Arizona State at Oregon State: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 9 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Arizona State 31, Oregon State 20

Moneyline (ML)

Oregon State is suddenly playing better but still is a 4-5 team, having lost four of five at home. They offer value at +120, but the SUN DEVILS are the smarter bet at -143.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Arizona State returns a profit of $7.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The SUN DEVILS have not been a good bet against the spread. They are favored by 2.5 (-121) on the road, but have covered the spread only three times all season.

Oregon State, on the other hand, is 6-3 against the spread. However, the Arizona State defense should hold up and RB Eno Benjamin should be able to be the workhorse, as the Beavers allow over 192 rushing yards per game.

Lay the points with ASU.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 57.5 points, which is high. Both teams have hit the under in five of their nine games this season. The two teams combine to average 53 points. That is right about where Saturday’s game will end.

Take the UNDER (-115).

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM


What’s Going To Happen

There’s a whole lot that has to be sorted out in the Mountain West’s West division.

San Diego State can’t clinch the division this weekend since Nevada – who pulled off a 17-13 stunner in San Diego last week – doesn’t play again until next week. but a win sets things up for a showdown at Hawaii.

Fresno State – thanks to a win over the Rainbow Warriors – can take the West by winning out, getting Nevada next week and closing at San Jose State.

First, the Bulldogs have to figure out how to score on the Aztecs.

San Diego State will give up 17 points, because that’s what it does. In the last three games, it won twice by giving up that many, and lost to Nevada 17-13.

The D is devastating against the run, the offense controls the clock by slowing things down to a dead stop, and the formula keeps on working. But it also keeps both teams in the game.

Fresno State needs its ground attack to work, and that’s not going to happen.

SDSU will have the ball for about 35 minutes, Fresno State won’t generate nearly enough pressure to be a bother, and it’ll be yet another slow-and-go win for a team that doesn’t make the big mistakes and knows its limitations.

Louisiana Tech (8-1) vs. Marshall (6-3) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM


What’s Going To Happen

Nothing can be decided quite yet in the Conference USA race, but no matter how this turns out, there’s a chance it could be a preview of the championship game.

Louisiana Tech is on an eight-game winning streak including a victory over Southern Miss. If it wins this and Southern Miss loses to UTSA, the Bulldogs can clinch the West next week at UAB.

If they lose, though, and UAB beats UTEP, the division race gets really, really interesting next week.

Marshall has upper-hand in he East with wins over WKU and Florida Atlantic. On a four-game winning streak, it can’t clinch this weekend – FAU is off until next week – but it can be knocking on the door.

Louisiana Tech’s offense has turned unstoppable. There was the “it hasn’t played anyone” problem for most of the year, but it rocked a good USM team, and last week took out North Texas 52-17.

The offensive line is playing at a high level, the defense is fantastic at taking the ball away, and senior QB J’Mar Smith is on a tear, throwing for 210 yards or more in every game with 14 touchdowns and just three picks.

But now he has to deal with the Marshall pass rush and one of the league’s better defenses.

The Herd might not have Tech’s offensive attack, but the secondary has tightened up over the second half of the year allowing just three touchdowns and winning despite a 362-yard passing day from FAU’s Chris Robison and a huge performance from WKU’s Ty Storey.

How is MU getting it done?

Three takeaways saved the day against WKU, and 254 rushing yards got the job done against FAU.

Louisiana Tech hasn’t allowed more than 190 yards rushing against any FBS team, is giving up a mere 3.7 yards per carry, and it’s a +6 in turnover margin over the last three games and have been a +7 overall since the loss to Texas.

At home, the Marshall pass rush will do just enough to bother Smith, and there won’t be the giveaways that the Bulldogs have been living on. Tech won’t go off, but it’ll have just enough offense to pull off the big road win.

USC (6-4) vs. Cal (5-4) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM


Why USC Will Win

Yeah, Cal might have showed up large against Washington State in a 33-20 win last week, but the USC defense is a different animal to deal with. It’s not a killer, and it’s not Utah’s, but it’s better than Wazzu’s.

Before last week’s performance, the Bears went four straight games without coming up with 300 total yards, and it was the first time all season the O scored more than 28 points.

USC’s defensive front hasn’t allowed more than 200 rushing yards in the last four games and has stiffened up a bit since getting hammered by Notre Dame.

Cal’s running game doesn’t have the offensive front to generate a consistent push, and the passing attack isn’t strong enough to take advantage of a leaky Trojan secondary.

USC has to get up early. The Cal defense might be fantastic, but it’s possible to throw on this group. Washington State went Washington State for over 400 yards through the air on a defense that’s allowed 200 passing yards or more five times in seven games. USC’s Kedon Slovis should be able to throw for enough to keep things moving, but …

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Cal Will Win

It that going to be the Devon Modster that showed up against the Cougars?

The Bear quarterback struggled after taking over for an injured Chase Garbers, missed the Utah game hurt, and came out roaring in the win with a 230-yard, three-touchdown day with 32 yards and a touchdown. For an offense that’s needed a sign of life, he was it.

Or, could Garbers really be back?

He’s practicing and might be able to give it a go. Either way, the Bears have quarterbacks they can rely on.  All they have to do is be good, and hope the D is great.

It’s been a bit of a rocky run over the last few weeks having to deal with Oregon, Utah and Washington State, but the Cal defense has still been good enough to keep the team in the tough games. It got smacked by Utah, but only gave up 17 points to Oregon and only allowed more than 24 points once all year – the 35-0 loss to the Utes.

Led by soon-to-be all-everything LB Evan Weaver, the defensive front has been fantastic against the run all season long, and there should be just enough plays behind the line to keep USC from being comfortable.

Cal will bring a steady pass rush all game long, and expect next to nothing from a middling Trojan ground attack.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

USC isn’t the same team on the road. It’s been better lately – it got wins over Colorado and Arizona State – but both recent games have been battles.

It’s Cal’s final home game of the year – it goes down the road to face Stanford next week – and it needs one more win to get bowl eligible. The defense will crank up the intensity enough to keep it close, but the offense won’t be able to come through in the fourth quarter when it has its opportunities.

Florida-Missouri odds: Underdog Tigers look to stay perfect at home

Previewing Saturday’s Florida at Missouri college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Florida Gators (8-2, 5-2 SEC) travel to play the Missouri Tigers (5-4, 2-3) at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo., at noon ET Saturday.

We analyze the Florida-Missouri odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Florida at Missouri: Three things you need to know

1. Missouri quarterback Kelly Bryant missed last week’s 27-0 loss to Georgia with a hamstring injury, but is expected to return this week. Even with Bryant behind center, the Tigers had scored a total of just 21 points in the previous two games, losses to Vanderbilt and Kentucky.

2. Missouri is 5-0 straight up at home on the year, and 4-1 against the spread, but this will be by far their toughest test of the season in Columbia. Meanwhile, Florida is 2-1 on the road (SU and ATS), with their only misstep a 42-28 loss at LSU.

3. Both teams may have trouble moving the ball through the air. The Gators rank 25th out of 130 FBS teams with 288.5 passing yards per game, but Missouri ranks fourth in the category defensively (147.7). On the other side of the ball, the Tigers are 68th in passing yards per game (233.4), while the Florida defense ranks 23rd (191.9).

Florida at Missouri: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 11 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Florida 27, Missouri 14

Moneyline (ML)

Florida (-271) is likely to win this game, but the price is fairly steep — especially considering the Gators will be playing in colder weather than they are accustomed to.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Florida to win outright returns a profit of $3.69. A $10 wager on Missouri (+215) would net a profit of $21.50 if the Tigers win the game.

Against the Spread (ATS)

FLORIDA (-6.5, -129) looks like a pretty strong play, as the Gators are facing an offense that has really struggled in recent weeks, and Florida only needs to win by a touchdown to cover the spread.

While Missouri has been on the road every game during their current three-game skid, their success at home this season has come against lesser teams. The only team they have beaten this year that currently boasts a winning record is Southeast Missouri State.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 50.5 (-110) is the side to take in this one. Missouri’s first game of the season went over the total, but the under has hit once since. The Tigers’ implied total of 22 points is more than they have scored in the last three games combined.

All three of Florida’s road games this season have gone over the total, but the over has hit in just four of their 10 games overall. The Gators can put some points on the board, having scored 28 or more points in all but three games, but their defense should do enough to keep this game under 50.5 points.

UCLA (4-5) vs. Utah (8-1) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM


Why UCLA Will Win

Joshua Kelley is running as well as any back in the country over the last few weeks.

He has rushed for 100 yards or more in four of the last five games, and has all but carried the team for stretches in the last three outings with 466 yards and seven scores. Now he has to go against the devastating Utah defensive front that’s going to focus all attention on No. 27.

And that’s where Dorian Thompson-Robinson has to come through.

The sophomore doesn’t have to be Joe Burrow, but he’s coming off a brilliant day in the win over Colorado a few weeks ago – hitting 75% of his throws for 226 yards and two scores – to make it his third straight game with multiple touchdown passes.

The Utah defense might be brilliant, but it gave up 316 yards and four scores to Washington’s Jacob Eason two weeks ago, and has been hit for 200 yards or more through the air against five of the eight Power Five teams on the slate.

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Utah Will Win

The UCLA defense has been better over the second half of the season, but the secondary still isn’t making enough big things happen.

The interception against Colorado was the first one from the Bruins in the last five games – this group just doesn’t take the ball away enough. That works just fine with Utah’s Tyler Huntley, who just doesn’t give the ball away.

RB Zack Moss and the tough Utah running game might be the heart-and-soul of the attack, but Huntley has been brilliant at cranking up the explosive plays without screwing up.

He’s averaging close to 11 yards per pass, is hitting 74% of his throws, and has pitched just one interception on the season.

And then there’s Moss and what he does against UCLA.

He only got a few carries as a freshman, but he ripped through the Bruins for 153 yards and two scores in a 48-17 win as a sophomore, and he came up with a career-high 211-yard, three-score day in last year’s 41-10 win.

The Ute O should be balanced, and …

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Oh yeah, the Utah defense.

It might have had a few issues with Washington a few weeks ago, but it’s third in the nation overall, has the defensive front to stuff Kelley. This is national muscle-flexing time for a Utah team looking to make a big statement to the College Football Playoff committee.

UCLA can still go bowling with wins over USC and Cal, but this week it’s about to run into a team that’s just that good.

Oregon (8-1) vs. Arizona (4-5) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM


Why Arizona Will Win

Oregon’s defense suddenly looks very, very beatable.

It’s got the talent, and it has the athleticism, but after holding five straight teams to seven points or fewer – following the great overall defensive performance in the 27-21 loss to Auburn – there’s been a big problem.

The run defense has been okay – no one’s been able to get consistently generate any sort of a push up front – but the pass defense is getting hit hard.

That’s what happens when you play the better quarterbacks.

Jacob Eason hit 77% of his passes with big play after big play in Washington’s loss to the Ducks. Washington State went Washington State for over 400 yards and over eight yards per throw, and USC  two weeks ago went for three scores as the Kedon Slovis and his dangerous receiving corps were able to throw for 264 yards – the third-most UO allowed this year.

Arizona is splitting time between freshman Grant Gunnell and veteran Khalil Tate, and they’re combining to put up big plays for a passing game that’s averaging 300 yards per game.

The Wildcats have the offense to bomb away from the start, but …

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Oregon Will Win

The Oregon secondary is making up for the big yards it’s allowing with lots and lots and lots of interceptions.

Colorado was able to move the ball a bit and get in range to make things interesting in Eugene, but the Ducks came up with four picks in the 45-3 rout.

Yeah, Anthony Gordon and Washington State went off and almost pulled off the upset, but two interceptions – with one going for a score – ended up being an issue.

Last week against Slovis and those great Trojan receivers? Oregon picked off three passes with one going for a touchdown.

Interceptions haven’t been a massive issue for Arizona, but he’s had three multiple pick games. But that’s just one side of the ball. The other is having a nightmare of a time coming up with any meaningful stops.

Arizona has allowed over 400 yards of total offense in every game, and isn’t doing any one thing particularly right.

The Oregon offense can – and will – move the ball however it wants to.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

It’s been a wee bit of a grind at times over the last few weeks for Oregon, but it’s finding ways to win, and it’s about to crank up the offense.

The Wildcats have enough firepower to put up a few points, but the defense isn’t stopping anyone or anything. This isn’t normally a Duck offense that hangs big numbers on the board, but as long as it’s focused after two weeks off, it’ll score 50 getting off the bus.

Minnesota-Iowa odds: Hawkeyes favored in battle of ranked teams

Previewing Saturday’s Minnesota at Iowa college football matchup, with NCAA football betting odds, picks and best bets

The Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) travel to Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City to battle the Iowa Hawkeyes (6-3, 3-3) in a Saturday afternoon (4 p.m. ET) game with conference and playoff implications. The Golden Gophers head into the weekend ranked No. 7 in the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA Today Sports. Iowa is ranked 22nd.

We analyze the Minnesota-Iowa odds and betting lines, while providing college football betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Minnesota at Iowa: Three things you need to know

  1. Iowa has won four in a row and six of the last seven in this series. The Hawkeyes won last year’s meeting 48-31. The 2019 Iowa squad started out 4-0 but is just 2-3 since. But the three losses have been by a combined 14 points.
  2. Offensively, Iowa was at its best early in the season. Minnesota has been at its best since then. For the season, the Gophers have averaged 6.4 yards per play — and have eclipsed that mark in five of their last six games.
  3. Minnesota’s schedule ranks as the easiest of any team in the Power 5. The Gophers’ game control — especially of late — has been impressive. But Saturday’s game will be the team’s second straight against a tough, physical team … and only the second road game since Sept. 28 for Minnesota.

Minnesota at Iowa: Odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Iowa 24, Minnesota 21

Moneyline (ML)

Playing the IOWA -154 side here. Analytic indicators support the idea of more to come from a Hawkeye offense that has a talent advantage in the trenches. And defensively, Iowa’s stinginess has helped the team go 14-5 straight up over its last 19. And the Hawkeyes have been through more toe-to-toe moments and against more level competition. If it comes down to a field-goal exchange, the home side has the edge there, as well.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Iowa returns a profit of $6.49.

Against the Spread (ATS)

There’s a bit more value to leverage in the moneyline. So, a PASS on Iowa -2.5, -129.

Over/Under (O/U)

A lean on the under 44.5 but NO PLAY on the number. Saturday’s weather at Kinnick figures as chilly with maybe a 12-13 mph breeze.

The offense is expected to get its guy back with QB Jayden Daniels likely to go after missing the USC game. Now it needs its running back to go off.

Eno Benjamin hasn’t found a whole lot of room for a running game that’s hit the skids. A fantastic goal line runner, he hasn’t rushed for a touchdown in the last three games, and he’s had just 98 yards over the last two games after three straight 100-yard performances.

The Oregon State run defense can be hammered on – allowing 245 yards or more in three of the last five games – and controlling the tempo and the clock is a must. The Sun Devil defense has been getting worse as the season has gone on, and it needs Benjamin and company to keep the chains moving, and it has to come up with a few key takeaways on the road.

ASU is second in the Pac-12 in turnover margin – helped by 16 takeaways – and Oregon State doesn’t force mistakes. The Beavers need to get this into a little bit of a shootout, because …

Why Oregon State Will Win

The Arizona State secondary is having a few problems.

After starting the season allowing just seven points in each of the first three games – and surviving a few big passing days – the Sun Devils have been hit way too hard by the better quarterbacks on the slate.

They lost in a shootout to Steven Montez and Colorado – giving up 337 yards through the air – and were expectedly hit hard by Washington State. The 477 yards and four scores allowed last week to USC was a problem, and letting UCLA’s Doran Thompson-Robinson to to hit close to 70% of his passes wasn’t okay.

Luton had a rough day against Washington – throwing for 88 yards in the loss – but when he’s on and the deep ball is working, Oregon State wins.

The Beavers are 3-0 when Luton averages 11 yards or more per past, and 1-5 when he doesn’t. Arizona State is 0-4 – all four losses – when it has allowed eight yards or more per pass.

What’s Going To Happen

Oregon State has been been great on the road lately and awful at home. Playing Utah and Washington in Corvallis has been part of the reason.

The Beaver offense will generate just enough balance and downfield plays to keep the struggling ASU defense on its heels. Neither team does much to control the clock, and at home, the Beaver O will have just a bit more of a spark in what should be a fun game with a whole slew of wild mood swings.
