College Football Conference Championship Weekend Picks, Predictions, DFS Lineup Tips: Clemson vs. SMU, Penn State vs. Oregon, Georgia vs. Texas, UNLV vs. Boise State, Iowa State vs. Arizona State and more

1 hour 11 minutes

FRIDAY: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (+3.5) at Jacksonville State Gamecocks, 7 p.m. ET, CBSSN

I’m just guessing here.

Brian’s Pick: Jacksonville State -3.5

Jordan’s Pick: JSU -3.5

FRIDAY: No. 20 UNLV Rebels (+4.5) at No. 10 Boise State Broncos, 8 p.m. ET, FOX

Boise seems to be slowing down. Ashton Jeanty is Heisman-worthy but banged up. UNLV could steal this CFP bid with a win.

Brian’s Pick: UNLV +4.5

Jordan’s Pick: BSU -4.5

FRIDAY: Tulane Green Wave (-4.5) at No. 24 Army Black Knights, 8:30 p.m. ET, ABC

Tulane blew their CFP chances last week but should rebound here as their defense limits Army’s ground game.

Brian’s Pick: Tulane -4.5

Jordan’s Pick: Tulane -4.5

No. 16 Iowa State Cyclones (+2.5) vs. No. 15 Arizona State Sun Devils (Arlington, TX), Noon ET, ABC

Iowa State is set to circle back into CFP contention. Arizona State missing Jordyn Tyson strengthens ISU’s chances.

Brian’s Pick: Iowa State +2.5

Jordan’s Pick: ASU -2.5

Ohio Bobcats (+3.5) vs. Miami (OH) Redhawks (Detroit, MI), Noon ET, ESPN

Guessing again.

Brian’s Pick: Ohio +3.5

Jordan’s Pick: Miami (OH) -3.5

No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (+2.5) vs. No. 2 Texas Longhorns (Atlanta, GA), 4:00 p.m. ET, ABC

Texas has improved their run game and trenches, but it’s hard to doubt Georgia in Atlanta.

Brian’s Pick: Georgia +2.5

Jordan’s Pick: Texas -2.5

Marshall Thundering Herd (+5.5) at Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

Louisiana should win at home despite coaching distractions.

Brian’s Pick: Louisiana -5.5

Jordan’s Pick: UL -5.5

No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions (+3.5) at No. 1 Oregon Ducks (Indianapolis, IN), 8:00 p.m. ET, CBS

Oregon is the best team but could be vulnerable. I’m taking Penn State for the upset.

Brian’s Pick: Penn State +3.5

Jordan’s Pick: Oregon -3.5

No. 17 Clemson Tigers (+2.5) at No. 8 SMU Mustangs (Charlotte, NC), 8:00 p.m. ET, ABC

Clemson could pull off an upset after gaining experience from last week’s matchup.

Brian’s Pick: Clemson +2.5

Jordan’s Pick: SMU -2.5

DK Saturday Main Slate DFS Picks

Record Year to Date: 24 Wins 28 Ties 31 Losses

Quarterback

Cade Klubnik, Clemson ($9,000) – Klubnik’s dual-threat ability makes him a strong play against SMU’s defense, which has struggled against top-tier QBs like Shough and Hoover.

Rocco Becht, Iowa State ($7,600) – Becht is reliable as Iowa State continues to rely on the pass. Pair him with Jayden Higgins or Jaylin Noel for upside.

Running Back

Bill Davis, ULL ($4,900) – The freshman has been productive, finding the end zone consistently. He’s a great value against Marshall’s porous run defense.

Cam Skattebo, Arizona State ($10,300) – Skattebo’s workload and versatility make him a must-play, especially with Tyson out. Iowa State’s run defense struggles against explosive runners.

Wide Receiver

Gunnar Helm, Texas ($4,000) – Helm has delivered in big games, posting solid lines against top opponents. He’s a steal at this price.

Bryant Wesco Jr, Clemson ($3,400) – Wesco’s role is growing, and he’s primed for a breakout. His downfield ability and SMU’s pass defense set him up for a strong outing.
