Friday Night Lights
Air Force @ San Jose State
Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: CEFCU Stadium (San Jose, CA)
- Date: Friday, September 22nd, 2023
- Kick Off: 10:30pm Eastern
- Broadcast: Fox Sports 1
The Pick: San Jose State +4.5 (-110) Bovada
The Spartans are at home with a great QB in Chevan Cordeiro. They are 1-3 through 4 weeks, but look at their competition.
They went on the road and lost to #6 USC, but still put up 28 points. Then they hosted #18 Oregon State. San Jose State lost again, but put up 17.
They hosted Cal Poly and smacked them 59-3 (as they should've), and then went to Toledo and lost in a close one 21-17, in a game where they led 17-7 and arguably should have one.
Point being, this is a good football team.
Air Force is much less prepared. The Falcons have beat up on Robert Morris (42-7), Sam Houston State (13-3), and Utah State (39-21), with two games at home, and one being on a neutral site, although in the opponent's city.
Regardless, this is Air Force's first true road test, and I love the Spartans to keep it within a field goal at home.
Don't be surprised when they win outright.
Sprinkle SJSU ML (+170) Bovada.
Saturday NCAA Football Best Bets
Arkansas @ #12 LSU
Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: Tiger Stadium (Baton Rouge, LA)
- Date: Saturday, September 23rd, 2023
- Kick Off: 7:00pm Eastern
- Broadcast: ESPN
The Pick: Malik Nabers over 83.5 Receiving Yards (-115) Bovada
We bet this guy last game when his line was 73.5, and he ended up with 239.
This weekend, I think he does it again.
Nabers has been Jayden Daniels clear favorite target. They've connected 24 times for 393 yards and 3 TDs in just 3 games. This is four more receptions and over 100 yards more than WR teammate, Brian Thomas Jr.
The Tigers are 18 point favorites at home against a Razorbacks team that allows almost 200 yards in the air per game.
The Tigers will run the ball plenty, but I think Daniels and Nabers connect for something big early.
New Mexico State @ Hawaii
Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex (Honolulu, HI)
- Date: Sunday, September 24th, 2023
- Kick Off: 12:00am Eastern
- Broadcast: Spectrum Sports
The Pick: Hawaii ML (-130) Bovada
I got this number early, and I'll admit, the best number in the market right now is (-150) offered at BetUS, BetOnline, and Bovada.
However if you do not want to pay the juiceman, simply lay the -3 at any of these sites.
It's late night on Saturday, almost midnight on the East Coast, and you remember there's a game on the Island. You gotta back the Rainbow Warriors late night at home.
Hawaii is 1-3 to start the season, but have played the likes of Vanderbilt, Stanford, and @ Oregon. They put up a solid fight against Vandy, but we would've expected more against the other two opponents.
However this New Mexico State team really hasn't played anybody. They lost 41-30 against UMASS and 33-17 on the road against Liberty. They're wins came against Western Illinois at home and against New Mexico, but Hawaii is much tougher competition in my eyes.
Gimme Hawaii to end the college football week on a positive note.
