Michigan
Pick - Spread
Texas -6.5 (-110)
Best Odds -7 -112
Michigan’s offense has a finishing drives problem. That may sound rash when describing the defending champions that went 15-0 last season and have now played only one game this year, but they turned nine possessions starting from kickoffs or punts into just four quality drives, and three of those then devolved into field goals against Fresno State. Texas’s defense will be more stout, and more stout could mean dominant as the Wolverines look ineffective where it matters most. Against Texas’s explosive offense, just one red-zone stumble should be enough to leave Michigan trailing by a full touchdown.

Utah
Pick - Total
at o52.5 (-113)
Best Odds o54.5 -110
If this thought backfires, it will be because Utah is too good, particularly against what could be a flailing Baylor team. However, Toledo transfer QB Dequan Finn may have inspired enough confidence in Baylor’s offense to quell that worry, accounting for 3 total TDs last week. The crux of this Over thought stems from believing Utah’s offense remains undervalued in the market. Beating Southern Utah 49-0 with 5 TDs from QB Cam Rising was never going to give the Utes enough credit, but the return of Rising and tight end Brant Kuithe has revived Utah’s offense, even if advanced numbers look at last year’s struggles without those two and still give them some weight.

Buffalo 
at 
Missouri
Pick - Spread
Missouri -34 (-110)
Best Odds -34.5 -110
Missouri exceeded expectations on Saturday despite facing FCS-level Murray State. With former coordinator Blake Baker now at LSU and only five returning defensive starters, sportsbooks outright expected Missouri to yield some points to the Racers. Instead, the Tigers pitched a shutout, giving up 85 yards on 50 plays. If Missouri has a 2024 weakness, it is its secondary, but Buffalo has one of the 25 worst passing attacks in the country. To make matters worse for the Bulls, their pass defense should be in the bottom-40, susceptible to Mizzou QB Brady Cook and WR Luther Burden III.
