Pittsburgh (+3.5) vs. Virginia Tech

"This is Pittsburgh's first test of the season, and it comes on the road, after a cupcake schedule to kick off the season," SportsLine expert Bob Konarski said. "The Hokies almost stubbed their toe last week at Boston College, coming back in the fourth quarter, but weather was a factor. The Panthers' defensive line should be able to slow down the Virginia Tech run game, making them beat them through the air as they rank 41st in passing defense. The Panthers have the more dynamic offense to keep this one close." Bet Pittsburgh at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after making a $5+ wager as a new user:

Penn State vs. Northwestern: Over 45.5 total points

All three of Northwestern's games this season have reached a total of at least 48 points. Both Northwestern and Penn State have scored at least 20 points in all of their games. Penn State is averaging 36.8 points per game, and Northwestern is averaging 32.7 ppg. The model projects the Over to hit in 65.4% of simulations.

Bills (-6.5) vs. Patriots

"Both of these teams are coming off ugly games, with the Bills winning despite five turnovers and the Patriots getting pummeled by the Jaguars," SportsLine NFL expert R.J. White said. "I don't see the Bills' issues sticking around, but I have serious concerns about this Patriots team. The offense has scored two TDs in three games, with Drake Maye throwing six picks behind a questionable offensive line without his best weapon. I've had concerns about the Bills' defense, but this should be a good matchup at home for the unit. Maybe the Patriots' defense bounces back and keeps the Bills within this margin, but I'll trust Josh Allen to build a multiple-score lead that Maye won't be able to overcome."
