Week 10 best bets: How to bet Texas Tech-Kansas State, Georgia Tech-NC State and more - ESPN

Week 10 of college football feels less like picking sides and more like picking rhythms. Some teams are dancing to precision, others tripping over their own tempo. The trick? Find the ones still in sync when the music speeds up.

At this point, we have some consistency, so I'm laying trust with those teams.

Pick: Hawai'i +110

Hawai'i's hitting its stride, and the market hasn't caught up. Coverage and efficiency define this edge.

Defensively, the Rainbow Warriors are 26th in passing coverage; San Jose State sits in the bottom five. That's a massive gap in a game where both teams want to throw. Quarterback Micah Alejado has been sharp, throwing nearly 1,200 yards, completing 68% of passes with 10 total scores over his last three games, averaging 8.4 yards per attempt. Against a defense that's missed tackles and allowed explosive plays, that's a mismatch worth backing.

Offensively, Hawai'i's finishing drives instead of stalling. The unit's balanced, confident, and capitalizing on momentum. San Jose State's moving the ball but not finishing, and yardage without points isn't valuable.

Give me the team tackling better, protecting the ball and closing possessions with touchdowns. Hawai'i's cleaner, sharper, and more efficient. I'll skip the +2.5 and take the +110 outright.

Pick: Georgia Tech -5.5

Georgia Tech has been one of the most efficient teams in the country: We're talking top 15 in both yards per play and points per play, the definition of clean football.

While NC State runs more plays per game, the Wolfpack's efficiency has dipped over their last three outings, showing a clear downward trend. Georgia Tech keeps the chains moving without forcing the issue, producing at a higher rate on fewer snaps,
