James Madison is undefeated ATS (5-0), and Georgia Southern is 1-3 against FBS teams. I like JMU to cover -9.5 or better because of its defense. The Dukes are 17th nationally in defensive success rate (37.7%), and Georgia Southern QB Max Johnson is third nationally in turnover-worthy plays (10).

USC has looked lifeless to start 2026, failing to cover since Week 1 while now facing a difficult road spot across two time zones. The Trojans have already shown plenty of cracks, and I expect Matt Campbell and Penn State to capitalize. The Nittany Lions are coming off back-to-back losses, but I love this spot for a bounce-back win.

King Miller (3.68 yards after contact per attempt) and Waymond Jordan (Big Ten-leading 37% missed tackles forced rate) will eat against a defense that surrendered a whopping 413 rushing yards and four scores last week to Northwestern.

Gunner Stockton has yet to score a rushing touchdown this season, but the Georgia quarterback ran for 10 scores last year. He's already broken off a career-long 62-yard run this season. With the Bulldogs facing Alabama in a crucial SEC showdown, I'm backing Stockton to use his legs and find paydirt.

Sacovie White-Helton has the speed to burn Alabama's defense on a deep ball. The Georgia receiver has one touchdown this season, a 70-yard score against Western Kentucky. With both teams looking to make a statement, I expect the Bulldogs to take some shots downfield, giving White-Helton a chance to find paydirt.

Kansas may have put up 51+ points in two of its games, but against its two major conference opponents, that output dropped dramatically. And while the Missouri defense is solid, playing it at home doesn't compare to heading on the road to face off against a Utah defense that ranks 10th nationally in SP+, holds opponents to 4.7 yards per passing attempt, and gives up only 2.9 yards per rush.

Utah allows opponents to complete only 46.9% of their passes, which will clamp down on any explosive plays out of Isaiah Marshall and the Kansas passing game, which is outside of the Top 100 in completion percentage (57%). Kansas hasn't been bad on defense, holding opponents to 17.0 ppg, and Utah has played to the Under in each of its last three contests. That's enough for me to think this game won't get completely out of control when the Utes have the ball against a legitimate Power 4 defensive unit.

I’m fading Minnesota after its emotional win over Michigan and P.J. Fleck calling it one of the best days of his life. Purdue has competed well outside its Notre Dame blowout, including an outright win over Illinois as nearly 10-point dogs. Take the points.

Play Hawaii down to +18.5 as Arizona State hasn't been trustworthy enough to lay three scores with. The two most recent data points have seen them muster just 3.5 yards per play against Kansas and get dominated 19-55 by Baylor, and the underlying metrics are concerning.

Good to 49.5. Neither offense is trustworthy, and the forecast is calling for rain (63% chance throughout the contest). Hawaii bottles up big plays on defense (33rd in passing explosiveness allowed), but can't generate them offensively (123rd in explosiveness generated through the air).

I love the spot for Boise State. It's a revenge spot as they were favored by double digits and lost outright to Fresno State last season in a game where they lost their starting QB. I think this is a rare conference game that they have circled on their calander. I like the price as well, which I made seven. I'm not overly impressed by Fresno State so far this season.

How to Use NCAAF Computer Picks

As human beings, we're bound to be biased with our picks and potentially fall into the trap of swinging with the public. With advanced stats growing in popularity and getting harder to track, college football computer predictions are starting to become more relied on.

Moneyline

Betting on a moneyline simply means you're picking the outright winner of the game, regardless of the scoring margin or total. If the team you choose wins, then your bet hits. Here's what it will look like over at your favorite sportsbook:

TeamMoneyline
Alabama Crimson Tide-120
Missouri Tigers+150

In this case, Alabama is favored to win the game as its moneyline odds have a minus sign (-) in front of the number. The favorites will have the minus sign present, and the underdogs will have a plus sign (+). Easy, right?

Spread

Betting the spread gives your bet a bit more breathing room. Here, you don't need to sweat out a team to win. Instead, you can wager on the point differential on the scoreboard.

Betting on the spread is a good idea when the moneyline profits aren't enticing. There's no point betting on Alabama as a heavy -1500 favorite over Missouri. But taking Missouri to keep the scoring margin within a certain frame will get you more bang for your buck.

TeamSpread
Alabama Crimson Tide-24.5 (-105)
Missouri Tigers+24.5 (-115)

In this example, the Tide are favored to dominate their game against Missouri, outperforming them by at least 24.5 points.

If Alabama does win by more than 25 points, that would mean the Crimson Tide covered the spread. But if the Tide won by just 20 points, then that would mean the Tigers "covered the spread" instead.

Totals

If you think the outcome of a game could flip in either direction, then an Over/Under is the way to go. This bet relies on the combined score from both teams and whether it goes Over or Under the point total listed at sportsbooks. Then, who cares who wins?

TeamTotal
Alabama Crimson TideO 52.5 (-110)
Missouri TigersU 52.5 (-110)

In this example, oddsmakers have set the total score for the game at 52.5 points. The choice is now up to you. If you think the Tide and Tigers will score a combined total of more than 52.5 points, 53 points or more, then pick the Over. If you're thinking otherwise, then bet the Under, and the bet will hit if they score fewer than 52.5 points.

If the set number was a whole number like 52 points and the two teams score exactly that amount, then it is considered a push and you'd get your money back.
