Indiana At Ohio State

The undefeated Hoosiers (10-0), who won 3-games last season, are the story of college football this season under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti. Indiana enters this showdown off a bye and a double-digit underdog to Ohio State (9-1). The spread has been bet down from -12 to -10.5 favoring the Buckeyes. Indiana is No. 1 in the country in scoring margin, but they’ve played a softer schedule. Still, the Hoosiers have been rewarding bettors with an 8-2 against the spread (ATS) mark, which is tied with five other teams for best in the country.

Pro Football Focus provides matchup analysis of Indiana vs. Ohio State, and additional analysis in YouTube previewing the biggest games in college football on Saturday, Nov. 23. While Ohio State has a dominant defense allowing just 251 yards per game at 4.1 yards per play (both No. 2 in country), Indiana is right behind the Buckeyes allowing 270 ypg at 4.2 yppl. Pro Football Focus notes that Indiana marries the coverage with pass rush perhaps the best in the country. Indiana also has PFF’s best offensive grade in the country from Power Four teams, best receiving grade, top-10 pass blocking grade and QB Kurtis Rourke has the best passing grade. Ohio State has the No. 1 defense in college football, per PFF, and top-7 defensive pass coverage grade.

Army vs. Notre Dame

Army (9-0) is shooting for its first undefeated season since 1946. Playbook Sports midweek report provides added support for the Cadet’s No. 1 ranked rushing offense, averaging 330 yards per game vs. FBS opponents. The Black Knights allow just 10.8 points per game and 273 yards per game. Notre Dame (9-1) also has a dominant defense allowing 11.3 points per game and 277 yards per game. Army is one of only three FBS teams to win the stats in every game they’ve played this season.

BYU at Arizona State

BYU (9-1) suffered their first loss of the season last week vs. Kansas, 17-13. But the Cougars are 6-1 in Big 12 play and still control their destiny to the Big 12 championship game, along with Colorado (6-1). Arizona State (8-2) is 5-2 in conference play and on a 3-0 SU/ATS run ahead of this game in Tempe and next week’s rivalry game vs. Arizona in Tucson. The Sun Devils are also 5-0 SU/ATS at home, but statistically don’t warrant their high stock and 8-2 ATS mark overall with a +0.7 net yards per play margin to BYU’s +1.2.

Friday, Nov. 29

  • Georgia Tech at Georgia (-20.5)

Saturday, Nov. 30

  • NC State at North Carolina (-5.5)
  • Duke (-3.5) at Wake Forest
