| Georgia State Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-4.5 -110 | 56.5 -108o / -112u | -192 |
Let’s go to the Sun Belt. Coastal has had 15 days to prepare after playing on Friday night and getting a bye week to get ready for this game against Georgia State, which has lost two straight.
Now, according to the Sun Belt availability report, Georgia State quarterback Cameran Brown is doubtful. That’s a huge drop-off without him, so I expect the market to react to that soon.
I’m going to go with Coastal here in the underdog spot, and I also bet the Chanticleers on the spread as well.
UConn ML -105 vs. Air Force
| UConn Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
+1.5 -120 | 51.5 -110o / -110u | -105 |
| Air Force Odds | ||
|---|---|---|
| Spread | Total | Moneyline |
-1.5 +100 | 51.5 -110o / -110u | -115 |
By Stuckey
I was thinking about Northwestern against Oregon. Fade Dan Lanning forever.
Northwestern gets back stud tight end Luke Dehnicke, who had seven catches for 140 yards against Indiana the last time we saw him. And I’m not sure Oregon really wants this one. Do you think it has fully prepared for this Chip Kelly offense?
I also thought about Wisconsin, just because it feels like one of those games where the whole thing comes down to some random turnover.
But let’s go with UConn.
The Huskies are a small dog against Air Force, and I think the Falcons are down with the third-string quarterback now. UConn’s pass defense has been shaky, but its run defense is very good. That's what matters against a run-heavy team like Air Force.
With the Falcons' third quarterback, are they really going to be able to throw the ball? No.
Meanwhile, UConn’s offense has been way better than I expected. So, let’s take the Huskies out west.
