NDSU

90.2% win probability

UTEP is the smart play against the spread, projected to cover the 26.5-point line with a solid 73.71% probability, yielding an impressive 40.72% expected value. Despite being on the road, UTEP’s recent form shines against an NDSU team that’s struggled, especially with a projected margin favoring the Bison by just 15.4 points. On the total, grab the OVER at 47.5; the combined scoring tends to hit 52.2 in projections, supported by UTEP's recent total trends of 52.4 points in away games.

78.8% win probability

Take Mississippi State to cover the hefty 20.5-point spread against Texas, where strong models give them a powerful 78.15% chance to beat the line — a projected margin of 6.9 points favors the away contingent.
