FCS odds, picks, analysis for Oct. 30 games: College football expert reveals his top weekend predictions

This weekend's FCS schedule has a number of intriguing matchups, including an Ivy League game between Columbia (5-1) and Yale (3-3). Columbia has been running hot with three consecutive victories, while Yale has won three of five, including a 42-28 win over Penn last week. Yale is a 1.5-point favorite in the latest odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Last week, Columbia posted a 19-0 win over Dartmouth as sophomore quarterback Joe Green completed 14 of 22 passes for 98 yards and a score. Senior running backs Dante Miller and Ryan Young also helped carry the load on offense, combining for 35 rushes for 115 yards, led by Miller's 25 carries for 58 yards.

Yale, meanwhile, got back into the win column following a pair of losses as sophomore quarterback Nolan Grooms had a monster game. He completed 18 of 27 passes (66.7 percent) for 283 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing 16 times for 113 yards (7.1 average) and two scores.

Before making any FCS picks or predictions for that game or others for this weekend, you NEED to see what SportsLine college football expert Emory Hunt has to say.

Hunt is the founder and CEO of Football Gameplan, which has been supplying analysis of all levels of football since 2007, and a former running back at Louisiana-Lafayette. He knows the game from a player's perspective. Hunt is 195-158-2 in college football over the past two-plus seasons, returning $1,477 to $100 players. He is 16-8 on FCS bets through Week 8. Anybody who has followed him is WAY UP!

Now, Hunt has crunched the numbers for Saturday's games and has posted his best bets. Parlaying these four FCS picks will pay around 8-1!

We can tell you he's picking Jackson State (-21.5) against Mississippi Valley State. 

"Jackson State has been money, figuratively and literally, this season in the FCS," Hunt told SportsLine. "Because of their defense, and how dominant it has been, it makes opponents have to work hard just to get to perhaps, 17 points. It's impressive. They are playing FBS-level ball at the FCS level, and will be able to cover this spread against Valley, who has played better this season."    

Elsewhere this weekend, Hunt has made the call on Brown at Penn and has found an x-factor in the matchup that makes a spread hit HARD. You ABSOLUTELY need to see what he's picking before you make any plays of your own.

So which picks should you make for a MASSIVE 8-1 payout? And who covers in Columbia at Yale? ...
