Ole Miss +3 (+102) at Florida
Model: Ole Miss 28, Florida 27
Florida's O is real (54 ppg, 8th in PPA). But Elo has a 191-pt gap for the Rebels, and FPI has Ole Miss 13th vs Florida 16th.
A key number plus juice on a one-point game.
Research, not betting advice.
Texas A&M +8.5 at LSU
Model: LSU 26, A&M 25
Line opened LSU -3. We didn't chase it.
- Elo has A&M higher (1824 vs 1786)
- FPI has LSU by 4.6, not 8.5
- 2025 SP+: A&M 20.7, LSU 10.3
Market is pricing the Clemson blowout. Need A&M within 8.
Penn State -9.5 vs Wisconsin
Model: PSU 33, Wisconsin 15. 91% win prob.
That's a 17.8-pt margin against a 9.5 number.
Wisconsin's stuff rate is 9.1%, 138th in FBS. PSU runs 58% of the time.
If you only play one, play this one.
Vanderbilt +9.5 at Auburn
Model: Auburn by 1.6. A 7.9-pt edge.
- Elo: Vandy 1742, Auburn 1668
- 2025 SP+: Vandy 20.3 (#11), Auburn 11.6 (#29)
- Auburn's offense is 83rd in PPA
- Auburn gave up 44 at home last week
A 27–24 loss cashes.
Iowa ML (+180) at Michigan
Model: Iowa 24, Michigan 23
Iowa's D is #1 in the country:
- Def PPA -0.25 (1st)
- Opp success 24.1% (1st)
- 4.3 ppg allowed
Michigan's offense is 70th in PPA. Elo has Iowa 1841–1735. Plus money on a pick'em.
Missouri ML (+195) at Miss State
Model: Mizzou 53%, 28–27
Books: about 32%
Line moved from -1.5 to -6.5. SP+ (15.0 vs 12.0), Elo (1690 vs 1663), and 2025 SP+ (14.4 vs 4.1) all lean Mizzou.
Mizzou's D is 5th in havoc (25.4%). Paid 2-to-1 on a coin flip.
Week 4 Best Bets 🔒
Missouri ML (+195)
Iowa ML (+180)
Vanderbilt +9.5
Penn State -9.5
Texas A&M +8.5
Ole Miss +3 (+102)
6 locks, 0 leans. The model has Mizzou and Iowa as 53% sides, and the books are paying like they're 32%.
Week 3: 3–2–1, +1.1u
Write ups Down Below
Ohio State lost to Texas and is still No. 1.
Vanderbilt is in. A top-15 SP+ team sits 24th. A 4–0 team can't crack the top 9.
The model explains all of it.

Florida's offense went from +0.04 to +0.68 PPA per pass play under Jon Sumrall.
That's not a typo. That's one of the biggest jumps in the country.
But the number that actually explains the 3–0 start isn't on offense.
Broke down what really changed 👇
