Other national title contenders in action on the Week 4 college football schedule include Alabama vs. Missouri, Oklahoma vs. Kansas State and Georgia vs. Arkansas. LSU is an 18-point favorite over Mississippi State, Alabama is giving Missouri 28 points, Oklahoma is laying 28 points against the Wildcats and Georgia is going off as a 27.5-point road favorite over the Razorbacks in the Week 4 college football odds from William Hill.

Top Week 4 college football predictions

One of the top Week 4 college football picks the model is recommending: Georgia (-27.5) goes to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and covers the spread in a 4 p.m. ET matchup against Arkansas. The Razorbacks went just 2-10 last season and will debut a new head coach and quarterback this season. Sam Pittman takes over for Chad Morris, while Florida transfer Feleipe Franks will be under center.

And while there's optimism that the Razorbacks will be more competitive in 2020, the model projects that Georgia's ground game will be simply too strong for an Arkansas defense that ranked last in the SEC against the run last season. Zamir White leads Georgia with 93 yards and a score on the ground in the simulations, while Kenny McIntosh (89 yards) and James Cook (77 yards) also make big contributions. The Bulldogs cover almost 60 percent of the time, making them a great value for Week 4 college football bets.

Another one of the top Week 4 college football predictions from the model: Ole Miss (+13.5) covers as a home underdog against Florida on Saturday in a noon ET kickoff that serves as the debut for Lane Kiffin in Oxford.

Matt Corral and John Rhys Plumlee are listed as the co-starters at quarterback for Ole Miss. That could make Kiffin's offense difficult to prepare for in this opener. Corral is the more accomplished passer after completing almost 60 percent of his passes last year. Plumlee, meanwhile, is a dangerous runner who piled up over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground last year.

The model predicts that the combination helps Ole Miss put up over 350 yards of total offense. And even with Kyle Trask approaching 300 yards passing for the Gators, the model predicts that's enough for Ole Miss to cover in well over 60 percent of simulations, while the under (57) hits almost 70 percent of the time.
