Texas–Ohio State — Under 47.0 (-115)
Top-tier defenses, new QB rhythm on both sides, and a neutral-ish chess match feel. Fewer explosive drives, more field position.
Utah -5.5 at UCLA (-110)
Utah’s continuity/physicality vs. a Bruins team turning over key pieces (especially in the secondary). Utes’ trench edge travels.
UTSA +23.5 at Texas A&M (-110)
Roadrunners’ uptempo/pass game is pesky enough for a back-door window. A&M wins, but 24 is a lot with Week-1 variance.
Purdue -16.5 vs Ball State (-115)
Power-5 size/speed gap plus a cleaner offensive setup for the Boilers. Ball State likely struggles to trade scores for four quarters.
Fresno State +2 vs Georgia Southern (-110)
Home dog with a pass defense that matches up well. Even if it’s tight, +2 gives cushion in a coin-flip late.
