NFL Week 9 Monday Night Football Video Prop – Bills vs Vikings

College Football Week 10 Saturday Super Plays – West Virginia vs Texas Tech – Georgia vs Ole Miss

West Virginia vs Texas Tech -16.5 O/U 65.5

 

🏈 West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Preview

📍 Location: Jones AT&T Stadium (Lubbock, TX)
📅 Big 12 Showdown
📺 ESPN

🔥 Game Snapshot

This matchup features two teams headed in opposite directions analytically.

🔴 Texas Tech (7-1) enters as one of the Big 12’s most efficient teams, ranking 25th nationally in Adjusted EPA/Play (+0.17) and owning a 77% win probability according to Game on Paper’s model.

🟡 West Virginia (5-3) has struggled defensively despite a productive offense, ranking just 77th in Adjusted EPA/Play (-0.03) and carrying one of the worst defensive efficiency profiles in FBS.


📊 Advanced Metrics Edge

Metric West Virginia Texas Tech
Adj EPA/Play -0.03 (#77) +0.17 (#25)
Net EPA/Play -0.08 (#102) +0.10 (#31)
Success Rate Margin -6.8% (#128) +4.8% (#29)
Yards/Play Margin -1.47 (#121) +0.51 (#43)

 

What it means:

✅ Texas Tech consistently wins downs.
✅ Texas Tech generates explosive plays while limiting them defensively.
❌ West Virginia allows offenses to stay on schedule far too often.


⚔️ When West Virginia Has The Ball

⭐ QB Michael Hawkins Jr.

  • 1,443 passing yards
  • 824 rushing yards
  • 23 total TDs
  • 0.18 EPA/dropback
  • 0.36 EPA/rush

Hawkins is the engine of the Mountaineer offense and creates problems with designed QB runs.

Key Matchup

🏃 WVU rushing attack vs. Texas Tech front seven.

Texas Tech’s defense ranks:

  • Top 20 nationally against the run by EPA allowed (-0.09 EPA/Rush)
  • Allows opponents just 42.2% Available Yards Rate

 

👉 If Texas Tech forces Hawkins into obvious passing situations, the Red Raiders gain a huge advantage.


⚔️ When Texas Tech Has The Ball

⭐ RB J’Koby Williams

  • 723 rushing yards
  • 0.15 EPA/Rush
  • 5 TDs

⭐ WR Kenny Johnson

  • 53 catches
  • 472 yards
  • 0.56 EPA per target

The biggest concern for WVU:

🚨 Their defense ranks near the bottom of FBS in several categories:

  • Defensive Success Rate: #130
  • Pass Success Defense: #136
  • Defensive EPA/Drive: #131

Texas Tech doesn’t need to be explosive every snap. Sustained drives should be enough against a Mountaineer defense that struggles to get off the field.

❌ L vs Oklahoma State

Texas Tech

✅ W vs Arizona
❌ L at Cincinnati
✅ W vs Arizona State
✅ W at Colorado
✅ W vs Sam Houston


🔑 Three Keys To The Game

1️⃣ Contain Hawkins

If Texas Tech keeps WVU under 200 rushing yards, the Mountaineers could be in trouble.

2️⃣ Win Early Downs

Texas Tech owns a top-40 Early Down EPA profile while WVU’s defense ranks near the bottom nationally.

3️⃣ Red Zone Efficiency

West Virginia can move the ball, but settling for field goals won’t keep pace with a Red Raider offense that’s been efficient all season.


🎯 X-Factor

⚡ Michael Hawkins Jr.

He’s the best athlete on the field and can erase bad plays with his legs. If he turns broken plays into explosive gains, WVU can keep this game competitive.


🏆 Prediction

  • If there is a flat spot on Tech’s schedule, it is probably this week.
  • The Red Raiders are in a bit of a let down spot after a huge comeback win against Arizona.
  • Looking at the numbers, this Tech team isn’t what we were used to seeing last year.   They already had to make a quarterback change to Tommy Castellanos, and he is throwing at a dismal 48.2% completion this year.
  • The Raiders are not just in a let down spot, they also have a solid Oklahoma State team on tech.   
  • What we know about West Virginia is that they can run the ball quite well at 4.81 yards per rush.  Tech’s defense only ranks 28th in opponent rush EPA.
  • Another big thing to me is that the Mountaineers are coming off of the bye.  They have won two games in a row against Cincinnati and TCU.  I think they keep this within two TDs.

West Virginia +16.5 – 2 stars

🏈 #2 Georgia Bulldogs vs #12 Ole Miss Rebels Preview

📍 Vaught-Hemingway Stadium (Oxford, MS)
📺 ABC
🔥 One of the biggest games of the SEC season.

This matchup is fascinating because the betting market likes Georgia, but several advanced-metric models see this game as much closer than the rankings suggest. Georgia enters 7-1, while Ole Miss sits 6-2 and has already proven it can beat elite competition.


📊 Advanced Metrics Snapshot

Metric Georgia Ole Miss
Adjusted EPA/Play +0.21 (#20) +0.20 (#22)
Success Rate Margin +9.8% (#8) +5.7% (#24)
Yards/Play Margin +2.54 (#2) +0.47 (#44)
Offensive Success Rate 49.7% (#15) 48.5% (#25)
Defensive Success Rate 40.0% (#24) 42%+ (middle tier)

What it Means 🧠

✅ Georgia has been the more dominant team statistically.

✅ The Bulldogs rank#2 nationally in yards-per-play margin and own one of the nation’s most efficient offenses.

⚠️ Ole Miss is closer than the rankings indicate, especially offensively, where QB Trinidad Chambliss has become one of the SEC’s most dangerous playmakers.


⚔️ When Georgia Has The Ball

⭐ QB Gunner Stockton

  • 1,366+ passing yards
  • 14 TDs
  • 0.30 EPA/dropback

⭐ RB Dwight Phillips Jr.

  • 0.18 EPA/rush
  • Key piece of Georgia’s balanced attack

⭐ WR Talyn Taylor

  • 0.73 EPA per catch opportunity

Georgia’s offense has been incredibly efficient:

🏃 200 rushing yards per game

🎯 251 passing yards per game

🔥 41.0 points per game

Key Matchup

🐶 Georgia run game vs Rebel front seven.

Ole Miss has been vulnerable defensively, allowing:

  • 24.0 points per game
  • 384 yards per game
  • 0.11 PPA allowed per play

If Georgia establishes the run early, the Bulldogs can control tempo and keep the Rebel offense watching from the sideline.


⚔️ When Ole Miss Has The Ball

⭐ QB Trinidad Chambliss

One of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the country:

  • 1,940+ passing yards
  • 16 TD passes
  • 6 rushing TDs
  • 0.17 EPA/dropback

⭐ WR Deuce Alexander

  • 63 receptions
  • 624 receiving yards
  • 0.54 EPA/play

Why Georgia Fans Should Be Nervous 😬

The Bulldogs were just exposed by Auburn’s quarterback run game in their recent upset loss. Ole Miss features another dual-threat QB capable of creating similar problems.Georgia’s defense ranks well nationally, but Chambliss stresses defenses with both his arm and legs.


📈 Recent Form

Georgia

✅ Florida 27-8
❌ Auburn 27-24
✅ Alabama 20-17
✅ Vanderbilt 38-14
✅ Oklahoma 41-13

Ole Miss

✅ Auburn 45-15
❌ Texas 34-27
✅ Missouri 31-3
✅ Vanderbilt 52-17
❌ Florida 52-28


🔑 Three Keys To The Game

1️⃣ Contain Chambliss

If Ole Miss gets explosive QB runs, Georgia’s defense could have another long night.

2️⃣ Georgia’s Third-Down Dominance

Georgia converts 56.3% of third and fourth downs, one of the best marks in the nation.

3️⃣ Win The Possession Battle

Ole Miss wants tempo 🚀

Georgia wants long, physical drives 🐶

Whichever team dictates pace gains a huge edge.


💥 X-Factor

⭐ Gunner Stockton

Ole Miss will devote resources to stopping Georgia’s rushing attack.

If Stockton wins downfield with play-action, Georgia can turn a close game into a two-score lead quickly.


📊 Prediction

Georgia vs Ole Miss -3.5 O/U 56.5

  • What did Ole Miss do to become a dog like this at home against Georgia?  
  • I get it.  Ole Miss doesn’t have a good rush Defense ranking 67th in opponent yards per rush while Georgia ranks 4th in yards per rush.   
  • This is all true, but Ole Miss tends to tighten up at the goal line ranking 35th in Red zone scoring percentage to Georgia ranking 101st.
  • Ole Miss has had a much harder schedule than Georgia ranking 4th in Sagarin to Georgia’s ranking 39th.   Georgia has one top 20 win at Alabama where the refs clearly missed a terrible pass interference penalty.
  • If Ole Miss has something, it is a great passing game under Trinidad Chambliss ranking 19th in success rate and 27th in EPA against teams like LSU, Texas, Missouri, Louisville, and at Florida.  This make the backdoor wide open to keep this game close.
  • I think that even though this is a so called revenge spot for Georgia, Ole Miss knows that their playoff hopes lie on this game.  They will bring it and make it close if not win it outright.

Ole Miss +3.5 – 2 stars

Andrew’s Week 10 College Football Best Bets

🍺 Weekly Recap

Not too shabby — I managed to sneak out a 2–1 week, pushing Best Bets to a shiny 14–6–1. I absolutely got bamboozled by Illinois rolling out Katin Houser; I thought he was cooked for sure. Even with that curveball, Maryland had every chance to cover. The fired‑coach bump was there… just not quite enough to drag us over the number. A half‑point short — the gambler’s allergy.

As much as that loss stings, Wake Forest was a rocking‑chair winner yet again. Five straight covers, all of them sweat‑free. If you want to get rich, wake up and bet the Deacs — it’s practically a savings account at this point.

I didn’t catch much of the Lobos game because I still have no idea what in the hell Mountain West+ is supposed to be, but that was the perfect spot to fade UNM. They’re a great story, but it’s hard to imagine them covering many double‑digit spreads going forward. That team is built to win, not blow people out.

Oklahoma State Cowboys (5-3, 6-2 ATS) at Kansas State Wildcats (4-4, 3-4-1 ATS)

Location: Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, KS

Date: Saturday, November 7th, 2026

Time: 1:00 PM EST

Channel: TNT

Opening Line: -5.5

Current Line: -6.5

Analysis: The Cowboys’ Big 12 title hopes took a huge hit last week when they fell on the road to Iowa State, but I still think Oklahoma State has some juice left in the tank. One thing I know for sure: this offense travels. They can move the ball anywhere, and they’ve proven it repeatedly.

Kansas State, on the other hand, has dropped four of their last five and will once again be without starting quarterback Avery Johnson. Nothing about this offense suggests things are suddenly going to turn around for the Wildcats. They’re banged up, they’re inconsistent, and they’re leaning on a backup in a matchup where they need every edge they can get.

The weather shouldn’t be much of a factor, and with this line sitting just under the key number of seven, I’ll happily take future first‑round pick Drew Mestemaker laying less than a touchdown against a backup QB. Don’t expect this to be some low‑scoring slog — both teams can score — but expect the Pokes to come out on top and control this game when it matters.

Pick: Oklahoma State (-6.5) or better

Delaware Blue Hens (4–4,  5-3 ATS) at Kennesaw State Owls (2–6, 5-3 ATS)

Location: Walens Family Field at Fifth Third Stadium — Kennesaw, GA

Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026

Time: 3:00 PM ET

Channel: ESPN+

Opening Line: Del -3

Current Line: Del -1.5

Analysis: Does it scare me that money is coming in on the Owls? Sure it does. And do I know why I’m out here betting Conference USA games on a Saturday? I don’t — but I can give you two words that explain everything: Nick Minicucci.

Since his return two weeks ago, this Delaware offense has been absolutely humming. There’s no debate about who the best player in CUSA is — he plays quarterback for the Blue Hens, and he’s the kind of guy who single‑handedly drags a team into shootouts. I’m a sucker for offense, and Minicucci is the exact type of quarterback you want your money behind when things get chaotic.

And in the same vein as the last game: if we’re headed for a Saturday shootout, then give me the team with the best quarterback and let’s go get this money. Kennesaw can be feisty, but Delaware has the firepower, the rhythm, and the guy under center who can actually win you a bet.

Pick: Del (-1.5) or better

Air Force Falcons (6-2, 5-3 ATS) @ Army Black Knights (5-3, 3-4-1 ATS)

Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026

Time: 7:30 PM ET

Channel: CBS

Opening Line: Army -6

Current Line: Army -4

Analysis: I don’t know how they do it, but week after week Air Force trots out a different quarterback and it’s just next man up like nothing happened. They lose a starter, plug in another guy, and the machine keeps humming. The real way to beat Air Force is through the air — you have to threaten them vertically and force them out of their comfort zone — and this week they’re facing an Army team that does almost none of that.

It’s hard to quantify what this rivalry means to the service academies. The emotion, the tradition, the physicality — it all shows up in these games, and it always tightens the margins. That’s why this number feels a little too long given the situation. Air Force fell by four last year, I think the Falcons can stay inside this number, and honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if they made a real push to capture the Commander‑in‑Chief Trophy for the first time since 2022. Army will scrap, but Air Force has the better roster, the steadier identity, and the kind of resilience that travels.
