UNLV (9-2 SU/6-5 ATS) notched nine regular-season wins for the second straight year, after almost nothing but futility this century. In Week 14, the Rebels dumped Nevada 38-14 laying 17.5 points at home.

Boise State and UNLV met in Week 9, with the Broncos earning a 29-24 victory as 4-point road favorites. These two teams also met in last year's Mountain West Championship Game, with Boise State rolling 44-20 as 2.5-point road favorites.

This time around, the game is in Boise.

DraftKings Sportsbook opened Boise State -5.5 and moved to -5 shortly thereafter on Saturday night, then went to -4 this morning. The Broncos are getting 57% of early spread bets, but 85% of early cash is on the Rebels in the college football odds Week 15 market.

• Opening moneyline: Iowa State -115/Arizona State -105
• Opening total: Over/Under 50.5 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Arizona State is in the midst of a solid season on the field and at the betting window, at 10-2 SU and ATS. In Week 14, the Sun Devils went to Arizona as 7.5-point favorites and rolled 49-7, clinching a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game.

Iowa State (10-2 SU/7-5 ATS) needed to win in Week 14, and have BYU beat Houston, as well. Both those outcomes occurred. The Cyclones topped Kansas State 29-21 giving 2 points at home, and BYU beat Houston 30-18.

The Big 12 title game is at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Iowa State opened -1 in DraftKings' Week 15 college football odds. However, this morning, the line jumped the fence to ASU -1, then -2.5.

It's all Arizona State early on the spread, at 84% of tickets/86% of money.

• Opening total: Over/Under 49.5 points scored
• Time: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Georgia has a double-digit win total on the field, but is among the nation's worst at covering the number. Week 14 perfectly demonstrated both.

The Bulldogs (10-2 SU/3-9 ATS) dug themselves into a 17-0 halftime hole and still trailed Georgia Tech 20-6 after three quarters. But Georgia rallied to tie it at 27. Then eight overtimes later, the Bulldogs won 44-42, miles short of covering as 17-point home favorites.

Texas (11-1 SU/7-5 ATS) rebounded from its lone loss of the season – at home vs. Georgia – by winning five in a row. In Week 14, the Longhorns held off Texas A&M 17-7 giving 4.5 points on the road to reach the SEC Championship Game.

That ended a 1-4 ATS stretch for Texas, a slide that began in Week 8 against Georgia. In that matchup, the Bulldogs were 4-point road underdogs and jumped out to 23-0 halftime lead en route to a 30-15 victory.

The SEC final is at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, so it's a quasi-home game for Georgia. However, DraftKings Sportsbook opened Texas -1.5 in college football Week 15 odds, and the Longhorns went to -2, then -3 (-105) this morning.

It's now Texas -2.5 (-118), with 72% of spread bets/88% of spread money on the Longhorns.

DK opened the total at 49.5 and is down a tick to 49, with 53% of bets on the Over/78% of money on the Under.

Penn State vs. Oregon Odds

• Opening point spread: Oregon -3
• Opening moneyline: Oregon -148/Penn State +124
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

But for good measure, in a nonconference game vs. rival Washington, Oregon breezed to a 49-21 victory laying 17.5 points at home.

Penn State (11-1 SU/6-6 ATS) got a hugely unexpected gift in Week 14. Ohio State, a 19.5-point home favorite, shockingly lost to Michigan 13-10. So the Nittany Lions secured a Big Ten title-game spot by crushing Maryland 44-7 as 26.5-point home faves.

The Big Ten final is at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. DraftKings opened at Oregon -3 and went to 3.5 Saturday night, and the Ducks are now -3.5 (-105). It's all Oregon in early spread play, at 91% of tickets/92% of money.

The total moved from 51.5 to 50.5 Saturday night, then to 49.5 this morning. However, the Over is netting 65% of tickets/79% of cash.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Much like Penn State, Clemson got a big Week 14 gift that vaulted Dabo Swinney's squad into the ACC Championship Game. Miami, a 12-point favorite, blew a 21-0 second-quarter lead and lost at Syracuse 42-38.

However, the Tigers (9-3 SU/5-6 ATS) enter the conference final on a sour note. Clemson was a 2.5-point home favorite vs. South Carolina and lost 17-14 in a nonconference rivalry game.
