| If counting the October 17 result vs. Washington State as a spread winner (as it was for most people who took the Beavers before that Saturday), Oregon State has covered all seven of its games this season for new head coach JaMarcus Shephard. Oregon State is also 6-1 to the "over" in this campaign. |
| The Huskies have been woeful performers in the betting market lately, covering just one of seven thus far in 2026, and a point spread skid that extends back more than two years. Following an epic 16-14 upset win at Notre Dame in early September 2024, Northern Illinois has gone 7-20-1 vs. the line since. |
| Note the San Marcos-based Bobcats have dropped six of their last seven spread decisions as a visitor. |
| Curiously, the road team has covered the spread in nine-straight games involving the Huskies since late last season. |
| Miami is 7-0 straight-up, 5-2 against the spread this season. Six of Miami's seven games have gone over the total. |
| The Trojans' downturn at the betting window under Lincoln Riley extends to late in the 2025 campaign, and a 2-10 mark vs. the number in the 12 games since. As for the Buckeyes, they're 7-1 vs. the spread their last eight as a true visitor. |
| Eric Morris and his Cowboys have covered the spread in each of the last six games since that season-opening loss at Tulsa, and have landed "over" the total in each of their last five vs. FBS-level opposition. |
| Georgia Southern is one point away from being 7-0 against the spread this season (lost by four at Jacksonville State as a 3.5-point 'dog) |
| The Bruins have yet to lose outright (7-0) or vs. the spread (6-0-1) this season for new head coach Bob Chesney. UCLA has also landed "under" in three-straight lower-scoring games. Note also the Wolf Pack has covered the spread in four-straight heading into this Saturday. |
| The Lobos are 14-5 vs. the spread since last season for head coach Jason Eck. Meanwhile, note five-straight spread losses at home in Silicon Valley for the Spartans. |
| Prior to last week's OT loss in Orlando vs. UCF, the Cougars had covered 13 of their previous 15 games on the board, and have now covered seven-straight in Provo. |
| The Wildcats are now 7-1 straight-up and vs. the spread since late last season after last week's 42-14 romp over visiting Rutgers. Meanwhile, the Ducks are on a 2-6 spread downturn since late in the 2025 campaign. |
| Jim Mora's wildly-entertaining Rams have landed "over" in all seven of their games to date this season, though the Aggies have landed "under" in six of their first seven outings. |
| The troubled Miners have dropped ten of their last 11 spread decisions vs. FBS-level opposition since midway through the 2025 campaign. Meanwhile, the host Bison are 3-0 straight-up and vs. the spread vs. FBS-level foes in Fargo this term. |
| Each of the last two meetings in this Conference-USA matchup have gone to overtime. |
| Six of Louisville's seven games have gone over the total, and the lone game that stayed under only did so by a half-point (30-27 vs Wake Forest with a total of 57.5). |
| East Carolina is 5-0 straight-up, 4-1 against the spread over the last five meetings. |
| With spread covers in ten of their last 15 since midway through last season, the Huskies are offering some decent spread value lately. |
| Deion Sanders and his Buffaloes are having all sorts of trouble lately in Big XII play, dropping nine-straight decisions outright while covering the spread just twice across that span. |
| Marshall has won each of the last eight meetings in this Sun Belt matchup, including a 48-24 outright upset last year as a 14.5-point 'dog. |
| Six of the Wolverines' seven games have stayed under the total. |
| Iowa has won-and-covered each of the last four meetings. The Hawkeyes have out-scored the Badgers by a combined margin of 118-26 during this run. |
| Maryland is 0-5 straight-up, 1-4 against the spread over the last five games with all five of those contests going over the total. |
| The Blazers' last six games have all stayed under the total. |
| Since Navy's 28-27 upset win in 2016, Notre Dame has won the last eight meetings by an average of 25.9 points per game. The Irish have won-and-covered each of the last three meetings. |

| North Texas' last five games have all gone over the total. |
| The Gamecocks are 4-1 straight-up, 3-2 against the spread over their last five games, but the average margin in those contests was 4.0 points per game. During that stretch, Jacksonville State was involved in a one-point win, a two-point loss, a three-point win and a four-point win. |
