Michigan will cover

vs. rusty Wisconsin

By Matt YouMans

LAS VEGAS — Redshirt

freshman Graham Mertz made

a strong first impression in his

debut as Wisconsin’s starting

quarterback. Nearly a month

later, Mertz still is waiting to

make his second start.

The Badgers, tangled in a

COVID-19 web, have not

played and rarely have prac-

ticed since Mertz completed

20 of 21 passes for 248 yards

and five touchdowns in a 45-7

victory over Illinois on Oct.

23. Despite the team’s inactiv-
    ity and uncertainty surround-
    ing Mertz, Wisconsin has been
    bet to a 4½-point favorite
    against Michigan in Ann Ar-
    bor on Saturday.
    Bettors are obviously down
    on the Wolverines, who
    opened as 2-point favorites
    and are off back-to-back poor
    performances in losses to In-
    diana and Michigan State. Mi-
    chigan’s sudden demise has
    put coach Jim Harbaugh on
    the hot seat.
    Wisconsin will be missing at
    least 10 players as part of the
    Big Ten’s protocol, which
    mandates a 21-day absence for
    players after a positive COVID
    test. Mertz is expected to be
    cleared to play, but the long
    layoff should be considered a
    negative.
    Two weeks ago, the Wolver-
    ines would have been around

storm the field and hit the

road the next week to face a

rival. In the most dramatic

high-stakes game of the sea-

son, the Irish upended Clem-

son 47-40 in double overtime.

That was the game Notre

Dame’s players had circled

for the entire offseason, not

this one. Eagles quarterback

Phil Jurkovec, a transfer from

Notre Dame and former four-

star recruit, passed for two

touchdowns in BC’s 34-28

loss at Clemson on Oct. 31.

Sharp money has been show-

ing on the underdog this

week, pushing the line down

from 16.

New Mexico (+17.5) over

Nevada: The Lobos, who

were a complete mess at the

tail end of former coach Bob

Davie’s tenure, are turning

into live ’dogs under new

coach Danny Gonzales and

defensive coordinator Rocky

Long. New Mexico, a two-

touchdown underdog, rolled

up 279 rushing yards in a 39-33

loss at Hawaii last week. This

game will be played in Las Ve-

gas, the Lobos’ new home on

the road during a COVID cri-

sis in New Mexico.

LAST WEEK: 1-2. Michigan

(L), Florida (W), Oregon State

(L).

SEASON: 17-12-1.

Giants, Jets fans: Check out these prospects

By GreG JoYce

While the Giants will chase

a second straight win, the Jets

are off this weekend, making

room for more time to watch

college football and dream

about the players that could

one day make an impact at

MetLife Stadium.

A handful of Saturday’s

games have been postponed

by COVID-19 outbreaks —

including more than half of

the SEC slate — but there are

still a number of games on

the docket that feature play-

ers that could be of interest

to the Jets or Giants next

April.

There’s one more week to

get through without Trevor

Lawrence on your television

screens, with Clemson on a

bye, but until he returns next

week, here’s a look at which

players and games to keep an

eye on:

Oregon St. at Washington,

11 p.m., FS1

Washington had its season-

opener delayed by a week but

now they will get to show off

what is expected to be a stout

secondary, with cornerbacks

Elijah Molden (an All-Pac-12

nickelback) and Keith Taylor

(a 6-foot-3 threat) leading the

way. The Huskies also have

left tackle Jaxson Kirkland and

tight end Cade Otton among

their top draft-eligible pros-

pects.

Oregon State’s most attract-

ive player to Jets and Giants

fans may be pass rusher Ham-

ilcar Rashed Jr., who racked

up 14 sacks and 22.5 tackles for

loss last week.

Louisville at Virginia,

3:30 p.m., ACC Network

Though Louisville is in the

midst of a down year after be-

ing ranked earlier in the sea-

son, wide receiver Tutu

Atwell remains a major threat.

He’s only 5-foot-9 but his

speed plays if he gets into

space.

For Virginia, it’ll be hard to

miss outside linebacker

Charles Snowden, who meas-

ures in at 6-foot-7 and 240

pounds and has 8.5 tackles for

loss in six games.

TCU at West Virginia,

Noon, FOX

Both the Jets and Giants

addressed their safety posi-

tion in the draft last year, but

if they go back to that well

this year, TCU has one of the

best in Trevon Moehrig. He’s

joined by Ar’Darius Wash-

ington for a strong safety

tandem. Garret Wallow is

also a standout inside line-

backer.

West Virginia’s top draft

prospect may be defensive

tackle Darius Stills, but line-

backer Tony Fields II is an-

other to watch.

3½-point favorites in this

game, so the move in the bet-

ting market appears to be an

overreaction. Mertz and the

Badgers are still somewhat of

a mystery. Illinois has been the

worst team in the Big Ten, so

it’s reasonable to wonder if

Wisconsin is worthy of so

much respect.

The pick: Michigan +4.5

Arkansas (+17) over

FLORIDA: The Razorbacks,

3-3 straight up and 6-0 against

the spread, are the surprise

team in the SEC. It’s not going

to be surprising if they put a

scare into the Gators, who are

in a possible letdown spot

after a breakthrough victory

over Georgia last week. Ar-

kansas quarterback Feleipe

Franks, a transfer from Flor-

ida, will be highly motivated.

Franks has completed 67.2 per-

cent of his passes with 14

touchdowns and three inter-

ceptions this season. It’s

doubtful he can outduel Kyle

Trask, but the Hogs are capa-

ble of covering a big number.
