This is when you get to have some fun.

They’re the college football money line picks that can turn a clunker of a weekend into something remember – especially if you dove in hard on the Sun Belt vs. the Big 12 last weekend.

Below are the five best value pick ideas for the money line bets. Hit one of them, and yay. Hit two, and you’re good. Hit three or more, and kaboom – but only invest the same amount on every game if you’re buying in bulk.

Remember, value is a big part of this. High risk, high reward, but without being totally insane. This is more about helping to confirm or deny what you already believe, so …

5. Boston College at Duke

Money Line: Duke -225, Boston College +190
PICK: Boston College +190
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Duke didn’t do much of anything in the opener against Notre Dame, but the defense did a decent job of keeping the game close. Boston College has yet to play, but it has good enough lines and enough talent under new head man Jeff Hafley to pull off an upset. At the very least, this should be a low-scoring game with BC never quite out of it, if at all.

4. Liberty at WKU

Money Line: WKU -600, Liberty +450
PICK: Liberty +450
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

The Liberty starting 22 is good enough to hang with just about any Group of Five program, and a few Power Fivers. They have yet to play, and WKU has a game under its belt with last week’s loss to Louisville, but this shouldn’t be a shootout and the game shouldn’t get out of hand. Watch out for the Flames to still be in the game in the fourth quarter.

3. Syracuse at Pitt

Money Line: Pitt -2000, Syracuse +1000
PICK: Syracuse +1000
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

This is all about the high-end value if it happens to hit.

The Orange looked awful, off, and clunky in the 31-6 loss to North Carolina to open the season, and Pitt looked amazing from the start in a blowout over Austin Peay from the FCS world.

Don’t believe in any of them.

There’s a reason Syracuse is +1000 – the offensive line is awful going against one of the nation’s top defensive fronts. However, the Orange gave the Panthers a battle in a 27-20 loss last year. It wouldn’t be that insane to pull this off.

Results So Far, Point Totals: 8-5

Click on each game for the game preview and fearless prediction.

We’re down to just 15 FBS vs. FBS games this week, so we’re turning the 10 Best Point Total Predictions piece into the top five – so we have to nail them cold.

The five point totals that appear to be a wee bit favorable are …

5. Syracuse at Pitt

POINT TOTAL: 49.5
PICK: Under
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Do you really believe in the Pitt offense just because it went off on Austin Peay? The point total is way, way, way low, but the offense struggled and sputtered to get past 30 points in 12 of the 16 games before whacking around the Governors.

The Syracuse offense went off last year in the last three games, but it sputtered and coughed in a 31-6 loss to North Carolina to start the season, and don’t believe that it’ll be able to crank up 24 points or more until you see it.

These two combined for 47 last year in a 27-20 Panther win, and that’s about what it should be this time around.

4. Liberty at WKU

POINT TOTAL: 52.5
PICK: Under
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

WKU has everything in place to be an under machine. The defense is good enough to come up with a big season, and the offense is still questionable. The Hilltoppers only came up with 21 points in last week’s loss to Louisville to make it 11 games in last 14 without hitting the 30 point mark.

There’s an offense in place, but even if it goes off, the D could keep Liberty to around 20 or so. If you take out losses to Louisville and Florida Atlantic since the start of November of 2018, WKU has allowed fewer than 30 points in the last 13 games against FBS teams.

3. Boston College at Georgia Tech

POINT TOTAL: 51.5
PICK: Under
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

You can’t go wrong assuming the under on Georgia Tech no matter what it is.

The Yellow Jackets got by Florida State last week by scoring 16 points.

The program has gone 15 straight games without scoring more than 28 points, and failed to get to 30 in 19 of the last 24. It might be able to pull this off against a Boston College team playing its first game, but until proven otherwise, assume the under.

Results So Far ATS: 6-7

Click on each game for the game preview and fearless prediction.

As we said last week, please … be kind.

Normally there are at least 50 FBS games to choose from at this time of year, and this week we have 16 after a few cancellations. This season we – along with everyone else – are flying a bit blind when it comes to teams just starting their seasons, so …

Whatever. No excuses.

The ten lines that appear to be a wee bit favorable are …

10. Wake Forest at NC State

LINE: NC State -1
ATS PICK: NC State
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

It’s not the big primetime ACC game – that’s Miami at Louisville – but it’s one of the few late games on a smallish Saturday night. Wake Forest rolled in last year’s game 44-10, but NC State should have a far stronger defense, a much more effective offense, and it’s far more experienced. 2009 was the last time the Wolfpack lost a season-opener at home.

9. Houston at Baylor

LINE: Baylor -4
ATS PICK: Baylor
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

This is just pure, unadulterated snobbery, even if the Big 12 hasn’t exactly shown up large so far.

Houston has been prepping for this game for the last year – at least it spent most of last season tuning up for 2020 – and Baylor has a new head coach in Dave Aranda, a whole slew of new defensive parts, and just enough question marks to be concerning.

However, you’re getting the Power Five program only giving away four points at home, and while that didn’t exactly matter last weekend against the Sun Belt, there are still enough good parts from last year’s Baylor team to open up with a win.

8. SMU at North Texas

LINE: SMU -14
ATS PICK: SMU
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Texas State was able to hang around with SMU in the opener to cover in a way-too-close 31-24 game, and North Texas went ballistic on a Houston Baptist team that gave Texas Tech a nightmare of a time.

The over on the 68 is the better play, but get ready for SMU to be a whole lot sharper than it was against the Bobcats with the passing game able to pull away late.

Over the last nine meetings between the two, North Texas is 5-4 +14 – with a few outright wins – but SMU won by 22 last year and should have the firepower to pull away late this time around.

7. Duke at Notre Dame

LINE: Notre Dame -25.5
ATS PICK: Notre Dame
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Let’s Try This Again, Part 1.

More like, You Owe Us For Last Week.

Notre Dame was sluggish against Duke – it didn’t cover the 20 in a 27-13 win – but the USF defense isn’t nearly as strong as what the Blue Devils brought, and the Irish offense should be a bit sharper.

And that’s one of the other themes/beliefs throughout all of this. In this weirdest of offseasons, it’s going to take a bit for some of these teams to get their legs and their timing. Expect Notre Dame to get both of those back against a USF team that will have to run to keep this close, and won’t.

6. Tulsa at Oklahoma State

LINE: Oklahoma State -23
ATS PICK: Oklahoma State
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

This is a pick assuming that Oklahoma State really is just that good this year.

Tulsa really does have the experience, the offensive pop, and the upside to make this a bit of a battle, but if Oklahoma State is okay from the start, it has the talent and firepower to be a real, live contender for the Big 12 Championship and potentially the CFP.

I’s a bit concerning that the Cowboys only won by 19 last year – and again, this Tulsa team is better – but for what it’s worth, the OSU program blew past the 23 in the previous three games.
