I lean toward the Under at 54.5 or higher. These teams are 4-0 to the Over this season and Wake Forest just gave up 36 points to Purdue last week. I prefer fading the market and recent results rather than following them. Miami ranks 107th nationally in seconds per play and 28 of the 69 points in Wake Forest's game against Purdue last week were scored in double overtime.

I absolutely love Texas State at home against North Texas this weekend. Despite its 0-2 record, Texas State is far better than its record shows. The Bobcats put up nearly 350 total yards against Texas in Week 1 and outgained UTSA by nearly 100 yards in Week 2. Unfortunately, three turnovers in each game helped lead to both losses. I expect the Bobcats to clean that up against a North Texas team coming off a massive win over UNLV. I also think people will put too much weight on North Texas’ recent success. Trust the kitties!

The Arizona State Sun Devils are the better team and deserves to be favored in London.

ASU outgained Texas A&M 369-255 last week, but four turnovers turned a competitive performance into a 48-20 loss. The Kansas Jayhawks have a less convincing underlying profile, ranking 56th nationally in 2025 adjusted EPA per play at +0.10 and 84th in raw EPA per play at -0.07. The Jayhawks also managed only 248 total yards against Missouri after dominating an inferior opponent in Week 1. Arizona State’s offense has shown more reliable explosiveness. With the Sun Devils favored by only 5.5 points, I’m comfortable laying the number to 55%.

Arizona State is a 5.5-point favorite, so the expected game script already supports sustained offensive aggression from the Sun Devils. Reaching four touchdowns requires 28 points, a reasonable threshold in a matchup with a 50.5-point total. Arizona State has scored 70 points in one of its first two games and should have enough opportunities to reach the end zone repeatedly against a Kansas defense that struggled to contain Missouri. The Sun Devils’ offensive balance also gives them multiple paths to four touchdowns, whether through explosive passes, red-zone runs or short-field possessions. Play to 50%.

Ohio State's offense doesn't tend to hold back when playing MAC opponents. In seven games against MAC teams during Ryan Day's tenure, the Buckeyes have averaged 59 PPG. In those seven matchups, they've failed to score 56+ points in as many games as they've scored 76+ points (twice each). With the Buckeyes coming off the loss to Texas, I think they'll want to take out some anger.

Bill Belichick’s strategy against a freshman quarterback making his first career start will be simple: force Tait Reynolds to win the game through the air. On offense, Belichick will focus on controlling the clock and securing points whenever possible—favoring long field goal attempts over risky fourth-and-short conversions.

The conservative approach and an offense that already has been playing things close to the vest should keep the score low and the Tar Heels out of the end zone.

I expect this game to go Under, mostly because I don't expect the Arkansas offense to score a touchdown. I've outlined the backing for a prop like this throughout the article: the trenches, Arkansas's defensive numbers, and the general malaise around the Razorbacks program. However, there's more.

The Georgia offense is humming. It just dropped 70 points against Western Kentucky, and QB Gunnar Stockton has eight touchdown passes with zero interceptions over two games. Meanwhile, Utah just scored 43 against the Razorbacks. That's a team that ranks 22nd in SP+. What's a team that ranks first going to do?

This has "Georgia goes up two scores, and Kirby Smart runs his backfield into the ground, physically dominating Arkansas in the process" written all over it. In the process, the clock should run and run...and run. I like the Under to 52.5 because of that.

I already mentioned the issues Arkansas is likely to face in the trenches, but the other side of the ball is what really drives this home. I don't expect the Razorbacks to move the ball much at all. The only offensive metric of any substance that it ranks above triple digits in is third/fourth-down success. A big product of that? The volume and finding itself there often because it's been so ineffective on other downs.

NC State entered the season with plenty of hype, including from yours truly, but got absolutely smoked by Virginia 34-8 in Week 0. The Wolf Pack bounced back in a big way, crushing Richmond 73-0 in Week 2. Now, they head to Nashville to take on a Vanderbilt team that has yet to impress. The Commodores beat Austin Peay 28-9 before narrowly beating Delaware 35-26 as 20.5-point favorites. Vanderbilt was nearly outgained by Delaware, needing six sacks and two interceptions to escape with the win. I’m backing NC State to bounce back from its loss to Virginia and take down the Commodores on the road.

KJ Duff is Rutgers’ best offensive weapon and should benefit from the game script against a heavily favored USC team. Rutgers offense has not been good but it's almost entirely him providing it, in addition, USC’s defense has allowed +0.158 EPA per play, ranking 80th. The Trojans also rank only 67th in defensive success rate.

Duff has 333 receiving yards and five touchdowns through three games. If Rutgers falls behind, quarterback AJ Surace should be forced to throw frequently, giving Duff additional opportunities against a defense that has not been particularly efficient.

Alabama’s offense ranks 28th nationally in success rate at 52.9%, while Florida State’s defense ranks 103rd in net EPA per play and allows +0.20 EPA per play.

That should create consistent scoring opportunities for Alabama, particularly if the Crimson Tide controls field position. Ryan Coleman-Williams enters this matchup after a 130-yard performance and offers the explosive receiving ability needed to capitalize on Florida State’s defensive weaknesses. Alabama’s defense also ranks 13th in net EPA, increasing the likelihood of short fields and extra possessions. At -110, Coleman-Williams needs to score in roughly 52.4% of outcomes to break even.

Kevin Jennings is a strong longshot because SMU’s offense has been one of the most efficient units in this matchup. The Mustangs have generated +0.284 EPA per play, ranking 28th nationally, with a 56.7% success rate that ranks 15th. Louisville’s defense ranks 89th in EPA per play allowed and 77th in defensive success rate. Head Coach Jeff Brohm is winless against SMU and has struggled against mobile QBs throughout his tenure at Louisville which is probably why he's failed to beat the stud QB.

Jennings threw five touchdown passes last week and remains a legitimate rushing threat when Louisville’s pass rush forces him to improvise. The game total is near 60 points, and the close spread should keep SMU aggressive for four quarters. Jennings can score on a designed run, scramble or short-yardage play

Texas A&M lost wide receiver K.C. Concepcion and tight end Nate Boerkircher to the NFL Draft this past summer. They also lost four starters from last year's offensive line during the offseason, leaving an offense with very few established returning starters. The lack of continuity showed against Arizona State when they managed only 14 first downs and 255 yards of total offense. Kentucky has a strong offensive line and a capable running back room, which should allow them to chew clock and limit offensive possessions for their opponents in 2026. If not for an unlikely barrage of second-half turnovers last week, they would have easily held Alabama under this number. Texas A&M isn't as good as Alabama offensively.

The strength of the Texas A&M team is their defense. In their season opener, they held Missouri State to only 67 yards of total offense and 4 first downs on 11 drives.

South Carolina has cruised through its first two games, taking care of Kent State and Towson without much resistance. This matchup represents a significant step up in competition. Mississippi State, meanwhile, has already faced a tougher test, traveling to Minneapolis and beating Minnesota. The Bulldogs dominated the Golden Gophers statistically, outgaining them by nearly 200 yards while converting 60% of their third downs and averaging 7.0 yards per play. Quarterback Kamario Taylor completed 72% of his passes for over 220 yards and three touchdowns. South Carolina has home-field advantage, but Mississippi State has already shown it can handle the road.

Florida ranks second nationally in net EPA per play and sixth in offensive success rate at 58.2%, while Auburn’s defense ranks 113th in net EPA per play and 114th in success rate allowed. That creates a strong environment for Florida’s passing game to produce a touchdown, even if Auburn focuses on limiting the Gators’ rushing attack. Micah Mays Jr. provides a different route to the end zone as a perimeter receiver in an offense expected to generate multiple scoring opportunities. Florida’s efficiency and Auburn’s defensive profile make Mays an intriguing alternative in this matchup.

Jeremiah Cobb leads Auburn with 24 carries and 138 rushing yards through two games, including a touchdown in the season opener. Auburn’s offense has struggled with efficiency, but Florida’s defense ranks only 89th nationally in net EPA per play. Florida’s offense should also force Auburn to remain aggressive, creating opportunities for Cobb to stay involved throughout the game. His workload gives him the clearest path to a touchdown among Auburn players, and his role should be especially valuable near the goal line. At +110, Cobb offers value as Auburn’s primary rushing threat.

It's important to pay attention to maket moves from the prior week. South Alabama took money last week vs Tulane. They went on to cover and should have won outright, so that was a bit of a misleading final. On top of that, Ohio had money go against them last week and went on to win a game they shouldn't have in four OTs after being outgained by over 200 yards. I think this line could close closer to six.

LSU's defense is the biggest reason I'm playing the Under. The Tigers have allowed just 24 points through two games, including 10 against Clemson, while holding opponents to 2.5 yards per play and averaging 5.5 sacks per game. That pressure matters against an Ole Miss offense that has protected Trinidad Chambliss extremely well but hasn't faced a front this disruptive.

Trey’Dez Green is the LSU touchdown play at +145. The Tigers have scored 48 points per game through two weeks, and their passing offense ranks fifth nationally, creating the kind of volume that can support a plus-money tight end. Green’s 6-foot-7 frame is a problem near the goal line, particularly when Sam Leavitt’s mobility forces Ole Miss defenders to hesitate. Leavitt has already scored five rushing touchdowns, so the Rebels cannot sell out on Green in condensed space. Ole Miss has allowed 23.5 points per game, and LSU should have enough possessions to make its red-zone matchup count.

Green’s size and route access make this playable to +110.

Notre Dame should do most of the heavy lifting for this Over. The Irish have already scored 41 and 52 points in their first two games, while CJ Carr threw four touchdowns against Rice before leaving in the third quarter. Notre Dame's defense can help the total, too, forcing six turnovers through two games, creating opportunities for short fields or even defensive scores.

The biggest issue with backing the first-half Under will be whether the Spartans can hold the Irish below their season average of 27.5 first-half points. This is Michigan State's only ranked opponent until November, so the Spartans should come with an all-out effort.

Coastal Carolina hung 24 points on this Mountaineer defense, and at 46% probability I'll happily back the Hoos to match that output and tack on an additional touchdown. This is playable to 56%.

Pribula has completed 13-of-16 from play action so far this season, accounting for 246 of his 317 passing yards with an average depth of target of 12.8 yards downfield. He will connect on multiple big plays as they light up the scoreboard.

Virginia's defense was lights-out against NC State in the opening game, and will control a much tamer West Virginia offense.

Playable to 52%, I like this to just creep below the number with Virginia putting up points but limiting the Mountaineers on the ground and forcing a few turnovers from Mike Hawkins Jr.

Texas is coming off a massive comeback against top-ranked Ohio State and has Tennessee waiting next weekend, creating a potential lookahead spot against UTSA. The Longhorns also enter Week 3 with some unnecessary off-the-field distractions surrounding Steve Sarkisian and Arch Manning. Meanwhile, UTSA is coming off a 31-26 win over Texas State, in which the Roadrunners nearly reached 400 total yards while committing zero turnovers. Texas should have enough talent to build an early lead, but I expect the Longhorns to take their foot off the gas with SEC play looming. Trust UTSA to keep this within 30.

San Diego State's ineptitude on offense could be its demise. The Aztecs are ranked 93rd on offense by SP+ and 122nd in available yards percentage. James Madison has a potent run game (46th in EPA per rush) and top-notch special teams (zero missed kicks, three return TDs). If JMU builds a lead, SDSU isn't built for comebacks.

San Jose State has scored at least 26 points in all three games, including 26 against USC, and Luke Weaver has thrown multiple touchdowns in every start. The Spartans now face a Fresno State defense allowing 407 yards and 6.1 yards per play, including a 71% opponent completion rate.

Fresno's offense also showed significant improvement last week, with Jayden Mandal completing 23 of 26 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns against Sacramento State. San Jose State has surrendered at least 20 points in every game, so we don't need a shootout to clear this relatively modest number. Fresno 28, SJSU 24 gets there comfortably.

San Jose State quarterback Luke Weaver has been on my radar since Week 0, when he threw for more than 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns against USC. After that loss, the Spartans responded with wins over Eastern Michigan and Cal Poly and now return home to host Fresno State as nearly seven-point underdogs. Fresno State was shut out 39-0 by USC before bouncing back with a dominant 49-3 win over Sacramento State. I expect Weaver to be the difference-maker in this matchup, and if he can sling the pill, San Jose State has a chance to pull off the outright upset.

Purdue very easily could've won last week as a home dog vs Wake Forest, but went on to lose in double OT. What's the spread here if Purdue wins that game? Probably not 14.5, so there's value there. UCLA has had misleading final scores in its two wins season. My power ratings only made this spread 11 points making this one of my biggest disparities of the week.

Purdue is improved in year two under head coach Barry Odom. Last week they nearly pulled a small upset at home versus Wake Forest before losing by two.

Wake Forest converted a 4th-and-15 in the second overtime. Change that one unlikely conversion and Purdue enters this game 2-0. You have to ask would the Boilermakers still be catching more than two touchdowns here? I have my doubts.

Oregon State's offense had no problems moving the ball against Houston and Texas Tech. QB Braden Atkinson is Top 5 in the country in passing yards (789), and freshman Jesse Legree leads the nation in receiving yards (376). Those two should put points up on Montana, but the Grizz can score, too. Montana QB Keali'i Ah Yat led the FCS in passing yards last year (4,070).

How to Use NCAAF Computer Picks

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.

Moneyline

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?

Spread

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.

Totals

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.
