Cohen and Roberts Back Georgia and Miami Against the Spread

SportsLine analysts Eric Cohen and Micah Roberts have identified two major college football matchups where the betting lines offer value. Their selections focus on the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs and the No. 1 Miami Hurricanes, both of whom are projected to cover the point spread in games scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026. The recommendations rely on data from the SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every FBS game 10,000 times to assess potential outcomes.

Cohen selected Georgia to cover the 3.5-point spread against No. 10 Ole Miss. He cited the recent history between the two programs, which includes two high-scoring contests during the previous season. Although Ole Miss defeated Georgia in the Sugar Bowl last year, Cohen views the current game as an opportunity for the Bulldogs to reassert their position as the top team in the nation. He acknowledged the skill of Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss but expressed confidence in Georgia's ability to rebound from their recent loss to Auburn.

In the other featured matchup, Roberts picked Miami to cover the 7-point spread against No. 11 Notre Dame. His analysis highlights the statistical gap between the two teams. Miami holds the second-ranked offense in the country, averaging 534 yards per game. Notre Dame possesses the top-ranked defense, which allows only 236 yards per game. Roberts identified Miami quarterback Darian Mensah as the key factor, noting his 25 touchdown passes and single interception this season.

Roberts argued that public opinion favors Notre Dame because of Miami's recent struggles. However, he stated that the Fighting Irish are performing below their expected rating and have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six games. The model's projections suggest that Miami's offensive production will overcome the defensive advantage held by Notre Dame.

The SportsLine Projection Model enters Week 10 with a record of 80 wins and 77 losses on its top-rated college football picks for the season. Analysts suggest that combining the three featured picks into a parlay would yield a payout of +617. This implies that a $100 wager could result in a profit of $617, although odds remain subject to change before the games begin.

The analysis is associated with a promotional code for BetMGM Sportsbook. New users can access up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their qualifying wager loses, or $150 in bonus bets if the first bet wins.

These projections are derived from the same extensive simulation data used for the college games. The goal is to offer bettors a comprehensive view of value across various sports events occurring on the same day.
