Rice +9 vs. Houston

SVP mentions that Rice needs to stay away from “Bad Beats”, and cover this nine points against Houston.

Arkansas State +5.5 vs. Memphis

5.5-point underdogs to Memphis? No problem, says SVP as he likes Arkansas State this week.

Arkansas +7 vs. Texas

All time, SVP is 6-2 picking Arkansas. He is doing it again this week against Texas, who are touchdown favorites.

Missouri +5.5 vs. Kentucky

These odds are far too low for Missouri, as SVP says this should be closer to a touchdown.

Appalachian State +9 vs. Miami

Bama hangover? Even after a big loss, SVP likes App State to cover against the U.

Washington +7 vs. Michigan

Washington lost against Montana last week, but SVP is still taking Washington at +7.
