Northwestern @ Maryland 

Spread: Maryland -10.5, Moneyline: -420, Total: 45.5

Maryland is set to host Northwestern on their home field come Friday. The Terrapins have shown flashes this season with some excitement behind quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. On the other hand, the 2-3 Northwestern Wildcats look to advance to .500 on the season.

Northwestern @ Maryland Best Bet: Maryland -10.5

Maryland has the talent to put points up in a hurry. And after their upsetting loss against Indiana, the Terrapins could be looking to make a statement against Northwestern in front of their home fans. That said, take Maryland to cover the spread.

Northwestern @ Maryland Best Total Bet: Under 45.5

Maryland’s offense could be hard to stop for Northwestern on Saturday while their defense could have a dominant day. A final score of 30-13 could be the result come Friday.

UNLV @ Utah State

Spread: UNLV -18.5, Moneyline: UNLV -1100, Total: 65.5

UNLV has looked the part for most of the season despite losing their starting quarterback to the transfer portal. The Rebels may be looking for redemption after a heartbreaking loss to Syracuse in overtime last weekend. With the 1-4 Utah State Aggies next on their schedule, Friday could be a one-sided battle.

UNLV @ Utah State Best Bet: UNLV -18.5

Averaging 44.4 points per game, the Rebels offense is no joke. Meanwhile, Utah has been blown out in four of their five games this season. UNLV could be the next team to steamroll the Aggies.

UNLV @ Utah State Best Total Bet: Under 65.5

The Rebels offense will likely put up plenty of points throughout Friday night’s matchup, but Utah State’s offensive inconsistency doesn’t bode well to trust this game going over the 65.5 total. UNLV could win this game with a final score of 38-10.

Utah @ Arizona State

Spread: Utah -6.5, Moneyline: Utah -230, Total: 65.5

Utah and Arizona State may be a closer game than most anticipate. The Utes have shown some struggles since losing Cameron Rising, and their lack of efficiency at the quarterback position could come back and bite them eventually. Especially against a 4-1 Arizona State squad.

Utah @ Arizona State Best Bet: Utah ML -230

Utah may struggle to pull away from the Sun Devils in this matchup. ASU has the potential on offense to score on any defense, and the Utes have shown they’re beatable. Nonetheless, Utah may be able to outlast Arizona State, but not enough to cover the spread.

Utah @ Arizona State Best Total Bet: Under 65.5

Utah and Arizona State may very well come down to the final minutes of a game. The battle will be close from both sides, but exceeding the 65.5-point total will be hard to do. A final score of 31-27 seems reasonable.
