The Spread Zone | Red River Chaos, Oregon Blowouts, and Our NFL Bounce Back Oct 08, 2025

Show notes

Scott Rizzuto, Anthony Stalter, and Tim McKernan regroup after a brutal 7–15 week to attack the Week 7 college football slate and Week 6 in the NFL with renewed vengeance. The guys load up on Missouri to cover at home against Alabama, all back Texas in a suspicious Red River line, and ride with Oregon to blow out Indiana. Plus, they break down value on Pitt, Tennessee-Arkansas totals, and the Ohio State–Illinois mismatch. In the NFL, it’s Lions over Chiefs, Colts to roll, and Tampa-SF fireworks—with locks flying on Rams-Ravens over and Tennessee-Arkansas hitting the 90s. After a slate full of chaos, this is a full-send bounce back.

The Spread Zone is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook.
