First look: Northwestern at Michigan odds and lines

Previewing the Northwestern at Michigan Week 8 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The Northwestern Wildcats (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) and Michigan Wolverines (6-0, 3-0) tussle in a Big Ten crossover game Saturday at noon ET at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. Below, we look at the Northwestern vs. Michigan odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Northwestern heads to Ann Arbor fresh off a 21-7 win over Rutgers. NU allowed just 222 total yards in the contest, its fewest against an FBS foe since Oct. 24 (207 vs. Maryland). And now the winless-on-the-road (0-2) Wildcats return to the Big House, a place they haven’t seen since 2015.

The Wolverines come in off a bye week. They squeaked by a game Nebraska Cornhuskers foe, 32-29, two weeks back to remain undefeated on the season. UM ranks in the nation’s top-15 in both scoring and scoring defense. The Wolverines had held five straight opponents under 5.0 yards per play until the ‘Huskers registered a 7.2-yard average on Oct. 9.

First look: USC at Notre Dame odds and lines

Previewing the USC at Notre Dame Week 8 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The USC Trojans (3-3) visit the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-1) Saturday in South Bend, Ind. The game at Notre Dame Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the USC vs. Notre Dame odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

USC comes in off a bye week. The Trojans have struggled on defense over the season’s first half. Southern Cal has coughed up 40-plus points in each of its three losses. Overall, USC ranks an average-sounding 69th in FBS in total defense (382.2 yards per game). But two of the team’s three victories have come against foes (Colorado, San Jose State) that rank among the bottom-15 offensive teams.

The Fighting Irish bounced back with an Oct. 9 win over Virginia Tech after falling to the Cincinnati Bearcats Oct. 2. Notre Dame has inexplicably averaged just 2.8 yards per carry in the ground game. Its 96.2 rushing yards per game rank 96th in the nation. But being in South Bend ought to help: UND had won 26 straight at Notre Dame Stadium until the 24-13 setback to UC.

Previewing the LSU at Ole Miss Week 8 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The LSU Tigers (4-3, 2-2 SEC) meet the No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels (5-1, 2-1) Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the LSU vs. Ole Miss odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

The Rebels dodged the Tennessee Volunteers, golf balls, mustard bottles and beer cans for a 31-26 victory in Knoxville Saturday night. Ole Miss improved to 3-2-1 ATS. The 31 points were actually a season-low in production in a victory.

First look: Tennessee at Alabama odds and lines

Previewing the Tennessee at Alabama Week 8 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The Tennessee Volunteers (4-3, 2-2 SEC) visit the No.4 Alabama Crimson Tide (6-1, 3-1) Saturday for an SEC tussle in Tuscaloosa. Kickoff at Bryant-Denny Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Tennessee vs. Alabama odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Tennessee had a two-game win streak snapped in a 31-26 home loss to Ole Miss Saturday. The Volunteers allowed a season-high 510 total yards (279 on the ground) in a setback that may also have cost them their starting quarterback for this game. Senior QB Hendon Hooker – who had 233 passing and 108 rushing yards in the loss – is questionable after he suffered a leg injury in the fourth quarter.

The Crimson Tide snapped back from their Oct. 9 loss to Texas A&M with a 41-9 win over Mississippi State Saturday. Alabama held the Bulldogs to 199 total yards (minus-1 rushing) and did not allow a touchdown. The Tide has yielded just 90.7 rushing yards per game, which ranks eighth in the nation, and that’s despite facing two opponents (Florida, Ole Miss) currently ranked in the nation’s top-5 in rushing.

First look: Iowa State at Kansas State odds and lines

Previewing the Iowa State Cyclones at Kansas State Wildcats Week 7 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The Iowa State Cyclones (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) take on the Kansas State Wildcats (3-2, 0-2) Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Iowa State at Kansas State odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Iowa State started the season with Big 12 title aspirations but slipped up against in-state rival Iowa (27-17 Sept. 11) and conference foe Baylor (31-29 Sept. 25). The Cyclone defense has done its part – its 233.8 yards allowed per game ranks third in the country – while the tandem of RB Breece Hall and QB Brock Purdy has led an offense averaging 442 yards per game (40th nationally).

Kansas State opened up conference play with a pair of losses to Oklahoma State (31-20 Sept. 25) and Oklahoma (37-31 Oct. 2). Its run defense has been stout, yielding just 86.4 yards per game to rank seventh nationally. But it gives up 256.2 yards per game through the air and has struggled to move the ball on offense, averaging 360.4 yards per game to rank 96th.

Previewing the Florida Gators at LSU Tigers Week 7 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

LSU was just beat by No. 11 Kentucky 42-21. The Tigers trailed by multiple scores for nearly 45 minutes of the game. The setback marked the Tigers’ second in as many weeks after an Oct. 2 loss to Auburn.

First look: Michigan State at Indiana odds and lines

Previewing the Michigan State Spartans at Indiana Hoosiers Week 7 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The No. 9 Michigan State Spartans (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) and Indiana Hoosiers (2-3, 0-2) tangle in a Saturday noon ET game at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind. Below, we look at the Michigan State vs. Indiana odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Michigan State remained undefeated with a 31-13 win at Rutgers. The MSU defense was solid in bouncing back after allowing 31 points to Western Kentucky in the previous game (Oct. 2). The Spartans held the Scarlet Knights to just 3.1 rushing yards per carry and a 5-of-19 performance on third and fourth downs. With players like DE Jacub Panasiuk (18 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble) leading the way, Michigan State has allowed just 19.7 points per game to rank 27th in the country.

The Hoosiers are coming off a bye week, which followed a 24-0 loss to now-No. 8 Penn State Oct. 2. IU’s schedule has been tough as the other conference loss was to Iowa. That one was a 34-6 setback Sept. 4, so Indiana has scored just 6 points through eight quarters of Big Ten play. IU’s struggling offense – ranked 107th FBS in total yards – figures to get better the rest of the season. A big key will be the status of the QB Michael Penix, Jr., who left IU’s last game with a separated shoulder. It’s unknown if he will play Saturday.

Previewing the Miami at North Carolina Week 7 matchup, with college football odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The Miami Hurricanes (2-3, 0-1 ACC) and North Carolina Tar Heels (3-3, 2-3) meet for an ACC Coastal Division showdown Saturday at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Miami vs. North Carolina odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Miami opened its ACC slate with a 30-28 loss Sept. 30 at Virginia. The Cavaliers led wire-to-wire and held the Hurricanes QB Tyler Van Dyke to 15-for-29 passing. UM was favored in the game and is now just 1-4 against the spread.

Miami was idle last week and now plays its first true road game of the season. Under head coach Manny Diaz, the Huccianes are 3-1 ATS as road dogs.

North Carolina is coming off a 35-25 home loss to Florida State and has dropped two of its last three games. UNC was outscored 35-7 over the middle quarters of Saturday’s loss, and was undone by some passing inefficiencies and 110 yards in penalties.
