We are so close to the final quarter of the regular season, and there are still some great races in conference play and for the CFB Playoffs. We have three matchups featured that will matter for both, including one potential national champion contender going into the most hostile environment they’ve seen this season.

#7 TCU  vs. West Virginia

• Leg 1: Maxx Duggan over 277.5 passing yards (-114)
• Leg 2: Over 68.5 total points (-114)
• Leg 3: TCU -7.5 (-106)
• Leg 4: Quentin Johnson over 84.5 (-114)

Last week was a big test for TCU as they faced Kansas State’s top 25 scoring defense, which was the first top 75 in that category they’ve seen this season. In the first half, the Wildcats controlled the ball on offense and contained the Horned Frogs, and with a 28-10 lead, it looked like they would come away with the upset. TCU flipped the switch on that top-three offense and scored the final 28 points to stay perfect on the year. Max Duggan did his usual, threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns, and continues his fantastic season.

West Virginia, at 1-3 in a very competitive B12, will not only have the chance to play spoiler this year. The defense has been abysmal as the 117th scoring defense and is 103rd in third-down defense.

That’s been their downfall, as they can put up the points averaging over 34 per game. The run game has been masterful with Tony Mathis Jr, and TCU hasn’t been to win in the trenches at all this season. Even with a below-average defense, the Horned Frogs have too much firepower for the Mountaineers to keep up but look for an old fashion B12 shootout.

#2 Ohio State  vs. #13 Penn State

• Leg 1: Ohio State -14.5 (-114)
• Leg 2: Under 60.5 (-110)
• Leg 3: Emeka Egbuka over 81.5 receding yards (-114)

Ohio State is looking like one of the best teams in the country, especially with how they’ve dominated their opponents this season. This may be their toughest challenge going into Happy Valley to face Penn State.

Don’t just look at the score from the game against Iowa because it was deceiving. They got off to a slow start, and Iowa could stop the run and had stops in the red zone. Still, Ohio State won by 45.

Penn State has a nice tandem in the backfield. If you look back at their games, they struggle offensively as a whole if they can’t establish the run. The preseason talk was the improvement of the Buckeyes’ defensive front, especially at linebacker, and they’ve come through with the eight fewest rushing yards allowed this season. Quarterback Sean Clifford has improved this year, but he’s not a takeover type of guy, especially when on the other side is CJ Stroud.

I like the Nittany Lion’s secondary, and this will be one of the better ones Ohio State sees all year, but their lack of a pass rush is what can hurt them. You cannot allow CJ Stroud to have time to let guys get open, and that will do them in.

#10 Wake Forest  vs. Louisville

• Leg 1: Wake Forest -3.5 (-110)
• Leg 2: Sam Hartman over 298.5 passing yards (-114)
• Leg 3: A.T. Perry over 81. 5 receding yards (-114)

Wake Forest needs to be discussed more than they are right now. They’re coming into today at No. 10 in the country, and their only loss is to No. 4 Clemson in overtime. Tennesse’s Hendon Hooker is the veteran quarterback that’s getting all Heisman attention. Still, Hartman is just two positions behind in passing yards, four in passer efficiency, and has three more passing touchdowns, all of which are top ten.

Malik Cunningham is a special player; when he has the ball, he’s a drop-everything-you-’re-doing-and-watch-him type of player.  Last year he obliterated the Wake Forest secondary with 309 passing yards on just 19 completions. The Demon Deacons had a ton of injuries on defense last season; Cunningham will have a good stat line but not 16.2 yards per completion.

From a pure matchup standpoint, the Cardinals are facing by far their best offensive opponents this year, and Hartman is well-above any quarterback they’ve seen. No one has been able to stop the Wake Forest offense, and it’s not starting with Louisville.
