College football Week 8 best bets: Four under bets to play - ESPN

It's Week 8 of the college football season, and Mark Zinno and I are getting a little defensive. There are four UNDERS on this week's card, so yes, we will be celebrating punts rather than points. Please respect our lifestyle.

We're also taking West Virginia in different directions, but Colorado-Oklahoma State? Go nuts. We've got two OVERS, too. Balance is important.

With Zinno coming off a 5-0 sweep, here's what we've got for this week.

Odds by DraftKings and subject to change.

West Virginia wants to run the ball nearly 70% of the time. TCU has the defense to make that difficult. The Horned Frogs are solid against the run and pass, allow touchdowns on fewer than half of red zone trips and get off the field on 70% of third downs, a top-15 rate in the FBS.

West Virginia's defense can give up points, but TCU doesn't have the same firepower as opponents like Oklahoma State or Arizona. The Frogs have just six breakaway runs and throwing downfield has come with some mistakes: nine touchdowns, but also four interceptions.

Every WVU game seems to turn into a shootout. TCU can slow this one down without lighting up the scoreboard.

This is a bit contrarian, as West Virginia and Colorado State are the only FBS teams to have each of their games go over the betting total. TCU's defense is key here.

Neither offense looks built to turn this into a shootout. Miami has thrown for just 95 yards and 65 yards in its last two games, respectively, while Central Michigan has only three passing touchdowns all season.

CMU wants to run, but Miami held its last three opponents below three yards per carry. If that continues, I don't trust the Chippewas to throw their way out of trouble. Miami should find more room against CMU's run defense, but
