Top college football predictions for Week 6
One of the top Week 6 college football picks the model is recommending for best betting apps: Arkansas (+13.5, 50.5) keeps it within the double-digit spread at home against No. 15 Tennessee in a 4:15 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday. The Razorbacks have struggled thus far, but did show some signs of progress in Week 4 against Tulsa, winning 34-6 despite being just 7-point favorites in that one. The Vols are tough on defense, but have lacked explosiveness on offense, particularly in the passing game. The Hogs have also won four of the last five matchups, with the one defeat coming by just three points. The model projects a one-score win for Tennessee as the Razorbacks cover well over 60% of the time.
Another Week 6 prediction: Nebraska (+7.5, 51.5) covers at home against No. 7 Indiana in a noon ET kickoff on Saturday. Indiana is winning, but not dominating in quite the same way as the Hoosiers did during their national championship run last year. They are just 1-4 against the spread, including a tight win against Northwestern in Week 4. Nebraska, meanwhile, is 4-1 against the number this season as the Cornhuskers are coming off back to back Big Ten wins and covers. The model projects a 4-point game as Nebraska covers nearly 60% of the time. See which other picks the model likes here.

LSU travels to Lexington as 8.5-point favorites to face Kentucky in a pivotal SEC matchup between two 4-1 teams. Despite LSU's dominant 63-14 win over McNeese, the SportsLine Projection Model favors the Under 50.5 points after simulating the game 10,000 times, projecting 46 combined points and citing Kentucky's strong defense and LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt's seven interceptions this season as key factors.

The No. 20 Iowa Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-1) travel to face the Washington Huskies (3-2, 0-2) at Husky Stadium on Friday night, seeking to rebound from a loss to Ohio State.
