***Oklahoma State -3.5 vs Baylor There was some luck involved in Baylor’s 3-point home win vs an overrated Iowa State team this past Saturday. Iowa State’s offense managed 479 total yards vs Baylor’s 282 and the Cyclones nearly doubled Baylor’s total first downs (27-15). Oklahoma State’s defense is top 20 in the NCAA for yards allowed … [Read more...]
***Notre Dame +6.5 vs Wisconsin Notre Dame QB Jack Coan faces his old team this Saturday as the Irish face Wisconsin at Soldier Field in Chicago. Some will criticize Notre Dame for “squeaking by” teams many think they should’ve blown out, however Coan’s consistency (8 TD vs 2 INT) in those games should be noted – close wins or not. … [Read more...]
***Charlotte -3 vs Middle Tennessee State Middle Tennessee State has thrown in two clunkers after their blowout win vs Monmouth in week one. After last week’s loss, Blue Raiders starting QB Bailey Hockman (transfer from NC State) hung up his cleats and left the team. 5-11, 185 lb. junior QB Chase Cunningham will now take over the signal … [Read more...]
***Appalachian State -7 vs Marshall Appalachian State’s defense is good enough (5.1 yds per play – equal to Alabama!) and you would expect the defense to be extra tough at home on a chilly weeknight at "The Rock" in Boone, NC. Since 2018, Appalachian State is 10-6 (62%) ATS in non-conference games. For Marshall, their offense is their … [Read more...]

However, the Texans will now go with rookie QB Davis Mills, who will be making his first NFL start against a very well coached Carolina team. The Texans offense looked interesting with veteran Tyrod Taylor under center, but handing the offense to a … [Read more...]
***Northern Illinois +27.5 at Michigan ***Over 54 Michigan’s defense has been stout over their first two games; however, Washington and Western Michigan did not bring much to the table offensively. Enter Northern Illinois, who could very well be the best offense Michigan faces so far this season. The Huskies have averaged a solid 389 points … [Read more...]
***Ravens -4 ***Under 50.5 With Raiders RB Josh Jacobs downgraded to questionable for the Monday night matchup vs the Ravens, the dynamic of the Raiders offense may change a bit. This change falls right into the Ravens’ strength – the defensive backfield, who I expect to be that much more aggressive given that Las Vegas’ stud RB will … [Read more...]
***Virginia -10 vs Illinois ***Over 55 Virginia was a perfect 5-0 ATS at home last season and they continued that ATS streak with a cover at home vs William and Mary this past Saturday. Things get tougher this week vs Illinois, however Virginia should be able to score plenty vs an Illini defense that has given up 445 points (average) in … [Read more...]
