MSU -7 vs Iowa
Not a whole lot going on here. MSU is clearly the better team on paper. Iowa as a SALTY defense while MSU has a superb offense. Iowa has great TE depth but the #1 TE prospect in the NFL draft is sitting out. Both coaching staffs are stable and both teams are coming of back to back wins.

Bet: No bet. The TD line is correct. This is a coinflip. I will probably make a 1x play on MSU just for the fun of being invested in the outcome.

LSU -7.5 vs UCF
I am super intriqued for this game. Generally, I agree with Gabe that you will get an unmotivated team vs a motivated little brother. But I think Ed is pretty good at getting his teams up for games. Not to mention UCFs super stud QB is a knee short of playing in this game. Coaching staffs are stable. LSU is short a stud CB that is bailing early for the draft. UCF RB Killians (co starter) appears to be playing but is not expected to be 100%. LSU defense is missing quite a few due to injury (which gives me some pause). Also Justin Jefferson is questionable and it doesn't sound like he can play.

Bet: I think there is a distinct possibility that LSU blows the doors off UCF given their athletes and team speed vs an inexperienced QB. I am not sold on Heupel as a HC (but that may be bias). Bet LSU, give the points.

Pedo St -5 vs UK

Stable coaching staffs, UK is down a starting LBer (due to academics). Both teams are coming of winning streaks. Just a blah game for things I look for. This comes down to good ole fashion football. We know UK has a salty defense. Both teams have great running games and can control the clock. Benny Snell is just 107 yards from the UK career mark, :eyes:.

Bet: Under 47.5. I think both teams are going to play ground game ball control and make this a fast and low scoring affair. I think the -5 for Pedo is fair, I'll be rooting for UK to win, but I think the play is probably Pedo -5.

Prop Bet: O/U on Snell rushing is 99.5 (-130). Bet that hard. Even if the game is not in doubt, Stoops is going to get Snell the record, if at all possible.

More to come....
