Always one of my favorite reads. Highlights:
- Missouri is 0-8 ATS this season, the only remaining FBS team yet to cover a game.
- Ohio State is 8-1-1 ATS as a road favorite since Ryan Day's first full season in 2019. That's the best such cover percentage in FBS over that span (min. 10 games).
- Ohio State is 13-5-1 ATS in conference games since Day's first full season in 2019.
- Ohio State is 6-1 ATS against Nebraska since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten in 2011.
- North Carolina is 9-3 outright following a loss since 2019.
- Liberty is 8-3 ATS as an underdog under Hugh Freeze (since 2019), including 6 straight covers in such games, tied for the 4th-longest active streak in FBS with Coastal Carolina. Nevada (9), California (8) and Tulsa (7) have the top 3 active streaks.
- Memphis has failed to cover in six straight games against AP-ranked opponents, tied for the second-longest active streak in FBS. Only Maryland (seven straight) has a longer active streak.

- AP top 10 teams are 13-4 ATS since 2010 when favored by three or fewer points against an unranked opponent. (Purdue)
