Model backs Penn State and Auburn against the spread in Week 7
A computer model has made Week 7 college football betting picks for games across the United States.
It recommends Penn State to cover the 6.5-point spread at Michigan, meaning the model expects the Nittany Lions to lose by fewer than seven points or win.
The model says Michigan has struggled to cover spreads after a bye and has had offensive and turnover problems this season.
It also picks Auburn to cover the 20.5-point spread at Georgia, expecting the Tigers to keep the score relatively close.
Auburn is rested after a bye, while Georgia is coming off a win over Alabama and has a bye next week.
The model simulates every FBS game 10,000 times, but these are betting predictions, not guaranteed results.
