PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – It's rivalry week. That means upsets are bound to happen as passion pushes players from underachieving teams to play their best football in the final weekend of the regular season.
A majority of the games involve intrastate grudge matches, while a few -- notably Ohio State at Michigan -- are annual border rivalries.

Local 10 sports reporter Andrea Brody, who lost twice as many games as the others last week, believes Florida will beat rival Florida State in Gainesville for the first time since 2009. The Seminoles are trying to win three consecutive games at "The Swamp" for the first time in history.
Brody is also picking Miami to win its final game of the season Friday at Pittsburgh and improve its bowl standing.
Local 10 meteorologist Julie Durda is alone in picking Mississippi State to beat Mississippi in the Egg Bowl. The Bulldogs have won four of the past six games and five straight meetings at home.
Road teams appear to be favored in a majority of this week's picks. USF, Iowa, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Louisville, North Carolina, Alabama and Oklahoma are all unanimous picks to win on the opposing team's turf.
