Friday, October 16 games

Memphis at Tulane

Records: Memphis 5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS, 4-2 O/U; Tulane 2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS, 2-3 O/U.

Odds update: The reported total is 55.5, up from 54.0 in the original preview; Memphis remains a 6.5-point favorite. These are reported Thursday prices, not closing lines. [9]

2025 meeting: Tulane beat Memphis 38-32 as a 3.5-point underdog. The game went Over 53.5.

Last games: Memphis beat UAB 38-13 at home October 10 and covered -15.5. Marcus Stokes threw two touchdowns without an interception, allowing the Tigers to win comfortably without a high-volume passing game. Tulane lost 20-17 at Army October 10 but covered +5.5. Kadin Semonza finished 14-of-26 for 158 yards, one touchdown and one interception; Tulane needs more sustained offensive production after another close loss.

QB matchup: Marcus Stokes, Memphis: supplied season line 70.1%, 1,535 passing yards, 16 TD/3 INT, plus 188 rushing yards; latest 11-of-21, 164 yards, 2 TD/0 INT. Kadin Semonza, Tulane: 53.8%, 804 passing yards, 4 TD/2 INT; latest 14-of-26, 158 yards, 1 TD/1 INT. Semonza is the projected matchup, but Will Hall said the quarterback competition remains open; Trace Johnson is another option. That is a performance decision rather than a reported Semonza injury. [10]

Offense/Defense: Memphis offense: 247.0 rushing / 269.7 passing YPG, 38.5 PPG; defense: 176.7 rushing / 203.7 passing YPG, 20.8 PPG allowed. Tulane offense: 152.8 rushing / 180.6 passing YPG, 18.4 PPG; defense: 218.6 rushing / 188.6 passing YPG, 22.6 PPG allowed. Season figures retain the original preview snapshot.

Key injuries and availability: Memphis: no named injuries on the checked public matchup report. Tulane: Kam Hamilton (DL), day-to-day after leaving the Army game in the fourth quarter; Ed Smith IV (DL), day-to-day after missing Army; the coach did not disclose diagnoses. Zycarl Lewis Jr. (WR), questionable, leg; Maurice Turner (RB), questionable, undisclosed; Antwaun Parham (WR), questionable, undisclosed; J. McClure (RB), out, foot, without a return timetable.

Weather: Low 80s in New Orleans, wind around 6.5 mph and a 7% rain chance in the Thursday game forecast.

ATS and totals trends: Memphis: 4-0 ATS in its last four October games; 5-1 Under in its last six after a SU win. Tulane: 6-1 Under in its last seven home games; 6-0 Under in its last six after an ATS win; 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven at home; 0-7-1 ATS in its last eight after an ATS win. The series has gone Over in four of the last five meetings.

Matchup analysis: Memphis has the clearest statistical route through its running game against a Tulane defense allowing 218.6 rushing yards per game. Tulane must win enough first downs defensively to force longer passing situations and give its own offense manageable field position. Its 18.4 PPG average makes a sustained scoring exchange difficult.

Keys to win: Memphis must exploit the defensive front, protect the ball and convert red-zone possessions into touchdowns. Tulane must limit explosive runs, keep its quarterback out of obvious passing downs and finish its best drives with seven points.

Washington at Purdue

Records: Washington 3-3 SU, 1-5 ATS, 3-3 O/U; Purdue 3-3 SU, 3-3 ATS, 5-1 O/U.

2025 meeting: Washington beat Purdue 49-13 in Seattle, covering -14.5; the game went Over 50.5.

Last games: Washington lost 41-24 at home to Iowa October 9 and failed to cover -2.5. Elijah Brown supplied 251 passing yards and three touchdowns after Demond Williams Jr. was injured, but Washington could not erase its deficit. Purdue beat Minnesota 41-13 at home October 10 and covered +2.5. Running back Fame Ijeboi led the attack with 195 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries; Ryan Browne added 159 passing yards and a touchdown without an interception.

QB matchup: Projected Elijah Brown versus Ryan Browne. E. Brown: 71.4%, 276 yards, 4 TD/0 INT; he went 28-of-39 for 251 yards and 3 TD/0 INT against Iowa. Ryan Browne: 68.9%, 1,549 yards, 9 TD/1 INT; latest 14-of-24, 159 yards, 1 TD/0 INT. Brown’s productive relief appearance offers Washington a passing route, while Browne’s low interception total supports Purdue’s effort to avoid short fields.

Offense/Defense: Washington offense: 90.3 rushing / 279.5 passing YPG, 26.2 PPG; defense: 136.7 rushing / 193.7 passing YPG, 22.2 PPG allowed. Purdue offense: 160.2 rushing / 338.4 passing YPG, 38.6 PPG; defense: 189.0 rushing / 291.8 passing YPG, 37.6 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Washington: Demond Williams Jr. (QB), questionable, ribs; Jedd Fisch said he would be surprised if Williams were cleared, with Brown taking first-team reps. Xe’ree Alexander (LB), doubtful. Kai McClendon (DL), Jacob Lane (DE), Jeron Jones (CB), Jack Shaffer (OL) and Justin Hylkema (OL), questionable; diagnoses were not supplied in the availability report. Christian Moss (WR), Jordan Washington (RB), Jayden Limar (RB), Quaid Carr (RB) and C.J. Christian (S), out. Separate listings identify Limar’s upper-body injury and Christian’s Achilles injury. Purdue: Mister Clark (DB) and Joey Tanona (OT), out; Kylan Fox (TE) and Raderrion Daniels (DB), out for the season with knee injuries.

Weather: The updated hourly forecast calls for about 51°F with possible showers near kickoff, cooling toward 49-50°F late.

ATS and totals trends: Washington: 4-1 ATS in its last five after a SU loss. Purdue: 5-0 Over in its last five home games; 7-1 Over in its last eight overall; 4-1 Under in its last five October games; 1-7 ATS in its last eight Friday games; 1-5 ATS in its last six overall. These retain the original trend snapshot.

Matchup analysis: Purdue can test Washington’s injured defensive front with Ijeboi and use that threat to simplify Browne’s reads. The decisive question is whether Purdue can pressure Brown without exposing its secondary. A repeat of Brown’s productive second half would make more than a field goal valuable to Washington; sustained Purdue rushing success would reduce Washington’s possessions and make the road comeback harder.

Keys to win: Washington must protect Brown, manufacture efficient early-down gains and tackle well enough to avoid a repeat of Purdue’s rushing breakout. Purdue must establish Ijeboi, prevent explosive completions and preserve Browne’s ball security.

App State at Coastal Carolina

Records: App State 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U; Coastal Carolina 2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS, 3-3 O/U.

2025 meeting: Coastal Carolina won 45-37 at App State as a 10.5-point underdog. The game went Over 48.5.

Last games: App State lost 10-3 at home to Old Dominion October 10 and did not cover -8.5. Malachi Singleton finished 5-of-23 for 72 yards and an interception before an ankle injury complicated the quarterback outlook; Henry Hasselbeck went 2-of-4 for minus-six yards and an interception. Coastal won 27-21 at Marshall October 10 and covered +4.5. Deuce Bailey threw for only 73 yards, but Dominic Lee-Knicely carried 25 times for 169 yards and a touchdown, adding 42 receiving yards.

QB matchup: Malachi Singleton or Henry Hasselbeck versus Deuce Bailey. Singleton’s supplied season line: 65.2%, 1,278 passing yards, 7 TD/2 INT. Bailey: 53.8%, 1,340 yards, 13 TD/3 INT, plus 192 rushing yards; latest 8-of-18, 73 yards, 1 TD/1 INT. Hasselbeck’s four attempts against Old Dominion provide very little basis for projecting a full start. Singleton’s availability and mobility are separate questions even if he dresses.

Offense/Defense: App State offense: 134.2 rushing / 268.6 passing YPG, 28.4 PPG; defense: 137.6 rushing / 197.8 passing YPG, 19.8 PPG allowed. Coastal Carolina offense: 149.0 rushing / 224.3 passing YPG, 25.2 PPG; defense: 189.7 rushing / 213.7 passing YPG, 24.3 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: App State: Malachi Singleton (QB), ankle; Hasselbeck is the expected replacement if needed. Treyaun Webb (RB), out, undisclosed; Alexander Sanchez (WR), Chris Lofton (WR) and Dillon Galloway (TE), questionable, undisclosed. Coastal: Colton Hinton (WR), Goldie Lawrence (WR) and Zach Courtney (TE), questionable, undisclosed.

Weather: The updated Conway hourly forecast calls for mostly clear skies around 76°F at kickoff, easing toward 72°F late. The original stadium forecast had light wind near 6.5 mph, gusts around 14 mph and a 4% rain chance.

ATS and totals trends: The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five series meetings. App State: 1-5 ATS in its last six conference games; 6-1 Under in its last seven after a SU loss; 6-1 Over in its last seven conference games. Coastal: 5-1 Over in its last six home games; 4-1 ATS in its last five October games. These retain the supplied trend snapshot. App State’s opposing totals trends describe different situations, so quarterback availability is more actionable than either trend alone.

Matchup analysis: App State’s defense has the stronger supplied scoring profile, allowing 19.8 PPG, but the offense must recover from a three-point performance. Coastal’s 189.7 rushing yards allowed per game gives the Mountaineers a route to protect Hasselbeck or a limited Singleton with a run-led plan. Coastal will try to reproduce its Marshall formula through Lee-Knicely rather than ask Bailey to win entirely through the air. If App State forces longer passing downs, its defensive advantage becomes more useful.

Saturday College Football Betting Previews

Georgia State at James Madison

12:00 PM ET | ESPNU | James Madison -12.5 | Total 58.0

Records: Georgia State: 4-1 SU, 5-0 ATS, 3-2 O/U; James Madison: 6-0 SU, 5-1 ATS, 3-3 O/U.

2025 meeting: James Madison beat Georgia State 14 – 7 (GSU 20.5, total 52.5).

Last games: Georgia State beat Old Dominion 42 – 10 (home, Oct 03, 2026); covered -1.5; James Madison beat Georgia Southern 27 – 24 (away, Oct 10, 2026); did not cover -7.5.

Offense/Defense: Georgia State: offense 209.6 rushing / 259.0 passing YPG, 39.4 PPG; defense 127.0 rushing /174.0 passing YPG, 19.0 PPG allowed. James Madison: offense 219.3 rushing / 232.7 passing YPG, 41.8 PPG; defense 102.0 rushing / 245.0 passing YPG, 15.0 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Georgia State: none listed. James Madison: Z. Collins (WR): Questionable – Undisclosed.

Weather: 50.0°F, sunny, wind 11.4 mph, gusts 18.6 mph, rain chance 1%.

Matchup analysis: JMU’s 219.3 rushing yards per game run into a Georgia State front allowing 127.0, making early-down efficiency the first test. Georgia State has a more inviting passing route against a defense allowing 245.0 passing yards per game. If the Panthers protect well and finish drives with touchdowns, they can make the favorite defend the full field.

Florida Atlantic at Army
12:00 PM ET | CBSSN | Army -2.5 |
Total 56.0
Records: FAU 4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 4-1 O/U; ARMY 3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U.

Ball State at Bowling Green

12:00 PM ET | ESPN+ | Bowling Green -6.5 | Total 45.0

Records: BST 1-5 SU, 3-3 ATS, 5-1 O/U; BG 2-4 SU, 3-3 ATS, 4-2 O/U.

Last games: Ball State lost to Northwestern 45-14 (away, Oct 10); covered 34.5; Bowling Green beat Sacramento State 38 – 10 (home, Oct 10); covered -9.5.

QBs: Keldric Luster: 64.4%, 871 yd, 6/4 TD/INT; last 27/41, 209 yd, 1/1 TD/INT; Jay Kastantin: 65.7%, 986 yd, 5/3 TD/INT; last 11/15, 116 yd, 1/1 TD/INT.

Offense/Defense: Ball State: Offense 117.8 rush/190.2 pass YPG, 18.3 PPG; Defense 218.8 rush/248.5 pass YPG, 39.0 PPG allowed; Bowling Green: Offense 107.3 rush/167.7 pass YPG, 15.8 PPG; Defense 204.5 rush/175.2 pass YPG, 29.2 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Ball State: C. Breveard (RB): Questionable – Undisclosed; J. Bonds (RB): Questionable – Undisclosed; I. Thacker (WR): Out – Undisclosed. Bowling Green: I. Dawson (WR): Out – Undisclosed; K. Baldwin (RB):Questionable – Undisclosed; A. Clay (WR): Out – Undisclosed.

Weather: 41.5°F, sunny, W 12.5 mph, G 16.8 mph, rain 1%.

Trends: Ball State is: 1)Road team is 5-0 ATS over last 5 matchups. 2)9-2 ATS last 11 after a SU loss. 3)1-5 ATS last 6 after an ATS win. 4)1-4 ATS last 5 road. 5)7-1 Over last 8 overall. BG is: 1)6-1 Over last 7 after a SU win of >20 points.

Matchup analysis: Neither offense has been consistently productive, but both defenses offer a possible rushing opening: Ball State allows 218.8 rushing yards per game and Bowling Green allows 204.5. The Falcons should test that weakness before asking their passing game to carry the matchup. Ball State’s route to an upset is to sustain possessions, protect the ball and make Bowling Green earn points over long fields. The key totals question is whether vulnerable run defenses outweigh the offenses’ low scoring averages.

Northwestern at Michigan State

12:00 PM ET | Peacock | Northwestern -7.5 | Total 48.5

Records: NW 4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 4-1 O/U; MSU 2-4 SU, 4-2 ATS, 2-4 O/U.

Last games: Northwestern beat Ball State 45 – 14 (home, Oct 10); did not cover -34.5; Michigan State lost to Illinois 37 – 38 (home, Oct 10); covered 2.5.

QBs: Aidan Chiles: 71.4%, 1,172 yd, 9/0 TD/INT; last 17/23, 272 yd, 3/0 TD/INT; Alessio Milivojevic: 65.8%, 1,047 yd, 5/3 TD/INT; last 22/26, 196 yd, 2/0 TD/INT.

Offense/Defense: Northwestern: Offense 203.0 rush/234.4 pass YPG, 35.4 PPG; Defense 147.2 rush/233.4 pass YPG, 16.2 PPG allowed; Michigan State: Offense 124.2 rush/187.5 pass YPG, 21.3 PPG; Defense 141.8 rush/197.8 pass YPG, 25.7 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Northwestern: B. Turner (CB): Questionable – Undisclosed; J. Fussell (CB): Out – Undisclosed; C. Farrell (WR): Questionable – Undisclosed. Michigan State: C. Fancher (QB): Questionable – Knee; C. Edwards (RB): Questionable – Knee; C. Wheatland (LB): Questionable – Undisclosed.

Weather: 40.8°F, sunny, W 11.4 mph, G 17.7 mph, rain 1%.

Trends: NW is: 1)8-1-2 ATS last 11 after a SU win. 2)5-0 Over last 5 overall. 3)8-1-2 ATS last 11 after a SU win. MSU is: 1)6-17 ATS last 23 home.

Matchup analysis: Northwestern brings the stronger scoring profile, averaging 35.4 points and allowing 16.2, but Michigan State’s 141.8 rushing yards allowed per game make this more than a simple offensive comparison. The Spartans need to limit Northwestern’s 203.0-yard rushing attack, force longer passing downs and finish their own possessions.

Ohio State at Indiana

12:00 PM ET | FOX | Ohio State -3.5 | Total 50.5

Records: OSU 5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS, 4-2 O/U; IND 6-0 SU, 1-5 ATS, 3-3 O/U.

2025 meeting: Indiana beat Ohio State 13 – 10 (IU 3.5, total 45.5).

Last games: Ohio State beat Maryland 45 – 16 (home, Oct 10); did not cover -31.5; Indiana beat Nebraska 20 – 17 (away, Oct 10); did not cover -8.5.

QBs: Julian Sayin: 71.2%, 1,772 yd, 17/2 TD/INT; last 13/21, 242 yd, 4/1 TD/INT; Josh Hoover: 68.2%, 1,364 yd, 17/0 TD/INT; last 12/22, 263 yd, 2/0 TD/INT.

Offense/Defense: Ohio State: Offense 165.7 rush/337.8 pass YPG, 42.7 PPG; Defense 96.2 rush/150.7 pass YPG, 13.2 PPG allowed; Indiana: Offense 221.3 rush/241.3 pass YPG, 40.2 PPG; Defense 75.0 rush/188.3 pass YPG, 11.8 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Ohio State: L. Bey (RB): Questionable – Undisclosed; A. Valerio-Hudson (WR): Questionable – Undisclosed; T. Rogers (RB): Questionable – Undisclosed. Indiana: none listed.

Weather: 48.7°F, sunny, W 10.7 mph, G 15.7 mph, rain 1%.

Trends: OSU is: 1)9-1 ATS last 10 road. 2)7-0 Under last 7 road. Ind is: 1)0-5 ATS last 5 home. 2)1-6 ATS last 7 overall.

Matchup analysis: This is a strength-on-strength matchup. Ohio State’s 337.8 passing yards per game meet an Indiana defense allowing 188.3 through the air and just 75.0 on the ground. Indiana should make Sayin earn sustained drives rather than surrender explosive throws. Going the other way, the Hoosiers’ 221.3-yard rushing attack must prevent Ohio State’s defense from dictating obvious passing situations.

Virginia at SMU

12:00 PM ET | CW | SMU -8.5 | Total 52.0

Records: UVA 4-2 SU, 3-3 ATS, 3-3 O/U; SMU 4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS, 2-3 O/U.

Last games: Virginia beat Syracuse 28 – 25 (home, Oct 10); did not cover -14.5; SMU beat Boston College 25 – 16 (home, Oct 03); did not cover -21.5.

QBs: Beau Pribula: 66.4%, 1,080 yd, 13/1 TD/INT; last 11/19, 119 yd, 1/0 TD/INT; Kevin Jennings: 75.0%, 1,588 yd, 14/5 TD/INT; last 20/30, 160 yd, 2/0 TD/INT.

Offense/Defense: Virginia: Offense 162.8 rush/217.5 pass YPG, 32.8 PPG; Defense 151.8 rush/161.8 pass YPG, 19.2 PPG allowed; SMU: Offense 138.2 rush/341.0 pass YPG, 34.6 PPG; Defense 141.6 rush/170.4 pass YPG, 23.0 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Virginia: R. Flores Jr. (WR): Questionable – Undisclosed; P. Lewis (RB): Questionable – Undisclosed; T. Ward (WR): Questionable – Undisclosed. SMU: Y. Knight (WR): Questionable – Undisclosed; Y. Smith (WR): Questionable – Undisclosed;

Weather: 59.7°F, overcast, W 8.7 mph, G 11.2 mph, rain 4%.

Trends: UVA is: 1)0-4 ATS last 4 in October. 2)4-1 ATS last 5 after an ATS loss. 3)9-1 Under last 10 conference. 4)6-0 Under last 6 road. SMU is: 1)7-1 Under last 8 home. 2)10-1 Under last 11 after an ATS loss. 3)3-7 ATS last 10 after an ATS loss.

Matchup analysis: SMU’s 341.0 passing yards per game face a Virginia defense allowing only 161.8. Jennings needs efficient early completions to prevent the Cavaliers from controlling the terms of the game. Virginia’s best response is a balanced attack that extends drives and limits SMU’s possessions. Pribula’s supplied 13-to-1 touchdown/interception ratio supports that approach if his protection holds.

Pittsburgh at Boston College

12:00 PM ET | ESPN2 | Pittsburgh -6.5 | Total 44.0

Records: PITT 5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS, 2-4 O/U; BC 2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS, 0-5 O/U.

2025 meeting: Pittsburgh beat Boston College 48 – 7 (PITT -6.5, total 54.5).

Last games: Pittsburgh lost to North Carolina 17 – 21 (home, Oct 10); did not cover -3.5; Boston College lost to SMU 16 – 25 (away, Oct 03); covered 21.5.

QBs: Holden Geriner: 65.7%, 438 yd, 2/2 TD/INT; last 27/44, 219 yd, 0/2 TD/INT; Mason McKenzie: 58.3%, 967 yd, 5/5 TD/INT; 437 rush yd, 3 rush TD; last 20/31, 208 yd, 2/0 TD/INT. Geriner replaces Heintschel, whose torn ACL is season-ending.

Offense/Defense: Pittsburgh: Offense 160.0 rush/299.8 pass YPG, 34.8 PPG; Defense 49.7 rush/241.3 pass YPG, 14.7 PPG allowed; Boston College: Offense 153.0 rush/193.4 pass YPG, 19.0 PPG; Defense 151.6 rush/164.6 pass YPG, 23.4 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Pittsburgh: M. Heintschel (QB): Out for season – torn ACL (team confirmed); M. Knight (WR): Out -Undisclosed; M. Hunt (TE): Questionable – Undisclosed. Boston College: B. MacCormack III (RB): Out – Shoulder; B. Clough (TE): Out – Undisclosed.

Injury impact: Heintschel’s season-ending ACL injury is the central personnel issue. Knight’s absence and Hunt’s questionable tag further affect Pitt’s available targets. BC’s listed losses at running back and tight end can reduce both protection flexibility and its options against Pitt’s front.

Weather: 48.4°F, patchy rain nearby, W 15.2 mph, G 27.3 mph, rain 10%.

Trends: Home team is 4-0 ATS over last 4 matchups. Pitt is: 1)2-5 ATS last 7 after a SU loss. 2)4-1 Under last 5 overall. BC is: 1)4-0 ATS last 4 conference. 2)4-0 ATS last 4 after a SU loss. 3)6-0 Under last 6 overall.

Matchup analysis: Pitt’s defense allows just 49.7 rushing yards per game, putting pressure on Boston College to create offense through McKenzie’s legs, designed movement and timely passes. Pitt should make BC drive the field without conceding scramble plays. The Panthers’ own offense is a separate concern after the quarterback change: Geriner’s latest two-interception outing means a 299.8-yard team passing average cannot be assumed to describe the current unit. BC needs takeaways and short fields; Pitt needs a manageable game for its replacement quarterback.

Cincinnati at West Virginia

12:00 PM ET | TNT | West Virginia -2.5 | Total 63.5

Records: CIN 4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS, 3-2 O/U; WV 3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS, 6-0 O/U.

Last games: Cincinnati lost to Arizona 34-7 (away, Oct 03); did not cover 6.5; West Virginia lost to Arizona 52-31 (home, Oct 10); did not cover 3.5.

QBs: JC French IV: 69.9%, 949 yd, 6/0 TD/INT; 193 rush yd, 5 rush TD; last 16/29, 153 yd, 0/0 TD/INT; Michael Hawkins Jr.: 52.3%, 1,055 yd, 7/1 TD/INT; 672 rush yd, 12 rush TD; last 11/28, 219 yd, 0/0 TD/INT.

Offense/Defense: Cincinnati: Offense 230.8 rush/196.8 pass YPG, 33.8 PPG; Defense 141.6 rush/260.0 pass YPG, 23.2 PPG allowed; West Virginia: Offense 295.5 rush/184.8 pass YPG, 36.3 PPG; Defense 163.8 rush/297.0 pass YPG, 32.7 PPG allowed.

Key injuries and availability: Cincinnati: G. Kontosis (WR): Probable – Undisclosed; D. Witherspoon (TE): Questionable – Undisclosed. West Virginia: A. Devine (RB): Out – Undisclosed; M. Boswell (RB): Out – Undisclosed; J. Neider (WR): Out – Undisclosed.

Weather: 44.8°F, sunny, W 13.9 mph, G 22.8 mph, rain 5%.

Trends: Cincinnati: 1)3-7 ATS over latest 10 listed. 2)5-1 Over last 6 road. 3)1-5 ATS last 6 conference. West Va: 1)5-0 Over last 5 overall. 2)6-1 Over last 7 in October.

Matchup analysis: The rushing matchup will shape the game, with Cincinnati averaging 230.8 yards on the ground and West Virginia 295.5. Cincinnati can also attack a Mountaineer defense allowing 297.0 passing yards per game, provided French does not force throws after his team’s recent loss. West Virginia needs Hawkins’ running threat to create favorable numbers and keep Cincinnati from keying on conventional handoffs.

Matchup analysis: Both teams average more than 214 rushing yards per game, but Kansas State’s defense allows just 133.4 passing yards per game. Kansas needs early-down rushing success to avoid repeatedly testing that coverage on predictable third downs.

Mississippi State at LSU

12:00 PM ET | ESPN | LSU -12.5 | Total 59.0

Records: MST 4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 3-2 O/U; LSU 4-2 SU, 2-4 ATS, 4-2 O/U.

Last games: Mississippi State lost to Alabama 23 – 56 (home, Oct 03); did not cover 5.5; LSU lost to Kentucky 34 – 35 (away, Oct 10); did not cover -9.5.

Trends: MST is 1)4-1 ATS over last 5. 2)9-2 ATS last 11 road. LSU is: 1)4-0 Over last 4 in October. 2)5-1 Under last 6 conference. 3)0-4 ATS last 4 in October. 4)2-8 ATS last 10 after a SU loss.

Matchup analysis: Mississippi State’s 309.2 passing yards per game give it an avenue to compete, but LSU’s defense allows just 74.5 rushing yards per game. If the Bulldogs become one-dimensional, Taylor will face a harder protection and decision-making test. LSU can attack Mississippi State’s 260.0 passing yards allowed while using its own 213.8-yard rushing average to stay balanced. Leavitt’s supplied eight interceptions are the underdog’s most obvious opening: takeaways and short fields could keep a strong LSU offense from controlling the scoreboard.

Matchup analysis: Rutgers’ defense has allowed 249.0 rushing yards and 40.3 points per game, giving Maryland a clear reason to establish the run even with a modest rushing average of its own. Rutgers can answer through a passing offense averaging 326.0 yards, but its current quarterback configuration matters more than the team average. Maryland needs efficient quarterback play after Washington’s latest low-output game.

Charlotte at Temple

Matchup analysis: UMass’ defense, allowing 18.2 points per game, is the strongest unit in this matchup on the supplied numbers. Buffalo needs its rushing attack to keep Wright out of repeated long-yardage passing situations. UMass can challenge a Buffalo defense allowing 239.5 passing yards per game.

Western Michigan at Central Michigan

Matchup analysis: Central Michigan averages only 96.3 passing yards per game, making its 188.7-yard rushing attack the obvious focal point for Western Michigan’s defense. The Broncos should crowd early-down rushing lanes without allowing play-action throws behind them. Western Michigan’s more balanced offense can attack a CMU defense allowing 177.7 rushing yards per game.

North Carolina at Duke

3:30 PM ET | ESPN2 | Duke -3.5 | Total 47.5

Records: UNC 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U; DUKE 4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS, 3-2 O/U.

Matchup analysis: Duke’s 226.6 rushing yards per game contrast sharply with North Carolina’s 112.4, and the Blue Devils allow only 84.0 rushing yards per game. North Carolina therefore needs an efficient passing plan to stay ahead of the chains and avoid handing Duke repeated short possessions.

Matchup analysis: Texas Tech’s defense allows 91.4 rushing yards per game, so Arizona State may need to attack the more vulnerable pass defense, which allows 262.2. est Arizona State’s 27.8 points allowed per game.

UNLV at Air Force

Matchup analysis: Air Force’s 325.6 rushing yards per game make assignment discipline the central issue for UNLV. The Rebels need to win early downs and force the Falcons into passing situations without allowing quarterback keepers or perimeter runs to turn into explosives. Air Force’s defense gives up only 17.4 points per game, so UNLV must protect scoring opportunities.

Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech

Matchup analysis: Utah’s offense averages 297.5 rushing and 330.0 passing yards per game, giving Colorado no obvious phase to concede safely. Colorado can test a Utah defense allowing 257.8 passing yards, but protection and ball security are crucial.

Fresno State at San Diego State

10:30 PM ET | CBSSN | Fresno State -7.5 | Total 45.0

Records: FRE 4-2 SU, 5-1 ATS, 3-3 O/U; SDST 2-4 SU, 1-5 ATS, 4-2 O/U.

Last games: Fresno State lost to Boise State 31 – 38 (home, Oct 10); covered 9.5; San Diego State lost to Oregon State 14 – 66 (away, Oct 10); did not cover 15.5.

QBs: Jayden Mandal: 64.7%, 1,252 yd, 8/1 TD/INT; 135 rush yd, 2 rush TD; last 19/33, 218 yd, 2/0 TD/INT; Jayden Denegal: 53.9%, 787 yd, 6/5 TD/INT; last 5/19, 78 yd, 1/0 TD/INT.

Matchup analysis: Fresno State’s passing game has an inviting target against a San Diego State defense allowing 299.2 passing yards per game. Mandal needs to turn that opening into efficient scoring without giving the Aztecs short fields. San Diego State’s offense averages only 143.7 passing yards, so its best response is a productive ground game and improved third-down execution.

10:30 PM ET | ESPN2 | Wake Forest -9.5 | Total 53.5

Records: NM 4-1 SU, 5-0 ATS, 3-2 O/U; HAW 1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS, 1-5 O/U.

Matchup analysis: New Mexico’s 208.8 rushing yards per game meet a Hawai’i defense allowing 204.4, providing the visitor with a direct way to control tempo. Hawai’i needs its 325.2-yard passing attack to create enough offense against a New Mexico defense allowing only 10.6 points per game.

Nebraska at Oregon

11:00 PM ET | FOX | Oregon -7.5 | Total 52.5

Records: NEB 5-1 SU, 5-1 ATS, 3-3 O/U; ORE 3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS, 4-1 O/U.

Weather: about 58°F, partly cloudy, W near 3 mph and a 7% rain chance

Trends: Cornhuskers are: 1)5-1 ATS over last 6. 2)5-0 Over last 5 after a SU loss. Ore is: 1)5-1 Over last 6 home. 2)5-1 Over last 6 overall. 3)5-1 Under last 6 overall.

Matchup analysis: Nebraska’s 213.8-yard rushing attack offers a way to limit Oregon’s possessions and test a defense allowing 118.4 rushing yards per game. Oregon’s ability to answer depends heavily on the quarterback plan with Moore reported out..

NFL — SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AT DENVER BRONCOS
8:15 PM ET | Prime Video | Empower Field at Mile High
Seattle -2½ | Total 40½

Records: Seattle 3–2 SU, 2–3 ATS, 3–2 O/U; Denver 3–2 SU, 3–2 ATS, 1–4 O/U.

Last-game recaps

Seattle: Lost at home to San Francisco 32-29. Four turnovers gave away scoring opportunities and helped the 49ers generate 21 points off takeaways. Sam Darnold also absorbed five sacks. Jaxon Smith-Njigba produced 102 receiving yards and a touchdown, but Seattle’s protection and ball security undermined its offensive production.

Denver: Won 23–17 at the Chargers despite limited passing production. Bo Nix finished with 123 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Defensive takeaways helped

Quarterback matchup

	Season passing yards	TD–INT	Passer rating	Last game
Sam Darnold, Seattle	755	7–5	90.31	18/29, 195 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT
Bo Nix, Denver	942	6–3	80.84	16/27, 123 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT

Offense versus defense

	Seattle offense	Denver defense allows	Denver offense	Seattle defense allows
Total yards	328.0	347.4	269.0	251.2
Rushing yards	106.0	145.2	86.2	100.4
Passing yards	222.0	202.2	182.8	150.8
Points	26.8	22.2	19.4	21.0

Seattle ranks first in total and passing yards allowed in the cited preview, while Denver ranks 30th in total offense.

Seattle with the ball: Denver’s secondary absences create opportunities for Smith-Njigba and the supporting receivers. Seattle should also have reason to stay patient with the run against a defense allowing 145.2 rushing yards per game. Can Denver pressure Darnold without committing extra rushers and exposing its replacement defensive backs?

Denver with the ball: Long, methodical drives look difficult against Seattle’s defensive profile. Denver needs to avoid negative plays, use quick throws and generate favorable field position. Seattle’s missing starting linebacker gives Denver a matchup to test with its backs and underneath routes, although that alone does not erase the broader statistical disadvantage.

Final injury updates

Seattle:

RB Zach Charbonnet — out, knee/ACL rehabilitation. His absence limits backfield depth and leaves more responsibility with the available runners.
LB Drake Thomas — out, ankle. Tyrice Knight will replace him alongside Ernest Jones IV.
LB Chazz Surratt — out, calf. Primarily a depth and special-teams loss.

Denver:

CB Patrick Surtain II — out, ankle. A major loss against Seattle’s receiving corps.
S Talanoa Hufanga — out, ankle. Further weakens coverage flexibility and run support.
CB Riley Moss — questionable, ribs. Limited throughout the week; his availability is the major remaining defensive personnel question.

Weather: Updated reporting points to temperatures falling through the 40s, with one forecast near 52°F at kickoff and northeast winds around 10 mph.

Key Trends: Sea is: 1)2-6 ATS last 8 Thursday games. 2)6-1 ATS last 7 after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Den is: 1)1-6 ATS last 7 Thursday games. 2)1-4 ATS last 5 in Week 6. 3)5-1 Under last 6 overall. 4)8-2 Under last 10 in Week 6.

Prop Bets:

First TD Scorer

Jaxon Smith-Njigba +550

Anytime TD Scorer

Jaylen Waddle +240

Emmanuel Wilson +120

Courtland Sutton +265

ATS: NFL Betting Preview for Monday, Oct. 12

Posted on October 12, 2026October 12, 2026 by Mat Daily

Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams — Monday Night Betting Preview
Monday, October 12, 2026 | 8:15 p.m. ET | ESPN/ABC | SoFi Stadium

Buffalo LA Rams

Current spread	+3½	−3½
Moneyline	+148	−177
Total	Over 54½	Under 54½
Straight-up record	3–1	2–2
ATS record	3–1	2–2
Over/Under record	3–1	2–2

The Rams enter this matchup with the stronger defensive numbers, while Buffalo brings the more efficient quarterback through four games. The biggest betting variables are D.J. Moore’s availability, Buffalo’s depleted defensive front, and whether Matthew Stafford can reduce his turnovers. Kickoff is Monday night in Los Angeles.

Quarterback matchup

2026 regular-season statistics through four games.

Statistic	Josh Allen — Bills	Matthew Stafford — Rams
Completions/attempts	79/119	99/162
Completion percentage	66.4%	61.1%
Passing yards	1,039	1,189
Passing yards per game	259.8	297.3
Yards per attempt	8.7	7.3
Passing TDs	6	6
Interceptions	3	6
Passer rating	100.1	80.5
Sacks taken	9	6
Rushing yards	118	21
Rushing TDs	7	0

Allen: His 8.7 yards per attempt and seven rushing touchdowns illustrate the two problems he creates: explosive passing and goal-line running. His ability to escape pressure also gives Buffalo a way to sustain possessions when receivers are covered. With Palmer out and Moore questionable, Buffalo may need more production from its tight ends, James Cook and Allen’s legs.

Stafford: He has produced more passing yardage, but six interceptions have undermined that production. He threw four interceptions over his last two games. Against Buffalo, protecting possessions is especially important because an Allen-led offense can turn a short field into a touchdown quickly. Puka Nacua’s return gives Stafford another dependable target alongside Davante Adams.

Last game: Patriots 29, Bills 26 — October 4

Buffalo suffered its first loss after winning its opening three games. Allen completed 23 of 33 passes for 253 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and added a rushing touchdown. Cook ran 12 times for 75 yards and a touchdown, while Keon Coleman caught six passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. Buffalo led 17–14 at halftime but could not finish the game.

The more concerning development was the defense: New England gained 405 yards and scored touchdowns on all three red-zone opportunities. Buffalo’s offensive production remained competitive, but its defense allowed the Patriots to dictate too much of the game. That is a difficult formula against Stafford, Nacua and Adams.

Last game: Rams 24, Eagles 20 — October 4

Los Angeles rallied behind two late Kyren Williams touchdown runs. His four-yard score cut the deficit to 20–17 with 3:59 remaining; his seven-yard touchdown put the Rams ahead with 1:10 left. Byron Young then recorded two sacks on Philadelphia’s final possession to secure the victory. Williams finished with 80 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns and 10 catches for 67 yards.

Stafford went 32 of 51 for 317 yards, no passing touchdowns and two interceptions. The Rams nevertheless outgained Philadelphia 415–172. That distinction matters for handicapping: Los Angeles controlled the yardage battle far more decisively than its four-point winning margin suggests, but turnovers kept the game close.

Offense versus defense

	Bills	Rams
Points scored per game	31.8	21.3
Total offense, yards/game	386.3	417.0
Net passing offense, yards/game	247.3	290.3
Rushing offense, yards/game	139.0	126.8
Points allowed per game	26.8	20.8
Total defense, yards allowed/game	372.3	247.5
Sacks recorded	10	7

These figures show Buffalo’s scoring advantage and Los Angeles’ advantage in yardage production and prevention.

Rams offense against Buffalo defense: This is Los Angeles’ clearest matchup opportunity. Buffalo’s secondary must cover Nacua and Adams while accounting for Williams underneath. Ed Oliver’s absence removes an important interior defender, potentially helping both the Rams’ running game and Stafford’s pocket protection.

Both teams have run efficiently: Buffalo averages 5.1 yards per carry, and Los Angeles 4.8. If Williams consistently gains useful yardage on early downs, Sean McVay can use play-action and keep Stafford out of obvious passing situations.

Bills offense against Los Angeles defense: Cook and Allen’s running threat can force the Rams to devote extra defenders to the box. That creates opportunities for Buffalo’s passing game, but the receiver injuries could limit its ability to exploit them.

Los Angeles allows just 145.5 passing yards per game, although that number needs context: the Rams faced a Giants team that lost its starting quarterback and an Eagles offense that struggled badly. Allen presents a substantially different challenge because he can create outside the structure of the play

Key injuries

Buffalo’s final report lists two players out and three questionable

Bills player	Injury/status	Likely matchup impact
Ed Oliver, DL	Knee — OUT	Reduces interior pressure and run-defense strength.
Joshua Palmer, WR	Shoulder — OUT	Removes a receiving option and thins the rotation.
D.J. Moore, WR	Shoulder — QUESTIONABLE	Most significant offensive availability decision; his absence would narrow Allen’s options.
Dee Alford, CB	Ankle — QUESTIONABLE	Important against the Rams’ slot and underneath passing game.
Landon Jackson, DL	Knee — QUESTIONABLE	Could further reduce defensive-front depth.
Christian Benford, CB	Toe — Cleared; expected to start	Valuable return against Nacua and Adams.

Los Angeles’ final report shows several important returns, with Quentin Lake the remaining questionable player

Rams player	Injury/status	Likely matchup impact
Quentin Lake, S/slot defender	Hip — QUESTIONABLE	Availability matters against Buffalo’s tight ends and short passing game.
Aaron Donald, DE	Back — No game designation	Returns to strengthen the defensive front.
Jaylen Watson, CB	Shoulder — No game designation	Improves coverage depth.
Colby Parkinson, TE	Knee/shoulder — No game designation	Restores blocking and receiving flexibility.
Nate Landman, LB	Shoulder — No game designation	Available for responsibilities against Cook and Allen.
Terrance Ferguson, TE	Ankle — Injured reserve	Remains unavailable, reducing tight-end depth.

Ferguson’s injured-reserve placement was confirmed in the Rams’ injury coverage. The impact descriptions are my assessment; questionable players still require a final game-day decision.

Prop Bets:

First TD Scorer

Puka Naua +650

Anytime TD Scorer

Khalil Shakir +205

Dalton Kincaid +180

2+ TDs

Josh Allen +500

QB matchup: Ashton Daniels (FSU): 1,111 passing yards, 6 TD, 6 INT. Lincoln Kienholz (Louisville): 1,394 yards, 9 TD, 1 INT; Daniels’ rushing threat is a major part of FSU’s attack.

Last game: Florida State won 38-7 over Virginia Cavaliers. Louisville lost 28-31 to NC State Wolfpack.

Key injuries: Louisville QB Lincoln Kienholz is PROBABLE, upgraded from questionable. FSU DL Darryll Desir is QUESTIONABLE; RB Samuel Singleton Jr., WR Devin Carter and LB Blake Nichelson are OUT. Louisville RB Keyjuan Brown, DB TJ Banks and OL Cason Henry are QUESTIONABLE; OT Bryten Close, OL Sam Secrest and WR Montavin Quisenberry are OUT.

Offense/defense: FSU’s quarterback runs and downhill rushing attack test Louisville’s defensive fits; the Seminoles ran for 281 yards against Virginia. Louisville can answer through Kienholz against FSU’s vulnerable pass coverage. A clean pocket favors the Cardinals, while Daniels’ mobility can neutralize pressure and extend drives.

Key trends: FSU is: 1)5-0 Over last 5 on the road in series. 2)6-1 Under last 7 in October. 3)4-0 Under last 4 after a SU win. 4)0-4 ATS last 4 Friday games. 5)0-4 ATS last 4 after an ATS win. Ville is: 1)5-1 Over last 6 overall. 2)5-1 ATS last 6 after an ATS loss.

Iowa at Washington

9:00 ET • FOX/FS1• Washington -3.5 | Total 41.5

Iowa 4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS, 1-4 O/U, 1-1 B10; Washington 3-2 SU, 1-4 ATS, 2-3 OU, 0-2 B10

QB matchup: Hank Brown/Jeremy Hecklinski (Iowa) vs. Demond Williams Jr. (Washington). Brown: 832 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT, but questionable with a shoulder injury. Hecklinski was 5-of-5 for 67 yards in relief against Ohio State. Williams: 1,327 yards, 8 TD, 3 INT. Iowa’s starter must be confirmed before kickoff.

Key injuries: Iowa QB Hank Brown — QUESTIONABLE, shoulder; S Tyler Brown and DB Kyler Gerardy — OUT; DB Ty Hudkins — QUESTIONABLE.

Washington CB Jeron Jones — DOUBTFUL, undisclosed. He has started three games, with 19 tackles and an interception. C Landen Hatchett — QUESTIONABLE, wrist. RBs Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar — OUT; S CJ Christian — OUT for the season, Achilles.

Last game: Iowa lost 31-14 to Ohio State Buckeyes. Washington lost 21-25 to USC Trojans.

Key injuries: NEW: Iowa QB Hank Brown is QUESTIONABLE (shoulder); Jeremy Hecklinski may start.

Offense/defense: Iowa needs to reestablish its ground game after managing only 39 rushing yards against Ohio State. Washington’s passing attack tests Iowa’s zone coverage, but the Hawkeyes can keep this close by limiting explosives and winning field position. A backup start would increase the importance of protection and manageable third downs.

Key trends: IA is: 1)6-0-1 ATS last 7 road games. 2)5-1 Under last 6 conference games. 3)8-1 Over last 9 after an ATS loss. Wash is: 1)3-13 ATS last 16 after an ATS win. 2)5-1 Under last 6 in October. 3)0-4 ATS last 4 home games.

Washington State at Utah State

9:00 ET • The CW • Utah State -5.5 | Total 43.5

Washington State 1-4 SU, 3-2 ATS, 2-3 O/U, 0-1 Pac-12; Utah State 1-4 SU, 3-2 ATS, 1-4 O/U, 0-1 Pac-12.

QB matchup: Caden Pinnick (Washington State): 61.3%, 796 yards, 3 TD, 5 INT; 178 rushing yards. McCae Hillstead (Utah State): 764 yards, 6 TD, 6 INT; 232 rushing yards.

Last game: Washington State lost 6-26 to Fresno State Bulldogs. Utah State lost 18-37 to Boise State Broncos.

2025 matchup: Washington State beat Utah State 34-21 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Key injuries: Utah State QB McCae Hillstead is listed PROBABLE.

Offense/defense: Washington State produced only 182 yards against Fresno State, including 30 on the ground. Utah State’s quarterback runs offer a better way to create efficient early downs, but interceptions have repeatedly hurt the Aggies.

Key trends: WST is: 1)7-1 Under last 8 road games. 2)5-1 Over last 6 Friday games. 3)5-1 ATS last 6 after an ATS loss. UTS is: 1)9-2 ATS last 11 home games. 2 )3-0-1 ATS last 4 Friday games. 3)4-1 Under last 5 games overall.

Wyoming at San Jose State

9:00 ET • CBSSN • San Jose State -5.5 | Total 42.5

Wyoming 2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS, 1-4 O/U, 1-0 MWC; San Jose State 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS, 1-4 O/U, 1-0 MWC

QB matchup: Tyler Hughes (Wyoming): 58.9%, 708 yards, 2 TD, 6 INT; 184 rushing yards. Luke Weaver (San Jose State): 1,278 yards, 11 TD, 5 INT.

Last game: Wyoming lost 0-28 to North Dakota State Bison. San Jose State won 20-16 over Hawaii Warriors.

Key injuires: Wyoming LB Ethan Stuhlsatz — QUESTIONABLE, ankle. Wyoming’s leading tackler has 39 tackles; CB Ian Bell — QUESTIONABLE, foot. WR Deion DeBlanc — OUT, toe.

Offense/defense: Wyoming’s passing struggles allow San Jose State to crowd the line and force Hughes or his replacement to win outside. Weaver gives the Spartans the more productive passing option, but Wyoming can slow possessions if it avoids giveaways. SJSU’s own limited rushing production makes sustained pass protection important.

Key trends: Wyo is: 1)0-6 ATS last 6 road games. 2)5-2 ATS last 7 in October. 3)6-0 Under last 6 after a SU loss. 4)6-0 Under last 6 after a SU and ATS loss. SJST is: 1)4-0 Under last 4 games overall. 2)6-0 Under last 6 after an ATS loss. 3)11-4 ATS last 15 Friday games.

Iowa State at BYU

10:15 ET • ESPN • BYU -9.5 | Total 46.5

Iowa State 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS, 3-2 O/U, 1-1 B12; BYU 4-0 SU, 4-0 ATS, 2-2 O/U, 2-0 B12

QB matchup: Jaylen Raynor (Iowa State): 903 yards, 6 TD, 4 INT; 152 rushing yards and 3 rushing TD. Bear Bachmeier (BYU): 704 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT; 130 rushing yards and 4 rushing TD. Bachmeier has the cleaner turnover profile.

Last game: Iowa State won 45-42 over West Virginia Mountaineers. BYU won 17-10 over TCU Horned Frogs.

Key injuries: Iowa State RB E. Miller and TE L. Galer are questionable; WR C. Pabst is out for the season. Additional listings: Iowa State TEs C. Greenlaw and R. Barnes are QUESTIONABLE; CB J. Singletary and DL C. Crawford are OUT.

Offense/defense: Iowa State’s 45-42 win exposed defensive vulnerabilities despite a productive offense. BYU can stress those fits with Bachmeier’s mobility and a balanced attack, while Iowa State needs Raynor to create chunk plays without turnovers. BYU’s 17-10 win over TCU also shows it can win a controlled, lower-possession game.

Key trends: IST is: 1)0-4-1 ATS last 5 games in October. 2)4-0 Under last 4 road games. 3)5-0 Under last 5 games after a DD loss at home. BYU is: 1)4-1 Under last 5 conference games. 2)5-0 ATS last 5 as a home fave. 3)5-0 Under last 5 after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game.

ATS: NFL and College Football Betting Preview for Thursday

Posted on October 8, 2026October 8, 2026 by Mat Daily

On Thursday, Week 5 of the NFL begins, but Week 6 of the College Football season has begun since Tuesday. Let’s check out betting previews for

NFL

TAMPA BAY AT DALLAS — 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video

Records: Tampa Bay 0-4 SU, 0-4 ATS; Dallas 2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS. Dallas games have gone 4-0 Over this season.

Last game recap: Tampa Bay lost 17-14 to Green Bay in rookie Jalon Daniels’ first start. He produced two touchdown drives but threw two first-half interceptions, and protection problems contributed to the offense stalling on its late opportunity to win. Dallas beat Houston 34-30 behind Dak Prescott’s 32-of-45 passing for 335 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. CeeDee Lamb caught 17 passes for 189 yards and the winning touchdown; Javonte Williams scored three rushing touchdowns.

QB matchup: Jalon Daniels vs. Dak Prescott. Daniels threw for 148 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, adding 55 rushing yards, against Green Bay. Prescott enters with 1,065 passing yards, eight touchdowns and a 105.0 passer rating through four games. Dallas has the substantial advantage in experience and established passing production. Daniels’ mobility gives Tampa Bay a way to extend possessions when protection breaks down.

Key injuries: Tampa Bay has ruled out QB Baker Mayfield (right thumb), S Antoine Winfield Jr. (rib), CB Benjamin Morrison (quad) and LB SirVocea Dennis (ankle/foot). Dallas has ruled out CB Cobie Durant, LB DeMarvion Overshown and OT Drew Shelton. G Tyler Smith and WR Jonathan Mingo are questionable. Lamb practiced fully Wednesday and has no game designation.

2025 matchup: They did not meet in 2025. Their most recent meeting was Dallas’ 26-24 home win on December 22, 2024.

Offense vs. defense: Dallas averages 30.5 points, but its defense ranks last in yards allowed per play and has struggled on third down. That creates an opportunity for Tampa Bay to improve offensively despite starting a rookie. Conversely, Winfield and Morrison’s absences make defending Lamb and George Pickens considerably more difficult.

SAM HOUSTON AT LIBERTY — 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU

Records: Sam Houston 1-3 SU, 3-1 ATS on the Covers ledger; Liberty 4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS.

Last game recap: Sam Houston lost 49-14 at Texas Tech on September 26 and has had an open week since. Landyn Locke completed 23 of 37 passes for 195 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Liberty won 30-14 at Delaware, building a 30-0 lead before allowing two late scores. Kam Davis rushed for 147 yards, while Deshawn Purdie went 13-of-20 for 157 yards without an interception.

QB matchup: Landyn Locke vs. Deshawn Purdie. Adding Locke’s four game logs gives 1,168 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions, with 96 completions in 145 attempts—66.2%. He exceeded 300 passing yards in each of his first three games. Purdie has seven touchdown passes and no interceptions; his recent performances have complemented Liberty’s increasingly productive running attack.

Key injuries: Liberty’s published watch list includes RB J. Marshall (leg), RB C. Wood, TE B. Burklow and TE C. Ryan, all questionable.

Offense vs. defense: Sam Houston’s Air Raid averages 308 passing yards per game, while Liberty’s spread-option attack averages 208.2 rushing yards. Sam Houston’s defense has improved to 335.5 yards allowed per game, substantially better than last season. Liberty has shut out opponents in seven of its last 12 quarters.

MISSOURI STATE AT WESTERN KENTUCKY — 7 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network

Records: Missouri State 1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS, calculated from its four listed betting results because the matchup page’s summary incorrectly shows 0-0. Western Kentucky 1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS.

Last game recap: Missouri State lost 34-24 at SMU on September 26, covering a large underdog spread. The Bears were within 21-18 in the fourth quarter, and Joel Boamah contributed a 60-yard interception-return touchdown. Western Kentucky lost 34-13 at New Mexico State. A pick-six helped put WKU behind 20-6 at halftime; the Hilltoppers finished with 349 total yards, including 314 passing, but struggled to convert that passing production into points.

QB matchup: Skyler Locklear vs. Rodney Tisdale Jr. Locklear has completed 70.2% of his passes, averages 8.32 yards per attempt and has a 4-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He was hurt during the SMU game but is expected to remain the starter. Tisdale threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns against Mercyhurst, then approximately 314–315 yards with no touchdown passes against New Mexico State.

Key injuries: . Missouri State also has an older questionable listing for WR M. Cope, which does not confirm his current status. WKU’s October 2 listings flag WR K. Hutchinson, TE G. Reimer and RB A. Boyd as questionable with undisclosed injuries.

2025 matchup: Western Kentucky won 27-22 at Missouri State on September 27. The listed line was WKU -4.5, making the five-point victory a narrow cover; the game stayed Under 59.5.

Offense vs. defense: WKU’s run defense is allowing 6.22 yards per carry, the highest figure in the FBS in the cited preview. Missouri State can attack that weakness with Breezy Dubar, who averages 5.2 yards per carry, while using Locklear’s accurate passing to keep the defense balanced. On the other side, Tisdale has shown he can accumulate yards, but WKU’s latest game demonstrated problems with protection, rushing support and finishing drives.

SOUTH FLORIDA AT UTSA — 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

Records: South Florida 4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS; UTSA 4-1 SU, 2-2 ATS on the cited ledger, which records four lined games.

Last game recap: South Florida lost 17-13 at home to Temple. The decisive breakdown was allowing Temple to drive 96 yards in 10 plays for the winning fourth-quarter touchdown. Michael Van Buren Jr. completed 17 of 32 passes for 205 yards, without a touchdown or interception. UTSA survived Rice 16-14, scoring all its points before halftime. Owen McCown finished 19-of-29 for 148 yards, no touchdowns and one interception.

QB matchup: Michael Van Buren Jr. vs. Owen McCown. Summing Van Buren’s five game logs gives 922 passing yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, completing 77 of 123 attempts—62.6%. McCown has 1,010 passing yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions, completing 68.2%. McCown has the stronger touchdown production, while Van Buren has protected the ball but struggled to generate explosive offense.

Key injuries: UTSA’s offensive line is the main concern. Ben Rios’ injury has disrupted left guard, and Jonah Miller is returning from injury at tackle. Local reporting describes continued uncertainty in the line rotation. South Florida has an older questionable listing for WR A. Branch, but I could not confirm an updated game designation.

2025 matchup: South Florida won 55-23 in Tampa on November 6, covering -13.5; the game went Over 66.5. However, that Bulls offense was led by Byrum Brown, so last year’s result has limited value for evaluating the current quarterback matchup.

Offense vs. defense: USF allows 14.6 points and 312.4 yards per game, but its offense has produced only 27 combined points over the last two games. UTSA’s rushing attack averages 173.8 yards and 5.1 yards per carry, providing an alternative when the passing game struggles. USF needs to stop that run game and force McCown into longer passing downs behind an unsettled line.

SOUTH ALABAMA AT ARKANSAS STATE — 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2

Records: South Alabama 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS; Arkansas State 2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS on Covers’ full-game ledger. Some other services exclude FCS betting results and display fewer ATS decisions.

Last game recap: South Alabama beat ULM 52-35, producing 570 total yards: 321 passing and 249 rushing. Jared Hollins threw three touchdown passes, including scoring plays of 72 and 69 yards. Arkansas State lost 23-20 at Louisiana on a field goal as time expired. Trey Owens completed 20 of 31 passes for 206 yards and a touchdown; Chauncy Cobb caught eight passes for 65 yards, and Solomon Baggett rushed for 51 yards and a score.

QB matchup: Jared Hollins vs. Trey Owens. Hollins’ three listed appearances total 779 passing yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. He is coming off his most explosive performance, completing 14 of 19 against ULM. Owens has 1,043 passing yards through five games and threw one touchdown without an interception in each of his last two outings.

Arkansas State lists RB Kenyon Clay questionable with an ankle injury and RB D. Spencer out for the season with a knee injury. South Alabama’s published list includes season-ending absences for WR K. Marion, WR B. Barnes and TE M. Lynch. WR D. White also has an out listing, but its note refers to the previous game and does not establish Thursday’s status.

2025 matchup: Arkansas State won 15-14 in Mobile on October 14. The Red Wolves also won the previous Jonesboro meeting 18-16 in 2024, so the last two meetings were decided by a combined three points.

Offense vs. defense: South Alabama’s balance is its principal strength. Its three featured backs have combined for 871 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, and the Jaguars average nearly 34 minutes of possession. Arkansas State averages 24 points and 348.4 yards offensively, while allowing 23.4 points and 399.6 yards. South Alabama’s concern is coverage: ULM threw for 355 yards last week despite losing.

ATS: Betting approach for two months of daily football games

Posted on October 7, 2026October 7, 2026 by Mat Daily

From October 1 through November 30, football fans will have something remarkable: 61 consecutive days with a football game on the schedule. That sounds like a bettor’s dream. It can also become a bettor’s nightmare.

When there is football every night, the temptation is to treat every game like an opportunity that must be played.

Tuesday night Conference USA, Wednesday MACtion, Thursday Night Football, Friday college football, a packed Saturday, the NFL on Sunday, Monday Night Football – and then start all over again. The advantage comes from being selective.

Our job is not to manufacture a selection because a game happens to be on television. Our job is to analyze the entire board and identify the situations where we believe the line is wrong. That distinction becomes even more important during a 61-day football marathon.

More Games Means Betting Wiser

Before ATS releases a selection, our handicapping team will evaluate: Power ratings; quarterback play; offensive and defensive matchups; key injuries and depth-chart changes; coaching and coordinator advantages; travel and scheduling situations; weather; historical ATS systems and trends; line movement; situational motivation; and matchup-specific analytics.

Protect the Bankroll for the Entire 61-Day Run

The goal is not to win everything on one Saturday. The goal is to still have a healthy bankroll when the calendar reaches Thanksgiving weekend. That means clients should avoid dramatically changing their wager size based on what happened the previous day. A bettor who loses Sunday afternoon should not suddenly make Monday Night Football three or four times larger trying to get even. Likewise, somebody who wins big Saturday should not start treating Tuesday night football like house money. ATS believes in a structured unit system.
Standard selections should receive standard wagering amounts. Larger wagers should be reserved for situations in which ATS has significantly greater confidence. That is also why Max Bets are intentionally rare. If everything were labeled a Max Bet, nothing would actually be a Max Bet. Those releases are designed for situations where several important handicapping factors align and our team believes there is an unusually strong discrepancy between our evaluation and the sportsbook number.

Midweek Football Requires a Different Handicap
Tuesday and Wednesday football is not simply Saturday football played on another night.

MAC, Conference USA and Sun Belt games frequently present very different circumstances: shortened preparation, unusual travel situations, smaller crowds, colder or windier late-season weather, less depth than major Power conference programs, quarterbacks or offensive linemen playing through injuries, and dramatically different levels of motivation. By late October and November, one team may be fighting for a conference championship or bowl eligibility while another may already know its postseason hopes are gone. ATS looks for those situational differences. The public may see two teams with similar records. Our job is to determine whether those records actually represent two teams in the same position. Very often, they do not.

Don’t Automatically Bet the Under in MACtion Midweek
Unders can certainly offer value, particularly when wind, cold weather, injuries or short preparation affect offenses. The correct question is: Has the sportsbook properly accounted for the circumstances? If two explosive offenses are facing depleted secondaries, the Over may still be the value. If a starting quarterback is missing, the offensive line is injured and 20-mph winds are expected, an Under could become attractive. We handicap the specific game, not the nickname attached to the night.

Injuries Become More Important as the Season Gets Longer

By October and November, virtually every football team is dealing with injuries. The challenge is determining which injuries actually matter. We study the replacement structure. If a quarterback is injured: Who is the backup? How much experience does he have? Does the offense need to change? Is the offensive line healthy? Are the starting receivers available? Can the team protect him with a strong running game? Does the opponent have a pass rush capable of exposing him? The same applies elsewhere. One injured cornerback may be manageable. Both starting corners missing against an elite passing attack could completely alter the matchup. A starting left tackle injury becomes much more significant against a dominant edge rusher. During a 61-day stretch, injury clusters can create some of the biggest discrepancies between ATS’ evaluation and the market.

The Advantage
During the 61-Day Football Marathon This stretch is exactly why professional handicapping can become particularly valuable. Instead of a client trying to evaluate dozens of teams, injuries, quarterback changes, weather forecasts, coaching situations, trends and line moves every single day, ATS’ handicapping team does that work continuously. That means more research, more discipline, better money management, fewer forced wagers, greater emphasis on the number, and bigger conviction only when the situation deserves it. For ATS clients, it means 61 days of potential opportunity – and the discipline to know when to play and when to pass. The games never stop. Neither does the research.
