2025 NFL, College Football Odds: Best Bets for Notre Dame-Pitt, Bears-Vikings

The Notre Dame tax is getting ridiculous.

And that’s coming from someone who bet the Fighting Irish against Boise State, USC and Navy, and has them as the fourth-best team in the country.

More on that game in a second.

I’ve got six football bets this weekend. Remember, this isn’t the place for "locks" or five-team parlays. These are the games I love the most.

Let’s go to work.

No. 9 Notre Dame (-12.5, O/U 54) @ No. 22 Pittsburgh

Las Vegas bookmakers keep opening Notre Dame games high, and the market keeps driving them up. Last Saturday’s game closed -31 against Navy. Circa Sports opened the Irish -10 here, and now we’re sitting -12.5 everywhere. I think Pitt QB Mason Heintschel can move the ball against ND’s defense, but it truly comes down to the number for me. It feels like too many points.

PICK: Pittsburgh (+12.5) to lose by fewer than 12.5 points or win outright

No. 10 Texas @ No. 5 Georgia (-6.5, O/U 49.5)

The Longhorns are so disrespected here it hurts. It’s rare to get a team with this much talent and speed catching almost a touchdown, yet here we are. Georgia’s offense has gotten back on track, mostly via the running game. And that plays directly into the strength of the Texas defense. If Arch Manning can make plays, don’t be surprised if this one is tied late.

PICK: Texas (+6.5) to lose by fewer than 6.5 points or win outright

Florida @ No. 7 Ole Miss (-11.5, O/U 53.5)

This game has seen insane line movement throughout the week. Respected money bet Ole Miss from -13.5 to
