Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith break down college football week 8 from a betting perspective.
College Football Week 8 (Griffin Warner & Lonte Smith)
Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith return on the College Football Podcast from RJ Bell’s Dream Preview to analyze four key Week 8 matchups and share best bets. They recap last week’s near misses—Griffin hit the Texas-Oklahoma under, while Lonte’s Arizona pick lost in overtime—and discuss how betting luck swings in college football. The show opens with Ole Miss vs Georgia, where Lonte favors the under 54.5 due to Georgia’s second-half defensive dominance and Ole Miss’s inconsistency. He notes Georgia isn’t “elite” this season, lacking pass rush and explosive offense, and predicts a defensive battle with potential value on Georgia’s second-half line. Next, they shift to USC at Notre Dame. Lonte outlines USC’s cluster injuries at running back and offensive line and praises Notre Dame’s improving defense, which hasn’t allowed a second-half point in three games. Despite liking the Trojans’ passing attack, he favors the over 62 and leans Notre Dame to cover –9 given the matchup and cross-country travel. Griffin questions why Notre Dame deserves such a big spread, and Lonte credits their trench play and balance under Marcus Freeman. The third game features Tennessee vs Alabama, with Lonte backing the Vols +8, expecting their offense to exploit Alabama’s reduced pass rush and hang around in a high-scoring affair. Griffin takes the over 58.5 as his best bet, anticipating a shift from Nick Saban’s defensive identity to an offensive shootout under Kalen DeBoer. Finally, they preview Utah vs BYU, the “Holy War,” where Lonte likes Utah –3.5 on the road, calling BYU’s recent wins misleading and praising Utah’s elite run defense and revenge motivation after losing the last two meetings. They end by promoting Pregame.com’s GOAL50 code for $50 off a 30-day All-Access plan and highlight Steve Fezzik’s college football run. Lonte’s best bet is Arkansas +7.5 as a live home underdog versus Texas A&M, citing injuries to Aggie playmakers and improved Razorbacks offense. The hosts close by thanking listeners and promising more insights next week on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed.
