The Week 9 college football schedule may be the most balanced to date amongst the power conferences as each of the Power Four features seven divisional contests. The SEC has Oklahoma as 5.5-point home favorites versus an Ole Miss team coming off its first defeat, per the Week 9 college football odds, while the Big Ten has the Battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy with Michigan vs. Michigan State (+14). Over in the Big 12, Houston vs. Arizona State has the Sun Devils favored by 7 points, according to the latest college football lines, while the ACC has Miami looking to bounce back as the Canes host Stanford (+29.5).

Elsewhere, No. 18 South Florida (-5.5) will face a Memphis squad coming off its first defeat. Also in the American, an unbeaten, but still unranked, Navy Midshipmen squad will look to get some respect in the AP Poll when it faces Florida Atlantic, with Navy as two-touchdown favorites.

Before making any college football picks for those games or others in Week 9, be sure to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say. 

The model simulates every FBS game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a betting profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college spread football picks, and is a profitable 42-30 combined on money-line and over/under picks since the beginning of 2024. Anyone following could have seen impressive returns.

Now, it has studied the latest college football odds (see the latest college football lines for each matchup this week on our college football odds page), simulated every single play for every Week 9 game, and the results are in. 

One of the college picks the model is high on during Week 9: Washington (-3.5, 54.5) covers versus No. 23 Illinois in a 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday kickoff almost 60% of the time. Another prediction: Colorado (+13.5, 48.5) covers against Utah in nearly 60% of simulations Saturday at 10:15 p.m. ET, with the Under hitting well over 60% of the time.

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other FBS matchup, and it's calling for four upsets in major games this week!
