College football betting: Notre Dame, Missouri worth playing

Week 5 of the assemblage shot play is here, and Wes Reynolds has 3 of his favourite bets connected the committee below. For a deeper dive featuring further plays and analysis, caput to the VSiN website. Wes sees a batch that helium likes this week.

Notre Dame/North Carolina nether 47

The Fighting Irish presently fertile No. 1 successful the federation defensively, lone allowing 199.3 yards per game. They besides fertile 2nd successful points allowed (8.3 points per game). The Notre Dame halt portion has besides amassed 10 sacks successful the past 2 games.

Meanwhile, North Carolina is disconnected its 2nd bye of the season. After each the atrocious quality disconnected the tract this summer, the Tar Heels person started 2-1 and could beryllium 3-0 but fto the crippled astatine Clemson get distant aft a agelong lightning delay.

UNC, for its portion defensively, is lone allowing 13.7 points per crippled (20th nationally). Bill Belichick has had 2 weeks to hole against a Notre Dame discourtesy that has been a spot pedestrian and ranks successful the bottommost 3rd nationally for moving the ball.

Rain is besides expected successful the forecast with, you guessed it, imaginable lightning delays.

Missouri +6 vs. Florida

Florida was 1 of our champion bets past week, and they looked similar a apical 10 squad that was perchance undervalued. The Gators passed past week’s trial with flying colors arsenic they defeated No. 4 Ole Miss, 52-28, arsenic Jadan Baugh (29 carries, 142 yards, 3 touchdowns) and Duke Clark (12-126-1) ran each implicit the Ole Miss defense.

Now the Gators person jumped 13 spots successful the polls to No. 8 and instrumentality to the roadworthy to look No. 25 Missouri, who had Mississippi State connected the ropes past week successful Starkville earlier falling 31-24.

The betting nationalist and media that seemed to beryllium disbelievers and cynics of Florida are present each of a abrupt connected committee arsenic the Gators are present -150 to marque the College Football Playoff.

Meanwhile, Mizzou has been the “how are they inactive ranked” squad each week. Transfer QB Austin Simmons has been solid, but the Tigers’ moving crippled has struggled a spot without Ahmad Hardy.

Florida has lived connected the moving crippled with Georgia Tech transportation QB Aaron Philo not having to bash excessively much. Philo whitethorn not beryllium capable to bash overmuch present with the passing game, arsenic receivers Vernell Brown III, Bailey Stockton, and Eric Singleton Jr. are questionable to play Saturday.

The Missouri unreserved defence has been coagulated and lone allows astir 100 yards per game. The Tigers volition surely effort to cheat up into the container and marque Philo beryllium that helium tin bushed them with his arm.

Mizzou caput manager Eli Drinkwitz is 10-4-1 ATS successful his vocation arsenic a location underdog.

This looks similar a bully clip to possibly not wholly merchantability disconnected Florida, but astatine slightest a fewer shares of its stock.

Eastern Michigan +6 astatine Massachusetts

UMass is 4-0 and has already surpassed its play wins total. The Minutemen are surely reasoning astir making their archetypal vessel crippled arsenic an FBS program. They past played a vessel crippled successful the 1972 Boardwalk Bowl, which was a crippled reserved for teams successful the NCAA College Subdivision (now D-II, D-III).

After going winless successful the MAC (and overall) successful its archetypal league play successful 2025, UMass won its archetypal MAC league crippled past week astatine Sacramento State. Now they are successful a comparatively caller (taking retired FCS Stonehill and Sacred Heart) relation arsenic a location favorite. Eastern Michigan has historically been a bully roadworthy underdog nether Chris Creighton (36-24-1 ATS). The Eagles are besides 21-7 ATS arsenic an distant underdog successful MAC league games.

EMU has already played a substantially tougher schedule, having to question to Michigan State and Wisconsin.

The Minutemen are 1 of FBS’s champion stories truthful acold this season, but they person to beryllium they tin screen arsenic favorites implicit league opponents.
