Week 8 in college football won’t be as good as Week 7, but there are still some solid matchups.
Here’s a look at the college football odds to see who the largest favorites are this weekend.
The betting market expects the Ohio State Buckeyes (6-0) to take care of business in Week 8 against the Iowa Hawkeyes (3-3). Ryan Day’s squad has won each of its last five games by at least 30 points.
The Colorado Buffaloes (1-5) notched their first win of the season and moved to 1-0 under interim coach Mike Sanford. It’s still an uphill climb from here on out, and a trip to Reser Stadium will make it challenging to notch two straight wins.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-3) have already lost as three-score favorites at home twice this season to the Marshall Thundering Herd and, most recently, to the Stanford Cardinal. Marcus Freeman will hope to breathe some life back into his team in a very winnable game.
Brent Brennan’s San Jose State Spartans (4-2) stumbled in Week 7, falling in the Battle for the Valley Trophy. They’ll look to get back on track against the New Mexico State Aggies (2-5).
Nick Saban will not be thrilled with last week’s loss and hopes to rejuvenate his team in time for Week 8. The Crimson Tide strolled into Starkville a year ago and won 49-9 in dominant fashion.
