Vegas:<\/span> Liberty <\/strong><\/span>-6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

College Football Game Picker:<\/span> Liberty <\/strong>by 13.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These two teams have played comparable strength of schedules. Delaware is a pass first offense that will struggle against the 6th ranked pass defense of Liberty. Delaware won’t be able to move the ball on the ground with its 118th ranked rushing offense going against the 60th ranked rush defense of Liberty. Delaware has been horrible on pass defense ranking 130th. Liberty’s 62nd ranked pass offense should be able to put up some points along with its 30th ranked rushing offense.

\n

Saturday, October 3rd, 2026:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Syracuse<\/span> Vs UConn<\/strong><\/p>\n

College Football Game Picker:<\/span> Syracuse<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>by 12.79<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Syracuse has played a much more difficult schedule here and matches up well against UConn with its strengths and weaknesses.

College Football Game Picker:<\/span> W. Michigan <\/strong>by 24.73<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

W. Michigan started off the season by shocking Michigan and matches up well against a really bad Buffalo team. Buffalo has struggled mightily on offense ranking 127th in rush offense and 121st in pass offense against the 138th ranked strength of schedule. W. Michigan is a better than average defense that will shut down Buffalo. Buffalo has been just as bad on defense and will not be able to stop the 58th ranked rushing offense of W. Michigan with its 131st ranked rush defense. Look for W. Michigan to cover in this one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Toledo has played the much more difficult schedule here and leads by a wide margin in every statistical category. Ball St. will struggle on offense with its 126th ranked rush offense and 130th ranked pass offense going against a pretty decent Toledo defense. Toledo will be able to pass at will on Ball St. with its 15th ranked pass offense going against the 123rd ranked pass defense of Ball St. Toledo has been undervalued by Vegas with a +9 against the spread average.

Vegas:<\/span> Louisiana <\/strong>-6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

College Football Game Picker:<\/span> Louisiana <\/strong>by 13.80<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Louisiana has had a very strong and balanced defense ranking 26th in rush defense and 24th in pass defense. Arkansas St. will find the going tough on offense and will struggle to put up points in this one. The strength on offense for Louisiana has been its 45th ranked rushing offense that will be going against the 126th ranked rush defense of Arkansas St. Louisiana has been way undervalued by Vegas this year with a +10 against the spread average.
