Best games of the day per Las Vegas

So here are the 34 games that Las Vegas has as being decided by single digits today, Monday, 11/3/25. It doesn't mean they will all turn out that way as we know it's a bit of a crap shoot even for Vegas to figure out how good teams will be in an opener with all the roster turnover that we see in the NIL era. Still, these will be the games I will focus my attention on. I have a hard time watching a blowout between a Power 5 school (defined as the Power 4 plus the Big East in basketball) and a low-major or weak mid-major. Anyways, without further ado, here is the list for your viewing pleasure:
