Balls in Your Court Week 8 CFB Picks

We have been blessed with so many great weeks of College Football, Week 8 seems a little down, but even in the down weeks there are always some great matchups to speak up on. Week 8 brings a lot of double-digit betting lines, however its also a bit of the twilight zone as we have matchups such as Pitt vs Clemson and Purdue vs Wisconsin, whereas Wisconsin and Clemson aren’t the ranked teams in each perspective matchup! While we don’t see a lot of intriguing games at first glance, these are the weeks where conference divisions really sort themselves out. As you can see below, there are also a few matchups where we disagree on the winner which makes this much more intriguing. Let's get to the picks!
