College football best bets Week 7: Backing Oregon to cover vs. Ohio State and five other spread bets

New York Times  

Another week of squeaking out some profit and you’ll hear no complaints from me. Worst price to bet: UCF -3 My model has been low on West Virginia all season long, so I was a bit surprised to see an edge on them here against Iowa State. I’m not totally bought on Iowa State’s offense going on the road and winning a close one against a West Virginia offense that has moved the ball against everyone not named Penn State this season. Worst price to bet: West Virginia +3 Arizona +4 at BYU I’m fading BYU here. Worst price to bet: Arizona +3.5 It’s the biggest weekend of the season, so I had to have a bet on one of the marquee matchups.
