College Football Week 9 best bets for Halloween Saturday. Four plays on the card: Maryland +2.5 vs Illinois, Rutgers +16.5 vs Michigan, Temple +4.5 at East Carolina and Georgia Southern -5.5 vs App State. Fired-coach spots, a Michigan offense that hasn't topped 21 points outside of UTEP, and a role flip in the American. Plus a side on every TV game, including Georgia vs Florida in Atlanta, Ohio State at USC and Miami at North Carolina. ✅ BEST BETS (Sat 10/31, all times ET) 🏈 Maryland +2.5 vs Illinois (Noon FS1): Maryland fired its coach and comes out of a bye with extra time under the interim guy, off a 5-game losing streak. Illinois is off the Oregon upset, and this is the least impactful game left on its schedule. Shop for +3. 🏈 Rutgers +16.5 vs Michigan (12:30 BTN): Outside of UTEP, Michigan hasn't scored more than 21 points in any game this season. It should be flat off the punishing overtime loss to Indiana, and this is only its second true road game (it lost the first one at Minnesota). Rutgers is off an embarrassing loss, and the total is low. Wait to see if 17 shows up. 🏈 Temple +4.5 at East Carolina (3:00 ESPN+): Temple went into its bye off a loss to Charlotte as a 17.5-point favorite. East Carolina flips roles, from the underdog that took Memphis to overtime in Memphis to the favorite here. 🏈 Georgia Southern -5.5 vs App State (6:30 ESPN+): Georgia Southern is the better team, even though the records say otherwise. Its only conference loss is by 3 to James Madison, and the public won't want to lay points here. Strongest leans (not plays): Georgia -12.5 vs Florida, Auburn +11.5 at Ole Miss, UTEP +24.5 at North Dakota State, North Carolina +14 vs Miami. Other leans: Navy, Texas Tech, Syracuse, Iowa, NC State, Duke, South Florida, Bowling Green, Colorado, Louisville, Arizona State, Oregon, TCU, FIU, Cincinnati, Virginia, Nevada, Oklahoma, Purdue, Iowa State, Clemson, Washington State, USC, Mississippi State, Pitt, Arkansas, Washington, Memphis, Texas State, Northern Illinois, Fresno State. 0:00 Halloween Eve open + Baylor win from the morning show 2:40 CFB Week 9 show starts 3:12 #5 Notre Dame vs Navy (Foxborough) 7:27 #22 Arizona at #13 Texas Tech 10:51 #19 SMU at Syracuse 14:28 #25 Wisconsin at Iowa 17:58 Cal at NC State (fired-coach spot) 21:58 Boston College at Duke 24:22 BEST BET: Illinois at Maryland 30:29 UAB at South Florida 33:25 Bowling Green at Western Michigan 35:38 BEST BET: Michigan at Rutgers 42:05 Auburn at #12 Ole Miss 45:54 Kansas State at Colorado 49:28 BEST BET: Temple at East Carolina 53:40 Stanford at Louisville 56:23 #17 Florida vs #3 Georgia (Atlanta) 1:02:56 Minnesota at #4 Indiana 1:07:30 Arizona State at #8 BYU 1:10:22 #20 Northwestern at Oregon 1:15:01 Hydration break 1:17:25 Kansas at TCU 1:19:40 Colorado State at Utah State 1:23:20 UTEP at North Dakota State 1:28:39 FIU at Liberty 1:30:44 #6 Utah at Cincinnati 1:33:38 Virginia at #14 Wake Forest 1:38:40 New Mexico at San Jose State 1:39:20 Nevada at #7 UCLA 1:41:31 South Carolina at Oklahoma 1:44:32 Purdue at Penn State 1:47:05 BEST BET: App State at Georgia Southern 1:52:05 #24 Oklahoma State at Iowa State 1:53:47 Clemson at Florida State 1:55:40 Washington State at San Diego State 1:58:16 #1 Miami at North Carolina 2:02:21 #2 Ohio State at USC 2:09:38 Mississippi State at #11 Texas 2:12:09 Georgia Tech at Pitt 2:13:26 #23 Missouri at Arkansas 2:15:14 Washington at Nebraska 2:17:27 Army at Memphis 2:19:15 Texas State at #20 Boise State 2:22:05 Northern Illinois at UNLV 2:23:55 Oregon State at Fresno State 2:26:58 Best bets recap + strongest leans 2:28:43 Go-for-2 video + wrap Games covered: Notre Dame vs Navy, Arizona vs Texas Tech, SMU vs Syracuse, Wisconsin vs Iowa, Cal vs NC State, Boston College vs Duke, Illinois vs Maryland, UAB vs South Florida, Bowling Green vs Western Michigan, Michigan vs Rutgers, Auburn vs Ole Miss, Kansas State vs Colorado, Temple vs East Carolina, Stanford vs Louisville, Georgia vs Florida, Minnesota vs Indiana, Arizona State vs BYU, Northwestern vs Oregon, Kansas vs TCU, Colorado State vs Utah State, UTEP vs North Dakota State, FIU vs Liberty, Utah vs Cincinnati, Virginia vs Wake Forest, New Mexico vs San Jose State, Nevada vs UCLA, South Carolina vs Oklahoma, Purdue vs Penn State, App State vs Georgia Southern, Oklahoma State vs Iowa State, Clemson vs Florida State, Washington State vs San Diego State, Miami vs North Carolina, Ohio State vs USC, Mississippi State vs Texas, Georgia Tech vs Pitt, Missouri vs Arkansas, Washington vs Nebraska, Army vs Memphis, Texas State vs Boise State, Northern Illinois vs UNLV, Oregon State vs Fresno State.
