Louisville -7.5 vs. Toledo
Both of these programs are coming off 8-4 seasons, but Louisville did it 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 job at UConn 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 Malachi Davis, who opted 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:
Western Kentucky Moneyline 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, then lost head coach Charles Huff to Memphis. Western Kentucky lost 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 will win in 67% of simulations. Bet on college football at FanDuel, where new users receive $250 in bonus bets with a $5 winning bet:
UNLV -6.5 vs. Ohio
The Rebels went 10-3 this season under Dan Mullen, and he remains with UNLV despite rumors that Michigan’s interest was swirling. Meanwhile, Ohio fired head coach Brian Smith for good reason after a scandal broke 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 part of why the model says they cover the spread in 56 percent of simulations.
