College Football Week 7 Picks And Top 25 Matchups

Just two Top 25 match-ups this week in college football, and I provide insight and analysis at Offshore Gaming Association with college football Week 7 picks, opinions and leans.

I also chip-in some stats and information you can bet on including college football defensive dominators. More in the weeks ahead as we review some stat profiles of leading teams and additional ways to handicap college football games.

Check out my Week 7 Top 25 college football betting report in Forbes. It features additional insight, analysis and odds on all the Top 25 games, plus picks and information you can bet on from contributing handicappers.

Please recognize the betting lines move and adjust, and I provide this information for news and entertainment purposes. Added information and betting data from Caesars Sportsbook shows the biggest line moves for college football Week 7 picks. Also, an over/under move of 5 points has the Ole Miss at Tennessee game up to an all-time SEC game high of 82.5 points.

Check out this week’s Top 25 picks and opinions below, along with my history as a proven sports handicapper that was independently documented in the past as a top of the leaderboard sports betting analyst.

I’ll update this page with more and the game analysis on Saturday, but you can read and review the college football Week 7 picks and game analysis at osga.

Texas has won the last two meetings including last year’s 41-34 road upset of No. 6 Oklahoma State. The Cowboys had a 527-287 yard edge but a minus-4 turnover margin was costly and the difference in defeat. Five of the last six meetings have been decided by a touchdown or less. Oklahoma State had won seven of the previous nine meetings prior to the last two years. The past eight meetings in Austin have gone under the total, although Texas won 36-30 in 2019. Oklahoma State enters off a bye for a situational edge while Texas has to regroup and get their emotions in order after blowing a 38-20 halftime lead last week in the loss to rival Oklahoma. But note that Texas is 18-2 SU and 14-6 ATS in their next game following the Red River Rivalry and showdown with Oklahoma. Since losing to Arkansas, Casey Thompson has taken over at quarterback for Texas and the Longhorns have averaged 52 points per game. Star RB Bijon Roberson leads the Big 12 in rushing with 789 yards and 8 touchdowns. Oklahoma State counters with a strong run defense allowing 90 yards per game and 2.7 yards per rush. Texas has played the stronger schedule and also has the stronger special teams. The Cowboys won’t be able to slow the strong, balanced attack of Texas, which both runs and passes for at least 235 yards per game. The line has dropped down with some support on the Cowboys, but the Longhorns Hook ’em at home.
