Football fans should consider themselves lucky to even have Thursday Night Football tonight. Both the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers have had Covid-19 run rampant through their rosters. However, we learned this morning that the game will be played. Time to make some money on the NFL college football tonight.
2020 Record: 34-37

Best NFL Spread: Packers -7
The 49ers have had the worst luck this season. They will be without Jimmy Garoppolo, George Kittle, Tevin Coleman, Brandon Aiyuk, and Deebo Samuel tonight. Green Bay will be missing a few players tonight (particularly in the backfield) but they have the luxury of Aaron Rodgers under center.
San Francisco is better off punting this season. The injuries and positive Covid-19 tests are adding up, and they are falling behind in the NFC West. The Packers defense has been horrid and was exposed when Dalvin Cook scored four touchdowns last week. The 49ers’ injuries are too much, though, and the Packers will win big tonight.
Best CFB Spread: Nevada -16.5
Carson Strong may be one of the more underrated players in the country. He is seventh in the nation in passing efficiency and has yet to throw an interception on the season. They are not solely reliant on Strong, however, as they have the No. 13 ranked offense in college football. The defense for Nevada has been just a bit above average, but the offensive efficiency will make up for any problems the defense may cause.
Best Point Total: Wyoming vs Colorado State: O/52
Both teams have strong passing attacks and below-average defenses. There will be a lot of yards tonight which means a lot of points.
Bonus Friday Night Spread: BYU -3
Zach Wilson is skyrocketing up draft boards. BYU has scored 40-plus points six times, and Wilson has thrown for 400 yards in seven of their games. The math says that when Wilson throws for over 400 yards, they typically score 40-plus. When you score that many points, you usually win the game. While Boise State will be their toughest test yet, expect BYU to continue to put up big numbers as they look to crack the top-10.
