Bet of the day.
I like Penn State -2.5 at Northwestern.
My model clears that exact number about 68% of the time. My model has Penn State winning by about 8 or 9 points, so laying just 2.5 is the short number.
I pulled the Prem grades: Penn State 95.3 overall and 92.1 on defense (coverage 94.0). Northwestern sits at 81.7 overall and 70.0 on defense (coverage 74.4). Offense snap totals sit at Penn State 270 and Northwestern 192.

I like Chris Olave OVER 84.5 receiving yards vs Atlanta.
My model clears that line about 75% of the time (mean around 125 yards).
He is at 125 yards per game on about 12 targets and 44 routes a game as New Orleans WR1 with about a 29% target share. Atlanta ranks 32nd allowing WR yards and is without Terrell, so that secondary has been soft against wide receivers. Atlanta sits in single high about 65% of the time, and he averages 2.79 yards per route against single high. They also mix in man around 30% of snaps, and that is where those windows open for him. This volume plus matchup is why I am locked in on the Over.

I like Travis Kelce OVER 48.5 receiving yards vs Las Vegas.
My model clears that line about 72% of the time (mean around 77 yards).
He is at 77 yards per game on 6 targets and 29 routes a game. Kansas City play action with Walker opens short and intermediate windows for him, and Las Vegas has been soft against tight ends.

I like Jordan Love OVER 35.5 pass attempts at Tampa Bay.
My model clears that line about 71% of the time (mean around 41 attempts).
He is at 41.3 attempts and 44.3 dropbacks a game. Tampa Bay's run front is tough, so Green Bay leans on quick throws and screens, and that script pushes attempt volume up. Shoutout to Tampa Bay starter A'shawn Robinson up front: heavy run snaps, run defense grade 83.8 with 7 stops. Absolute beast in that run front.
