\"Week
College football odds for week 7 are now live and posted<\/figcaption><\/figure>Michigan State (-7) vs. Illinois<\/strong>\u2013 Michigan State opened as a 7 \u00bd point favorite against an upstart Illinois team and line has gone to -7. The Spartans are looking to build off their recent wins over Wisconsin and Michigan, while Illinois is aiming to knock off another Big 10 powerhouse on the road. Sparty has to be careful not to take the Illini lightly \u2013 Illinois dominated Penn State in Happy Valley.<\/p>\n

South Carolina (-7) at Kentucky<\/strong> \u2013 South Carolina is coming off its biggest win in school history. They opened as a 7 point road favorite at Kentucky, although books have come down to\u00a05 points. It will be hard for South Carolina to not have a let down after their emotional game against Alabama. There\u2019s little chance the Gamecocks can play that well two weeks in a row. Kentucky nearly knocked off Auburn last Saturday night, so they\u2019re obviously no pushover. The last time South Carolina went on the road, they lost at Auburn.<\/p>\n

Nebraska (-9 \u00bd) vs. Texas<\/strong>\u2013 The Cornhuskers get their first stiff test of the season when they welcome the Texas Longhorns to Lincoln. The home Huskers opened as 9 \u00bd point favorites, but the line has bounced around going as low as 8 \u00bd and as high as 10, depending upon the book. Nebraska spanked Kansas State in Manhattan last week, while Texas had the bye week to prepare for the Huskers. The last time these two teams met was in last year\u2019s Big 12 national championship game, which Texas won on a controversial, last second field goal.<\/p>\n

Iowa (-4) at Michigan<\/strong>\u2013 The Iowa Hawkeyes opened as 4 point road favorites at Michigan, and the line has held mostly steady with a couple books as -3.5. The Hawks had a bye last week, which means they\u2019ve had an extra week to prepare for Denard Robinson and Rich Rodriguez\u2019s unique offense. The Hawkeye front 4 is extremely talented. Michigan is looking to rebound from their loss to Michigan State. It\u2019s never easy to play in the Big House. Iowa won last year in Kinnick Stadium, but it was a close game.<\/p>\n

Ohio State (-6) at Wisconsin<\/strong>\u2013 One of the best games of the weekend goes down in Madison, Wisconsin. The new #1 team started as a 6 point road favorite, and the line is trickling down to -4. Ohio State had no trouble disposing of Indiana this past Saturday. The offense was efficient and the defense was effective. Wisconsin rebounded from its loss to Michigan State by beating up on Minnesota. The Badger rush offense is starting to click.<\/p>\n

Auburn (-2 \u00bd) vs. Arkansas<\/strong> \u2013 The other big game of the weekend pits the surprising Auburn Tigers against the Arkansas Razorbacks. The home Tigers opened as 2 \u00bd point favorites, but the line has moved up to\u00a04 points. Auburn snuck out of Lexington with a close win over Kentucky, thanks to Cam Newton. Arkansas had to work for it, but they managed to put away Texas A&M. There\u2019s a good chance the Hogs will be energized by Alabama\u2019s loss, which puts them back into the SEC West picture. If they hope to get to the SEC championship game, beating Auburn is a must.<\/p>\n

The college football landscape has been restructured after South Carolina\u2019s huge win over Alabama. The race for the national championship is wide open.\u00a0 The week 7 opening odds have been posted.
