Week Eleven

Last week, Kaylee and I both went 5-1. Kaylee is now at 37-23 overall, and I am at 45-15 overall. This week was a quick turnaround with the craziness of the election and Utah playing on a Thursday night. So here we go with week 11 picks.

No. 15 Utah at Arizona State

Jordan's Pick: Utah Kaylee's Pick: Utah


Both teams are coming off of bye weeks and losses before that. Utah needs to prove that it can still win the South portion of the conference while Arizona State is just looking to spoil Utah's chances at this point. Utah will need to play good in the secondary to win this game. ASU will need to have learned what defense is to win this game. I don't really see that happening in a two week span if they haven't figured it out thus far. Utah should win.

SUU at BYU

Jordan's Pick: BYU Kaylee's Pick: BYU


We attend SUU. Kaylee's cousin plays for BYU. This is an intriguing match up for us based on the teams playing. It shouldn't be intriguing outside of that. SUU is a solid football team, but I don't think that they will be able to pull this out. BYU has more speed, talent and better coaching. BYU should roll for only the second time this season.

New Mexico at Utah State

Jordan's Pick: New Mexico Kaylee's Pick: Utah State


Utah State is not doing well. The Aggies have not shown any progress either. I don't think Utah State has what it takes to finish this season strong in the last three games. The Aggies may be facing three more losses if they're not careful. New Mexico is a run heavy offense this year, and has a good defense against the run. Utah State's Kent Myers will have to throw to win this game. I don't think that is going to go well. New Mexico wins.

No. 20 USC at No. 4 Washington

Jordan's Pick: Washington Kaylee's Pick: Washington


This is by far the best match up of the week. USC is on a five-game winning streak and only Colorado was even close. Washington is undefeated and looking like a playoff contender, but this is a huge test for the Huskies. Washington has probably the best defense USC will face. USC has the most speed and talent in the Pac-12. USC's QB Sam Darnold is the real deal, but it will be a hostile environment in Washington. It will be incredibly close, but I am going to give the edge to Washington because it is at home.

No. 24 LSU at No. 25 Arkansas

Jordan's Pick: Arkansas Kaylee's Pick: LSU


LSU has a great defense, Arkansas doesn't. I want to pick Arkansas in this game, but I don't know why. Arkansas is coming off of a beat down of Florida. LSU is coming off a close game against Alabama. Arkansas' QB is 10 times better. You know what, I'm going to do it. I'm going to take Arkansas. I think they'll key on Leonard Fournette and make LSU beat them through the air, which won't happen. Arkansas will make enough plays, especially if they can flip the field and make it a difficult punting situation for LSU.

Ole Miss at No. 8 Texas A&M

Jordan's Pick: Ole Miss Kaylee's Pick: Texas A&M


These two teams are incredibly similar. Both teams are not great defensively, high-powered offenses and without their star quarterbacks. Ole Miss is looking for any type of momentum going forward in the SEC. Texas A&M is looking to rebound from an embarrassing loss to Mississippi State (speaking of, why are they ranked at 8? That's ridiculous). It'd be tough for Ole Miss to pull this one off if A&M comes out firing because of last week. A&M has a better rushing offense, but we'll see how it goes. I'm going to take Ole Miss in a big upset.
