The headliner sends No. 2 Notre Dame to Provo to face No. 8 BYU, a game ESPN's College GameDay will be on hand for, with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit calling it in primetime on ABC. Notre Dame is a 10.5-point favorite, though the total has dropped from 48.5 to 46.5 as oddsmakers bet on two strong defenses slowing things down.\n\nElsewhere, No. 4 Ohio State gets a shot at revenge against No. 5 Indiana in the Big Noon slot on Fox, looking to avenge its loss to the Hoosiers in the Big Ten championship game. Ohio State is favored by 3.5 points. No. 6 Alabama tries to regroup against No. 14 Tennessee after falling to No. 1 Georgia, with that game airing on ABC. SEC Network has its own heavyweight matchup as No. 13 Missouri, led by Austin Simmons against his former team, takes on No. 9 Ole Miss.\n\nOut West, Oregon hosts Nebraska as a seven-point favorite without a settled answer at quarterback, since Dante Moore remains out with a concussion suffered against USC. Head coach Dan Lanning has not named a starter for Saturday.","published_at":"2026-10-15T17:19:56.150217+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"College football Week 7 picks, odds: Best bets for BYU-Notre Dame, weekend's games","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/betting/article/college-football-week-7-picks-odds-best-bets-for-byu-notre-dame-weekends-games-180959208.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"College football odds, picks, predictions for Week 7, 2026: Computer likes Penn State, Auburn","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/college-football-odds-lines-picks-predictions-spreads-best-bets-for-week-7-2026/"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"College Football Week 7 Expert Picks, Predictions For Ohio State-Indiana And More","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/college-football-week-7-picks-predictions-ohio-state-indiana-notre-dame-byu"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"College football picks ATS Week 7: Ohio State-Indiana, Notre Dame-BYU, more predictions","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7690277/2026/10/15/college-football-picks-spread-week-7-ohio-state-indiana-notre-dame-byu/"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Your 2026 Week 7 college football announcing schedule","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/2026-week-7-announcing-schedule.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Your 2026 Week 7 college football announcing schedule","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/2026-week-7-college-football-233059970.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"College Football Odds for Saturday, October 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/college-football-odds-saturday-october-184051076.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Updated ESPN FPI College Football Playoff odds entering Week 7","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/updated-espn-fpi-college-football-200250729.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"College football odds, picks, predictions for Week 7, 2026: Computer likes Penn State, Auburn","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/college-football-odds-lines-picks-predictions-best-bets-for-week-7-2026/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"College Football TV Ratings: Most-watched games of Week 6","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/college-football-tv-ratings-most-223842476.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"The 6 best college football games to watch in Week 7","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/6-best-college-football-games-111913347.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"College football Week 7 best bets: Northwestern, Missouri, Nebraska spread picks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/college-football-week-7-best-112431165.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"College football bets: Week 7 odds, parlays for favorites and underdogs include Ohio State vs. Indiana","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/college-football-bets-week-7-odds-parlays-for-favorites-and-underdogs-include-ohio-state-vs-indiana/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Colorado State vs. Texas State prediction, odds, time: Week 7 college football Thursday picks by proven model","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/colorado-state-texas-state-prediction-odds-time-week-7-college-football-thursday-picks/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"College football score predictions for Week 7, 2026: Model likes UCLA (-2.5) against Wisconsin","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/college-football-score-predictions-picks-odds-lines-bets-week-7-2026/"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"College Football Week 7 Odds, 5 Sleeper Games To Watch","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/college-football-week-7-odds-5-sleeper-games-watch"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/d16ba4299628ec05ff255d5c2afb31a323b574fa82428bb993d98313da2a3783/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fd29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net%2Fimages%2F2026-10%2Fe024341e-4253-40bb-b0f9-788b2c73a297","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
