It’s crazy how fast this season is flying, as we are already a month plus into the season. As we slowly start to enter conference play, these games matter so much more. College Football Week Four should give us yet another slate of fun, yet very meaningful games.
Here are my plays for the College Football Week Four action.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.
Thursday
Rice -2.5 (-105)
I just think Rice is the overall better team compared to Charlotte. I also like that the line under three points. Due to both of those factors, I am taking that.
Saturday
Georgia Tech -22.5 (-112)
While I think there might be a bit of a slow start for Georgia Tech after the big win last week, they just should be able to roll over Temple as the game goes on. The only issue is if they take the pedal off the gas at the end of the game. If they do not do that, I see Tech being able to cover and win big.
Florida State -44.5 (-115)
This is very similar to Georgia Tech. If Florida State keeps their foot on the gas, this should be a no contest and they should cover easy. If Florida State decides to go slower in the second half, there is always a chance that the back door might get us.
Illinois +6.5 (-110)
I like getting any number that is over +3.5 points and above. I feel like this is a game that could come down to the final drive, or at least at the minimum will be within one score. These two teams are not that far apart in my opinion. A loss in this game could mean no college football playoff for either one of these teams. This is a must win game, and I like for Illinois to keep it close, maybe even stealing it on the road. 
West Virginia +14.5 (-130)
I just feel like this number is way too big to be honest. It is a big 12 game and truly anything can happen. I feel like the win last week for West Virginia gave this team a much needed shot of juice in the arm. If they can carry that momentum over here, there should be no issue with them covering the 14 points.
I was also really impressed with what I saw from West Virginia’s defense last week so I’m hoping that’s gonna be a thing that we see the rest of the season. I don’t mine 13.5 points, but +12.5 points or lower I may stay away.
Maryland +10.5 (-122)
I like this number at 10.5 points. If it hits 9.5 points or lower, there’s a good chance I’m probably gonna end up laying off this. I think Maryland can keep it close, but I am a bit nervous that Wisconsin might be able to lean on them and pull away late. If not, I like for Maryland to keep this within 10 points.

We have been close all season to hitting one. At this point, we are due to get a lucky bounce our way soon.

- NC State +3.5 (-132)
- Virginia -9.5 first half (-112)
