Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes have won three consecutive games after securing a 48-21 victory over UCF in their last outing. The Buffaloes have a chance to make a statement on Saturday when they host the No. 18 Kansas State Wildcats in a Big 12 battle. Kansas State is just 2-5 against the spread in its last seven games on the road but the Wildcats have covered in five of their past six meetings against Colorado. The latest Week 7 college football odds via SportsLine consensus list Kansas State as the 4-point favorite on the road.
Elsewhere in the Big 12, No. 11 Iowa State travels to Morgantown to take on West Virginia looking to keep its perfect season alive. The Cyclones are favored by 3 points, but should you include Iowa State in your Week 7 college football bets? Before locking in any Week 7 college football picks on those games or others, be sure to see the college football betting guide from legendary Vegas handicapper Bruce Marshall .
For years Vegas-based Marshall was synonymous with The Gold Sheet, the famed sports betting newsletter. With a background in play-by-play work and sports information while in college, Marshall joined TGS in 1981 when hired by the legendary Mort Olshan and served as executive editor for many years.
An in-demand guest on numerous sports talk radio and TV shows across the country, Bruce's vast array of editorial work has been featured in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the New York Post and many other outlets. He has won various handicapping titles and also is working on several book projects. Bruce also enters the Week 7 college football schedule on an 18-8 roll (+899) on his official SportsLine college football spread picks.
One of the top college football picks Marshall is recommending for Week 7: He's backing No. 7 Alabama (-21.5) to cover against South Carolina as the Tide return home for a noon ET matchup on Saturday. Alabama suffered a shocking setback on the road against Vanderbilt last Saturday, just one week after its impressive victory over Georgia at home.
However, the Crimson Tide are 19-8-1 against the spread as a home favorite over the past five seasons. The Gamecocks, meanwhile, are just 6-7 ATS as a road underdog with head coach Shane Beamer at the helm.
He's also taking the Over (50.5) in this matchup since four of Alabama's five games have cleared the total this season. In addition, the total has gone Over in six of Alabama's last nine games played in October. See which other picks to make here .
