CFB Picks in Week 4: Thursday's Big Ten O/U Lines, Friday's Faulty Spread, and Florida vs Kentucky Underdog Odds
FanDuel Sportsbook predicted that lines for the interesting Illinois vs Chattanooga game on Thursday night would appear within 24 hours of game-time. The few sportsbooks who have taken-on markets for Illinois and Chattanooga are offering lines that simply can't be believed. The theme of many of WagerBop's picks this week is fat-payoff moneylines next to fairly wide spreads on the same live FBS underdogs. Wagershop has been winning often enough that loyalists can afford a couple of high-risk picks.
Chattanooga Mocs play Illinois Fighting Illini on Thursday, September 22. The game is a toss-up. NDSU lost to Arizona last weekend. Arkansas was embarrassed by Missouri State on Saturday.

It's better to get the over/under than to bet on the game. They're going to pick the line before kickoff. For more information, visit the CBS Sports website.
