Idaho at Missouri -14 Noon ET SECN

After an abysmal start to the season, Mizzou is starting to come into its own a little bit. They narrowly lost to Kentucky two weeks ago, and were tied with Georgia 21–21 last week. Barry Odom inherited a dumpster fire, and he is doing a good job building a football team. The Tigers win this one by 28.

Boston College at UVA -5.5 12:30 ET ACCN

Virginia is off to a 5–1 start, and is playing the best football that program has experienced in several years. Bronco Mendenhall is a great football coach, and the Cavaliers can compete with anyone in the ACC. Boston College played well a week ago, but they can’t repeat that performance this week. UVA wins by a touchdown and we cover.

Kentucky +12 at Mississippi State 4:00 SECN

I really don’t understand this line. These are two very evenly matched teams. Kentucky should be undefeated, but Stoops is an idiot. This game is going to go down to the wire and I think there is a good chance Kentucky pulls this one off outright coming off a bye. Either way, neither team will win by more than a field goal and we will be making money.

SMU -7.5 at Cincinnati 5:00 ET ESPNU

Here we are in week 8 and Vegas still hasn’t figured out how bad Cincy is. The Bearcats suck; they are absolutely horrible. Honestly, I think they are still just recovering from the Butch Jones era. But in all seriousness, bet on SMU, they are winning this one by 21.

UAB -7.5 at Charlotte 7:30 ET Bein Sports

Charlotte is really struggling to adapt to the FBS early on. They are 0–7 right now and there is no sign that it will get better anytime soon. UAB is going to roll into to town and rail the 49er’s. The best thing is, they only have to win by 8 for us to cash this in. Easy Money baby; UAB by 30.

BYU -6 at ECU 7:00 ET CBSSN

Alright boys and girls, what’s the one thing we always do here at Mainland? If you said, “bet against ECU,” then you were absolutely right. Betting against ECU has worked 6 out of 7 times this season. Sure BYU sucks, but they are Pirates level bad… I hope.

LSU at Ole Miss +7 7:15 ET ESPN

LSU is the weirdest teams in football. After losing a homecoming game to Troy, the Tigers won back to back games as road underdogs. Now they are road favorites, so nothing would make more sense than Coach O. and they boys laying an egg. I really think that Ole Miss is going to win this one outright. Shea Patterson is an incredible football player. Ole Miss’ top ranked pass offense will torch the Tigers.

West Virginia -9 at Baylor 8:00 ET FS1

WVU -3.5 a week ago was never in doubt a week ago, right? The Mountaineers reeling off 29 straight to get the cover last week saved my ass, and now I’m throwing my faith right back into them this week. Will Grier is the best quarterback in college football and West Virginia is going to 30-piece Baylor. I’m not sure Baylor wins a game this year; Karma is a bitch.

Colorado at Washington State -10 10:45 ET ESPN

Chaos struck the PAC-12 last week as both Washington teams went down. The conference’s playoff chances took a big hit as there is no longer an undefeated team left in the league. Washington State is still a good team, however, and they will get back on track this week against a Colorado team that struggled to put away Oregon State a week ago.
