I like the Golden Eagles to stay within a touchdown at the break. In Landry Lyddy's lone start this season, Southern Miss went into halftime tied 14-14 on the road at Tulane. Troy trailed No. 20 Missouri 24-17 at the half, and its offense has managed 17 and 10 points in its last two games. Goose Crowder has turned it over repeatedly in that span, and a low-scoring first half makes a seven-point margin hard to reach.
The Under is 4-0 in Troy's games this season, with an average of 42.8 total points. Southern Miss's 24.5 points per game are inflated by a 49-point outing against FCS Alcorn State; against FBS teams, it has scored eight, 20, and 21.
Troy should lean on the run against the nation's 136th-ranked run defense, and the Trojans already hold the ball 33:26 per game. Add two shaky kickers (a combined 7-of-14 on field goals) and a Troy defense that held No. 20 Missouri to 230 yards, and this total is too high.
With South Florida being as bad on offense as it is good on defense, this is an easy Under. Three of USF's five games failed to get past 30 total points, with the Bulls allowing just 14 points per game (10th) and ranking 29th in opponent yards per play. Meanwhile, the offense has been disastrous, ranking well into the 100s in scoring offense, total offense, and yards per play, while also being 109th in seconds per play. UTSA (82nd in yards per play) isn't much better on offense, either.
I love the spot for Washington with this being a Friday game and Iowa coming off College Game Day and Ohio State last week and the thrilling win vs Michigan the week before. Now Iowa is travelling across the country on a short week. On top of that Washington is a team that takes money in the market every week, so there's often a lot of movement on their line close to kickoff. Their back is against the wall and they're getting some key players back from injury.
This line is begging me to take the points, but I can't do it. Oklahoma's offense was held to just 258 yards on 3.7 yards per play in last year's Red River Rivalry, and that offense may actually be worse this season, scoring just 12.3 points per game over its last three games and ranking 105th in total offense for the season. Texas has won the last two editions by a 57-6 combined scoreline and will make it three straight convincing wins on Saturday.
UCLA has all the makings of a team that can win this game outright. Yes, Dylan Raiola filled Dante Moore's shoes nicely against USC, but UCLA's defense will provide much more resistance, ranking 15th in opponent yards per play compared to USC's 87th. On the other side of the ball, UCLA leads the nation in yards per carry and sits fourth in yards per play. Take the points.
I love the spot for Boise State. It's a revenge spot as they were favored by double digits and lost outright to Fresno State last season in a game where they lost their starting QB. I think this is a rare conference game that they have circled on their calander. I like the price as well, which I made seven. I'm not overly impressed by Fresno State so far this season.
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.
