College football betting picks: Preview and predictions for Week 9

Iowa and Northwestern are playing a football game. Iowa's offense is ranked 128th out of 131 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in scoring offense at 14 points per game, while Northwestern's is averaging 18.6 points. Northwestern is tied for 126th in the nation in turnover margin. The game should be ugly. It should finish under 37½ points each.

Nebraska is a 7½-point favorite over Illinois. The Cornhuskers had an extra week to prepare and have played better this month.

Illinois-Nebraska U50 is a low-possession game. Illinois leads the nation in scoring defense and yards allowed per game, but it's 96th in red zone efficiency. Nebraska has lost nine fumbles in seven games.

Texas Christian-West Virginia O69 is a game between the Horned Frogs and the Mountaineers.

Colorado is favored by 13½ points over Arizona State. The Buffaloes are like an unexpected candy bar after trick-or-treating.

Last week, the team was 3-2. Season is 18-21-1.
