Kickoff: Friday Night
Spread: Nebraska favored by 7.5 points
Tonight’s game between Illinois and Nebraska sets the stage for a thrilling showdown between impressive defenses and dynamic offenses. Illinois’ defense has been formidable, holding opponents to an average of around 20 points per game. However, Nebraska’s Dylan Riola, displaying flashes of Patrick Mahomes-like talent, poses a considerable challenge.
Prediction: Nebraska takes this one in a nail-biter, 30-20.
Kickoff: Saturday
Spread: UNC favored by 10.5 points
James Madison is on upset alert as they travel to face the undefeated Tar Heels. Running back Omarion Hampton is a standout, expected to shine against a typically solid JMU defense. However, the lack of production from JMU’s offense could be their downfall.
Prediction: UNC edges JMU 24-17.
Kickoff: Saturday
Spread: Virginia Tech favored by 3.5 points
A classic pick-’em, both teams exhibit solid defensive prowess but struggle offensively. With Kiron Drummond for Virginia Tech and Kyle Mananga for Rutgers as key players, this game could be a low-scoring affair.
Prediction: Rutgers surprises Virginia Tech with a close 27-23 win.
Kickoff: Saturday
