Notre Dame vs. Penn State jili try outpredictions, picks and best bets for CFP semifinal

deskgameThe Eagles rank third in the NFL with 173.4 passing yards allowed per game. They have clamped down on great wide receivers over the last five games. No wide receiver has gained more than 54 receiving yards (Ja’Marr Chase) against Philadelphia during the winning streak. deskgameScoring has been a struggle for the Sooners. I expect that to continue without QB Jackson Arnold, TE Bauer Sharp, WR J.J. Hester, RB Jovantae Barnes and others. Arnold was the starter for most of the season. Backup QB Michael Hawkins Jr. will be under center against Navy. deskgameJames Cook is enjoying a true breakthrough season, as his 10 rushing TDs are tied for third in the NFL. Khalil Shakir leads the team with a career-high 56 receptions, and recent acquisition Amari Cooper will likely be functioning as a key offensive weapon by playoff time. On defense, six different players have registered two interceptions. deskgameAccording to KenPom, Auburn has played the tenth toughest schedule nationally, which can only help with its seeding. Getting through a difficult SEC conference with four teams inside Pomereroy’s Top 10 would surely land Auburn a coveted top seed.
