College Football Record: 45-52-6 . Betting 1 Unit to Win X.

  • 6:00pm cst: Tulane Green Wave -5 vs. Memphis Tigers; Total 54.5

We both of these teams can put up some points. Neither team has shown a strong defense. It has been quite the opposite actually. Memphis has issues tackling especially against the run. Tulane has shown major defensive flaws against UAB. I think Memphis will be able to run with Tulane. Whichever team is at home historically has been the most successful. I’m taking the points with Memphis tonight. I was close to playing the over but I am sticking with the home side tonight.

Pick: Memphis +5 (-110) [via DraftKings]

  • 7:00pm cst: Fresno State Bulldogs -5.5 vs. Utah State Aggies; Total 55

This is an interesting line with Fresno State quarterback Mikey Keene most likely being OUT tonight. Utah State has been pretty underrated this season. They have not been amazing but have put together a decent offense with young talent. I am ok if Cooper Legas starts at quarterback for the Aggies. He was a solid starter last season as a freshman in a tough situation. Utah State has had success against Fresno State at home historically but they have not played since 2020. I am taking the home dog here. The loss of Mikey Keene for Fresno State is massive.

Pick: Utah State +5.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]

  • 9:00pm cst: Stanford Cardinal vs. Colorado Buffalo -12.5; Total 53.5

This might be one of those games where Colorado is licking their chops at finally playing an opponent where they can move the ball on easily once again. Stanford is struggling this season in year 1 of a rebuild. You know if Colorado plays some defense, gets a turnover and can move the ball freely they will be more than happy with running up the score. That would give them five wins on the season with one away from a bowl game. This is a huge game and I think Coach Prime knows it. I’m laying the number here. Finally time for Colorado to have some fireworks back in Bolder.

Pick: Colorado -12.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
