Griffin Warner and Big East Ben break down the biggest games for CFB Week 10. The guys also give out best bets. The Week 10 preview on the Need for Screens College Football Podcast, hosted by Griffin Warner and Big East Bend, offers in-depth analysis on notable matchups, betting strategies, and team/player statistics. Here's a detailed breakdown of key discussions, including timestamps, quotes, and insights. Introduction (0:31 - 2:31) Warner opens with a recap of previous picks, noting Big East Bend’s overall 4-2 success last week, despite an “egg” laid by Illinois. They discuss current bets at “50% for the season,” hoping for a strong finish, especially in bowl season. Ohio State vs. Penn State (2:32 - 5:39) Warner introduces Ohio State as a 3.5-point road favorite over Penn State, with a total score line at 45. Big East Bend laments the noon kickoff, feeling it dampens Penn State’s home advantage, especially since Ohio State has dominated Penn State, winning 11 of the last 12 meetings. Key injury concerns focus on Penn State’s quarterback, Drew Aller, who is doubtful due to a knee injury sustained against Wisconsin. Despite Penn State’s replacement QB, Big East Bend favors Ohio State, citing its historical control over Penn State. Warner echoes this, predicting Ohio State’s win, adding he’s “going under 45.” Oregon vs. Michigan (5:40 - 8:12) The hosts analyze Oregon as a 14.5-point favorite on the road. Big East Bend questions the line, mentioning Michigan's quarterback retirement announcement, which Warner predicts will move the line up due to Michigan’s weakened offense. Bend criticizes Michigan’s struggles and confidently supports Oregon, remarking, “Michigan’s dead.” Warner agrees on Oregon and opts for the under 45.5, doubting Michigan’s scoring capabilities. Texas A&M vs. South Carolina (8:13 - 10:56) This matchup sees Texas A&M as a 2.5-point favorite on the road. Big East Bend highlights Texas A&M’s performance against LSU but cautions against a letdown after that emotional win. Recalling South Carolina’s close losses to LSU and Alabama, Bend believes South Carolina will secure a crucial home win. Warner aligns with this view, supporting South Carolina and emphasizing the impact of South Carolina’s home crowd. Louisville vs. Clemson (10:57 - 12:49) Louisville is a 10.5-point underdog against Clemson, with a high total at 63. Bend observes Clemson’s recent success against weaker opponents, such as NC State and Wake Forest, positioning them as “NIT teams.” He contrasts this with Louisville’s history of close games, even in challenging matchups, and predicts they will keep it competitive. Warner supports Bend, taking Louisville and betting over 63 points, indicating confidence in Louisville’s offense to match Clemson’s scoring. Pittsburgh vs. SMU (14:29 - 18:32) SMU enters as a 7.5-point favorite over Pittsburgh. Big East Bend praises Pittsburgh’s defense, citing their five-interception game against Ohio State’s Kyle McCord. Conversely, he critiques SMU’s easier schedule, favoring Pittsburgh to outperform expectations. Warner chooses the over 58 points, expecting a high-scoring affair, especially given SMU’s recent games. Best Bets (18:33 - 22:52) Big East Bend’s best bet focuses on Nebraska at -6.5 against UCLA, expressing confidence in Nebraska’s recent form and dismissing UCLA’s “two wins” as weak performances. Warner’s best bet is South Carolina at +2.5 over Texas A&M, consistent with his earlier analysis on home advantage.
