SMU -2.5 vs. Baylor (-120)
SMU got off to a strong start last week with a 42-13 rout of FCS East Texas A&M, and it gets to play a second straight home game this week. Fifth-year senior wide receiver Romello Brinson had 121 receiving yards and a touchdown, which was his fourth score in three seasons at SMU. Baylor’s defense gave up 137 rushing yards to Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold, and SMU quarterback Kevin Jennings ran for 354 yards and five touchdowns last season for the Mustangs. The model has SMU covering the spread 72% of the time in a double-digit win.
Over 49.5 in Missouri vs. Kansas (-110)
Kansas has already picked up a pair of wins this season, scoring a combined 77 points against Fresno State and Wagner. Jayhawks quarterback Jalon Daniels completed 36 of 45 passes for 456 yards and seven touchdowns in those two games. Daniels also rushed for 65 yards, so he is going to be difficult for Missouri to slow down. The Tigers have an elite offense of their own, which they showcased in a 61-6 win over Central Arkansas in Week 1. These teams are combining for 61 points in the model’s simulations, with the Over cashing 72% of the time.
Michigan +5 vs. Oklahoma (-110)
Michigan is coming off a 17-point win over New Mexico in its season opener, as running back Justice Haynes ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns. Star freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood was able to ease into his college career, giving him some valuable reps heading into the first road start of his career. Oklahoma was without two starters on the offensive line last week, and Cal transfer running back Jaydn Ott had just one carry after missing most of the preseason due to injury. SportsLine’s model expects this game to come down to the wire, as Michigan is covering the spread in 62% of simulations.
