Dan Karpuc: Duke ML (+180, FanDuel)

Remember that time that Duke had a huge primetime game and came out with a dominant victory? That was in their home opener against Clemson, when they embarrassed the Tigers, 28-7. Since then, the Blue Devils have combined to beat Lafayette, Northwestern and UConn by the combined score of 121-28. Duke QB Riley Leonard is the real deal and there are underrated athletes on both sides of the football for the Blue Devils. Sure, Notre Dame started 4-0 and played 59 minutes of great football against Ohio State last week, but they ultimately lost in brutal fashion on the final play of the game. The Fighting Irish could come into this one very upset from that defeat, but I love what I’ve seen from Duke and expect them to defend their home field. You can get +180 odds on this over at FanDuel!

Kate Constable: South Florida ML (+155, DraftKings)

Navy has a tough time reaching the end zone. I’m no rocket scientist, but it’s hard to win a football game when you don’t score points. The offense is the 11th-worst in the country, averaging just 17.0 points per game. The Midshipmen have a solid run game, though, averaging 223.3 rushing yards per game. However, that’s where the Bulls excel defensively, giving up just 88.0 yards on the ground per game. If South Florida can contain the run, the Bulls' high-flying offense should have no issue putting up enough points to pull the upset. This line is moving in favor of South Florida, so quickly head over to DraftKings to lock in the best price at +155 before it moves even more! This is also a great spot for any no-sweat bets from the offer below!

Matt Horner: Auburn ML (+500, BetRivers)

Maybe I am totally insane here, but I think that the home-team Tigers have a decent shot to pull off a huge upset over the defending champs. Quite honestly, I have not been all that impressed with what I have seen out of either team, but the +500 I’m getting with Auburn piques the interest far more than any bet on Georgia. The Bulldogs haven’t covered a single spread all season, going 0-4 ATS to this point. Now they are on the road for the first time this year in a very hostile environment with a new quarterback in Carson Beck, whom I have my doubts about. They managed to beat their only other real opponent this season (South Carolina) by 10 points at home as -26.5 point favorites. I think at 5-to-1, Auburn is worth a sprinkle; this would be a great spot for your first, no-sweat bet at BetRivers using the offer below!

Brad Pinkerton: Ole Miss ML (+120, DraftKings)

This might be the best game of the weekend, and I think LSU could be in for a fight at Mississippi. DraftKings is also offering a 50% profit boost for any bet on this game, so I'm using it to take Ole Miss ML +120 up to +180, but you could also use the boost on Ole Miss' first-half moneyline at +110 (boosted to +165) if you want to bank on a strong start from the Rebels. Either way, I think Ole Miss can pull this upset and deserves a little more sprinkled on the full-game moneyline even without the boost.

Lucy Burdge: Hawaii ML (+300, BetMGM)

Hawaii should carry plenty of momentum into this game after their comeback win over New Mexico State last week. UNLV and Hawaii battle for the Golden Pineapple trophy, and Hawaii is going to do everything it can to make sure it remains with them. In their last matchup last season, Hawaii won 31-25 and I think they will win once again and keep the Golden Pineapple.
