Let’s have some enjoyable and hopefully, make some cash.

Document:
Final Week: 2-4
Season: 20-26
(All occasions ET)
Saturday, Oct. 26
Tulane @ North Texas (midday, ESPN2)
I don’t like this matchup in any respect for North Texas. The Imply Inexperienced have three wins over Wyoming, Tulsa and FAU, whereas giving up 52 to Memphis. Jon Sumrall’s workforce received ugly final week in opposition to Rice however ought to be capable of put up factors on North Texas and keep unbeaten within the AAC.
PICK: Tulane (-7.5) to win by greater than 7.5 factors
Japanese Michigan @ Akron (3:30 p.m., ESPN+)
Akron has definitely drawn the brief finish of the stick up to now in scheduling, because it has confronted three of the higher groups within the MAC in Bowling Inexperienced, Ohio and Western Michigan. EMU, however, has constructed its 5-2 document on some simpler competitors. Joe Moorhead is beginning to see some dividends after some lean years, and I am going to seize the Zips, plus the factors.
PICK: Akron (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 factors, or win outright
No. 2 Oregon Geese vs. Purdue Boilermakers Highlights
No. 20 Illinois @ No. 1 Oregon (3:30 p.m., CBS)
I had a tough time deciding on Oregon -21, Illinois workforce whole Below or Oregon workforce whole Over. However I in the end went with the Geese minus the factors as a result of I feel we’ll see Dillon Gabriel exploit the Illini protection like Purdue QB Ryan Browne did a few weeks again. I additionally anticipate the Illini to battle rather a lot defending Luke Altmyer in opposition to an Oregon workforce enjoying its first residence recreation because the No. 1 workforce within the nation.
PICK: Oregon (-21) to win by greater than 21 factors
Bowling Inexperienced @ Toledo (3:30 p.m., ESPN+)
Toledo has the win at Mississippi State, however one may argue what the Falcons did at Penn State and Texas A&M — two top-15 groups — is much more spectacular. Nonetheless, the loss to NIU has BG behind the eight-ball by way of attending to the MAC title recreation, and it may use a win right here to carry some tiebreaker edges. I like a determined BG right here to drag the slight upset.
PICK: Bowling Inexperienced (+2.5) to lose by fewer than 2.5 factors, or win outright
CFB Week 9 Finest Bets: Ohio State vs. Nebraska, Akron vs. Japanese Michigan
Michigan State @ Michigan (7:30 p.m., BTN)
Michigan’s offense is dreadful. How groups like Michigan, Florida State and Oklahoma do not have a quarterback they will rely on is wonderful. Except this recreation goes to additional time, I’d be very stunned if each groups hit 20 factors right here.
PICK: Below 41 factors scored by each groups mixed
UNDERDOGS TO TAKE ON THE MONEYLINE:
Syracuse +190
UNLV +145
Bowling Inexperienced +125
Akron +135
Houston +145
Wisconsin +200
