NICK BROMBERG: Welcome to "Yahoo Sportsbook Daily." It is Wednesday, November 3. And I am your betting guide, Nick Bromberg. We are here to break down the week 10 college football slate. Yes, it's week 10 already. Let's get rolling. We're going to start with a team that has not appeared frequently in our podcast so far. Liberty. Yes, Hugh Freeze's Liberty heads to Ole Miss noon on the SEC Network. It is Freeze's first trip back to Oxford since he was the Rebels coach. Ole Miss is favored by 9 and 1/2 points. The total in this game, 68 and 1/2.

Liberty is 6 and 3 against the spread this year, 3, 5, and 1 against the total, while Ole Miss is 4, 3, and 1 against the spread, and now 3 and 5 against the total after their loss to Auburn went under in week nine. Ole Miss is getting most of the action and the money here. 70% of bets. 80% of money. I like Ole Miss to cover this relatively easily. Take Ole Miss minus 9 and 1/2 unless we hear something about Matt Carroll's health status late in the week.

3:30 PM Eastern on ABC, we will get to see if undefeated Michigan State can follow up that big win over Michigan at Purdue. This is the Purdue team that knocked Iowa from the ranks of the unbeaten. Michigan State only favored by 3. The total in this game, 51 and 1/2. Michigan State is undefeated against the spread again this year. 6, 0, and 2. 4 and 4 against the total. Purdue, 4 and 4 against the spread and 1 and 7 against the total. Michigan State getting 73% of the bets and 2/3 of the cash.

I think the total is depressed here a little bit because of so many games for Purdue have gone under this season. I like over 51 and 1/2. And I would not be surprised to see Purdue pull the upset. At the same time on CBS, we've got Auburn heading to Texas A&M in a game for second place in the SEC West. A&M minus 4. The total here, 49 and 1/2. Both teams 5 and 3 against the spread. Auburn is 4 and 4 against the total, while A&M is 3 and 5. A&M is getting 60% of the bets, while Auburn is getting 60% of the money. I think this could be a relatively high scoring game. I like the over here. Over 49 and 1/2.

Same time on ESPN2, Tulsa heads to undefeated Cincinnati. The Bearcats, minus 22 and 1/2. The total here, 54 and 1/2. Tulsa is 3 and 5 against the spread, is 5, 2, and 1 against the total. Cincinnati, 5 and 3 against the spread and 4 and 4 against the total. Bearcats getting 65% of the bets, but just one third of the handle in this game. I think you should stay away from the line on this. Tulsa has to go 3 and 1 to make a bowl game after losing at home to a very bad Navy team last week. Take under 54 and 1/2, and expect a comfortable Cincinnati win, though I'm not sure it's 22 and 1/2 points.

And finally, the nightcap on Saturday night, another set of teams that we have not talked about at all on this podcast. UTSA at UTEP. UTSA, number 16 in the AP poll this week, the highest they have been in school history. The Road Runners are favored by 11 points. The total in this game, 52 and 1/2. UTSA is 7 and 1 against the spread, just 3 and 5 against the total, while UTEP 6 and 2 against the spread, 4 and 4 against the total. I like UTEP to cover 11 points here. I think UTSA wins this game outright. But I think UTEP gets a late cover in what could be a rocking Sun Bowl.

As far as today goes, we've got both action Wednesday night, and we've got some Champions League Soccer for you during the afternoon. Let's start with the American football first. My pick for the evening-- go under 66 and 1/2 points in Central Michigan at Western Michigan. And as far as the soccer goes, I like Porto to win outright at AC Milan. That's plus 260. And without Lionel Messi, I like a tie between Red Bull Leipzig and PSG. That is also at plus 260.

So to recap, on Wednesday, take the under in Central Michigan's game at Western Michigan. Take Porto to win outright at AC Milan. And a draw between Red Bull Leipzig and PSG. On Saturday, take Ole Miss minus 9 and 1/2, the over 51 and 1/2 in Michigan State's game at Purdue, over 49 and 1/2 in Auburn at Texas A&M, under 54 and 1/2 in Tulsa at Cincinnati, and UTEP plus 11 against UTSA at home.
