Raphael is a proven workhorse who handled 266 touches for 1,188 yards and 14 scores a year ago, and SMU doesn't return a single rusher who reached 100 yards a year ago. He should get a ton of work in this contest behind an experienced SMU offensive line (91 career starts) with an advantage over FSU's front (120th in stuff rate).
SMU loses seven of its top 12 tacklers and is green along the defensive front, so Ousmane Kromah should be the focal point of FSU's offensive approach on a wet and rainy day.

PSU -23.5 (-116)
It was the smoothest of sailings in Matt Campbell's first game on the Penn State sideline, and Saturday's affair against Temple provides another opportunity to see what he has. Temple ran for more than 200 yards and only threw the ball 16 times for 142 yards in its 38-14 win over FCS Rhode Island, but Penn State held Marshall to just 1.7 yards per carry on 26 tries. I suspect another beatdown in favor of the Nittany Lions.

TEX -1.5 (+101)
This Buckeyes fan has some serious concerns about the Ohio State offensive line and what might happen to said offensive line against Collin Simmons & Co. in Austin this Saturday. On the flip side of the ball, OSU doesn't have the defensive playmakers it did a year ago to stop a much more confident version of Arch Manning. I expect Texas to win the trenches on both sides of the ball and score a massive win as a result.

MISS -1.5 (-110)
Former Mississippi head coach Lane Kiffin will take his new team, LSU, into Oxford. Considering the controversial way he left the Rebels prior to the playoffs last year, there might not be a more hostile environment in college football this season. It’s a game worthy of giving the home team more than three points of home-field advantage.
Our experts and prediction models are hard at work analyzing the data. Check back shortly for today's picks, or explore our Computer Picks for inspiration.
The table above lets you know how profitable and helpful our sports betting computer picks have been across the last 100 college football games played. Our NCAAF computer picks use expert data to review odds and generate moneyline, spread, and total bets for every game throughout the season.
Listed in the table are unit details, which show the total profit or loss based on a bettor placing $100 on each of the last 100 college football picks made by the computer, on both the opening and closing lines.
Take advantage of these free college football picks before you wager any money at sportsbooks.
As human beings, we're bound to be biased with our picks and potentially fall into the trap of swinging with the public. With advanced stats growing in popularity and getting harder to track, college football computer predictions are starting to become more relied on.
Betting on a moneyline simply means you're picking the outright winner of the game, regardless of the scoring margin or total. If the team you choose wins, then your bet hits. Here's what it will look like over at your favorite sportsbook:
| Team | Moneyline |
|---|---|
| Alabama Crimson Tide | -120 |
| Missouri Tigers | +150 |
In this case, Alabama is favored to win the game as its moneyline odds have a minus sign (-) in front of the number. The favorites will have the minus sign present, and the underdogs will have a plus sign (+). Easy, right?
Betting the spread gives your bet a bit more breathing room. Here, you don't need to sweat out a team to win. Instead, you can wager on the point differential on the scoreboard.
Betting on the spread is a good idea when the moneyline profits aren't enticing. There's no point betting on Alabama as a heavy -1500 favorite over Missouri. But taking Missouri to keep the scoring margin within a certain frame will get you more bang for your buck.
| Team | Spread |
|---|---|
| Alabama Crimson Tide | -24.5 (-105) |
| Missouri Tigers | +24.5 (-115) |
In this example, the Tide are favored to dominate their game against Missouri, outperforming them by at least 24.5 points.
If Alabama does win by more than 25 points, that would mean the Crimson Tide covered the spread. But if the Tide won by just 20 points, then that would mean the Tigers "covered the spread" instead.
If you think the outcome of a game could flip in either direction, then an Over/Under is the way to go. This bet relies on the combined score from both teams and whether it goes Over or Under the point total listed at sportsbooks. Then, who cares who wins?
| Team | Total |
|---|---|
| Alabama Crimson Tide | O 52.5 (-110) |
| Missouri Tigers | U 52.5 (-110) |
In this example, oddsmakers have set the total score for the game at 52.5 points. The choice is now up to you. If you think the Tide and Tigers will score a combined total of more than 52.5 points, 53 points or more, then pick the Over. If you're thinking otherwise, then bet the Under, and the bet will hit if they score fewer than 52.5 points.
If the set number was a whole number like 52 points and the two teams score exactly that amount, then it is considered a push and you'd get your money back.
