San Jose State does not deserve to be a favorite against a 3-1 team, regardless of who that 3-1 team has beaten. SJSU's defense is ranked 125th in EPA/pass allowed, something that New Mexico will be primed to exploit. Jack Layne's passer rating when kept clean is an impressive 126.4, leading to New Mexico's 32nd-ranked 0.24 EPA/pass attempt.

Defensively, New Mexico wins the battle as well. They defend very well on early downs, allowing -0.06 EPA/play. SJSU's offense has looked inept, and I do not see them getting right against a strong New Mexico team.

Bet: New Mexico Lobos +2.5 (-105)

BYU's defense is exceptionally strong, and they are meeting a West Virginia offense that is averaging 22 points per game, which is 101st in college football. West Virginia also has the 132nd-ranked pass offense, tallying -0.33 EPA/pass attempt. Their only path to success in this game is to run the ball, and even that appears that it will be futile against this BYU defense.

There is not quite as big of a mismatch for BYU's offense. However, WVU boasts the 25th-best defensive success rate. I think all WVU has to do is hold BYU to 28 points, and we are in the clear.

Bet: West Virginia Mountaineers @ BYU Cougars u47.5 (-110)

WAKE FOREST VS. VIRGINIA TECH BEST BET

Wake Forest gave Georgia Tech a game for a full 60 minutes. Although they came out as the losers, their net success rate was actually greater than Georgia Tech's. This signals that, down to down and explosive plays removed, Wake Forest was more efficient.

Wake's defense is the strongest unit on this team. Their defensive success rate comes in at 34.6%, which is 18th in the country. Virginia Tech's defense is not as strong, as they rank 109th in defensive success rate. Virginia Tech's offensive line is not particularly strong; their pass-block rating comes in at 121st in the country.

This Wake Forest team can make things tough for Virginia Tech.

Bet: Wake Forest Demon Deacons +6.5 (-105) + ML (+205)

UTSA VS. TEMPLE BEST BET

Both of these teams have played comparable schedules, and Temple has looked much better. Their defense is above average in EPA on both pass and rush attempts, while also being particularly efficient on late downs. Their 3rd-down and 4th-down success rate allowed is 36.7%, making them 26th for that statistic. Conversely, UTSA's late-down success rate on offense is poor (40.3%). That is 103rd in the nation.

When passing, Temple takes care of the ball. Their turnover-worthy play rate on pass plays is a minuscule 0.73%. Temple's defense and passing efficiency will not only keep them in this game but will be the reason they win.

Bet: Temple Owls +6.5 (-105) + ML (+195)

I think we can all agree that a 6-3 loss to San Diego State is hilarious, but I truly think this schedule NIU is opening with will look much stronger once the season is over. Mississippi State is already proving that they are better than what we were led to believe heading into the season, and Maryland is looking better than what most people expected.

NIU's offense is not strong, but Miami's has not looked great either. Both teams are in the bottom 1/6th in passing offense and rushing offense. This is going to be a defensive showdown, and I think Northern Illinois is better suited in a defensive slugfest.

Bet: Northern Illinois Huskies +5.5 (-105) + ML (+180)

Arch Manning has plummeted down the Heisman Trophy odds since the season started. Can this be the game he gets back on track? I do not think so.

DJ Lagway has been atrocious this season, and I am not the first to say it. However, Florida has had to endure a much stronger schedule in the last 4 weeks than Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns have. Surprisingly enough, both of these teams' offensive passing numbers are comparable, and that's given that Florida has faced USF, LSU, and Miami, while Texas has faced San Jose State, UTEP, and Sam Houston State.

Was this stretch of pseudo-scrimmages enough for Arch to get his feet under him and show us why he was the preseason Heisman favorite? I think we can make a serious argument that this Florida defense will be the toughest one Arch has faced yet (OSU fans, put your torches away), and if Arch looks anything like he did in Week 1, Florida can be in this game late.

Bet: Florida Gators +7 (-110)

Nothing gets me more excited than two top defenses facing off in a...Big 12 matchup? Houston's defensive success rate is 36.7%, which is 35th in the country. Texas Tech's defense improves on that number, with their defensive success rate coming in at 29.5% (5th).

Texas Tech also boasts the #1 rush defense and is the 5th-best defense in early-down EPA/play. Houston has struggled mightily on offense this season, with the 131st offensive success rate and the 127th rush offense.

It is going to be a struggle for Houston to get anything going offensively, but their defense is strong enough to neutralize Tech's offense.

Rice's defense is strong. They are great at forcing their opponents into long 3rd-down attempts. On average, Rice opponents have 7.98 yards to go on 3rd down, which is the 19th most in college football.

Rice loves to run the ball, as they have run the ball over 70% of the time. Although their rush attack is slightly stronger than their pass attack, neither is particularly strong. Rice's defense and their offensive approach is enough to keep the clock ticking and points off the board.

Fun fact: PFF has Minnesota's offense power-rated as the best offensive unit in college football. Drake Lindsey is currently the 7th-rated quarterback in college football, and Minnesota's offensive line is nothing to sneeze at. Surprisingly enough, Lindsey's passer rating is actually higher when he is under pressure than when he has a clean pocket.

Ohio State currently has the 67th-rated rush offense, tallying 0.03 EPA/rush attempt. Minnesota's defense will be able to allocate their resources to Jeremiah Smith and the pass game, and if OSU is forced to move the ball on the ground, this game will end up being closer than the 24-point spread indicates.

Bet: Minnesota Golden Gophers +24.5 (-120)
