Last week was as fun a week of sweats as you could possibly have in winners. Went 4-3-1. Three games went to overtime. Could have been even better, I suppose it could have been worse. Either way, it’s a pair of plus weeks to start, and the card this week again … is lengthy.
Friday
Florida State (-3, 57) at Louisville
7 p.m. ET on ESPN, Cardinal Stadium, Louisville, Kentucky
Van Pelt’s pick: Louisville (+3)
You know how we feel about Friday night games, lose and go to bed bummed before the Saturday slate. But win it and you’re off like a rocket ship, and we have a line that is screaming at us … and we are listening.

SVP: 2-1 all time picking Louisville
Saturday
No. 6 Oklahoma (-11, 66) at Nebraska
12 p.m. ET, Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, Nebraska

SVP: 3-1 when picking Nebraska last season
Purdue at Syracuse (-1.5, 54)
12 p.m. ET on ESPN, JMA Wireless Dome, Syracuse, New York
Van Pelt’s pick: Syracuse (-1.5)
Syracuse, I took you once already this year at home. We both won, didn’t we? Well, let’s take the Orange again laying a small number to a talented Purdue outfit.
SVP: 2-1 all-time when picking Syracuse
South Alabama at UCLA (-15.5, 60.5)
2 p.m. ET, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California
Van Pelt’s pick: South Alabama (+15.5)
Did I tell you how much I love America last week? Did South Alabama (aka USA) repay that love with an outright road dub? It did. Are we saying God Bless the USA again? We are. I’m taking the…
