No doubt what the marquee game of the day is, right?
LSU (-3) at Ole Miss (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC).
Of course, the most-hyped game isn’t always the best one for bettors.
That’s why I like to check the Circa Friday Football Invitational to see which games attract our sharp crew of contestants.
Here’s a good example: Five contestants are on Northwestern (-3) vs. Colorado — a game with a lot less juice that kicks off at the same time as LSU-Ole Miss.
The good news: Four contestants played LSU-Ole Miss as one of their seven picks.
The bad news: They completely disagree.
Chris Coyne: LSU -3
Kenny White: Ole Miss +3
Frank Carulli: Over 58.5
Clyde Walker: Under 58.5
The Invitational isn’t the only place you’ll find disagreement on LSU-Ole Miss. Here’s what our experts are betting today — and their LSU-Ole Miss play when they have one.
👉 Matt Youmans → Ole Miss +3
👉 Wes Reynolds → LSU-Ole Miss Over 58
👉 Tyler Shoemaker → LSU -3
👉 Steve Makinen → Ole Miss +3
👉 Zachary Cohen → LSU ML (-154)

Saturday is when a lot of us start putting together the Sunday card. Two injury situations are worth watching:
Vikings-Bears: Vikings QB Kyler Murray (concussion) is out, putting Carson Wentz under center against the Bears (-4.5).
Rams: WR Puka Nacua (hip) was added to the injury report and did not practice Friday.
Now, what are our handicappers betting?
👉 Matt Youmans → New picks coming this morning
👉 Wes Reynolds → New picks coming this morning

So what does the Fantasy Guru like for Sunday’s games?
BOLT — Backtested Over/under Line Trends — is VSiN’s new player prop trend model.
BOLT takes the number the book has posted for a player this week and tests how that exact line would have performed against the player’s own game history, weighting recent results most heavily.
The first Saturday BOLT picks will be posted at 2 p.m. PT today.
