SportsLine’s simulations spotlight disagreements with human forecasts on marquee spreads.
Overview
- Oklahoma at Alabama opened around Crimson Tide -6 with a 45.5 total, and SportsLine’s model projects the Sooners to cover more than half the time.
- Covers’ ATS card takes Alabama -5.5 against Oklahoma and grabs Texas +6.5 at Georgia, reflecting a split from the model on key SEC games.
- List Wire’s AP-style picks call for Alabama over Oklahoma, Georgia over Texas, and a lopsided Ohio State win versus UCLA.
- SportsLine also backs Miami -14.5 versus NC State and rates the Over as likely, citing Miami’s top-10 scoring defense and NC State’s recent road struggles.
- Ohio State is a heavy favorite over UCLA at -32.5, and all posted odds and predictions are listed as subject to change before kickoff.
