Action Network’s “Ranked Matchups” PRO model has been humming lately.
This 58%-winning model, riding a blistering-hot streak, only fires on games between Top-25 teams.
However, the kicker is betting on home (or neutral) favorites when they’re -3 or more against the spread.
Let’s get into the picks Saturday in Week 8!

Penn State is admittedly the nation’s hottest bet under head coach James Franklin, having covered all six spreads this season.
However, due to line range and other factors, it’s a recommended model pick on Ohio State to cover.
