College football’s Week 7 slate is loaded, with six matchups between ranked teams headlining a Saturday that touches nearly every region covered here, from Indiana and Ohio to Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana. With so many games and so many sportsbooks offering new-user promotions, here’s a rundown of the biggest matchups, the odds and the welcome offers attached to them.
Ohio State vs. Indiana
Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users the promo code FOXNEWS350, which earns $350 in FanCash for a $20 wager on any game this weekend. Indiana running back Turbo Richard has 597 yards on 71 carries this season with five touchdowns. He struggled last week against Nebraska but is priced at -145 to reach the end zone again, even against a tough Ohio State defense.
Alabama vs. Tennessee
Alabama heads to Tennessee as a sizable road favorite after a loss last week, while Tennessee is coming off a win but dropped a home game to Texas a few weeks back. The total for this game has fallen sharply — possibly too far, given both offenses can score quickly. The over sits at 51.5. FanDuel is offering new users a $50 bonus token for a $5 bet, repeatable for five straight days for a total of $250 in bonus bets.
Oklahoma State vs. Houston
Both teams have been impressive this season. Oklahoma State is 4-1 with its only loss to Tulsa, and its best win came against Oregon. Houston sits 20th nationally with a single loss, a close one to Texas Tech. Houston’s home-field edge makes them worth backing to cover the short spread. BetMGM is offering new users up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their first wager loses, using promo code FOXNEWS.
Missouri vs. Ole Miss
Both SEC teams carry one loss into this top-15 matchup. Missouri fell to Mississippi State three weeks ago, while Ole Miss lost to Florida the week after upsetting LSU. Scoring has come easily for both sides this season — Ole Miss averages 38.8 points per game and Missouri 35.8 — making the over 58.5 the play on bet365, where a $10 wager earns $365 in bonuses regardless of outcome.
All odds are subject to change ahead of kickoff.
