Here is who Mullen has covering and winning games in Week 6:

Michigan (+2.5) over Washington

This is a line that is a bit surprising as the Wolverines are 4-1 and ranked in the top 10, while Washington is unranked. Most people seem to be picking Michigan to cover and likely win against the Huskies, and Dan Mullen is doing so, too.

Both teams look much different than they did a year ago when they played for the national championship. It will be interesting to see which one comes out on top and if the Huskies are rightfully favored.

Missouri (+2.5) over Texas A&M

One of the biggest games of the college football weekend is an SEC showdown between Texas A&M and Missouri. The 25th-ranked Aggies are 2.5-point favorites against Missouri, but Mullen likes taking the Tigers and the 2.5 points. He also has Missouri winning outright.

Texas A&M has won four straight games after dropping its opener against Notre Dame, while Missouri is unbeaten but hasn’t been tested too much yet. This is also the first road test for Missouri this season.

Clemson (-14.5) over Florida State

This game looked like one of the biggest in the ACC heading into the season as the Tigers and FSU were both viewed as contenders to win the league. Instead, Florida State is 1-4 and quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is injured and won’t face off against his former team.

Uiagalelei is out with an injury and is being replaced by Brock Glenn, but Dan Mullen doesn’t expect that to help. He has Clemson winning big and covering the spread.

Georgia (-23.5) over Auburn

Auburn is off to an 0-2 start in the SEC. Things aren’t going to get any easier this week as the Tigers have to travel to Athens to face one of the top programs in the country in Georgia.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a heartbreaking loss to Alabama and are likely to show up angry to face their rival in Auburn. Dan Mullen has Georgia winning big and covering the 23.5-point spread.

Oklahoma State (-3) over West Virginia

Oklahoma State is in desperate need of a win after dropping back-to-back games in Big 12 play to start things off. The Cowboys are home this weekend against West Virginia and are 3-point favorites entering the matchup.

As for the Mountaineers, they are 2-2 on the season and coming off of a bye. Neal Brown is hoping to get WVU rolling after the bye, but Mullen believes Oklahoma State will win and cover the 3-point spread.

Florida (+2.5) over UCF

It was a disastrous start to the season for the Gators, who were blown out at home by Miami in Week 1. Florida also lost to Texas A&M in The Swamp last month, before bouncing back to pound Mississippi State on the road. The hope for Florida is that it can carry over that momentum and win a second straight game this Saturday.

This is a huge game for Billy Napier if he is going to have any chance of keeping his job. The Gators have already lost to one in-state team at home this season and can’t afford to drop another one.
