Navy remained last week undefeated with a 51-17 win over Charlotte, but it will face its toughest test of the season when it plays No. 12 Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon. The Midshipmen are 14-point underdogs in the Week 9 college football odds despite winning all six of their games by double digits. That game could go a long way toward determining a spot in the College Football Playoff, but which team should you back with your college football betting in Week 9?

Army has a bye this week, while Vanderbilt will aim for its third major upset of the season when it hosts No. 5 Texas. The Commodores are 17.5-point underdogs in the Week 9 college football spread as Texas tries to bounce back from its loss to then-No. 5 Georgia.

The best college football predictions for week 9

One of the college picks the model is high on during Week 9: Michigan (-4) cruises to a blowout win over Michigan State in a 7:30 PM ET matchup on Saturday. Michigan State is coming off a win over Iowa, but didn't do well in the previous two games. The Spartans were eliminated by Ohio State and Oregon, losing those games by a combined final score of 69-17. Looking ahead lines favored Michigan by as much as 9.5 points, but the line has fallen significantly since then.

Michigan hasn't lost a home game since falling to then-No. 3 Texas in early September, so it will be happy to return to the Big House after a two-game road trip. The Wolverines have a strong offense, powered by senior running back Kalel Mullings, who has 676 rushing yards and seven touchdowns this season. They face a Michigan State defense that ranks outside the top 50 nationally in rushing yards allowed per play, which is one reason why Michigan in the model covers the spread in well over 60% of simulations.Check out the rest of Week 9's college football picks here.

Another prediction: No. No. 3 Penn State (-6.5) takes care of business at Wisconsin in a 7:30 PM ET kickoff on Saturday. The Nittany Lions have dominated this head-to-head series in recent years, winning in five straight meetings and covering the spread. They have won all six of their games this season, including a 33-30 overtime victory over USC two weeks ago in their second road game of the campaign.

Wisconsin has only played two ranked teams this season and was eliminated. 4 Alabama and then-No. 13 USC in September. The Badgers have been on the road the past two weeks, so Penn State's bye week in Week 8 is a huge scheduling advantage. According to the SportsLine model, the Nittany Lions win this game by almost two full touchdowns, meaning they cover the spread in well over 60% of simulations.Check out the picks for every other game in Week 9 here.
