Mark Fletcher Jr. left Week 3 early with an upper body injury, and he’s questionable to suit up against Central Michigan. If he plays, he’ll likely be at less than 100%, and there’s no reason to force-feed the big fella touches as a 41-point favorite against a Chippewas team without the offensive ability to make things interesting.

This total feels extremely low for two teams averaging over 45 points per game to start the season. Alabama’s defense has been underwhelming, allowing more than 20 points and 280 yards per game through three contests, while South Carolina’s defense has posted nearly identical numbers. Meanwhile, Alabama’s offense has improved each week, with sophomore Kellon Russell coming off a 320-yard, three-touchdown performance in a 50-36 win over Florida State. LaNorris Sellers can make plays with his legs, but he has thrown three interceptions over his last two games. If Alabama can force mistakes and create short fields, this total could soar over the number.

If you can find +7 or +7.5 at a decent price, take it. Alabama has been slow out of the gate this season, ranking 57th nationally in first-quarter scoring while South Carolina ranks 23rd. The Gamecocks are averaging 10 points in the opening quarter, giving them an early scoring edge against a Crimson Tide team that has needed time to find its rhythm. Alabama has been better in the second quarter, but the gap is only three points. If DeBoer’s team continues to start slowly, South Carolina should have enough early momentum to stay within the number through the first half.

Playable to 57%, Jones is likely to have a rough day of it.

Take away his big run against Louisiana Tech, and he's averaging just 3.79 ypc behind an LSU offensive line ranked in the 39th percentile in line yards.

The Aggies rank 17th in success rate vs. the run, and the 86th percentile in line yards allowed. His inability to hit big runs will keep his total low.

Playable up to 53%, Reed will punish this LSU defense with his legs. 

His 12 scrambles under pressure are third-most in college football this season, and he ranks sixth nationally with 136 scramble yards. 

The Tigers ranks seventh in PFF's pass rush grades, but Trinidad Chambliss scrambled seven times for 25 yards last week. Reed's explosive running ability makes this a kind floor.

 Kayden Dixon-Wyatt has emerged as USC quarterback Jayden Maiava’s favorite target, leading the Trojans with 24 targets and 18 catches this season. With two touchdowns and a pair of 30-plus-yard receptions through three games, the freshman should have plenty of opportunities to find the end zone again.

USC quarterback Jayden Maiava is tied with Dante Moore for the second-highest odds to score a touchdown Saturday. With Oregon favored in this matchup, I expect the Trojans to play from behind, creating opportunities for Maiava to use his legs and find the end zone.

NC State enters Saturday looking to bounce back after last week’s brutal ending against Virginia. While the Wolfpack has plenty to clean up, it has faced a far tougher schedule than App State, which is coming off wins over Maine, East Carolina and Charlotte. NC State has already played Virginia and Vanderbilt, while this will be App State’s first Power Four opponent. The Wolfpack also crushed Richmond 73-0 in its last matchup against a non-Power Four team, covering as a 33.5-point favorite. At 1-2, NC State can’t afford to look ahead to Louisville. Expect the Pack to clean up the slop.

Bulldogs QB Kamario Taylor has been a national darling and for good reason, but this Tigers defense is well-equipped to make him earn scores on consistent drives rather than explosive ones. On the other side, QB Austin Simmons has opened with eight touchdown passes and one interception, and Missouri has already won on the road at Kansas.

Mississippi State’s home starts are a clear angle here. The Bulldogs have hit the first-quarter total Over in five of their last six home games, and the current number asks for only 14 points. That trend fits a team that has repeatedly created explosive plays early. Missouri does not need to win the quarter for this to cash, because one scoring drive from the Tigers plus a normal Mississippi State opening series is enough.

Stanford's offense isn't trustworthy for an Over until proven otherwise. It scored six points against Miami and seven points against Duke. Quarterback Davis Warren is averaging just 6.3 yards per attempt, and the line in front of him can't protect (126th in PFF's pass-blocking grade)

Play Minnesota at anything over a touchdown. The Huskies' offense hasn't been efficient enough (75th in EPA per play) to expect a wide margin.

The Gophers rank 116th in snaps per minute (29.5) and will want to grind this game to a halt on the road, and the Huskies (84th in snaps per minute) will be happy to oblige. Neither offense is efficient enough or explosive enough to compensate for the slow tempo.

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:

TeamMoneyline
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.

TeamSpread
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?

TeamTotal
Alabama Crimson TideO 52.5 (-110)
Missouri TigersU 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.
