College Football Week 7 Picks, Predictions Against Spread For Top 25 Teams

College football returns Thursday for a Week 7 slate full of quality games.

The best matchup of the week is an SEC battle between No. 1 Alabama and No. 9 Tennessee. The Crimson Tide maintained their position atop the polls by defeating conference foe Arkansas on the road last week, while the Volunteers lost a heartbreaker in double overtime to No. 6 Texas A&M.

The other notable matchup is in the Big 10, where No. 2 Ohio State and No. 8 Wisconsin clash at Camp Randall Stadium.

Here are my predictions for Week 7 of the 2016 season. All spreads are from OddsShark, and my picks are italicized.
