The No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels will try to cement themselves as a contender in the SEC when they travel to LSU for an SEC on CBS showdown on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. ET. Ole Miss has blown out Vanderbilt and Auburn in its last two games, but the Rebels are 2-point road underdogs against LSU in the latest Week 8 college football odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Another important game in the conference features No. 6 Alabama hosting No. 24 Mississippi State as a 21-point favorite. The Crimson Tide are hoping to bounce back from a loss at Tennessee when they face the Bulldog during the Week 8 college football schedule. 

Before making any college football picks for those games or others in Week 8, be sure to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLineProjection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.  

Now, it has studied the latest college football odds from Caesars (see the latest college football lines for each matchup this week on our college football odds page), simulated every single play for Week 8 of FBS college football, and the results are in. 

One of the college picks the model is high on in Week 8: No. 5 Clemson easily covers the 14-point spread against Syracuse in that noon ET matchup. The Tigers continue to fly under the radar this season, despite picking up three straight double-digit wins. They covered the 4.5-point spread in a 34-28 win at Florida State last week, taking a 34-14 lead to the fourth quarter.  Syracuse has only been on the road once this season, which is one reason why Clemson is covering the spread almost 60% of the time. 

Another prediction: Unranked Iowa (+29.5) stays within the huge number against No. 2 Ohio State in a noon ET matchup in Columbus. Iowa is coming off consecutive losses, but it has not been beat by more than two touchdowns in a game this season. The Hawkeyes can slow the pace of the game down and keep it low scoring, so the model has them covering almost 70% of the time. 

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other FBS matchup, and its calling for a top-20 team to go down HARD in an outright upset! 

So which college football teams should you back this week? And which top-20 favorite goes down HARD? ... Join SportsLine now to see who wins and covers every single game, all from the model that has returned almost $3,000 in profit on top-rated ATS picks over the past six-plus seasons!
