#6 Alabama @ #14 Tennessee
BET
Alabama -8.5
Line moved from -10.5 down to -8.5 — reverse sharp action. Public is on Tennessee but money is on Bama. Alabama's SP+ is 2nd nationally; Tennessee 14th. Bama's defense is top-5 in EPA/play allowed and Tennessee's offense stalls in marquee matchups. Model projects 14-17 point Alabama win.

#2 Notre Dame @ #8 BYU
BET
Notre Dame -11.5
Notre Dame is the #2 team for a reason — top-3 SP+ with elite efficiency on both sides. BYU is ranked but their resume is padded by weak opponents. ND's PPA differential (+0.31/play) crushes BYU's (+0.09/play). The Irish defensive front dominates BYU's interior line. Cover comfortably.

Florida @ #7 Texas

Texas -12.5
Line jumped from -9.5 to -12.5 — sharp steam. Texas at home in Austin is elite and undefeated in 2026. Florida's defense gives up 34+ per game and their secondary can't handle Texas's speed. PPA advantage is massive. This covers and possibly blows out.

Top-5 clash. Ohio State's talent edge is real — the Buckeyes are deeper at every skill position. Indiana's home crowd is loud but OSU has been dominant on the road this year. Model consistently gives Ohio State the edge on this short spread.
