College Football Picks Today: Spread and Total Picks for Friday, October 23

Friday has a thin college football slate, and only one game gave me a spread and a total I liked. I compared PropFinder's game projections with the market line and took the sides where the model disagreed most.

That game is Army at Tulsa. Lines move, so check the current number before you bet.

Army Black Knights at Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Army visits Tulsa in an AAC game at Chapman Stadium on Friday night. Army is 4-2 and Tulsa is 4-3, with kickoff at 8:30 PM ET on ESPN2. PropFinder's projection has Army winning 26.3 to 23.8, which makes it the favorite in the model while the market has Tulsa as the small favorite.

ARMY +1.5 (-104, FanDuel): PropFinder projects ARMY by 2.5

ARMY +1.5

Point Spread

Bet now-104

The market has Army as a 1.5 point underdog, while the model makes Army a 2.5 point favorite. That is a 4 point gap, and the model gives Army +1.5 a 59% chance to cover. The best price is -104 at FanDuel.

The model also gives Tulsa a 44% chance to win outright, so Army is the more likely winner in its view. Taking the points is a cushion on top of that.

Under 54.5 (-106, Novig): PropFinder projects 50.1 total points

TOTAL POINTSARMY@TLSA· Oct 23, 8:30 PM ET

Under 54.5

Total Points

Bet now-106

The market total is 54.5 and the model projects 50.1 points, a gap of 4.4. The model gives the under a 60% chance, and the best price is -106 at Novig.

The projected score of 26.3 to 23.8 is below the market number, so the under rests on both offenses falling short of what the market expects. The edge is about a field goal and a half, so it is more of a lean.
