Top college football predictions for Week 7
One of the top college football picks Marshall is recommending for Week 7: He’s backing No. 7 Alabama (-21.5) to cover against South Carolina as the Tide return home for a noon ET matchup on Saturday. Perhaps no other team in college football has had quite a two-week swing as the Tide, who beat Georgia in one of the games of the year in Week 5 before losing as a three-score favorite at Vanderbilt in Week 6.
Marshall, however, notes that the Tide have still covered in 13 of their last 20 overall dating back to last season. Kalen DeBoer was also 15-12 ATS at Washington from 2022-23. The Gamecocks, meanwhile, are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 as underdogs.
He’s also taking the Over (50.5) in this matchup since 12 of the past 15 Alabama games have cleared the total, including four of five this season. Last week’s game at Vanderbilt hit the Over (53.5) with more than three touchdowns to spare. See which other picks to make here.
