Wrap Up of Week 4 of College Football
Scott Morris | September 26, 2016
Week 4 of the college football regular season is history, but not without a few surprises. Favorites for the week were 41-14 straight up, but just 26-27-1 against the spread.
Home teams were 30-25 SU and 26-27-1 ATS. The point total leaned toward the OVER 28-24.
The largest underdogs that won straight up were Duke at +22 over Notre Dame 38-35, Idaho at +14 over UNLV 33-30, Colorado +13 over Oregon 41-38 and Buffalo +13 over Army 23-20.
The largest favorites that covered were Missouri (-48) 79-0 over Delaware State, Alabama (-42) 48-0 over Kent State and Houston (-30) 64-3 over Texas State.
Top 25 Teams
The Clemson Tigers defeated Georgia Tech on Thursday by 19 points to cover for the second consecutive week after starting the season 0-2 ATS.
Ole Miss ran up a 31-0 lead at the half against Georgia. This time the Rebels did not squander the lead, winning 45-14. Wisconsin and Michigan State met in the Big 10 battle between Top 10 schools with the Badgers embarrassing the Spartans 30-6. Wisconsin is 4-0 SU while 3-1 ATS.
Tennessee snapped an 11-game losing streak to Florida with a 38-28 win and cover. The Vols were down 21-3 at the half, but outscored Florida by 28 points during the second half.
LSU lost to Auburn after appearing to win on a last second miraculous catch in the end zone that when reviewed showed the Tigers did not snap the ball before time ran out. LSU also lost its top running back Leonard Fournette to an injured ankle and then fired its head coach Les Miles on Sunday, which means it, was not a good week to be an LSU Tigers football player, coach or fan.
Michigan keeps rolling along after its 49-10 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Wolverines are now 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS. The OVER has cashed in each of the four Michigan games. Things could change this week though, as the Wolverines host Wisconsin on Saturday.
