College Football is entering its twilight stage at Week 15, and we are getting closer and closer to the College Football Playoff. Currently, the top four teams are Alabama, Notre Dame, Clemson, and Ohio State in that order.

The Big 10 recently announced that they will not be enforcing their rule that dictated a team must play at least six games in order to qualify for the Big 10 title game, which opens the door for Ohio State to once again make an appearance in the championship. What was arguably the most intriguing matchup this weekend in Cincinnati vs. Tulsa was canceled due to COVID-19 problems that arose within the Bearcats program. The two teams will still meet in the AAC title game on December 19, but we'll have to wait a bit longer for that one. Unfortunately, this means that there are only two games this weekend that pit two ranked teams against each other, and we will go in-depth for each of those matchups and see if there is anything of value to bet on. DraftKings is offering a great deal to new users right now where they can get up to $1,000 in bonus cash just for signing up.

AP Ranked H2H Matchups

#19 Iowa (5-2) vs #25 Wisconson (2-2)

Spread: WIS -2, IOWA +2 Total: 41.5 Iowa put together a simply magnificent second half of football last week against Illinois to win their fifth straight contest. First-year starting QB Spencer Petras had his best game of the season, as the redshirt sophomore completed 18 of 28 passes for 220 yards and three TDs. This allowed the pressure to be taken off the Hawkeyes running game and stretched the field for Iowa. On the other hand, Wisconson has looked dreadful offensively since their dominant win against Illinois in their first week of the season. The Badgers have managed just 13 points over the last two weeks of football, with Indiana completely shutting them out of the endzone last weekend. Wisconson's defense is still very good, and will likely keep this game close. I envision a classic pound-the-rock type of Big 10 battle, and for that, I give the advantage to the home team. Prediction: IOWA +2, O41.5

#9 Miami (8-1) vs. #20 North Carolina (7-3)

Spread: MIA -3.5, NC +3.5 Total: 67.5 This is going to be the exact opposite of the above game, where both of these teams will be laying tons of points on the board. It will come down to whose defense decides they want to show up. Miami's defense has been really good at times, including a 48-0 shutout of the Duke Blue Devils last week. The problem is that they have been gashed too often, with shootout wins over Louisville (47-34) and NC State (44-41) that lay doubt as to whether they are actually any good. If Tar Heels QB Sam Howell can come anywhere close to his 550 yards and 6 TD performance against Wake Forrest, North Carolina is more than capable of pulling off the massive upset. This is going to be a high-scoring affair, and I like the Tar Heels to win outright. Prediction: NC +3.5, O67.5 https://youtu.be/c67LA7pq9H4
