Madison, Pearce, and Hank go through the whole Week 8 college football card, from Thursday night through the late window, with more than 30 picks against the spread, totals, and first-half plays.
Pearce walks right into what he calls the rattiest line of the season, Ole Miss +3.5 at Texas. Madison brings back her favorite trend, USC traveling two time zones east, and takes Wisconsin. The crew also argues over whether Alabama finally shows up at home against Texas A&M, whether LSU bounces back at Auburn after the upset, and whether it’s Cocktober in Columbia as South Carolina hosts Tennessee.
There’s also a windy-weather unders special in Laramie, Minneapolis, and Miami, plus BYU at UCF upset alert, Michigan +7.5 vs Indiana in the Tommy Carr era, Utah vs Houston under the lights, and a quick debate on where Bryce Underwood transfers next.
Games covered: JMU vs App State, Memphis vs East Carolina, NC State vs Stanford, Air Force vs Wyoming, Army vs Tulsa, Indiana vs Michigan, LSU vs Auburn, Pitt vs Miami, Tennessee vs South Carolina, Texas A&M vs Alabama, Iowa vs Minnesota, BYU vs UCF, Ole Miss vs Texas, USC vs Wisconsin, Houston vs Utah, Oklahoma vs Mississippi State, Virginia Tech vs Clemson, Texas Tech vs Cincinnati, and more.
