Football Louisville -7.5 vs. Toledo
Both of these programs are coming off 8-4 seasons, but Louisville did so in the ACC while Toledo did it in the MAC. The Rockets will also be guided by interim head coach Robert Weiner after Jason Candle accepted the UConn job this month. A handful of Louisville players are opting out of the Boca Raton Bowl, but in addition to losing Candle, Toledo will also be without edge rusher Malachi Davis, who chose to enter the transfer portal after recording 5.5 sacks. The model predicts that the Cardinals cover the spread in 57% of simulations. Bet on college football at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users can get $200 in bonus bets:
Football Western Kentucky money line vs. Southern Miss
Tyson Helton led the Hilltoppers to an 8-4 season in Conference USA, while Southern Miss went 7-5 in the Sun Belt and then lost head coach Charles Huff to Memphis. Western Kentucky did lose running back La’Vell Wright (10 rushing touchdowns) and cornerback Dylan Flowers (four passes defensed) to the transfer portal, but should have better overall continuity with Helton staying put. The model predicts that the Hilltoppers win in 67% of simulations. Bet on college football at FanDuel, where new users get $250 in bonus bets with a winning $5 wager:
Football UNLV -6.5 vs. Ohio
The Rebels went 10-3 this season under Dan Mullen, and he remains with UNLV despite rumors of Michigan interest swirling. Meanwhile, Ohio fired its head coach Brian Smith with cause after a scandal broke out last week and will turn to John Hauser after an 8-4 year. Expect the Rebels’ high-powered offense to dictate the pace here, which is a big reason why the model says they cover the spread in 56% of simulations.
