Demon Deacons lose by 17 or less, or win
Spread: the points they have to cover.
Ticket WAKE +17.5
Both teams are 1-0, and ESPN's predictor gives Vanderbilt about 90%. That win chance does not automatically clear 17.5 points in November, so take Wake Forest and the points.

156 or fewer total points
Total: both sides' scores added together.
Ticket Under 156.5
Florida is a massive home favorite with ESPN's predictor near 99%, and early-season blowouts often stay slower than a 156.5 total once the bench empties. Moneyline is off, so the total is the clean ticket.

Ticket Under 150.5
Duke is about a 99.5% favorite per ESPN with Coastal Carolina at 0-1, and the moneyline is off. A 40.5-point spread points to a managed home win more than a 150-point track meet.

Spread: the points they have to cover.
Ticket TOL +27.5
Michigan State is 1-0 and ESPN's predictor sits near 97%, but 27.5 is a huge early-season number. Taking Toledo and the points is safer than laying that many with thin November samples.

Ticket Under 155.5
Texas is a near-lock per ESPN's 99.6% predictor and the moneyline is off at 40.5 points. Big November mismatches often settle once the starters sit, which supports the under.

Ticket Under 172.5
Illinois is about a 98% favorite with the moneyline off, and 172.5 is a sky-high early-season total. Prefer the under rather than guessing how far a 30.5-point favorite rolls.

Spread: the points they have to cover.
Ticket BCU +29.5
Texas Tech is 1-0 and ESPN's predictor is near 99%, but Bethune-Cookman only needs to keep it inside three touchdowns. A 29.5 spread is a lot to lay in week one of real games.

Ticket CP +30.5
