College football analyst Joel Klatt has been on a heater picking against the spread this season. Boasting a 4-2 record last week, an 18-4 record this month, and a 29-14 record this season against the spread. Numbers than many bettors wouldn\u2019t mind having themselves this season.<\/p>\n

This weekend, Week 9 presents a loaded schedule of new opportunities for fans to place bets and potentially win big. A Saturday slate that has the potential to be one of the best of the year given the matchups ahead. <\/p>\n

Klatt locked in his picks<\/a> for the weekend on Thursday, looking to keep his hand hot once again. Check out his selections against the spread, his rationale, and even a score prediction for Week 9\u2019s biggest games below.<\/p>\n

Illinois<\/a> at Oregon<\/a> (+21.5)<\/h2>\n

The top-ranked Ducks are favored by 21.5 points when they host the Fighting Illini this weekend. A large number that Klatt thinks is too big considering Illinois is the No. 20 ranked team in the country fresh off of an impressive win over the defending national champion Michigan Wolverines<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna take the points for Illinois, I think Oregon gets the win, but Illinois covers,\u201d Klatt said. \u201cThat\u2019s a good omen for the Ducks, I think this game is somewhere in that Oregon 34, Illinois 17 range. I think Oregon could win handily, but 21.5 is a lot for a team that is so sound and physical as Illinois.\u201d<\/p>\n

LSU<\/a> at Texas A&M<\/a> (-2.5)<\/h2>\n

The only two undefeated teams in SEC play square off this weekend in College Station. But Klatt doesn\u2019t just like LSU to cover the spread as 2.5-point underdogs against Texas A&M, but to win the game outright with a betting line that surprised him. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was shocked that A&M was favored in this game, I think LSU is going to win the game,\u201d Klatt revealed. \u201cThey have a quarterback I trust more than the opposition, so even on the road, a guy that I believe has showed up in big moments in (Garrett) Nussmeier<\/a><\/strong>, I think he wins the game. Now, I don\u2019t think they\u2019re going to blow them out, but 27-24 LSU? You bet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notre Dame<\/a> vs. Navy<\/a> (+12.5)<\/h2>\n

Klatt has a spicy pick for Norte Dame and Navy\u2019s ranked, neutral site matchup in Metlife Stadium on Saturday. Shockingly picking the No. 24 ranked Midshipmen over No. 12 Notre Dame in what would be an epic upset victory. <\/p>\n

\u201cI like Navy outright, I\u2019m calling for the upset. I\u2019ve got them 20-17,\u201d Klatt said. \u201cI think the magical year continues, I think we start talking about a Navy potential playoff birth after this win over Norte Dame \u2026 They\u2019re getting 12.5, that\u2019s an easy one for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Missouri<\/a> at Alabama<\/a> (-13.5)<\/h2>\n

Eric Canha\/Randy Sartin-Imagn Images<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s game in Tuscaloosa is a no-brainer for Klatt given two major factors. Missouri battling numerous injuries at key positions and Alabama coming off their second loss of the season. Placing them in a must-win position to stay alive for the College Football Playoff. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no way 13.5 is enough, the only time Missouri has traveled on the road in the SEC this year they got blown out by 31 by Texas A&M. 13.5 is not enough, give me Bama,\u201d Klatt said. \u201cI think generously I\u2019ve got 38-21. I\u2019m given the 13.5, I\u2019m riding with Bama as the favorite and I think this has all the makings of Missouri not playing well.\u201d <\/p>\n

Penn State<\/a> at Wisconsin<\/a> (+6.5)<\/h2>\n

A Big Ten matchup rounds out the weekend\u2019s top games when No. 3 Penn State travels to Camp Randall Stadium. A spot Klatt labeled as a trap game for Penn State after Wisconsin has been nothing short of dominant in their last three games. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think Penn State wins, but I\u2019m gonna take the points with Wisconsin. It\u2019s a 6.5-point line, I think we can all see a situation where Penn State wins this game 24-21, 27-21, right around there. They escape, maybe they\u2019ve got to comeback, looking towards next weekend in that game against Ohio State<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d Klatt said.<\/p>\n
