@2HokiesIn1, just so you know, your signature does not come up on posts, just on comments. So having the link in there is less helpful.
(2) Ohio State at (13) Penn State (anOSU -15.5) OSU doesn't lose at this point in the season unless it's to an unranked Purdue at night
Nope Dame at (16) Syracuse (🍊 -2.5) just here for the Sean Tucker tweets
(9) OKState at (22) Kansas State (KSU -0.5)
(17) Illinois at Nebraska (Big I -7.5) I can't believe Bielema got another P5 job and is actually good
(19) Kentucky at (3) Tennessee (Hooker -12.5) Cats cover, Hooker wins
(15) Ole Miss at AtM (Fighting Buffetts -2.5) put Jimbo in the grave
(2) Ohio State at (13) Penn State (anOSU -15.5) - I really struggle with these. I think it's almost a lock that OSU will win. But will they win by 16 or more? In 4 B1G games so far, they have won by 31, 39, 29, 44. So do they keep the trend going? I say yes, until proven otherwise.
Nope Dame at (16) Syracuse (🍊 -2.5) - ND has been up and down all season. Played OSU closer than anyone. Lost to Marshall. Beat UNC. Lost to Stanford. This feels like a game that ND gets up for and wins outright. (#goacc)
(9) OKState at (22) Kansas State (KSU -0.5) - I don't think either of these teams really like to play defense. Both teams can score but I think Ok State will score more.
(17) Illinois at Nebraska (Big I -7.5) - Nebraska is...not good
(19) Kentucky at (3) Tennessee (Hooker -12.5) - When UK has gone up against good teams they have struggled to score. If we know anything about Tennessee, it's that they are going to score points (50 PPG). Lots of them. I don't think Kentucky (26 PPG) will be able to keep up.
(15) Ole Miss at AtM (Fighting Buffetts -2.5) - The tammies are due for a win they don't deserve. I think they get it this week.

BOTW: Picked up 4 of these in Philly last weekend. Celebrating a no-longer-a-teen's birthday Saturday. This should do the trick

That is a wide spread, but Penn State disappointed me against MIchigan.
Nope Dame at (16) Syracuse (🍊 -2.5)
Never in a thousand years would I have thought I'd pick 'cuse in this matchup, but here we are.
(9) OKState at (22) Kansas State (KSU -0.5)
I picked'em
(17) Illinois at Nebraska (Big I -7.5)
Nebraska is a disastah.
(19) Kentucky at (3) Tennessee (Hooker -12.5)
I expect Tennessee to come out and win this one big.
(15) Ole Miss at AtM (Fighting Buffetts -2.5)
Tammies will continue to fall all over themselves this weekend.
BOTW: It has been a while since I added a BOTW. This is mostly because I haven't drank much worth mentioning, but this year's Richbrau Church Hill Imperial Stout was released today and I am going to go grab a couple bottles before the weekend. I really like all of their stouts (outside of the randalled ones, that's just not my thing) and I love when everyone starts rolling them out for the holidays.
PSU wild guess
Norte Dame The orange can't be for real
OkState I know nothing
Ill Neb is bad
Hooker lots of points for UT, Ky cannot keep up
Ole Miss f Jimbo
