A Fox News betting feature published Oct. 16, 2026, outlined sportsbook promotions and wagering recommendations for college football’s Week 7 slate. It said six games between ranked teams were scheduled for that week and highlighted selected matchups, including Indiana–Ohio State, Alabama–Tennessee, Oklahoma State–Houston and Missouri–Ole Miss.
The article presented its selections as betting suggestions, not guaranteed outcomes. It also noted that odds could change. The supplied text does not include the full odds tables referenced in the article, so the recommendations below reflect only the figures and descriptions included in the text.
For Indiana against Ohio State, the feature highlighted Indiana running back Turbo Richard, reporting that he had gained 597 yards on 71 carries and scored five touchdowns during the season. It said he had a difficult outing against Nebraska the previous week and recommended a wager on him to score a touchdown at odds of -145. The article also described Ohio State’s defense as a difficult matchup.
The feature listed a Fanatics Sportsbook welcome promotion for new users. According to the article, customers could use the code FOXNEWS350 and receive $350 in FanCash after wagering $20 on a game that day. The supplied material does not describe additional eligibility terms or restrictions for the promotion.
For Alabama’s road game against Tennessee, the article recommended betting over 51.5 total points. It characterized Alabama as a substantial favorite following a loss and said Tennessee had won its previous game, while also noting the Volunteers’ earlier home loss to Texas. The feature argued that both teams could score and that the total had fallen considerably. It paired the recommendation with a FanDuel offer: bet $5 to receive a $50 bonus token, with the possibility of repeating the process for five consecutive days to earn $250 in bonus bets.
The Oklahoma State–Houston pick favored Houston to cover what the article called a short spread, citing the home-field setting as a possible advantage. The text said Oklahoma State was 4-1 and had lost to Tulsa, while also crediting the Cowboys with a win over Oregon. It described Houston as ranked 20th and said the team’s only loss was a close game against Texas Tech. The feature also listed a BetMGM promotion offering new users up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their first wager on the app lost, using promo code FOXNEWS.

For Missouri against Ole Miss, the article recommended betting over 58.5 total points. It reported that both teams had one loss and were ranked in the top 15. Missouri’s defeat, according to the text, came against Mississippi State three weeks earlier; Ole Miss had lost to Florida after beating LSU. The feature cited average scoring figures of 38.8 points per game for Ole Miss and 35.8 for Missouri as the basis for its over recommendation.
The Missouri–Ole Miss pick was associated with a bet365 promotion. The article said a $10 wager could earn $365 in bonuses whether the bet won or lost. It did not provide the promotion’s terms beyond that description.
