Minnesota is coming off a huge win over Michigan. Their defense has been outstanding, but their offense struggles at times. Purdue has a very good offense and is at home. Purdue will keep this one close but I look for Minnesota to prevail in the end.

I am looking at the over in this one. The Trojans have scored 37.3 points per game and are giving up 25.5 points. The Nittany Lions have scored 32.0 points per game, and they are giving up 16.0 points per game. USC has allowed 30+ points in three of their last four games. The Trojans' defense is below average, and they have to travel cross-country. Both offenses will be better than the defenses.

Play on the OVER. This is a 3% play.

UCLA has a chance to start the season at 5-0 for the first time since 2022. Oregon can't afford to lose another game. Oregon is at home for this one and is probably the better team. UCLA is a top-10 scoring offense, and the Oregon defense is good, not great. Oregon is down its starting quarterback, and things could get interesting if this game is close late. This is a lot of points for a team that can score.

Play on UCLA plus the points (10 to 10.5 or more). This is a 3% play.

Texas A&M is 3-2 overall but 0-1 on the road. They are putting up 31.8 points per game and giving up 18.6. Missouri is 4-1 overall and 3-0 at home. The Tigers are putting up 37.6 points per game and are giving up 20. I am on Missouri in this one. Missouri has an explosive offense and the better quarterback. Austin Simmons has thrown for 1,287 yards and 13 touchdowns. A&M has a good defense that will keep them in the game, but their offense has struggled against good teams. This game could come down to the end, so take the money line.

Play on Missouri. This is a 3% play.
