Louisville (-4) vs. Florida State
Louisville is 2-1 at home this season, including a 41-31 win over No. 16 SMU, which defeated Florida State on the road, 27-24, this year. Florida State is 3-2 this season, but it has played only one road game — a 50-36 loss to Alabama. Florida State went 0-5 on the road last season. Louisville's offense added an Ohio State quarterback this offseason, securing Lincoln Kienholz, a junior who was a top-15-ranked quarterback in his high school class, and Kienholz has thrown for more than 300 yards in three of five games this season. He's 14th in the nation in passing yards (1,394) and has nine passing touchdowns with one interception. The model projects Louisville to cover in 60% of simulations.

Iowa (+115) to defeat Washington
Washington has lost back-to-back Big Ten games to open its conference schedule, including a 27-24 home loss to Minnesota as it prepares to host No. 20 Iowa. Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes are 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten, and they are coming off holding Ohio State to 14 points below its season average, albeit in a 31-14 loss. Iowa allowed eight points per game over its first four games before playing the high-powered Buckeyes. Iowa defeated Washington, 40-16, in their last meeting in 2024. Iowa has a road win over Michigan this season, and the model projects value in another coming on Friday, with the Hawkeyes winning in 52% of simulations.

BYU (-11.5) vs. Iowa State
"Maybe the sportsbooks are overvaluing Iowa State? And maybe this is a trap line? If so, I'm falling into the trap," SportsLine expert Eric Cohen said. "I know BYU has injury concerns this week, including star running back L.J. Martin, and they might be looking ahead to the Notre Dame game next week, but beating Iowa State at home shouldn't be a problem either way. I originally thought the Cyclones would be the worst team in the Big 12 after Matt Campbell took seemingly half the team to Penn State. Somehow they're 3-2 and hung in there against Iowa and Utah despite losing. I think the Cyclones hang around once again for at least a half before the Cougars take over late on Friday night. BYU 31, Iowa State 14. Back BYU by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:
