One thing we can tell you for Week 8: Marshall likes South Carolina (-1) to cover at Oklahoma in a 12:45 p.m. ET matchup on Saturday.

"The Gamecocks have covered their last three as SEC visitors since late last season," Marshall said. "The Sooners are alternating spread wins and losses this season -- 2-2 ATS at Norman after 5-1 mark vs. line as hosts last season."

Marshall has evaluated every other matchup and he's found an alarming 24-6 betting trend you need to know about! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any college football picks.
