For starters, Bet Labs’ Small Visiting Dog PRO system recommends Nebraska moneyline.
This 51%-winning betting system has value on:
- Road underdogs
- When the spread is 0-4
- And an over/under of 46+

The expert system also nailed Fresno State moneyline against Purdue, correctly predicting a Bulldogs upset.
PRO Report Pick: Nebraska Moneyline
The second Colorado vs. Nebraska pick to consider Saturday is the game going under the total.
The over/under for Cornhuskers vs. Buffaloes is 59.
However, NCAAF PRO Projections crunched the numbers and was more than a touchdown off, setting the over/under at 51.6.
It’s an A+ edge by projections standards, and a recommended bet on a low-scoring game in Saturday’s must-watch matinee.
PRO Report Pick: Colorado vs. Nebraska Under
Notre Dame vs. North Carolina State Pick
[gamematchup league="ncaaf" awaylogo="https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaaf/100/nd.png" awayname="Notre Dame" awayslug="notre-dame-fighting-irish" homelogo="https://assets.actionnetwork.com/439394_ncst.png" homename="NC State" homeslug="north-carolina-state-wolfpack" date="Saturday, Sep 9" time="12:00pm ET" network="ABC" col1text="Spread" col2text="Total" col3text="Moneyline" col1awaytext="-7.5" col1awayline="-110" col1hometext="+7.5" col1homeline="-110" col2awaytext="50.5" col2hometext="50.5" col2awayline="-110o / -110u" col2homeline="-110o / -110u" col3awaytext="-305" col3hometext="+240" col3awayline="" col3homeline="" bookname="Caesars" bookthumbnaillogo="https://assets.actionnetwork.com/463646_Caesars.png" bookreviewslug="caesars"][/gamematchup]Notre Dame vs. NC State is shaping up to be one of the strongest picks in PRO.
Sharp Action, Big Money and Top Expert all match on North Carolina State plus the points.
The Wolfpack aren’t a popular bet. In fact, they’re attracting just 25% of the betting tickets against the spread.
However, our college football money splits show 59% of the coin backing the underdogs, activating sharp- and big-money tools.
Plus, not one, but two college football experts making picks in the Action App locked in the Wolfpack to cover Saturday.
PRO Report Pick: NC State ATS
Iowa vs. Iowa State Pick

PRO Projections biggest edge of any Week 2 college football spread is on Iowa State.
Advanced projections have the wrong team favored Saturday for the Cy-Hawk Trophy.
Iowa is as large as -4 in Ames. However, projections made Iowa State -0.7.
It’s an A+ edge on the Cyclones to stay within the spread — and perhaps pull off the upset.
PRO Report Pick: Iowa State
Oregon vs. Texas Tech Pick
[gamematchup league="ncaaf" awaylogo="https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaaf/100/ore.png" awayname="Oregon" awayslug="oregon-ducks" homelogo="https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/ncaaf/100/tt.png" homename="Texas Tech" homeslug="texas-tech-red-raiders" date="Saturday, Sep 9" time="7:00pm ET" network="FOX" col1text="Spread" col2text="Total" col3text="Moneyline" col1awaytext="-6.5" col1awayline="-106" col1hometext="+6.5" col1homeline="-114" col2awaytext="68.5" col2hometext="68.5" col2awayline="-110o / -110u" col2homeline="-110o / -110u" col3awaytext="-235" col3hometext="+190" col3awayline="" col3homeline="" bookname="FanDuel" bookthumbnaillogo="https://assets.actionnetwork.com/392973_FanDuel.png" bookreviewslug="fanduel"][/gamematchup]The top pick in PRO for Week 2 is Oregon vs. Texas Tech. Don’t even get me started on how aesthetically pleasing this is from a jersey perspective.
Four of our five betting tools (Sharp Action, Big Money, Top Experts and Projections) all have value on the Texas Tech Red Raiders against the spread.
Multiple experts are backing the Red Raiders to cover the touchdown-sized spread vs. the Ducks Saturday.
Also, projections have value on the home team, making Texas Tech more like +4.
The Red Raiders are also attracting significantly more money (58%) than tickets (24%), setting off sharp-action and big-money signals.
PRO Report Pick: Texas Tech ATS
