I've got three favorites carrying prices nobody wants to lay straight up going into one ticket this afternoon, because stacking them together turns three unbettable numbers into one fair price. Oregon opened at home with a 34-27 win over Boise State under Dan Lanning and now takes its first true road trip of the season, but the opponent is what makes this an easy lean: Oklahoma State was beaten on the road by Tulsa, an American Athletic team, in its own opener, and a defense that let that happen has no answer for what Oregon just did to a quality Boise State roster. Penn State opened new head coach Matt Campbell's tenure with a 45-0 shutout of Marshall and now takes its own first true road trip, and while a new staff normally comes with some uncertainty, the roster Campbell inherited is the same one that was a Big Ten contender a year ago. Temple's 38-14 win over an FCS-level Rhode Island team says nothing about handling that much more talent on both sides of the ball. Michigan State gets to stay home under new head coach Pat Fitzgerald after beating Toledo 30-20, and Eastern Michigan is 1-1 with both of those results coming at home, meaning this afternoon is its first true test away from a friendly building against a Big Ten roster that's building real confidence in a new staff. Fitzgerald ran a Big Ten program for nearly two decades before this job, and that pedigree shows up as a defense that's already ahead of where a first-year staff normally sits in September. Combine Oregon at -1567, Penn State at -1900, and Michigan State at -809 into a three-team parlay at -387, and you're laying a fair price to bank three favorites with no business losing outright this afternoon.
