Utah vs. Wyoming, 6:00PM ET
The home team is 7-2 against the spread in the last nine meetings between these two teams, but it’s hard to pick against Utah right now. That’s why there may be more value in the over, which has hit in six of the last seven games between the Utes and the Cowboys. The over is also 5-0 in the Cowboy’s last five home games versus a team with a winning road record and 4-1 in their last five games as a home underdog. On the other side, the over is 5-1 in the Utes’ last six games overall and 4-1 in their last five road games. Our pick for this game is the over 53 points, which isn’t necessarily high for a college football total.

Ohio State vs. Wisconsin, 7:00PM ET
It’s tempting to take Ohio State given how solid they’ve been against the number this year and how dreadful Wisconsin has been, but the real value is in the under. The total has gone under in five of the last five meetings between these two teams in Wisconsin and is also 6-2 in the last eight meetings overall. The Buckeyes are allowing just 13.5 points per game this year, while the Badgers are surrendering only 14.8 PPG at home. Our pick is the under in what should be a hard-nosed defensive battle throughout.

Boise State vs. San Jose State, 8:00PM ET
It’s hard to pick against Boise State when its proven time and time again that it can cover big point spreads – even on the road. The Broncos are 4-0 against the spread in their last four games in October and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games. They’re also 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite and 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a road favorite of 10.5 points or more. San Jose State, on the other hand, is 3-13 ATS in its last 16 conference games and 3-13 ATS in its last 16 games as an underdog. The Spartans are also 0-6 ATS in their last six home games, which is why our pick is the Broncos minus the points in this Week 7 contest.

Nevada vs. Hawaii, 10:30PM ET
Nevada may have the better record, but 6.5 points seems like an awfully lot to giving a good home team like Hawaii. The underdog is 4-0 against the spread in the last four meetings between these two teams and the home squad is 7-2 ATS in the last nine overall meetings. On paper, the Wolf Pack looks like the much stronger team and maybe they are. But traveling across seas has never been an easy feat for teams and the Warriors are playing with a ton of confidence right now after winning three straight. Our pick is Hawaii +6.5.
