Feature Picks: 7 Outright Upsets, Plus 8 Other Games Selected

September 24, 2019 by CFP Staff

For the third time this season, the Congrove Computer Rankings at CollegeFotballPoll.com are projecting 7 outright upsets. Last week, the computer was 4-3 against the spread on 7 upsets picks.

This week's opposites include Arizona State and Minnesota winning road games at Cal and Purdue, respectively.

Additionally, we've selected 8 games in the categories of Easy Pickins and Hold Your Horses.

We compare the sportsbooks' average spread with the computer's projection, and feature those games where we believe the computer has the best chance of being right.

This week's three qualifying games for Easy Pickins' are Penn State at Maryland, Ohio State at Nebraska, and Virginia at Notre Dame.

Our choices for the 'Hold Your Horses' category are San Jose State at Air Force, Coastal Carolina at Appalachian State, Wake Forest at Boston College, UNLV at Wyoming, and Washington State at Utah.

When it comes to the Upset picks, we list every game that the computer picks the opposite team of the 'Vegas' favorite. The computer's upset picks have hit 65% against the spread (89-48) since the second week of November of 2017.
