This is one of those occasions where your football eyes are not going to agree with this bet. Colorado looked fantastic last week, winning outright against TCU as a 20 point underdog. The Buffs offense looked explosive, and Shedeur Sanders looked like one of the best QBs in the nation. Colorado’s X factor Travis Hunter looked like one of the best wide receivers and one of the best cornerbacks in the nation. Overall, there was a lot to be excited about following Colorado’s week 1 win. On the other side of this matchup is Nebraska, who lost to Minnesota 13-10. Nebraska’s offense was brutal to watch. Their QB Jeff Simms threw 3 interceptions, and only passed for 114 yards. So when we say your “football eyes” will disagree with this bet, we simply mean that it’s hard to imagine (based on last week) that Nebraska will be able to keep pace with Colorado’s offense. The look ahead line on this game last week was Nebraska -8.5. Now the line sits at Nebraska +3.5. Whenever you see a lookahead line move this drastically, it’s important to ask yourself why the line moved. For example, did the line move because of a key injury, or the availability of a key player or players? If so, the line movement may be justified. In this case, it is not a key injury or any availability concerns. We believe this line move is more of an overreaction to one team playing extremely well, and the other team playing awful. I think we can all agree that Colorado is going to be better than anticipated, but this double digit line move is too extreme for us to pass up. It’s a tough bet to stomach, but our wager is one unit on Nebraska to cover the +3.5 spread.

Some will look at this game and see an SEC team taking on a team in the American Athletic Conference, and that will be enough to pull the trigger on Ole Miss. When you dive a little deeper, there is a lot to like about this Tulane team. Their QB Michael Pratt is a top tier QB in college football. Don’t forget that Pratt went toe to toe with Caleb Williams in Tulane’s bowl game against USC, and actually won the game. Not only did Tulane beat USC, but they also had an impressive win against a good Kansas State team last season as well. We will gladly take the 7 points with the home underdogs.

We like this as a buy low spot on Texas Tech. The Red Raiders were upset as 14 point betting favorites against Wyoming last week. Prior to that game, the look ahead line for this matchup was Oregon -3. Between Texas Tech being upset, and Oregon scoring 81 points, this line has moved to a point where we are going to jump in on the underdogs. Texas Tech QB Tyler Shough transferred from Oregon and is very familiar with the program. Shough will certainly be out for revenge on his old team. Our model suggests this spread should be closer to 4, so we will opt to take the +6.5 points with Texas Tech. Our wager is a half unit.

At this moment, BetRivers is the only book offering up a reasonable +7.5. While Alabama is a rightful favorite with this game being played in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama is always a tough out, but beating them in Tuscaloosa is a tall task. Bama went 7-0 at home last season, their only two losses came on the road at LSU, and on the road in Tennessee. These teams played last season and Alabama won with a final score of 20-19. Alabama has #1 overall pick in the NFL draft Bryce Young in that game, whereas Texas QB Quinn Ewers was injured early in the game. Despite the injury to Ewers, Texas played Alabama competitively. Both teams lost some key players from last season, but Texas returned more production than Alabama. We will take the +7.5 points with the road team.
