College football odds, lines, bets, predictions for Week 7, 2021: Proven model backing Iowa, Ole Miss

Georgia has taken over as the top-ranked team in college football following Alabama’s loss to Texas A&M. The Bulldogs will play host to No. 11 Kentucky on Saturday afternoon, where they are 22.5-point favorites in the latest Week 7 college football odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Alabama has a chance to bounce back from its disappointing loss when it travels to Mississippi State. The Crimson Tide are 17-point favorites in the Week 7 college football spreads.

Elsewhere on the Week 7 college football schedule, No. 25 Texas is favored by 5.5-points in its matchup against No. 12 Oklahoma State. Are the Longhorns one of the Week 7 college football lines that you should be targeting? Or is there better value elsewhere on the Week 7 college football odds board?

Top Week 7 college football predictions

One of the top college football picks the model is recommending for Week 7: No. 13 Ole Miss covers (-2.5) at Tennessee in a 7:30 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday. Ole Miss just played one of the craziest games of the year, a 52-51 win over Arkansas, and has one of the nation’s best offenses. Against Tennessee, the Rebels might see a version of themselves.

As Lane Kiffin visits the school where he spent one year before leaving for the USC job, SportsLine projects his Ole Miss team to win and cover behind another big game from Kiffin’s offense. The model projects that Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral throws for over 300 yards, while Ole Miss runners combine for close to 200 yards on the ground. SportsLine’s model projects a 41-32 Ole Miss victory, and shows the Rebels covering the spread in more than 60 percent of simulations. The under, meanwhile, hits in well over 60 percent of simulations on this sky-high 82.5-point total.

Another one of the college football predictions from the model: No. 2 Iowa keeps rolling and covers the 11.5-point spread at home against Purdue in a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff. The Hawkeyes have jumped to second in the polls following their win over Penn State last weekend. They have already knocked off three ranked teams this season and have the fourth-best scoring defense in the country, allowing just 13.0 points per game. Purdue has struggled offensively, failing to reach the 14-point mark in any of its last three contests.

The Boilermakers have dropped two of their last three games, including a 27-13 loss at Notre Dame in their last road contest. SportsLine’s model is not expecting an improvement on Saturday afternoon, as it has Iowa covering the spread in well over 60 percent of simulations. The under (44) is also cashing well over 50 percent of the time. 

How to make Week 7 college football picks 

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the Week 7 college football schedule, and it’s calling for a top-10 team to get a huge scare. You can only get every pick for every game at SportsLine.
