Oddsmakers and pundits weigh in on Saturday's games, including USC-Wisconsin, Iowa-Minnesota and Indiana at Michigan.
Week 8 of the college football season arrives with a lighter ranked slate but no shortage of betting previews. Outlets are circulating predictions for several matchups, including the 16th-ranked USC Trojans traveling to face Wisconsin in a Big Ten clash, and No. 15 Iowa heading to Minnesota.
Elsewhere on the board, No. 6 Indiana visits Michigan, which is making a quarterback change. Pitt, coming off two straight losses after starting quarterback Mason Heintschel went down for the season with an ACL injury, travels to face top-ranked Miami. The Panthers turned to Holden Geriner against North Carolina but fell 21-17, then shifted to Corey Dailey as the team searches for stability under center.
Later in the day, Houston and Utah round out one of the featured picks for bettors working through the Saturday slate. With only a couple of ranked matchups on the calendar, much of the week's attention is going toward odds and best-bet columns rather than marquee showdowns.
None of Saturday's games have been played yet, so the previews remain speculative for now.
