1. Cincinnati Bearcats vs. UCF Knights
Kickoff Time: 3:30 PM ET
TV Channel: ESPN2
Spread: UCF -3
Total: 59
Moneyline: UCF -140, Cincinnati +120
Implied Score: 31-28
Analysis:
UCF enters this game as a 3-point favorite, but the Bearcats have been exceeding expectations this season, showcasing a balanced offense led by QB Brendan Sorby. Sorby has been crucial in pushing the Bearcats to 16th in yards per play nationally. Meanwhile, UCF has struggled defensively, especially in pass coverage, ranking 133rd in passing explosiveness allowed. With Cincinnati coming off a bye week and UCF dealing with prep interruptions due to Hurricane Milton, Cincinnati looks poised to cover the spread and could potentially win outright.
Prediction: Cincinnati team total over 27.5, Cincinnati +3
2. Cal Golden Bears vs. Pitt Panthers
Kickoff Time: 3:30 PM ET
TV Channel: ESPN
Spread: Pitt -3
Total: 59
Moneyline: Pitt -150, Cal +130
Implied Score: 31-28
Analysis:
Pitt has embraced a faster, more aggressive offense this year under the leadership of QB Nate Holstein, making them one of the most explosive teams in the country. Cal, meanwhile, is reeling after a late-night loss to Miami and now faces a brutal road game across four time zones. With Pitt’s high-tempo offense and Cal’s struggles in pass defense, expect Pitt to control this game from start to finish.
Prediction: Pitt -3
3. Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners
Kickoff Time: 3:30 PM ET
TV Channel: ABC
Spread: Texas -14.5
Total: 52
Moneyline: Texas -450, Oklahoma +350
Implied Score: 32-18
Analysis:
While the Red River Rivalry always brings unpredictability, Texas is one of the best teams in the country this season, boasting an elite offense and solid defense. Oklahoma’s defense has had moments, but they’ve struggled in high-pressure situations. The Longhorns should come out strong early, and with Oklahoma’s shaky offensive line, Texas should dominate the first half and win comfortably.
Prediction: Texas -7.5 first half
4. Air Force Falcons vs. New Mexico Lobos
Kickoff Time: 7:00 PM ET
TV Channel: TrueTV/Max
Spread: New Mexico -6.5
Total: 54
Moneyline: New Mexico -250, Air Force +200
Implied Score: 30-24
Analysis:
Air Force has had a disastrous season, but the emergence of backup QB Quinton Hayes gives them a fighting chance. New Mexico, however, has been highly efficient offensively and their defense has improved significantly. Given the fast pace and poor defenses on both sides, expect a high-scoring affair.
Prediction: Over 54
5. Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Oregon Ducks
Kickoff Time: 7:30 PM ET
TV Channel: NBC
Spread: Ohio State -3.5
Total: 54
Moneyline: Ohio State -180, Oregon +140
Implied Score: 29-25
Analysis:
This clash of titans pits two undefeated powerhouses against each other. Ohio State’s offensive line has been fantastic, and while Oregon has a talented team, their defense has been vulnerable, especially against the run. Ohio State’s balance on both sides of the ball should give them the edge in a game that could have serious playoff implications.
Prediction: Ohio State -3.5
6. Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns vs. App State Mountaineers
Kickoff Time: 7:30 PM ET
TV Channel: ESPN+
Spread: Louisiana -10.5
Total: 64.5
Moneyline: Louisiana -400, App State +295
Implied Score: 37-27
Analysis:
App State’s defense has been horrendous, allowing over 50 points multiple times this season. Louisiana has been a surprise, especially on offense, ranking 20th in success rate. App State has struggled to stop anyone, and Louisiana’s strong running game should control the pace.
Prediction: Louisiana -6.5 first half
7. Ole Miss Rebels vs. LSU Tigers
Kickoff Time: 7:30 PM ET
TV Channel: ABC
Spread: Ole Miss -3.5
Total: 63.5
Moneyline: Ole Miss -140, LSU +120
Implied Score: 33-30
Analysis:
Ole Miss has one of the top defenses in the SEC, and with LSU’s inconsistency on offense, this could be a game where the Rebels control the line of scrimmage. LSU has been susceptible to pressure, and Ole Miss leads the nation in tackles for loss. Look for the Rebels to keep LSU in check offensively.
Prediction: LSU team total under 30.5
8. Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Kentucky Wildcats
Kickoff Time: 7:45 PM ET
TV Channel: SEC Network
Spread: Kentucky -13.5
Total: 46
Moneyline: Vanderbilt +395
Implied Score: 30-16
Analysis:
Coming off a historic upset of Alabama, Vanderbilt looks poised to cover this 13.5-point spread. Kentucky’s offense has been inconsistent, and while their defense is solid, Vanderbilt’s offense under QB Diego Pavia has been dynamic enough to keep them in the game.
Prediction: Vanderbilt +13.5
9. Kansas State Wildcats vs. Colorado Buffaloes
