Texas at Arkansas odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas at Arkansas odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The 3rd-ranked Texas Longhorns (8-1, 4-1 SEC) and Arkansas Razorbacks (5-4, 3-3) meet Saturday. Kickoff from Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Ark., is scheduled for noon ET (ABC / ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Texas vs. Arkansas odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Longhorns head to Arkansas for this old Southwest Conference matchup. Arkansas has won the past 2 meetings in this series, with the most recent victory coming 40-21 as a 6.5-point underdog Sept. 11, 2021. The last time the Longhorns topped the Hogs was Sept. 27, 2008, at the DKR.

Texas worked over Florida 49-17 last weekend in Austin, cashing as a 23-point favorite. In 3 games off campus, either in a true road game or neutral-site affair, the Longhorns are 3-0 straight up (SU) and 2-1 against the spread (ATS), with the total going 1-1-1 in those outings.

Arkansas needs 1 more win in the next 3 outings to become bowl eligible. It is concerning that the Hogs were pounded 63-31 at home against Ole Miss last time out on Nov. 2 as an 8-point underdog.

The Razorbacks are just 2-3 SU in the past 5 games, while failing to cover 2 of the previous 3 outings. The Over has hit in back-to-back games for the first time since the total went high in 3 straight to open the season.

Against the spread: Texas -12.5 (-115) | Arkansas +12.5 (-105)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Texas at Arkansas picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas 37, Arkansas 16

Moneyline

Texas (-530) will cost you more than 5 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward.

Arkansas (+390) showed too many holes against Ole Miss last week, exposing so many weaknesses. The Razorbacks just don’t have the offense to hang with the ‘Horns.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Back TEXAS -12.5 (-115) on the road, and look for the Longhorns to win this one going away.

Arkansas +12.5 (-105) is 2-0 ATS this season as a double-digit underdog this season, including a 19-14 outright win over Tennessee Oct. 15. While that was certainly impressive, losses in the 2 most recent home games against LSU and Ole Miss by 24 or more points is not.

Over/Under

UNDER 57.5 (-110) is a strong play despite the fact the Over has connected in 2 in a row for Arkansas.

The Under is 4-2 in the past 6 outings for the Razorbacks, while going 2-1 in the past 3 home games.

For the Longhorns, the total has gone low at a 3-1-1 clip in the past 5 outings, while allowing 17 or fewer points in 7 of 9 games this season.

Ohio State at Northwestern odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Ohio State at Northwestern odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The 2nd-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) and Northwestern Wildcats (4-5, 2-4) meet Saturday at Wrigley Field. Kickoff from the Friendly Confines is scheduled for noon ET (BTN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Ohio State vs. Northwestern odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Buckeyes worked over Purdue at The Horseshoe last weekend by a 45-0 count, covering as 37-point favorites. It was the second shutout of the season for the Ohio State defense and the 8th time in 9 tries that the defense has allowed 17 or fewer points. Ohio State has covered back-to-back games for the first time since Sept. 28-Oct. 5, too. It hasn’t covered 3 in a row since Nov. 4-18, 2023.

Thanks to the shutout, the Under (56) cashed last week against the Boilermakers, and the total has gone Under in 3 in a row, and 5 of the past 6 games for Ohio State.

The Wildcats, who are coming off a bye, host this game at Wrigley Field as Ryan Field in Evanston is being renovated. The Northwestern defense has been fierce at times, but the offense has been lacking. In their last game, the Wildcats topped Purdue 26-20 in overtime Nov. 2, cashing as 2.5-point underdogs. The Over is 4-1 in their past 5 outings.

The last time these teams met, Ohio State eked out a 21-7 road win Nov. 5, 2022 on a day with extremely gusty conditions which limited the aerial attack with QB C.J. Stroud.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Ohio State at Northwestern picks and predictions

Prediction

Ohio State 30, Northwestern 12

Moneyline

Ohio State (-20000) will cost 200 times the potential return. In this day and age, 50 cents doesn’t buy you much, and it’s an especially poor idea to risk $100 to just to win those 2 quarters.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Back NORTHWESTERN +28.5 (-114) at Wrigley Field catching more than 4 touchdowns.

The Wildcats have the defense to make life miserable for Ohio State, but the Buckeyes will be able to brush off Northwestern after a while. The Wildcats offense just isn’t a threat, and the Buckeyes won’t be caught looking ahead to the titanic matchup with Indiana next week.

Weather won’t be a concern, either, like the last time these teams met in Evanston.

Over/Under

UNDER 43.5 (-105) is a low number, but it’s the play. The Northwestern defense will give Ohio State fits, at least early on. The Wildcats will struggle to be able to move the ball against the Buckeyes. Plus, playing in the strange dimensions of Wrigley Field will affect both offenses early, until they’re both able to adjust.

Washington State at New Mexico odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Washington State at New Mexico odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 18 Washington State Cougars (8-1) visit the New Mexico Lobos (4-6) Saturday night. Kickoff from University Stadium is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Washington State vs. New Mexico odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Washington State has won each of its last 4 games after taking down Utah State 49-28 Saturday, covering as a 20.5-point home favorite. QB John Mateer was 18-of-24 passing for 179 yards with 4 TDs while WR Kyle Williams hauled in 5 receptions for 55 yards and 3 TDs.

New Mexico snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 21-16 win at San Diego State Nov. 8 as a 1.5-point underdog. QB Devon Dampier completed 16 of 24 passes for 175 yards with a TD while RB Eli Sanders carried the ball 16 times for 173 yards and 2 TDs.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Washington State at New Mexico picks and predictions

Prediction

Washington State 38, New Mexico 24

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Cougars (-400) to win Saturday night.

Against the spread

BET WASHINGTON STATE -10.5 (-115).

Washington State has covered 3 of its last 4 games and scored 42 or more points in 2 of its last 3.

New Mexico has failed to cover 2 of its last 3 games overall and is just 1-2 ATS in its last 3 at home. It has allowed 45 or more points in 2 of its last 4 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 71.5 (-110).

This total is among the highest for either team this season, and while both teams can score in droves, the Under is the best play. The Cougars have scored 29 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5 games while allowing 28 or fewer in each of their last 4.

The Lobos have scored 21 or fewer points while allowing 17 or fewer in 2 of their last 3 games.

Louisville vs. Stanford odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Louisville at Stanford odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 24 Louisville Cardinals (6-3, 4-2 ACC) meet the Stanford Cardinal (2-7, 1-5) at Stanford Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we look at Louisville vs. Stanford odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Louisville secured its third win in the last 4 games, defeating the Clemson Tigers 33-21 as 10.5-point road underdogs while the Under 62.5 hit. RB Isaac Brown led the way with 151 yards on 20 carries and a TD.

Stanford has lost 6 straight games, with their latest defeat 59-28 at the N.C. State Wolfpack. They failed to cover as 9.5-point underdogs while the Over 46.5 hit. Stanford’s defense allowed 281 rushing yards and 5 TDs. QB Ashton Daniels was the lone bright spot, rushing for 129 yards and 2 TDs on 11 carries.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Louisville vs. Stanford picks and predictions

Prediction

Louisville 41, Stanford 14

Moneyline

PASS.

Louisville (-1400) will win this game comfortably, which is why you should take your wager to the spread.

Against the spread

BET LOUISVILLE -20.5 (-110).

Louisville enters this game after a bye week and riding a 2-game win streak, including a road victory over Clemson. Meanwhile, Stanford has dropped 6 straight games, with a defense that has allowed 40+ points in 3 of its last 4 outings. The Cardinal have also failed to cover in their last 10 November home games. Louisville has covered in 5 of its last 6 November road games against unranked teams. Stanford’s defense gives up an average of 34.6 points per game, and with recent struggles, it’s hard to back them here. Take Louisville to win on the road.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 57.5 (-110).

Louisville and Stanford are trending in opposite directions for totals, with the Cardinals hitting the over in 6 of 9 games and the Cardinal hitting the under in 6 of 9. The line is set at 58.5, reflecting expectations for Louisville to dominate and Stanford to control the clock. Stanford has gone under in 2 of its last 3 games, while Louisville has gone 2-2 in their last 4. With Stanford focusing on a run-heavy offense and Louisville not needing a huge margin for the playoffs, the Over seems unlikely. Louisville’s focus will shift to securing a bowl game rather than running up the score.

Arizona State at Kansas State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Arizona State Sun Devils at Kansas State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Arizona State Sun Devils (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) visit the No. 19 Kansas State Wildcats (7-2, 4-2) on Saturday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET at Bill Snyder Family Stadium (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Arizona State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Wildcats are coming off a bye. They last played on Nov. 2 and suffered their second loss of the season to snap a 4-game winning streak. The 24-19 on the road to Houston as 13-point favorites. QB Avery Johnson was picked off twice.

Arizona State at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 27, Arizona State 20

Moneyline

ASU’s only losses this season have been in conference road games, where they are 1-2. K-State is undefeated (4-0) at home and has the ninth-best rushing defense in the nation, allowing only 99.4 rushing yards per game on 3.1 yards per attempt.

Running the ball is ASU’s strength with Skattebo. The Sun Devils average 199 rushing yards per game on 4.7 yards per attempt. Skattebo has 1,001 rushing yards and 1,405 total yards from scrimmage with 13 TDs. If Kansas State slows him, the Sun Devil offense will sputter.

Expect Kansas State to pick up the win, but -300 odds do not have a good enough payout to bet the ML.

PASS.

Against the spread

The only 2 games in which Arizona State has failed to cover the spread were their 2 road losses, being defeated by 10 points by the Cincinnati Bearcats and 8 by the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The Wildcats are 3-6 ATS on the season. Their last home win was by 2 points.

BET ARIZONA STATE +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The only 2 games with the Under cashing in for the Sun Devils in conference play have been their 2 road losses. They averaged 18 points in those games.

Kansas State’s last 2 games have stayed Under the projected total. The Over has hit in 4 of their 7 wins and in 3 of their 4 conference wins.

UCLA at Washington odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s UCLA at Washington odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The UCLA Bruins (4-5, 3-4 Big Ten) and Washington Huskies (5-5, 3-4) meet Friday. Kickoff from Husky Stadium is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the UCLA vs. Washington odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Bruins steam in with 3 consecutive victories, including an impressive 20-17 win over Iowa last time out as 6.5-point underdogs at the Rose Bowl Nov. 8. The Under (45.5) cashed in that victory, and the total has gone low in 5 of the past 7 outings.

UCLA scored 17 or fewer points in each of its first 6 games, but it has put up 20 or more in the past 3 contests, averaging 27.3 points per game. The Bruins covered those 3 outings, too, while the Over went 2-1.

Washington was pounded 35-6 at Penn State Nov. 9, and it has dropped 3 of the past 4 games, while also going 1-3 against the spread (ATS). The Under has connected in 3 straight for the Huskies.

UCLA at Washington picks and predictions

Prediction

Washington 23, UCLA 20

Moneyline

Washington (-185) is a little on the risky side, costing you nearly 2 times your potential return. If you were to toss the Huskies into a multi-leg parlay, that would be OK, but for a standalone bet it is too much risk and not enough return.

Washington is 5-0 straight up at home this season, but UCLA has been red-hot lately.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Back UCLA +4 (-110) catching the points, but go lightly with a half-unit play at most.

The Bruins have been hot against the number, covering in 3 straight games, while the Huskies are 1-3 ATS in the past 4 outings and 3-6 ATS across the previous 9 contests.

Over/Under

UNDER 46.5 (-105) is worth a look in this Big Ten battle in the Pacific Northwest.

The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for the Dawgs, while going 8-2 in 10 games on the season.

For the Bruins, the total has gone low in 5 of the past 7 games. The Under also cashed in the most recent meeting in Seattle, a 24-17 win by UCLA Oct. 16, 2021.

The Cowboys picked up a thrilling 49-45 win at the New Mexico Lobos last time out on Nov. 2 as a 9-point underdog. While Wyoming is no longer bowl eligible, it isn’t throwing in the towel. The Cowboys have covered a season-high 3 straight, while going 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 5 outings.

The Rams are already bowl eligible, but they’re unbeaten in the Mountain West and have loftier goals. Colorado State topped the Nevada Wolf Pack 38-21 as a 2.5-point road favorite last time out on Nov. 2, and CSU has covered 6 in a row, The Under has a 3-1 edge in the past 4 tilts.

Prediction

The Rams have been on fire against the number, covering 6 in a row. Yes, the Cowboys are equally hot, cashing in 3 in a row, and 4 of the past 5 games. However, Wyoming is 2-2 ATS in 4 road games this season.

Over/Under

OVER 46.5 (-110) is the play in Fort Collins on Friday night.

The Over cashed for Wyoming in the ABQ last time, as the Pokes and Lobos combined for 94 points on a total of just 61. The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 contests for the Cowboys.

Wisconsin has lost all 3 games versus ranked opponents this year and is 3-2 at home.

Oregon at Wisconsin picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 37, Wisconsin 17

Moneyline

Wisconsin’s line is less favorable than expected, meaning neither side presents enough value to warrant attention as a standalone wager.

PASS.

Against the spread

Oregon’s 5-5 ATS mark might prompt some doubters to take the points.

Wisconsin’s best bet to keep this game close is to lean on the run game with emerging tailback Tawee Walker (10 TDs, 4.8 yards per carry this year).

However, dealing with Gabriel and Oregon’s own dominant RB Jordan James (10 TDs, 5.7 yards per carry) likely will prove too tough a test for the Badgers.

The predicted score clears the spread. Follow that guidance.

BET OREGON -13.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Oregon’s scoring upside has been overvalued by the books most of this year and has resulted in a 4-6-0 record on the total. Wisconsin has surprised at 5-4.

Even with the previously over-optimistic lines, Oregon has scored at least 31 points in every win since Week 1, and they own the ninth-best scoring defense (16.0 PPG).

Even with these conflicting metrics, bettors should expect Oregon to run up the score to solidify its No. 1 standing and carry the total on its own.

BET OVER 51.5 (-110).

Virginia at Notre Dame odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Virginia at Notre Dame odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-1) host the Virginia Cavaliers (5-4) Saturday in their final true home game of the regular season. Kickoff from Notre Dame Stadium is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (NBC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Virginia at Notre Dame odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Irish have rattled off 7 wins since their surprising Week 2 loss to Northern Illinois, with a 52-3 stomping of Florida State last week punctuating their active streak. Notre Dame sits as 1 of 7 FBS teams ranked in the top 15 for scoring offense (38.3) and scoring defense (11.1).

Virginia toppled No. 18 Pitt last weekend 24-19, but faces the difficult task of upsetting back-to-back ranked opponents — and the Cavaliers face another ranked team in ACC mates SMU next week. Still, they’re looking to qualify for a bowl, so they have their own reason to put up a fight yet again.

Virginia at Notre Dame odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of college football odds. Lines last updated Friday at 7:36 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Virginia +1100 (bet $100 to win $1,100) | Notre Dame -2500 (bet $2,500 to win $100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Virginia at Notre Dame picks and predictions

Prediction

Notre Dame 38, Virginia 14

Moneyline

Virginia’s win over Pitt could build a case to sprinkle-bet a quadruple-digit juice for a second straight upset, but Notre Dame looks too much in control of game pace since their sole loss of the season.

PASS, barring a planned high-risk, high-reward sprinkle bet in your budget.

Against the spread

These schools sit tied for 10th in the nation with a 6-2-1 mark ATS.

Notre Dame has covered in each of its past 4 games. They’ve successfully kept their College Football Playoff chances afloat while upset losses have dinged many of their competitors.

Expect the Irish to continue their scoring aggression to win over the ranking committee and put up a strong front heading into what could be a season-making clash with Army.

The (-105) juice at least offers a profitable return.

BET NOTRE DAME -23.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Both clubs rank in the middle of the pack for rushing defense, but expect Notre Dame to dominate here.

QB Riley Leonard and RBs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price all have averaged at least 5.9 yards per carry and total 27 TDs between them (13 for Leonard, 10 for Love).

Despite a litany of season-ending injuries to key players, including elite prospect CB Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame’s 11.1 points allowed per game ranks third in the nation in scoring defense. However, Virginia has allowed 26.7 PPG (83rd) and will allow Notre Dame’s offense to carry the load to meet the total.

BET OVER 50.5 (-110).
