Odds by way of Caesars Sportsbook | All instances Jap
Featured Recreation | Michigan State Spartans vs. Western Michigan Broncos
7 p.m. | ESPN, fuboTV (Strive without cost) — Michigan State was an entertaining group to look at final season as a result of it had an explosive offense with an amazing playmaker in Kenneth Walker, and it mixed it with a secondary that could not cowl anyone. Walker’s gone, however the offense ought to nonetheless be capable to transfer the ball in opposition to the Broncos, and most of that secondary stays intact. There are additionally new transfers on the defensive aspect of the ball, and there could possibly be some issues as that unit gels within the first recreation of the season. Sparty would possibly get 45 by itself. Decide: Over 54.5 — Tom Fornelli
Featured Recreation | Outdated Dominion Monarchs vs. Virginia Tech Hokies
7 p.m. | ESPNU, fuboTV (Strive without cost) — After successful its ultimate 5 regular-season video games final 12 months to qualify for a bowl recreation, Outdated Dominion brings again ample beginning expertise for Yr 3 of the Ricky Rahne period. Virginia Tech is enjoying its first recreation beneath new coach Brent Pry, and this does not appear to be an immediate rebuild. Contemplating the Monarchs misplaced by simply 14 on the highway in opposition to the Hokies in 2019 throughout a 1-11 season, they appear like a secure guess to maintain this one shut at residence till the tip now that this system is way more strong footing. Decide: Outdated Dominion +6.5 — David Cobb
Illinois vs. Indiana
Featured Recreation | Indiana Hoosiers vs. Illinois Preventing Illini
8 p.m. | FS1, fuboTV (Strive without cost) — Every group has a bonus it is trying to exploit on this recreation. Indiana has not introduced its beginning QB and has new coordinators. This implies Illinois has not been in a position to put together for this recreation with any certainty of what it should see. Additional, Illinois performed on Saturday final week and needed to put together a recreation plan for Wyoming earlier than turning round on a brief week to play a highway recreation in opposition to the Hoosiers. In the meantime, Indiana has been in a position to put together for Illinois the entire offseason and now has recreation movie it may well dissect. In fact, what Illinois has going for it’s that it has a recreation beneath its belt. It will be fascinating to see how that impacts the sport. I haven’t got a superb learn for the way this one will go, however my intestine tells me that neither group blows the opposite out of the water, so taking the factors with the Illini is essentially the most enticing possibility. Prediction: Illinois +3 — Tom Fornelli
TCU vs. Colorado
Featured Recreation | Colorado Buffaloes vs. TCU Horned Frogs
10 p.m. | ESPN, fuboTV (Strive without cost) — The Horned Frogs enter a brand new period beneath coach Sonny Dykes, however do not anticipate too many pace bumps in his debut. Colorado misplaced seven video games by two touchdowns or extra in 2021, and it in all probability would not have any solutions for what ought to by a dynamic passing recreation headlined by potential first-round receiver Quentin Johnston. TCU will play it secure and journey its talent expertise to a blowout victory. Decide: TCU -8 — Shehan Jeyarajah
