Wisconsin at Notre Dame (-6.5) | Total 45.0
THE PLAY: Wisconsin -6.5 (-110)
I have not been impressed at all by Notre Dame this season. They needed overtime to beat a not very good Florida State team, barely beat Toledo and last week against Purdue, they didn't really look impressive either. Also, I think we're getting some value on Wisconsin because of that loss in Week One to Penn State.
The biggest thing that I like about this game is the Wisconsin rushing attack. Over 65% of their plays so far this season have been running plays, and they're averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Notre Dame's allowing teams to get 4.3 yards per carry against them. They haven't even played a good team yet, let alone a ranked team. Wisconsin is gonna run the ball all over them. And I’d take them at anything under a touchdown. Go Badgers! -- Iain MacMillan
Nebraska at Michigan State (-5.0) | Total 52.0
THE PLAY: Michigan State -5.0 (-110)
Michigan State is 2-0-1 against the spread, with both of the wins coming as underdogs. They've put up 38 points twice and blew the doors off of the Hurricane last week.
I know that Nebraska kept it close with Oklahoma, but I see that more as Oklahoma’s struggles and their issues of not being able to put teams away. We saw that with Tulane in Week 1, so I can’t trust them as a true powerhouse right now. With that being said, Go Sparty! -- Donnavan Smoot
Kansas State at Oklahoma State (-6.0) | Total 46.5
THE PLAY: Kansas State +6.0 (-110)
I cannot believe that Kansas State is this big of an underdog. Oklahoma State's 1-2 against the spread this year and 0-2 against the spread as a home favorite, which they are in Week 4. They don’t blow anybody out. To think that they're going to be a Kansas State defense by almost a touchdown, I just don't see it happening.
Kansas State’s rush defense is the best in the country, and Oklahoma State relies on the run. I just can’t believe a top 25 team is almost a touchdown underdog. I’d play them all the way up to four or five points because there’s no way Oklahoma State is winning by that much. -- Peter Dewey
Western Kentucky at Indiana (-9.0) | Total 62.5
THE PLAY: Western Kentucky +9.0 (-110)
I've been on this Western Kentucky bandwagon all offseason long and this is a spot I've had circled for the past two months. You have a big 10 opponent coming in off of a loss to a (top 10) Cincinnati team where they squandered a double digit lead. Michael Penix Jr. has not looked the part after his knee surgery. This just is not the same Indiana team as last year.
Meanwhile, Western Kentucky has a bye, it’s a night game and this is their Super Bowl. It’s (going to be) the Bailey Zappe show. Western Kentucky isn’t just going to cover anything over a touchdown, they’re going to win this game outright. Indiana wants no part of this game, and Western Kentucky wants all of it. -- Reed Wallach
Texas Tech at Texas (-9.0) | Total 62.0
THE PLAY: OVER 62.0 (-110)
I'm going to take the over here and I expect that number to move substantially over the week over at WynnBET. Both of these teams are averaging right around 40 points a game right now.
I think you're gonna see this game be more back and forth, and the nature of this game is likely going to dictate toward more points and a more of a heavy uptempo pace from both of these teams as well. Texas is 2-1 in overs so far, and it wouldn't surprise me if that number moves to 3-1 as well. -- Ben Heisler
