"Stanford Steve" Coughlin and Chris "The Bear" Fallica preview Week 8 of the 2022 college football season as only they can, offering their top bets, nuggets and totals worth wagering on. Take a look and see who the fellas like in the big UCLA Bruins and Oregon Ducks game on Saturday.

The plays
Troy Trojans at South Alabama Jaguars (-3, 46.5)
The Bear: Two teams that are largely going unnoticed in the grand scheme of things. Troy would be undefeated in league play if not for a Hail Mary by Appalachian State. Meanwhile, South Alabama is a last-second field goal by UCLA away from being undefeated. Both of these teams have had a knack for forcing turnovers this season, but I'll side with the better defense getting points on the road.
Pick: Troy +3
