Week 4 of college football brings excitement as major matchups unfold. Griffin Warner and Big East Ben provide insights on teams, players, and betting strategies in their latest podcast. Key games like Illinois vs Nebraska, USC vs Michigan, and Tennessee vs Oklahoma are analyzed in-depth.

Top Picks and Key MomentsNebraska Hype (05:45)

Nebraska’s quarterback, Dylan Riola, is compared to Patrick Mahomes, but Big East Ben is skeptical. After a dominant win over Colorado, the hype seems overblown, especially against Illinois' strong defense.

Illinois at Nebraska (07:05)

Illinois is an 8.5-point underdog, but Ben likes their defensive strength and quarterback play. Griffin sees this as a low-scoring affair, suggesting the under 43 points bet.

Michigan vs USC (09:45)

Michigan’s QB Alex Orji takes center stage, but USC’s offensive prowess may be too much. Both agree on the under 46.5 bet, expecting defenses to shine in this one.

Utah at Oklahoma State (13:30)

Cam Rising returns for Utah, and Ben backs Utah -2.5, pointing to their consistency. Oklahoma State’s shaky performance makes Utah a solid pick.
