Summary
Klatt’s headline Week 4 calls back No. 1 Texas to beat No. 14 Tennessee 30-27 and Ole Miss to rally past Florida 35-31, while taking Tennessee +4.5 and Ole Miss +3 against the spread.
Road environments and emotional swings drive much of his logic: he sees Texas surviving Neyland late, but expects Ole Miss to need a fourth-quarter comeback after last week’s high against LSU.
In other ranked matchups, Klatt has Michigan over Iowa 13-10 but likes Iowa +5.5, Oregon over USC 45-42 while taking USC +3.5, and Georgia covering -13.5 in a 24-10 win over Oklahoma.
He also projects LSU to cover -8.5 against Texas A&M in a 31-14 home win and Mississippi State to beat Missouri 27-17, citing A&M’s offensive struggles and confidence in QB Kamario Taylor.
