road faves. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES 

Taking WYOMING. Right off the bat- revenge game for last year. 19pt faves losing outright. Add in getting shutout at home last week. What better remedy than New Mexico. Lobos come in with just an awful offense. 36-6, 31-7, 38-10, 20-13, 34-0.  5 straight losses. 7.5 ppg. - 2 wins vs HBU 27-17 and New Mexico State 34-25. Again. Cowboys in off a shutout 17-0 where they turned the ball over 5 times. New Mexico had a backup freshman QB last week. Big number for sure as Wyoming only averages 25ppg. But I think they drop 30+ here and the Lobos are limping to the finish line. 4* Money Maker WYOMING 

Taking OKLAHOMA. Sooners can name the score. But I think they win by at least 40. Kansas managed 2 late TDs to make 41-0 look a tad better at 41-14. We gladly took that Texas Tech win last week. Now with a new guy under center, Oklahoma looks like what Oklahoma was suppose to look like. Whoever paid Spencer Rattler this year has some egg on their face. Williams comes in and has more TD passes in 6 quarters than Rattler did all season (WCU does not count!) Will we be 55-10 sounds about right. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS 

Taking ALABAMA. You are sold on taking Tennessee? 14 straight Tide wins. 48-17.. 35-13.. 58-21.. 45-7 .. 49-10.. That is just back to 2016. But you get the idea. Who have the Vols scored against? Any defense or team like Alabama? Are they going to keep Alabama from scoring 50+. Nope. Line will only go up. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA 

Taking PITT. We have faded Clemson all year. Not going to go against that now. Give me the home dogs. Tigers have been like a wounded animal grazing in the plains. Every team in the ACC is taking it's best shots at it trying to fall the King of the Conference. Value play here for me. 4* Money Maker PITT PANTHERS
