College football predictions, picks, odds: Kansas State over Oklahoma among value plays in Week 4

Powered by Caesars Sportsbook

Conference play is finally upon us as the vast majority of leagues deliver quality matchups in Week 4. Instead of searching through the dregs of mismatched nonconference games, this week finally gives us some battles between programs that know each other intimately. That’s where real value can be found. 

Finding value takes many forms for sharp bettors. Finding an underdog with the potential to win and deliver an inflated money line victory is a gold standard. However, identifying teams that can pull off a late cover or a favorite that can stretch a lead well past the line can result in winnings as well. If the time is right, we might even delve into over/under plays with upside.

Our slate in Week 4 features a pair of teams that hope to make the College Football Playoff facing off against tricky rivals. It also features two of the five worst teams in college football this season. Everything is on the table — let’s get to it.

When: Thursday, 7:30 p.m. | Where: Center Parc Stadium — Atlanta, Georgia

Featured Game | Georgia State Panthers vs. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

Georgia State’s first two losses to South Carolina and North Carolina weren’t worth bailing ship. Dropping to Charlotte by one point at home last week is a different story. Early returns on Coastal Carolina have been shaky, but this is still one of the most explosive offenses in college football behind quarterback Grayson McCall. This line shouldn’t be within a touchdown, and it feels like Vegas modelers overthinking themselves. Pick: Coastal Carolina -2 (-110)

When: Saturday, 12 p.m. | Where: Truist Field — Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Featured Game | Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Clemson Tigers
