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.
- Tulsa has covered 10 straight games against AP-ranked opponents, the longest active streak in FBS. It's also tied for the 4th-longest streak since the 1978 FBS/FCS split
- AP top 10 teams are 13-4 ATS since 2010 when favored by three or fewer points against an unranked opponent. (Purdue)
- Navy is 5-1 ATS as a double-digit underdog this season, tied with New Mexico State (5-1 ATS) for the 2nd-best such cover percentage in FBS (min. 5 games). Only Bowling Green (5-0 ATS) has been better.
- Oklahoma State has covered four straight road games, including 3-0 ATS this season
- Texas A&M is 2-10 ATS following a bye since joining the SEC in 2012.
- Alabama has covered 11 of its last 15 games as a home favorite, including nine straight, the longest active streak in FBS.
- Oregon has failed to cover nine straight as a favorite, the longest active streak in FBS. That includes 0-6 ATS this season.



 
Regarding the first nugget....Mizzou QB is out tomorrow. The backups have thrown 9 passes combined. How does UGA not win by 40? I think D can score 21.
