Indiana -15 vs Penn State - I/U 6-3 ATS - Penn State 25-2 All-time vs. Indiana, but this is the best IU team so far and they are laying the huge number because of Penn State being marked as down for the year. Other than losing their QB really this is gut check time for the Nittany Lions having to face #1 and then #2 back to back. Penn State is 13-0 all time at home vs. IU. When you see all this history then you see the Hoosiers favored by that much its because their backers have been running consensus. This year may be the one for the Hoosiers with their number 1 scoring offense and there # 3 scoring defense, 87% consensus pick is the Hoosiers. Still I think Penn State may be a trap game for the Hoosiers, the games they haven't covered have been road games in the Big Ten. Penn State +15.

Georgia -8.5 vs. Miss St - Mississippi State 8-1 ATS - Was 41-31 Last year UGA's way. UGA 3-5 ATS. Georgia Bulldogs who are 77% consensus pick face the Mississippi State cover machine. This matchup has favored Georgia with them being 14-1 last 15 vs MSU, 10 of the 14 wins by double digits. I know MSU has been on fire ATS but I like Georgia in this spot here. Georgia -8.5

Texas A&M -7 vs. Missouri - 4-4 ATS for the Aggies, 4-3-1 ATS for Missouri, the game went the Aggies way last year 41-10. Last year same place but A&M went up 24-0 at half time. Missouri has one of the nations top 10 running backs, but if they can't slow the Aggies it'll be a long afternoon. 72% on the Aggies consensus, but even though there is the tendency to say this will go exactly like last years game, I would expect Missouri to want to run the ball as much as they can stay in 3rd down and short instead of 3rd and long. I think the Aggies even though they blew out LSU in the second half may keep it close in the first. If you have the chance to Live bet this may be a chance where you may not have to lay the whole -7 because Missouri is likely to keep it close in the first half, they covered and even had their chances vs. Alabama at home. I think with some injuries at running back the Aggies may have to win a close one here. Missouri +7

Texas Tech -10 vs. BYU - Tech is 8-1 ATS, BYU 6-2 ATS - Last meeting was 2023. Texas Tech #3 in scoring offense, number 5 in scoring defense. Still this is an interesting game because BYU is undefeated, they have won outright as a big underdog this season, they finally got past the Holy War with Utah and run into a Tech team is with one loss right behind the undefeated Cougars in the standings for the playoffs. Does a loss here knock the other out of the playoffs? Possibly, which is why I'm going to take the Cougars and know this one could go the other way but BYU players are older and more mature, BYU+10

Alabama -10 vs. LSU Bama 5-2-1 ATS - Bama won 42-13 last year, 42-28 two years ago. Bama clearly the better team and LSU is now inferior to when they were gonna be a playoff team right? Thats what makes LSU dangerous because they lost their primary goals and have to play the rest of the season. Alabama -10

Oregon -6.5 vs. Iowa 5-3 ATS for the Ducks, Iowa 5-2-1- Not played since 1994. In Iowa they put the visitors in a pink locker room for psychological purposes. This is Big Ten play here on the road in that tough environment. 46 % on Iowa +6.5, but the Ducks have a huge amount of money consensus every game, infact 54% is low for their consensus. Virtually no bets amount wise on the money line here but this is a spot I may look at Iowa 22% on the money line +203 for you sports investors

San Jose State -5.5 vs. Air Force SJSU won 17-7 last year. Based on last year how bout an under right here, but I don't bet totals so my pick is Air Force money line.

Kennesaw State -9.5 vs. New Mexico Kennesaw State 6-2 ATS - First meeting ever

SDSU -7 vs. Hawaii SDSU 7-1 ATS - SDSU has won five years in a row but last years was a 27-24 victory.

Army -6.5 vs. Temple 6-3 ATS Temple - Army won 42-14 last year but Temple is improved. Army money line played from a live bet position. Temple played Navy really tough before a one point loss. -250 should be played live bet as if Temple gets a lead which at some point they may then jump on the live bet even money.

Ohio State -28.5 vs Purdue - Buckeyes are 7-0-1 ATS for the season. Was 45-0 last year, and is 9-0 vs Purdue in Columbus. Do I need to say anything else? Buckeyes -29.5

K State has been traditionally the worst place for Texas Tech but the sign of times that Tech has arrived for this season is them laying -7 on the road in Manhattan Kansas. What happens to road teams is like think and grow rich bad vibrations but Texas Tech is the consensus pick because this team is supposed to make the playoff. I'll take the home team here and if I get beat then it will be the first time in while that road conference opponent came in and covered a touchdown, K state has won 8 in row SU vs. Tech. K State +7

Texas - 3 This game was 27-24 last year and that was in Nashville but this isn't where I'd want my money because it's going to be a close game. Give me Commodores. Vanderbilt +120 that is a 31% consensus pick.

Tennessee - money line 25-15 last year out in Oklahoma the Vols way, and just worked security at the Kentucky game so they blew us out. 59% consensus on UT here but they may want to play the under based on last years game, but I am not playing totals.

Duke vs Clemson - No action yet on Clemson they are 29% consensus to be able to tell anything, but this is Dabo Sweeney off a bye week at home against a team that beat him 28-7 last time they met but Duke hasn't won in Death Valley since 1980. Give me the Tigers -3.

Ohio State vs. Penn State 8 times in row this has gone the Buckeyes way but not one of the 8 by 19 or more points which is a wow factor to it. A look at consensus and 81% is laying that 20.5, but I think they are insane. Penn State is going to have to run the ball and try to shorten the game. The Buckeyes strength is on defense the total at 45.5 and we see 97 % consensus on the over. I don't know I was thinking under here but I pass on the total because consensus the other way, here anyways because it was 20-12 20-13 last two matchups, and give me the Buckeyes maybe 33-10 for their biggest win in the series since 2016.

Homecoming game for the Wolfpack and what a better way to celebrate than getting 5.5 points at home. The last years game was 30-29 and this year is in Raleigh on homecoming. Consensus here going the other way 71% on the road team Yellow Jackets ranked in the top 10. I'll take the Wolfpack +5.5

Ole Miss 94% +174 @ Oklahoma Ole Miss +5.5 73% vs. Oklahoma. Last year was a 26-14 Rebels victory. I like against the spread and money line here Ole Miss.

Arkansas 92% -140 vs Auburn – Arkansas won 24-14 last year causing 5 turnovers. Closer game maybe this year but I'll go with Petrino. Arkansas -140

Vandy 88% -140 vs Missouri 67% ATS This game could go either way as well just like the money line consensus is Vanderbilt the ATS consensus is Missouri. Missouri escaped last year with a win 30-27 game. As an SEC fan I root for the underdogs except they are the favorites in this game so I'm gonna stick with Vanderbilt.

Iowa State -145 vs BYU 45-13 Cyclones way but that was two years ago. I guess the cornerbacks are back healthy as they are on two game losing streak because of those injuries but still the offense only put up 17 last week in a loss at Colorado.

Texas A&M 92% -140 @ LSU was 38-23 Aggies was last year however they haven't won in Baton Rouge since 1994. I'm gonna buck consensus on this one and take LSU who can't afford to lose anymore because of playoffs but A&M could lose and still make playoffs. LSU Tigers is my pick.

Baylor +3.5 @ Cincinnati – Two years ago was 32-29 and you can bet this is gonna be a close game either way it goes. I'll take the points Baylor +3.5

NC State +6.5 84 % @ Pitt on NC State despite Pitt pulling off the cover against Syracuse last week. Sides haven't met since 2020. Right now I'm gonna pass on this game because I feel like Pitt at home is scary, they had Louisville down and let them come back. NC State +6.5

Purdue 92% vs. Rutgers Haven't met since 2020, they are the consensus pick but some communities online are to the contrary with Rutgers here. I'll just don't trust Purdue, give me Rutgers right here.

Wake +3 83% vs SMU – SMU hasn't lost since coming into the conference but no recent meetings. They just beat Clemson while Wake just beat Oregon State. Consensus is on Wake but I'll take the road team Mustangs SMU -3.

Mississippi State +7.5 vs Texas – Its more road football in the SEC for Arch Manning and Texas. Consensus on the Cowbells at home, but it was 35-13 last year Texas' way and I think the Longhorns cover here. Texas -7.5

Houston +7.5 @Arizona State Haven't met since 1990 in what looked like a basketball score 62-45. Consensus on Houston and if they can move the ball they should be able to hang close here. Houston +7.5
