Air Force at (22) Army odds
Opening line
Army -6.5, Over/Under 41.5
Why the line moved
The Black Knights were already down two points at FanDuel, sitting as 4.5-point favorites Monday night on some interesting point-spread betting splits: ticket count is more than 2/1 Army, but money is almost dead even. The total is also down a point to 40.5, with 77 percent of bets and nearly all the money on the Under.
Houston at (6) Cincinnati Odds
Opening line
Cincinnati -10.5, Over/Under 58.5
Why the line moved
Cincinnati opened -10.5 at FanDuel and sped to -13.5 by Monday afternoon, but the betting splits are a bit wild. The Bearcats are attracting 95 percent of early tickets, but money is two-way, with 52 percent of early dollars on double-digit-dog Houston. The total is down to 56.5 from 58.5, with a 4/1 ticket count on the Under and almost all the early money on the Under.
(25) Michigan at (13) Indiana odds
Opening line
Michigan -3.5, Over/Under 55.5
Why the line moved
Michigan, coming off a stunning home loss to Michigan State, opened -3.5 at FanDuel and moved to -2.5. As of Monday night, 53 percent of bets and 68 percent of money were on the Wolverines. The total tumbled from 55.5 to 51.5, with 62 percent of tickets on the Over, but 74 percent of cash on the Under.
Rutgers at (3) Ohio State Odds
Opening line
Ohio State -38, Over/Under TBA
Why the line moved
Ohio State opened a massive favorite at The SuperBook at Westgate, and there was no line movement on Monday. The Buckeyes are coming off a 38-25 victory at Penn State, while Rutgers fell to visiting Indiana 37-21.
Arizona State at (20) USC odds
Opening line
Southern California -9.5, Over/Under 59.5
Why the line moved
And hello to the Pac-12, which finally joins the college football scene on the first weekend of November. By Monday night, USC was already up to -11.5 at FanDuel in a game drawing two-way action, with 54 percent of bets on Arizona State and 55 percent of money on Southern Cal. The total ticked from 59.5 to 58.5, though 69 percent of bets and 60 percent of dollars were on the Over as of Monday night.
Stanford at (14) Oregon odds
Opening line
Oregon -9.5, Over/Under 53.5
Why the line moved
Staying in the Pac-12, FanDuel sped to Ducks -12 Sunday afternoon, but a volatile line was down to -10.5 by late Monday morning. Still, ticket count and money were both running 4/1 on Oregon. The total dipped from 53.5 to 52.5 Monday, with tickets split 50/50 but almost all the early money on the Under.
(12) Oklahoma State at Kansas State odds
Opening line
Oklahoma State -9.5, Over/Under 50.5
Why the line moved
The Cowboys bolted to -13.5 at FanDuel by early Monday afternoon, then receded a bit to -12.5. It's two-way action early, with 59 percent of tickets on Kansas State and 53 percent of money on Oklahoma State. The total first went up to 51.5, then plummeted to 46.5, with tickets more than 2/1 on the Over, but money 2/1 on the Under.
(8) Florida at (5) Georgia odds
Opening line
Georgia -4.5, Over/Under 52.5
Why the line moved
It's a neutral-site game in Jacksonville, Fla., for the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, the unofficial name of this rivalry. FanDuel opened the Bulldogs -4.5, and that number stuck through Monday night, while the total moved from 52.5 to 53.5, but betting splits were not yet available.
(1) Clemson at (4) Notre Dame odds
Opening line
Clemson -6.5, Over/Under 51.5
Why the line moved
FanDuel posted a look-ahead line for this game back on Oct. 24, with Clemson a 14.5-point road chalk. However, last week's news that Tigers stud QB Trevor Lawrence tested positive for COVID-19 led to that line coming off the board. On the subsequent news that Lawrence won't play this week, the line went up at Clemson -6.5 Sunday and fell to -5.5 Monday. The Tigers were landing 60 percent of bets/64 percent of money on the spread through Monday night. The total opened 51.5 and went to 52.5 before returning to the opener Monday, with 76 percent of bets on the Over, but 53 percent of early money on the Under.

Tech Trends - Week 10
Bruce Marshall
Week 10 of the College Football season kicks off on Wednesday, Nov. 4 with MACtion and concludes on Saturday Nov. 7.
We've identified betting trends and angles for key matchups between FBS and FCS matchups.
We also have "Tech Edge" leans on the side or total for each game too.
Wednesday, Nov. 4
BALL STATE at MIAMI-OHIO (CBSSN, 7:00 p.m.)
Ball State covered 5 of 6 away from Muncie LY.
Also 5-1 as underdog.
Miami has lost and failed to cover openers the past three seasons.
Tech Edge: Slight to Ball State, based on team trends.
EASTERN MICHIGAN at KENT STATE (ESPN+, 6:00 p.m.)
EMU enters 2020 with 22-5-1 spread mark last 28 away from Ypsilanti.
Though has failed to cover last two years vs. Kent State.
Golden Flashes closed 2019 covering last 5 and 7 of last 8, but only 2-2 as chalk, and just 6-8 in role.
Tech Edge: EMU, based on team trends.
WESTERN MICHIGAN at AKRON (ESPN3, 6:00 p.m.)
WMU just 1-7-1 vs. line last 9 away from Waldo Stadium, and just 6-12-1 last 19 as chalk.
Zips, however, off subterranean 1-11 SU and spread marks in 2019 for Arth, and 1-11 vs. spread last 12 as host.
Tech Edge: WMU, based on recent Akron woes.
BOWLING GREEN at TOLEDO (ESPNU, 8:00 p.m.)
BG continued as poor value last season under Loeffler, only 3-9 vs. line and now 14-34 vs. spread the past four seasons.
Falcons did shock local rival Toledo 20-7 LY as 26½-point dog after losing nine straight in series and having allowed 204 points the previous four series losses.
Rockets didn’t exactly close with a rush in 2019 themselves as 0-6-1 last 7 vs. number suggests.
But, Toledo had covered five of previous seven as MAC host into 2019 and was 5-1 as DD chalk in 2018.
Tech Edge: Toledo, based on extended Bowling Green woes.
BUFFALO at NORTHERN ILLINOIS (ESPN2, 7:00 p.m.)
Buffalo on 26-12-3 run vs. line since late in 2016 for Leipold.
Bulls, however, have lost all 11 SU vs. NIU since 1999 (didn’t play LY).
Meetings in 2017-18 each decided by one point!
Huskies were 5-1 as dog in 2019 and 8-2 last ten in role.
Tech Edge: Slight to Buffalo, based on team trends.
OHIO at CENTRAL MICHIGAN (ESPN, 7:00 p.m.)
Solich has covered 5 of his last 7 as MAC visitor and 15-7 vs. spread as visitor since 2016.
If Solich a 'dog here note 14-5 mark in role since 2015.
Ohio has lost and failed to cover last 4 vs CMU though teams haven’t met since 2017.
McElwain 10-4 vs. spread in Chip debut LY when 6-0 vs. spread at Mt Pleasant (Not-so-pleasant for visitors).
Tech Edge: Slight to Ohio, especially if dog, based on extended Solich trends.
Thursday, Nov. 5
WYOMING at COLORADO STATE (CBSSN, 9:00 p.m.)
Border war!
Advantage Wyoming, as Bohl has won and covered last four meetings.
Cowboys on 8-2 spread run in Laramie after Hawaii win.

BYU vs. Boise State Odds
Joe Nelson
While the ACC is in the spotlight Saturday with Clemson and Notre Dame, the college football weekend will kick off with a huge game late Friday night.
Undefeated BYU heads to Boise State for the toughest remaining test on the schedule with a perfect season in the balance.
Boise State looks to stay perfect as well as one of the expected Mountain West leaders that also could have a chance to run the table after nearly doing so last season. Here is a look at Friday’s big game between the Cougars and the Broncos.
Week 10 Matchup: Independent vs. Mountain West
Venue: Albertsons Stadium

How to Handicap BYU-Boise State
BYU has outscored its opposition 311-94 this season but it has not been a formidable path. BYU has only played two road games this season and will be at home in the final two games on the schedule as this is the toughest game remaining on what many will expect to be a 10-0 campaign. Kalani Sitake is now 34-25 S/U at BYU with his first season of 2016 finishing 9-4 being his best season until this year.
The Mountain West season just started as Boise State has only played two games. The Broncos have won those games with 42 and 49 points respectively but the defense did show some cracks last week allowing 30 points in a competitive game with Air Force. Since 2014 under Bryan Harsin Boise State is 66-17 including going 36-5 S/U on the famous blue turf.
Last week at Air Force Boise State allowed 484 yards but was able to pull away in the fourth quarter with the help of an 88-yard kickoff return touchdown. Air Force posted 6.2 yards per rush after the Broncos were a top 20 team nationally last season allowing just 3.6 yards per rush.
BYU hosted Western Kentucky last week and was mostly unchallenged in a 41-10 win. The 410-262 yardage edge wasn’t overwhelming but BYU had 35 points at halftime and coasted from there. BYU provided Boise State’s only regular season loss last season with a 28-25 win in Provo last October and this will be just the second time in Harsin’s time coaching the Broncos that they will have a home underdog price.
National Implications?
BYU has climbed into the top 10 of the polls and most power ratings at 7-0 with great statistics. The schedule grades poorly but a win here would give the team three road wins of decent quality. With a dearth of undefeated teams remaining around the country the Cougars could at least have an argument for national playoff consideration if they reach 10-0.
For that to be a realistic prospect BYU may need to win pretty handily in this game which is a national TV opportunity and will likely hold up as by far the highest quality team on the schedule.
If a run at being the first non-power 5 school to be in the College Football Playoff isn’t realistic, being the top Group of 5 squad will still be an alluring prize. Boise State is 42-8 S/U in Mountain West games under Harsin including going 8-0 last season and this is the only non-conference game this season.
With an abbreviated eight-game schedule Boise State is also a candidate to finish undefeated with a favorable remaining path and Nevada and San Diego State absent from the conference slate. Three of the final four games of the season will be road games but this game certainly lurks as the biggest challenge.
Quarterback Corner
Hank Bachmeier had great numbers when he was healthy last season as a freshman leading Boise State in seven regular season wins though he played poorly in the bowl game loss to Washington. Bachmeier didn’t play vs. BYU last season however and after a terrific opening performance in the win over Utah State he was a surprise scratch last week.
Jack Sears played in one game for USC in 2018 and after transferring to Boise State he made his first start last week in Bachmeier’s absence. He played extremely well but figures to face a much tougher assignment this week, though there has been little information on Bachmeier’s status this season.
Zach Wilson has moved to the top 5 in many Heisman Trophy Odds offerings and he may wind up with one of the best statistical lines in the nation for BYU. He has 19 touchdowns and only two interceptions while taking only four sacks.
His completion rate is nearly 75 percent and he has averaged 11.1 yards per attempt. Only Mac Jones and Grayson McCall among players that have more than two games played have a higher QB Rating at this point in the season than Wilson.
Betting Analysis – Cougars
2020: 7-0 S/U, 5-2 ATS, 3-4 O/U
BYU has allowed just 4.5 yards per play this season and 281 yards per game, both among the best in the nation among teams that have played at least a handful of games so far. BYU is allowing only 3.1 yards per rush and 6.3 yards per pass attempt.
Head coach Kalani Sitake took over for Bronco Mendenhall starting in the 2016 season. BYU was 9-4 that season and then reversed that record for a rare losing season in Provo in 2017.
The past two seasons BYU has finished 7-6 as Sitake is 34-25 S/U and 31-27-1 ATS in his career. BYU is 12-13 S/U on the road under Sitake but 16-9 ATS, but just 7-6 S/U and 6-7 ATS as a road favorite even after winning at Houston a few weeks ago.
BYU hasn’t had many games that have been competitive into the second half but in the one game where they were really tested at Houston, they rallied back from a 26-14 deficit with four touchdowns in the final 16 minutes.
Wilson rightly gets most of the attention and has climbed into the first round of a few 2021 NFL mock drafts leading the offense but Tyler Allgeier has gained 6.5 yards per rush and often hasn’t needed to be in games in the second halves.
The backfield remains a committee approach and expect to see Sione Finau more involved in the offense moving forward after returning from an early season injury as he was last season’s leading rusher.
Betting Analysis - Broncos
2020: 2-0 S/U, 2-0 ATS, 2-0 O/U
Boise State is a tough team to get a read on two games in given that different quarterbacks have played in those games. The production was nearly identical in both games but Boise State hit more big plays under Sears while rarely even facing 3rd down situations. Given how different styles of offenses the two opponents have been, the defensive strengths for Boise State aren’t clear and they have not faced a capable passing attack like BYU offers yet.
Normally given one of the strongest home field edges in the nation, Boise State’s edge at home could be downgraded a bit this season with no fans in attendance other than family members and a small number of students. The quarterbacks have both appeared capable and any information on who starts this week isn’t likely to change the spread or approach dramatically.
Khalil Shakir is the receiver to watch for Boise State, considered a borderline NFL draft pick at this point in his junior season. He already has 13 catches for 213 yards in two games as the Broncos have leaned on the passing game despite still posting 350 rushing yards already this season.
Head-to-Head
BYU has never won in Boise but three of the five losses have been very close games. Boise State is 7-3 S/U but 3-7 ATS in the past 10 meetings between these teams since 2003.
One of the wins for BYU was last season with a 28-25 result in Provo, a result that wound up costing Boise State a New Year’s Six invitation. The last meeting in Boise in 2018 was a 21-16 win for the Broncos and BYU hasn’t been favored in this series since a home win in 2013.
Last Meeting - 2019 (BYU 28 Boise State 25)
Boise State was 6-0 heading into last season’s game which was the second game started by Chase Cord after Bachmeier’s injury. Boise State led 10-7 at halftime but BYU scored three touchdowns in the third quarter.
Boise State climbed back within three in the fourth but BYU was able to burn off the final three-plus minutes to end the game. Both teams had missed field goals in the game and one of two Cord interceptions set-up a short field touchdown drive for BYU.
Wilson also didn’t play for BYU as Baylor Romney had an efficient game in his first career start and remains Wilson’s backup this season.
Notable Betting Trends
-- BYU is 12-13 S/U and 16-9 ATS on the road while 7-6 S/U and 6-7 ATS as a road favorite under Sitake including 2-5 ATS since the start of last season.
-- BYU is 32-38 ATS as a road favorite since 1997.
-- BYU is 12-20 ATS since 2011 as a favorite of 7 or fewer points including 4-11 ATS since 2016.
-- Boise State is 127-8 S/U and 66-55-3 ATS at home since 1999.
-- In that time they have gone 5-1 S/U and 5-1 ATS as a home underdog, though four of those wins were back in 1999.
-- Boise State has been a home underdog once since 2001, winning 24-17 at +2.5 in 2018 vs. Fresno State.
