Emory's got all sorts of college football plays, as usual. For Friday's action, he's taking East Carolina +5 vs. Cincinnati (8:00 p.m. ET). "Cincinnati needs their run game to be successful," Emory says. "ECU's defense will make this a one-dimensional game." Emory's also on UNLV +9.5 vs. Fresno State (10:30 p.m. ET). He likes that UNLV quarterback Doug Brumfield is back and healthy, which makes the Rebels offense much deadlier. In the FCS, Emory's playing Sacramento State-Portland State Under 67.5 (9:00 p.m. ET). "If this is going Over, this is going to be all Sacramento State," he says. "I don't think that's going to happen."

Chip's also playing the ECU-Cincinnati game. He's taking Under 52. "Cincinnati's passing attack is a negative value aspect of the offense," he says. "They need to be able to run the ball, and ECU's run defense is very, very good." 

Moving on to Saturday's action, Emory has some more FCS picks. In the Ivy League, he's playing Princeton -1.5 vs. Yale (Noon ET). "Princeton's defense hasn't given up more than 20 points all season long," Emory says. He's also on Fordham -16.5 vs. Lafayette, and Over 60.5 in that same game (1:00 p.m. ET). "Fordham's offense is too dynamic," Emory says. But the Rams defense isn't quite at that level, which makes the Over just as appealing.

Chip has three plays for Saturday. He likes Washington State -8 vs. Arizona State (3:30 p.m. ET). "Arizona State is one of those teams with an interim coach," Chip says. "Do they want to play in a bowl game? Or is this team getting their paperwork together for the transfer portal? Are these coaches getting together their resumes for their next jobs?" 

Next, Chip is playing two team totals. First, he likes Michigan Team Total Over 39 vs. Nebraska (3:30 p.m. ET). "Do you see a theme?" Chip jokes. "Another interim coach." He expects Michigan's defense to suffocate the Cornhuskers and make it easy for the Wolverines offense to run up the score.  

Finally, Chip's on North Carolina Team Total Over 36.5 vs. Wake Forest (7:30 p.m. ET). "Drake Maye is one of the best quarterbacks in the entire country," he says. "He is an absolue cheat code for this offense... North Carolina is going to be able to score against this Wake Forest defense."

As always, if you want to mirror Emory's FCS plays, check your sportsbook of choice on Saturday morning around 11:00 a.m. EST. That's when the lines usually become available to the public.
