Michigan State +5.5 So much love for BC that they deserve. But as well as they've played, BC has issues that you can read about in preseason previews. Michigan State impressed in their Maryland road game, and maybe Aidan Chiles can get the job done. Their run defense is solid, and they should have enough film on Castellanos to hem him in the pocket. Castellanos is 5'9" and I'm not sold that his passing skills are that much better, or that he won't commit turnovers like last season.
Bowling Green +22.5 Usually it's a good idea to bet against a team off a game like BGU had vs. PSU. But they really did play Penn State pretty even, and PSU HC Franklin often pummels these Group of 5 teams at home. BGU is a veteran team, with no glaring weaknesses. Weigman available as an emergency backup for freshman QB Reed. A&M just doesn't look as loaded with talent as in the past. With SEC games on deck, they could be happy with just a W here.
Washington -11.5 The Huskies really did outplay WSU last week and I think they will have just too much offense for NW to keep up. Jack Lausch's first road game as QB in Husky Stadium. I think UW surprises us this season after losing Penix and his WRs to the NFL. The running game could be a great complement to Will Rogers at QB, who is completing 77% of his passes.
FSU -2.5 FSU is having a nightmare start, but this is football and they are at home. Norvell has lit into his team, and that along with him being a good coach, should give them an edge over Cal on a hot, muggy day. Cal is feeling great starting 3-0, but this feels like a letdown game vs. a very hungry team.
ULL +2 Tulane has had two tough, physical games in a row, and the grind has got to have worn them down a bit. Now they're on the road vs. a ULL team with 2 good options at QB and a pretty good run game. ULL has an improved D with some nice transfers on the DL. They haven't played any consequential opponents yet so this will be a good test.
