The best bets from this Saturday's college football slate

Texas (+9) over Oklahoma

Texas (+9) over Oklahoma

The Red River Rivalry is always a must-see game on the college football schedule. This year, the Sooners are coming off an embarrassing loss to Iowa State, and will be looking to bounce back. But with a nine point line, gamblers should look to betting the underdog — the Texas Longhorns have proven they can keep pace with the upper-crust of college football, and this is the biggest game of their season.

LAST WEEK: 4-3
OVERALL: 22-20

UCLA (-2) over Arizona

UCLA (-2) over Arizona

Arizona is coming off of a big win against Colorado last week and might not be able to get up for this one against the Bruins. But more than anything, I just can't quit Josh Rosen.

Texas A&M (+3) over Florida

Texas A&M (+3) over Florida

The Aggies kept things relatively close against Alabama last weekend and has a dynamic offense that I can see giving the Gators some trouble. Florida meanwhile, has been the most unreliable team I've watched all season.

LSU (+7) over Auburn

LSU (+7) over Auburn

I had Auburn in this game as easy money until I saw that they're currently getting 85% of bets according to SportsInsights. It's a trap! LSU are home dogs getting a touchdown against an Auburn coming off two home wins. Before the season, Vegas had LSU favored by seven in this spot – take that 14 point swing to the bank.

Arkansas (+31.5) over Alabama

Arkansas (+31.5) over Alabama

It's always scary to take a team heading to Alabama to cover, but once again, this just feels like too many points to spot to a competent team like Arkansas. All you need is a few scores to make this line look easy.

Purdue (+17.5) over Wisconsin

Purdue (+17.5) over Wisconsin

Purdue has an offense you can't take your eyes off of and will be one of the best tests this Wisconsin team has faced all season. Whenever there's an offense I love getting two touchdowns and change, it's a tough deal to turn down. The Boilermakers were winners for us last Saturday, let's see if they can keep up the success.

Ole Miss (-3.5) over Vanderbilt

Ole Miss (-3.5) over Vanderbilt

Ole Miss is reeling after three straight road losses including consecutive shellackings at the hands of Alabama and Auburn. But this week they return home to play an up-and-down Vanderbilt team. Look for the Rebels to right the ship and show their home crowd that they're better than the last two weeks have shown.
