Spread: UConn -21 | Will the Huskies cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 4 projections here
Despite failing to reach two wins in the first three games for the eighth straight season, UConn (1-2) is only a couple of plays from being unbeaten after consecutive overtime losses. The Huskies return home to face Ball State (1-2), which hasn’t beaten an FBS opponent outside the MAC since 2021. Quarterback Joe Fagnano has been steady for UConn, throwing for 865 yards and five touchdowns without an interception, and he could find success against a Ball State defense ranked among the nation’s worst against the pass.

Spread: Boise State -10 | Will the Broncos cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 4 projections here
Boise State (1-1) puts its 12-game winning streak against Mountain West opponents on the line Saturday night when it visits Air Force (1-1). The two-time reigning conference champions saw their College Football Playoff hopes take an early hit with a season-opening loss to South Florida, but the Broncos can still strengthen their path toward another league title with a road win in Colorado Springs. Former five-star high school recruit and Boise State wide receiver Chris Marshall is coming off a breakout performance when he caught four passes for 132 yards in a win against Eastern Washington.

Spread: California -12.5 | Will the Golden Bears cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 4 projections here
California true freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has not missed a step since winning the job in Berkeley to open the season, quickly emerging as a rising star both in the ACC and nationally. The former top-50 recruit in the 2025 class has powered the Golden Bears to a 3-0 start, putting them one win away from their best opening stretch since 2019 when they visit San Diego State (1-1) on Saturday night. The Aztecs and second-year coach Sean Lewis are just 1-5 at home against FBS opponents since the start of last season.
