2025 College Football Odds for Week 8

Louisville vs. Miami Odds

• Opening point spread: Miami -13
• Opening moneyline: Miami TBA/Louisville TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 53.5 points scored
• Time: 4 p.m. ET Friday (ESPN)

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Borgata Sports went from Miami -14 to -13.5, but is back at -14 on Monday night.

"Miami came into this season viewed as a team with the potential to make the College Football Playoff. The Hurricanes' undefeated start has them now ranked No. 2 in the country, and they have seen their national title odds come down to 8/1," Borgata Sportsbook director Tom Gable said.

Borgata's total is down a point, from 53.5 to 52.5.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 2 Miami (5-0 SU/4-1 ATS) got a breather with a bye in Week 7. The Hurricanes just completed a three-game Sunshine State sweep, winning and cashing against South Florida, Florida and Florida State.

In Week 6, Miami was a 3.5-point road favorite and beat the Seminoles 28-22.

Louisville (4-1 SU/1-4 ATS) also had a bye, perhaps much needed after its first loss of the season. In Week 6, the Cardinals fell to Virginia 30-27 in overtime as 6.5-point home favorites.

Circa Sports, highly regarded for its opening numbers, made Miami a 13-point favorite in college football Week 8 odds, at approximately 1:30 p.m. ET Sunday. There was no early spread movement, but the total nudged from 53.5 to 54 shortly after opening.

LSU vs. Vanderbilt Odds

• Opening point spread: Pick
• Opening moneyline: LSU TBA/Vanderbilt TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ABC)

Check out our comprehensive LSU vs. Vanderbilt prediction.

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Vanderbilt has gone from -1.5 to -2.5 in Borgata Sports' college football odds Week 8 market.

"We took some early Vanderbilt money," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "This Commodores team is capable of putting up a lot of point, but they were finally slowed down by Alabama two weeks ago."

So Vandy perhaps had a well-timed bye in Week 7.

"They have had time to prep for this much improved LSU defense, which has allowed only one opponent to score more than 20 points this season," Gable said.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 17 Vanderbilt (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) is rested after a week off, following a closer-than-the-final-score-indicated loss at Alabama. The Commodores led 7-0 and 14-7, and the game was tied at 14 at halftime.

Vandy was down 23-14 when 'Bama, looking primarily to run out the clock, scored a touchdown, and the Commodores lost 30-14 as 12.5-point underdogs.

No. 10 LSU (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) rebounded from its lone loss of the season, a Week 5 setback at Ole Miss. Following a bye week, the Tigers topped South Carolina 20-10 as 8.5-point home favorites.

Circa Sports opened this game at pick 'em in its college football odds Week 8 market. The line quickly moved to Vanderbilt -2.5, then went to -1.5/-2, before setting at -1 at 2:30 p.m. ET Sunday. The total climbed from 47.5 to 49.

Ole Miss vs. Georgia Odds

• Opening point spread: Georgia -6
• Opening moneyline: Georgia TBA/Ole Miss TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: As of 10 p.m. ET Monday night, Georgia is a 7-point home favorite for this SEC showdown of Top 10 outfits.

"Ole Miss is coming off an extremely lackluster effort on Saturday against Washington State. The Rebels were possibly looking ahead to this matchup against the Bulldogs," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "Georgia opened as 6.5 point home favorites.

"But we’ve had respected money lay the 6.5, and now it’s up to Georgia -7."

Borgata's total is up a point to 54.5.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 5 Ole Miss (6-0 SU/4-2 ATS) dodged a huge upset bid by Washington State in Week 7. The Rebels closed as massive 33.5-point home favorites and squeaked out a 24-21 victory.

No. 9 Georgia (5-1 SU/2-4 ATS) also didn't weren't particularly inspiring in Week 7. The Bulldogs trailed 10-3 at halftime, but shut out Auburn in the second half en route to a 20-10 victory giving 4.5 points on the road.

Circa opened Ole Miss-Georgia at Bulldogs -6 and quickly went to -6.5 just before 2 p.m. ET Sunday. The total was more on the move, jumping from 51.5 to 54 in Week 8 college football odds.

Texas Tech vs. Arizona State Odds

• Opening point spread: Texas Tech -10
• Opening moneyline: Texas TBA/Arizona State TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (FOX)

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: This line is on the move early in Borgata Sports' college football Week 8 odds. Texas Tech opened as 10-point road chalk and is out to -11.5.

"We've seen respected money lay the 10 and 10.5 on the Red Raiders," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said Monday. "Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt has been classified as week-to-week with his foot injury, after missing the Utah game on Saturday."

In addition, ASU offensive lineman Ben Coleman (arm) and linebacker Zyrus Fiaseu (lower-body injury) are out for the rest of the season.

"You’ll see more line movement in this game once more comes out on Leavitt’s status," Gable said.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 7 Texas Tech (6-0 SU/5-1 ATS) got a challenge from Kansas in the first half, but ran away in the second half. The Red Raiders were up 21-0 early in the second quarter, but led just 21-17 at the half.

But Tech didn't allow another point and rolled 42-17 as 14-point road favorites.

Arizona State (4-2 SU/3-3 ATS) was ranked No. 21 entering Week 7, but didn't have QB Sam Leavitt at Utah, and it showed. The Sun Devils got buried 42-10 as 9.5-point road underdogs.

Texas Tech opened -10 in Circa's college football odds Week 8 market, with a total of 51.5. There was no movement on the spread, but the total dropped to 50 by 2:30 p.m. ET Sunday.

Tennessee vs. Alabama Odds

• Opening point spread: Alabama -8
• Opening moneyline: Alabama TBA/Tennessee TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 60.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Alabama is painted to -8.5 so far in Borgata Sports' college football odds Week 8 market.

"It’s been relatively balanced action early on," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "Alabama has looked like a potential title contender again, as its runs this gauntlet of a schedule in the SEC.

"It doesn’t get any easier for the Tide this week, as the Vols are their fourth ranked opponent in a row."

Borgata's total nudged from 59.5 to 59.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 6 Alabama (5-1 SU/4-2 ATS) is on a three-game run against Top 20 talent. Coming off wins at Georgia and vs. Vanderbilt, the Crimson Tide went to Missouri as 3.5-point favorites and squeaked out a 27-24 victory.

No. 11 Tennessee (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) got all it could handle from unranked Arkansas in Week 7. The Vols trailed at multiple junctures, but pulled ahead 34-17 by early in the fourth quarter. Tennessee then held on for a 34-31 victory, failing to cash as 10-point home chalk.

Alabama hit Circa Sports' college football Week 8 odds as 8-point home chalk, with no early movement.

USC vs. Notre Dame Odds

• Opening point spread: Notre Dame -9
• Opening moneyline: Notre Dame TBA/USC TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 59.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (NBC)

EARLY WEEK UPDATE: Notre Dame is out to -9.5 in Borgata Sports' Week 8 college football odds, after opening -7.5 Sunday.

"USC played a dominant game against Michigan on Saturday night," Borgata sportsbook director Tom Gable said. "The Trojans ran for more yards than any other Michigan opponent all season, and also dramatically cut down on the penalties that have been plaguing them all year.

"Despite that effort, we have seen early money come in on the Irish. Notre Dame lost starting center Ashton Craig for the season, so a re-tooled offensive line will need to contain this Trojan pass rush."

The total is down a tick, from 62.5 to 62.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 13 Notre Dame (4-2 SU/3-3 ATS) aims to keep its name in the College Football Playoff conversation. In Week 7, the Fighting Irish drilled North Carolina State 36-7 giving 24 points at home.

No. 20 USC (5-1 SU/3-3 ATS) has a chance to put together a couple of eye-catching wins. In Week 7, the Trojans thumped Michigan 31-13 as 3-point home favorites.

Circa Sports opened Notre Dame -9 and dropped to -8 within about 30 minutes Sunday. The total, however, climbed from 59.5 to 61.
