Matchup quick hits & angles
- FLA @ MIA: Miami’s vertical shots plus defensive havoc vs. a Florida secondary that’s been leaky—laying TD-ish at home is justified; watch -7/-7.5.
- ILL @ IU: Market respect to Hoosiers at home; explosive plays likely decide a tight Big Ten tilt.
- TTU @ UTAH: Utes’ pass rush vs. Tech’s pace—solid teaser/ML parlay candidate if this dips under 3.
- AUB @ OU: Short favorite with defensive edge; totals market holding high-40s.
- KENT @ FSU: Massive number; Noles often rotate early—first-half spreads can offer cleaner angles.
- MSU @ USC: Trojans’ perimeter speed vs. Spartans’ secondary—favorite inflated but correlated with over scenarios.
- ORST @ ORE: Blowout profile; Ducks’ QB efficiency suggests alt-spreads are viable.
