This is when you get to have some fun.
They’re the college football money line picks that can turn a clunker of a weekend into something remember – especially if you dove in hard on the Sun Belt vs. the Big 12 last weekend.
Below are the five best value pick ideas for the money line bets. Hit one of them, and yay. Hit two, and you’re good. Hit three or more, and kaboom – but only invest the same amount on every game if you’re buying in bulk.
Remember, value is a big part of this. High risk, high reward, but without being totally insane. This is more about helping to confirm or deny what you already believe, so …
5. Boston College at Duke
Money Line: Duke -225, Boston College +190
PICK: Boston College +190
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Duke didn’t do much of anything in the opener against Notre Dame, but the defense did a decent job of keeping the game close. Boston College has yet to play, but it has good enough lines and enough talent under new head man Jeff Hafley to pull off an upset. At the very least, this should be a low-scoring game with BC never quite out of it, if at all.

4. Liberty at WKU
Money Line: WKU -600, Liberty +450
PICK: Liberty +450
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
The Liberty starting 22 is good enough to hang with just about any Group of Five program, and a few Power Fivers. They have yet to play, and WKU has a game under its belt with last week’s loss to Louisville, but this shouldn’t be a shootout and the game shouldn’t get out of hand. Watch out for the Flames to still be in the game in the fourth quarter.

3. Syracuse at Pitt
Money Line: Pitt -2000, Syracuse +1000
PICK: Syracuse +1000
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
This is all about the high-end value if it happens to hit.
The Orange looked awful, off, and clunky in the 31-6 loss to North Carolina to open the season, and Pitt looked amazing from the start in a blowout over Austin Peay from the FCS world.
Don’t believe in any of them.
There’s a reason Syracuse is +1000 – the offensive line is awful going against one of the nation’s top defensive fronts. However, the Orange gave the Panthers a battle in a 27-20 loss last year. It wouldn’t be that insane to pull this off.

2. UCF at Georgia Tech
Money Line: UCF -280, Georgia Tech +240
PICK: Georgia Tech +240
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
What if Georgia Tech really is that good?
UCF should be the better, more explosive, and all-around stronger team, but it hasn’t played yet, and the Yellow Jackets just came back from Tallahassee where it pulled off a slight stunner against Florida State.
At home, with an offense that has a bit of a passing game, and a defense that was able to keep what was supposed to be a stronger FSU offense in check, a +240 is a solid value flier.
1. Texas State at ULM
Money Line: Texas State -200, ULM +165
PICK: ULM +165
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Texas State played well in the opener against SMU … and lost.
Texas State had UTSA done in a fun game last week … and lost.
Texas State has lost eight of its last ten games and 14 of its last 16 against FBS teams going back to early November of 2018.
ULM suffered the misfortune of dealing with a nasty Army team last week and couldn’t get much of anything going, but don’t be fooled.
This is a good offensive Warhawk team that should be far more dangerous than it was in Week 1. It’s at home, and it’s a +165 against a program it beat 24-14 last year on the road.
