College Football Betting: Week 4
The fourth week of the college football betting season has the top team in the land as a big favorite, and the schools just below it in the polls stuck in tough matchups. Here's a look at the contests and betting lines for the ranked schools this week . . .
Missouri at No. 1 Oklahoma
Oklahoma retained its No. 1 ranking in the AP Top 25 this week by holding off Florida State in a 23-13 road victory over the weekend. The oddsmakers at 5Dimes expect them to have an easier time against Missouri this week, as they're 21.5-point favorites
No. 2 LSU at No. 16 West Virginia
The Tigers will be playing their third ranked team in four weeks when they battle West Virginia as 5-point road favorites on Saturday. LSU jumped into the No. 2 position in the AP Poll with a 19-6 win on the road against Mississippi State over the weekend.
No. 14 Arkansas at No. 3 Alabama
Alabama dropped from No. 2 to No. 3 in the AP Poll despite trouncing North Texas 41-0 in their Week 3 contest. They'll get a big test on Saturday as a 12.5-point home favorite when they welcome another undefeated SEC team, Arkansas, to their house.
Tulsa at No. 4 Boise State
The Broncos returned from a one-week layoff to bounce Toledo 40-15 last week, as QB Kellen Moore burned the Rockets for five touchdown strikes. Boise State will finally play its home opener on Saturday as a big favorite on the 5Dimes football lines.
South Dakota at No. 6 Wisconsin
The Badgers have rolled to 51-17 (UNLV), 35-0 (Oregon State), and 49-7 (Northern Illinois) victories through the first three weeks of the season, and they could top those winning margins this week when they host the Great West's South Dakota Coyotes.
No. 7 Oklahoma State at No. 8 Texas A&M
Oklahoma State and Texas A&M both moved up one spot in the AP Top 25 this week, with the Cowboys coming off a 59-33 win over Tulsa and the Aggies beating Idaho 37-7 on the weekend. At 5Dimes Texas A&M is a small 3-point favorite for Saturday.
No. 9 Nebraska at Wyoming
Nebraska and Wyoming are both 3-0 on the season, but the Big Ten's Cornhuskers are pegged as 23-point road favorites over the Mountain West's Cowboys. Nebraska poured on the offense over the weekend in their 51-38 home victory over Washington.
No. 10 Oregon (-14) at Arizona
Oregon lost its opener 40-27 to LSU, and since then has throttled Nevada and Missouri State by a combined 125-27 margin. The Ducks head back out onto the road for their game against Arizona this week, and they're the 14-point favorites at 5Dimes.
