We highlighted a handful of solid betting trends last weekend, including the Pitt-Syracuse under, the Tulsa-Oklahoma State under, and Navy plus the points.

Here are the top plays with Week 4 on the horizon.

Louisville trending over

Louisville was on most bettors' radar entering the year. The Cardinals had taken a step back in the ACC post-Lamar Jackson, but head coach Scott Satterfield is now in Year 2 with his system in place, which should mean big things for an offense that finished 2019 with a bang.

In case you hadn't noticed, Louisville has gone over the total in seven straight games dating back to last season, averaging a whopping 33.8 points per contest over that span.

The Cardinals will have to earn it if they want to make it eight straight - they travel to meet Pitt, which followed up a 55-0 win over Austin Peay in the opener by holding Syracuse to 170 yards of total offense last weekend.

Trend play: Over 55

Kentucky struggles to score as a road underdog

Kentucky's offense rarely shows up when getting points on the road. The Wildcats are 8-1 to the under in their last nine as road 'dogs, averaging a paltry 15.1 points per game over that period.

Feel free to play Kentucky's team total under in this spot against Auburn's defense, which allowed just north of three touchdowns per game in 2019.

Trend plays: Under 49.5, Kentucky team total under 21.5

Tulane vs. Conference USA means the under

Tulane will play Southern Miss for the second time in its last four contests, having met the Golden Eagles in a bowl game last winter. That one fell short of the total as most do when the Green Wave play a Conference USA program.

Willie Fritz's team is on a 6-0-1 run to the under when playing a program out of the C-USA, while Southern Miss has cashed seven unders in its last eight overall. Expect another low-scoring affair Saturday.

Trend play: Under 54.5

Georgia running hot on the road

Georgia and head coach Kirby Smart haven't been fazed playing away from home. The Bulldogs are an impressive 20-6 ATS over their last 26 road games and 21-6 ATS the last 27 when they're favored.

Week 4 will be a tuneup for Georgia, which travels to play SEC punching bag Arkansas.

Trend play: Georgia -26

Duke in for some points

Duke's offense has taken some time to get going. The unit scored just 13 points at Notre Dame in the opener and couldn't muster a touchdown at home last weekend against Boston College in a 26-6 loss.

However, the Blue Devils take on Virginia in possibly the ultimate buy-low spot. Duke is 21-5-2 to the over in its last 28 games following a double-digit home loss.

Trend play: Over 45.5
