“Stanford Steve” Coughlin and Chris “The Bear” Fallica preview Week 8 of the 2022 college football season as only they can, offering their top bets, nuggets and totals worth wagering on.

Odds and lines are from Caesars Sportsbook unless otherwise noted.

The Bear (Last week: 3-4. Season: 25-13-1)
Stanford Steve (Last week: 2-3. Season: 15-14-1)

The plays

Troy Trojans at South Alabama Jaguars (-3, 46.5)

The Bear: Two teams that are largely going unnoticed in the grand scheme of things. Troy would be undefeated in league play if not for a Hail Mary by Appalachian State. Meanwhile, South Alabama is a last-second field goal by UCLA away from being undefeated. Both of these teams have had a knack for forcing turnovers this season, but I’ll side with the better defense getting points on the road.

Pick: Troy +3
