Faculty Soccer Playoff Quarterfinal Betting Picks, Predictions

The Faculty Soccer Playoff Committee’s bracket restructuring has led to what ought to be a implausible week of faculty soccer video games. 

All however one sport is a one-score unfold, and we have now what feels just like the eight strongest groups over the course of the season enjoying this week. 

Is the Massive Ten going to proceed its current success within the playoffs, or will somebody new spoil the social gathering this week? Let’s get into the picks.

#10 Miami vs #2 Ohio State (-9.5) Whole: 40.5

In a spherical one matchup towards Texas A&M, Miami was in a position to lean on Mark Fletcher Jr to put on down the Aggies and let their protection win it for them. I don’t suppose Miami may have as a lot success working towards a a lot stouter Ohio State line of defense and might want to lean on Carson Beck to drag off the large upset. I believe Ohio State’s protection can win this sport on their very own, however much like final season, Ryan Day turned up the warmth on offense and let Jeremiah Smith take over within the playoffs. I don’t see why Ohio State doesn’t win comfortably of their first playoff sport of the season.

Decide: Ohio State -9.5
Lean: o40.5

#5 Oregon (-2.5) vs #4 Texas Tech Whole: 51.5

The worst Oregon has seemed this season was when Indiana persistently dialed up stress towards them of their matchup at Autzen Stadium. Texas Tech has a protection that may do the identical factor to Dante Moore and the Geese. 

They’ve an elite run protection to cease Oregon’s downhill run sport, and two of the perfect linebackers within the nation, Jacob Rodrigue,z who completed fifth within the Heisman, and Ben Roberts, who’s probably the most underrated piece on this Purple Raider protection. Nevertheless, I don’t have any religion in Behren Morton persistently shifting the ball for Texas Tech, and Dante Moore has improved rather a lot as a passer since their loss to Indiana. Oregon will steal a win, but it surely’s going to be an in depth one.

Decide: Oregon -2.5 and u51.5

#9 Alabama vs #1 Indiana (-7) Whole: 48.5

Ty Simpson has been telling the media that no one believes in him or Alabama. That sentiment coming from an Alabama soccer staff is ridiculous, but it surely is perhaps true. Indiana is healthier than Alabama at each single degree. 

Fernando Mendoza is the Heisman for a purpose, and he confirmed he could make each large throw when the stakes are excessive, simply as he did within the Massive 10 Championship. Simpson hasn’t seen a protection half as proficient as Indiana’s all season, and I believe this would be the greatest blowout of the weekend. I like Indiana on this one.

Decide: Indiana -7

#6 Ole Miss vs #3 Georgia (-6.5) Whole: 55.5

After destroying an Alabama staff I’ve felt was overrated all yr, many have began to imagine that Georgia is enjoying at a degree the place they might win a nationwide title. I don’t perceive this in any respect. The week earlier than, they barely escaped a really common Georgia Tech. 

This similar Georgia staff has performed with fireplace all season lengthy, and I imagine they’re very beatable. Ole Miss ought to have overwhelmed them of their first matchup if Lane Kiffin hadn’t mismanaged the fourth quarter so drastically. Luckily, Kiffin isn’t there to make that very same mistake. I additionally imagine that the Rebels are on a mission to show Kiffin incorrect and proceed on their playoff run with an upset win over Georgia.

Decide: Ole Miss +6.5
Whole: o55.5
