Last week, the writer found themselves losing five bets, but they are determined to turn things around this time around.

Notre Dame (-21.5) hosts North Carolina on Saturday at noon. Notre Dame has been solid against the spread so far in 2026, with a 3-1 record. They are the clear favorite in this game against the Tar Heels, who have struggled against Power 4 competition. With a huge talent difference, the Irish offense is expected to dominate. Consider laying the points and taking the over, with a total of 48.5 - the second lowest total for the Irish this season.

Alabama (-5.5) takes on Mississippi State on Saturday at noon. The Bulldogs have been impressive in their four wins this season, with quarterback Kamario Taylor potentially receiving Heisman attention. If he leads Mississippi State to victory over Alabama, he will receive all the accolades he desires. State has been unstoppable on offense this season, giving Alabama a tough challenge.

Alabama is bringing in a promising young quarterback, Keelon Russell, who has contributed to their recent successes. This game is expected to be an exciting one. Go for the upset with Mississippi State moneyline (+188).
