College Football Week 7 Expert Betting Picks

Austin Swaim

Spread/Moneyline: TCU Moneyline (-126)

Total: UCLA-Michigan State Over 54.5 Points (-110)

A pair of sleeper quarterbacks in the 2026 draft will square off in East Lansing with a chance to shine. Including last week's upset of Penn State, Nico Iamaleava has completed north of 70.0% of his throws and run for 96.5 yards per game since the UCLA Bruins' coaching shift. Aiden Chiles' 76.0 QBR (28th in FBS) is a massive step forward, and the Michigan State Spartans are quietly averaging 32.8 PPG. As both square off against each others' respective bottom-40 pass defenses (on a YPA basis), this game could contain fireworks that seemed pretty unlikely when we saw this matchup on the schedule during the summer.

Player Prop: Emmanuel Henderson Jr. Over 63.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Riley Thomas

Spread/Moneyline: Georgia -3.5 (-114)

Total: Florida-Texas A&M Under 47.5 (-110)

Player Prop: Devon Dampier Over 50.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

Saturday's matchup between the Arizona State Sun Devils and Utah Utes could be messy with rain and wind gusts in the forecast. This should cater to the run, and Utah QB Devon Dampier has logged double-digit rushing attempts in four of five games. After posting 11.7 carries per game over his last three games, Dampier could be bound for over 50.5 rushing yards with Arizona State ranking 112th in EPA per rushing attempt allowed (via Game On Paper).

Skyler Carlin

Spread/Moneyline: San Diego State -7.5 (-110)

The 4-1 San Diego State Aztecs can lean on their defense in Saturday's clash against the 1-4 Nevada Wolf Pack, who are 122nd in offensive success rate (37.4%) and 106th in defensive success rate (43.3%) entering Week 7. Along with San Diego State's defense being 10th in success rate (32.9%) and 15th in EPA per play allowed (-0.17), they are 4-1 against the spread (ATS) this season (compared to Nevada being 0-2 ATS at home).

Total: Wisconsin Under 16.5 Points (-104)

Player Prop: Chris Brazzell II Over 80.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
