0:56
Of the biggest games this week. Starting with Thursday's game.
1:01
And the two games on. Friday followed up.
1:04
Bye. 10 more games on. Saturday, thank you for joining
1:12
me. And let's get into it.
1:16
The first game up, we have the Rice aisles versus the Charlotte
1:22
49ers. The Rice aisles enter this.
1:26
Game two in one on the season. And the Charlotte 49ers enter
1:33
this contest. One and two.
1:37
The total set at 44 1/2. The spread has the Charlotte
1:42
49ers as the underdogs at. Plus 2 1/2.
1:48
And they are the money line underdogs at plus. 125 This game
1:55
will be close all teams. Are very even.
2:01
It helps. It's here in Charlotte.
2:05
But something about? Rice going from that minus. 5
2:10
1/2 open favor down to -2 1/2. Shows that the sharps are
2:18
hammering away at the Charlotte. Team which hasn't shown us
2:25
really anything to be happy about.
2:29
That last game against Monmouth is a misnomer.
2:36
Now, Rice isn't a great team, but they did.
2:40
Play Houston, and Houston didn't.
2:45
Bring out the best in rice. But they did make them.
2:50
Elevate their game. Let them know what they're up
2:53
against. And I think that.
2:55
Helps them. So I like rice.
2:58
To win. The arm of their quarterback.
3:03
Chase Jenkins. Will help lead the way where you
3:08
have a little bit more of a seasoned quarterback on the
3:12
other side and Connor Harrell, but the issue that they're.
3:16
Going to have is that this? Rice team seems.
3:21
To want to be in a dogfight, they want to have you come into
3:28
the mud with them. And wrestle it out.
3:32
Charlotte's going to have to do that.
3:36
Total is great at 44 and a. Half, I think it goes.
3:40
Over that's. Held steady since the Open.
3:44
But my favorite place? To be is the over in this game.
3:49
You have some standouts on each side.
3:54
One on the rice owl side is their running back.
3:59
Quentin. Jackson, 46, carries 2.
4:01
Touchdowns. And 213 rushing.
4:04
Yards. He comes in as the number one
4:08
back. In this game on Thursday night.
4:12
On ESPN, on the defense. All teams are evenly matched.
4:21
It is the linebacker Ty Morris on the Rice Owls that will lead
4:27
the charge. As he has 20 tackles.
4:31
Already this season and flipping it over to the Charlotte 49ers.
4:37
To be fair, Jacarius. Conley has 20 tackles.
4:42
Then you could look at their stud wide receiver who is the
4:47
premier. Offensive weapon that they have
4:51
EJ Mason was able to. Show a lot of his.
4:54
Best stuff in that last game. He has 16 catches.
5:00
For 284 receiving yards and three.
5:03
Touchdowns this season. I think the total.
5:07
Is just the best spot to be. He goes plenty.
5:11
Over 44 and a. Half Once these teams get going
5:17
in the Rice Owls find a way to win and I don't think it's
5:23
pretty. I don't think it's a game that
5:27
we've seen in the past with this. 49ers offense these.
5:32
Last two seasons. Little bit of an air raid.
5:36
Rice Isles very run heavy. It's starting.
5:42
To open up a little bit more and I'm not that confident in these
5:48
defenses taking a. Look at the 1st.
5:52
Game on Friday night. 6:30 PM. Central Time kickoff on ESPN.
6:00
The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes will face the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
6:06
The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes are one and two this season.
6:11
The Oklahoma State Cowboys. Are one and one the total.
6:16
Is set at 53 1/2. The Tulsa Golden Hurricanes.
6:22
Are the plus 11 1/2 underdogs at the spread and they are the +3
6:30
to? One money line underdogs at.
6:34
Plus. 340 This game has taken an.
6:40
Interesting. Turn on the ESPN matchup
6:44
predictor. Oklahoma State comes in favored
6:49
82.6%, leaving 17 point. 4% to favor Tulsa.
6:59
And I think Tulsa comes in with a little bit of an edge.
7:06
I think their defense is a little.
7:08
Bit better suited for this. Style of play.
7:13
And I think the quarterback is better, the rushing.
7:17
Attack. Is a little bit better too, I
7:21
think, in all phases. We'll have to see how special
7:25
teams pans out, but plus 11 1/2 and -115 odds, that is beautiful
7:36
and that is a gift between these.
7:40
Quarterbacks, I really like what?
7:45
Baylor Hayes has been able to do even though he's had.
7:51
Very different defenses and styles of coverage thrown at
7:58
him. He's hung in the.
8:00
Pocket it is a. Little bit of a dynamic.
8:04
Quarterback, it's going to take. Him time to.
8:07
Develop, but Baylor Hayes is 36 for 50.
8:13
Four with two touchdowns and two interceptions on the season.
8:17
With 323 passing yards. Opposed to the Oklahoma State.
8:23
Quarterback Zane Flores, who has 203 passing.
8:29
Yards. Has gone 20 for 30.
8:32
Nine in two interceptions. We'll see if he even starts this
8:40
game. But after a 69 to three loss.
8:47
To Oregon, Oklahoma State. Is reeling.
8:53
Tulsa has, at least. Been in the mix, They've won a
8:59
game this season. They've lost their last two.
9:03
They were in the. Game and each one the game
9:07
against Navy, they were outmatched.
9:11
But I believe this. Oklahoma State team is
9:13
outmatched too. Plus 11 1/2 is the best bet.
9:20
Total of 53 1/2. I won't hold my breath.
9:24
But I think it goes under. Polza has a chance to win, but
9:31
there might be just so much riding on this Oklahoma State.
9:35
Program and the head. Coach here to win this game that
9:41
we may just see something good come out of all of it in the end
9:45
here, but I'm going to go with. Tulsa for the upset at plus 340,
9:52
the three to 1 underdog. On the money line, but the best
9:56
bets going to be the spread plus 11 1/2.
10:00
For Tulsa and we step. On Next.
10:04
Up we have an interesting match up.
10:07
The Iowa Hawkeyes face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and
10:13
people have this game wrong. The match up predictor has this
10:18
game right 57% to the Rutgers side, leaving 4 to 3% flat for
10:28
the. Iowa side, if it was Iowa State,
10:33
I would say, Yep, give them the win.
10:38
But this is Rutgers, who's 3 and O.
10:41
Iowa's two and one. All teams are in the fight this
10:45
year, but Rutgers has just a little more going, little more
10:50
juice. Little more in the tank and in
10:55
this Big 10 matchup on Friday night at 7:00 PM.
10:59
Where you can watch on. Fox in Piscataway, NJ.
11:06
It will be Rutgers. To pull out the upset.
11:11
Total set at 40. 5 1/2 points. The money line underdogs are the
11:18
Rutgers Scarlet. Knights who I believe will win
11:21
at plus 120 get it while it's hot and the.
11:26
Spread has the Rutgers Scarlet. Knights has the underdogs plus 2
11:34
1/2. Let's be real here, this
11:37
quarterback for Rutgers. Is on the Heisman Watch.
11:42
List he has 800. And 21 passing yards on 62
11:49
completions and 85 passing attempts.
11:53
His name is Athan Calacomanis with 7 total touchdowns.
12:01
Through three. Games of competition this season
12:07
on the other side, Mark. Ronowski, who I think is a
12:14
scrappy quarterback, 37 completions on 63 attempts for
12:21
306 yards 3. Touchdowns and one interception,
12:26
but it could have been more than that.
12:29
Rushing. Still, you got to.
12:32
Give the nod to Rutgers. Not just because of what it.
12:36
Says on paper, but actual. In game action.
12:43
But on paper, it definitely benefits Rockers with Antoine
12:48
Raymond. Leading the charge with two. 148
12:52
yards rushing on 43 carries and five.
12:55
Total touchdowns in just three. Games on the other side, you
13:01
look at the Iowa rushing attack led by Xavier.
13:05
Williams and he has gone. For 186 rushing.
13:09
Yards on 26. Carries for one touchdown when
13:15
you look at how these. Two teams stack up when the
13:18
defense is remotely good. Iowa slows down the comeback
13:23
down to Earth. You got to show some left of
13:26
both. Defenses here on Iowa Jayden.
13:30
Harrell is leading the charge. The linebacker has 19 tackles.
13:34
In the way the defense stacks up leaves the defensive back cage.
13:41
Sanders leading the charge with. 16.
13:44
Tackles for the Rutgers team. But it's just been a much.
13:49
Different story, Nearly everybody.
13:53
They've faced, they've routed. The competition gets stiffer
13:58
now. But I think Rutgers stiffens
14:01
off. I don't think they fold.
14:06
I think. Iowa falls off a little bit in
14:10
this game, Rutgers. Leads the way?
14:15
The quarterback. Is going.
14:16
To lead a very nice aerial assault down the field,
14:22
strategically go over that a. 1000 passing yard mark in just
14:30
four games. I believe he will do it.
14:34
And get at least 2 passing touchdowns against this Iowa
14:39
defense, which is going to be on the.
14:42
Field a lot. The total of 45 1/2.
14:48
Again, I'm not going to hold my breath.
14:49
I think it goes. Over Even though it's big 10
14:52
action, game can get slowed down.
14:56
You're going to have the. Running backs for both sides.
15:00
Ready to pop a big? 1 That's going to result in a
15:03
touchdown. One way or another, especially
15:08
going to result. In good field position.
15:13
Then you have. The object of fumbles and.
15:19
Interceptions and the rest of. What special teams is going to?
15:24
Do so I love plus. 2 1/2. Or Rutgers at the spread.
15:31
But plus 120 on the money line. For the Rutgers who?
15:37
Are the home team and are undefeated makes the most sense
15:43
and that is my best bet for this game moving into Saturday's
15:48
action. For the.
15:50
Big Noon kick off even though it's 11:00 AM Central time.
15:55
We have. Texas Tech up against the Utah
15:58
Utes. In the Red Raiders, representing
16:02
the big. 12 Roland the Utah You can watch this game on FOX 11 AM
16:10
Kickoff All teams undefeated in the top 25, three and no records
16:20
and you will see each team show glimpses and signs of
16:27
brilliance. The quarterback for Texas Tech
16:33
paired. With this.
16:35
Rushing attack in these? Really.
16:38
Good wide outs which? There are.
16:40
Plenty of them on this. Red Raiders team.
16:44
Give me a lot of hope. They will pull this victory.
16:47
Off total set at 58 1/2. The Texas Tech Red Raiders are
16:54
the plus 3 1/2 underdogs at the spread, and they're the plus.
17:00
130 money line underdogs. You have the quarterback, Baron
17:08
Morton, 57 for 80. One 923 passing yards and 11
17:18
touchdowns with only one mistake, 1 interception.
17:24
Then you have the running. Back Adam Hill. 24 carries for
17:29
207 rushing yards in their top wide receiver Coy Eakin, who's
17:37
reeled in 12 targets for 245 yards receiving and three.
17:43
Touchdowns. I do think we get points and
17:47
bunches and the Utah Utes. Have their home crowd.
17:53
Behind them, with Devin Dampierre, the.
17:57
Leading passer and rusher. On this Utah Ute's team.
18:03
He has 628 yards passing, 198 yards rushing.
18:10
He's. Thrown 7 touchdowns on 60. 5
18:14
for. 89 passing when you. Look at this wide receiver core.
18:21
It's Ryan Davis Who? Stands out with 19 catches. 171
18:26
yards. Receiving and one touchdown,
18:30
this defense has a standout in John.
18:35
Henry Daly, who has five. Sacks.
18:40
Already this season in three. Games of play.
18:44
And also. 13 tackles. Utah has had some.
18:51
Very interesting competition, but they.
18:54
Have dominated now they're. Up against a Red Raiders team,
18:59
that's a little bit sharper. And has also been dominating.
19:05
They just recently beat Oregon State 45 to. 14 Kent State 62 to
19:13
14 and. In their home opener, they
19:18
completely obliterated the Arkansas.
19:21
Pine Bluff Golden Lions 6727. Now you can.
19:27
See that this Red Raiders team has been very comfortable.
19:33
They've been at. Home for their last three.
19:38
Games. Hitting the road after Utah.
19:45
Went out to Wyoming and handled business.
19:50
And now has returned slept in their own.
19:52
Beds. I think we have the sense that
19:56
we're. Going to get a very.
19:58
Good and competitive game. Which brings out points so over.
20:04
58. And a half is great, but +3?
20:09
And a half right now. For Texas Tech.
20:13
Is my best bet in that game. At -130 odds is a very good
20:21
deal. And I do believe.
20:24
The Texas Tech Red Raiders. Win that contest next.
20:29
Up we have the Arkansas Razorbacks up against the
20:32
Memphis. Tigers and the Memphis Tigers.
20:35
Have been a quiet surprise, winning three games already this
20:39
year with no. Losses.
20:42
On their record, they're up against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
20:47
Who are looking to. Deliver for the loyal.
20:51
Fan base one of the most loyal in college football.
20:57
The Arkansas Razorbacks. Are two in one.
21:00
Playing great football hard. Not to go with them even though.
21:04
They're on the road, should be great weather little bit.
21:08
Cloudy. Watch this on ABC 11 AM Kickoff
21:14
Total set at 60. 3 1/2. Memphis are the home underdogs,
21:21
sitting at +7 and 1/2. At the spread and plus 2:30.
21:27
On the money line, I know a lot of people want to take a stab at
21:32
Memphis here. I think they.
21:35
Will prevail on the spread. At +7 and 1/2.
21:40
But I love the total. It's been moving up.
21:44
It opened at 61 1/2. It's at 60. 3 1/2.
21:50
Let's keep it going, Arkansas. Has the ESPN matchup predictor
21:58
favorability going their way? With 59.7% of it.
22:03
The rest of the pie? Goes to Memphis with 40. .3% and
22:09
I think it's going to. Be a very close game.
22:12
I'm not. Going to hold it.
22:13
Against Memphis, if they find a way to win, we'll see what
22:18
happens. Total.
22:21
At 63 1/2 is. Good.
22:24
You know when you look at these teams the best.
22:28
Bet is the spread plus. 7 1/2 we can.
22:34
Basically justify it on paper when you look at their
22:38
quarterback Brendan Lewis. Who doesn't want to make a lot
22:42
of mistakes? 55 for 75.
22:45
Passing has. Gone for 608 yards, 2 touchdowns
22:50
and one interception. Then you have the running back
22:56
who's done very well. Sutton Smith. 247 yards rushing
23:02
on 41 carries. With four touchdowns.
23:07
That's a pretty good few. Notches in the belt.
23:12
The top wide receiver needs a touchdown.
23:16
He's pretty much the. Anchor in that wide receiver
23:20
group, Jamari. Hawkins 9 receptions.
23:26
For 170. 6 yards Get this main a touchdown.
23:32
Look at this Arkansas Razorbacks team and how their.
23:37
Offense stacks up. I can see why people are rushing
23:45
to bet on them, to fit them into those good old Saturday parlays.
23:52
Those nice three. Leg four leg Mantis teasers.
24:01
But when you have a quarterback who leads your team in passing
24:05
and rushing? I tend to back off a little bit.
24:10
So you have Taylon Green, who is doing.
24:16
Fairly well this year, but they ran up into a pretty good
24:20
defense last. Game.
24:23
He took some serious punishment. We'll see how this Arkansas
24:28
team. Responds.
24:31
When you look in Memphis, they've outdone themselves.
24:36
They've really been feeling good these last few weeks.
24:45
How good do they? Feel after two Rd.
24:49
Games coming back home. They have to feel really well.
24:55
Again, they have a linebacker in Sam.
24:59
Broomfield 3 sacks, 17 tackles. Leading this defense.
25:07
On the other side. Stefan Dicks, junior.
25:12
With 23 tackles at the linebacker.
25:15
Position, but Taylon Green with that 11 touchdown. 866.
25:23
Yard mark on the season. Pretty solid.
25:28
I don't favor that rushing attack though, so I understand
25:35
why everybody's going you. Know.
25:37
Go with Arkansas. It makes the most sense.
25:41
They're the more disciplined team.
25:43
But I'm going to have to pick Memphis when you look at it.
25:48
For what it's worth, they. Play a team game.
25:53
They're playing a system game. And that's what you're going to
25:57
have to have. That's what you're going to
25:58
need. And the way Memphis.
26:01
Plays their style of play. Being a balanced offensive.
26:06
Attack and a very good. Defense.
26:10
That will really help them. Overcome the size of that
26:13
offensive line for Arkansas, which historically they.
26:19
Always recruit a pretty good offensive.
26:22
Line the next game is a little bit.
26:27
Easier to pick a winner in. But that's about it.
26:33
We have the SMU Mustangs. First, the PCU Horn Frogs 11 AM
26:38
kick off Central. Time Watch on ESPN 2.
26:43
The Mustangs are two and one, the Horn Frogs are two and O
26:48
total set at 64. And a half the Mustangs.
26:52
Are the underdogs +6? And 1/2 at the.
26:55
Spread and plus. 210 on the money line.
27:02
ESP NS Matchup Predictor has TCU favored to win this at 67. .4%
27:10
and SMU. With 32.6%.
27:13
Of the pie the problem? With.
27:17
SMU is their quarterback. Kevin Jennings is not reading
27:21
the defenses well enough to win this game.
27:26
They have a great. Offensive group, but they're.
27:30
Going to be held back. By their quarterback's
27:32
inability. To read defensive coverages.
27:38
And The thing is, he can. He will get.
27:41
Better, but right now he's barely breaking.
27:45
Even on these things. When you look at the.
27:47
Passing yards he's getting. You have to attribute that to
27:51
his top wide receivers like Romello Brinson, who's gone for
27:56
314 receiving yards. On 15 catches.
28:00
And three touchdowns. The rushing attack led by TJ
28:07
Hardin with 42 carries and 253 yards.
28:11
Rushing and five touchdowns. Already this year is just a
28:16
tribute. To how well this offense has
28:20
been getting along, the defense has done its bar.
28:25
It's. Going to be a great game after
28:28
careful consideration. I like.
28:32
The SMU Mustangs at plus 6 1/2 on the.
28:35
Spread. I believe it goes over. 64 1/2
28:40
total. Points TCU holds on and wins
28:46
-250 on the money line, the. Reason I'm.
28:51
Adamant about TCU winning is. Because their quarterback Josh.
28:58
Hoover has steadied the ship. 621 passing yards on 48 for 63
29:06
passing. With six touchdowns and only one
29:10
mistake, and that mistake anybody could have made.
29:16
Their running back, Kavarion Barnes, with 21 carries, 456
29:23
yards and a touchdown has really.
29:27
Helped this team out. Then you look at receiver where
29:32
Jordan Dwyer with. 14 catches and two touchdowns.
29:37
Going for 200. And 25 yards has helped push
29:41
the. Pace for this TCU team.
29:46
Early on, it might stall. Out a little bit.
29:50
But I just don't see anybody until they get to some.
29:55
Very stiff. Competition.
29:56
I don't see anybody. Right now.
29:59
Holding TCU's offense down? Not in this game.
30:04
SMU's defense is going to be. On the back burner.
30:08
TCU's defense is going. To be on the back burner.
30:12
I think Jennings does. Throw at least one interception.
30:17
But it's going to. More than likely throw a
30:20
touchdown and run one in. To keep this game competitive,
30:25
he may have to because I think TCU is going to go.
30:31
On a scoring spree so I like the over.
30:36
Great place to be. It will probably drop in the
30:41
1st. 5 minutes if no one. Scores but after that I think it
30:46
goes very high and SMU covers. A + 6.
30:53
And a half that. Is the best bet.
30:57
Plus 6 1/2 at even money is a wonderful place to be.
31:05
Our next game is a Big 10 rivalry between Michigan and
31:10
Nebraska. And the Wolverines face the
31:13
Cornhuskers. In a Big Ten matchup where 11
31:19
big 10 teams. Are undefeated right now.
31:23
That's insane. Michigan is.
31:27
Two and one Nebraska is 3 and O. And Michigan would love to.
31:34
Hand, Nebraska, their first loss of the year.
31:38
And I think they can. I think they will.
31:43
Total set at 45 1/2 Nebraska. Is the plus. 2 1/2 underdogs at
31:51
the spread. And the plus 120 underdogs on
31:55
the money line. Kickoff is at 2:30 PM.
32:01
And you can watch this game on CBS.
32:06
I'd like Michigan to win -140 on the money line.
32:11
That total of 45. And a half.
32:14
We're looking at an over at some point these defenses are going
32:21
to give. I do like a close spread, so
32:26
Nebraska probably covers that spread.
32:30
But picking a winner, Michigan wins.
32:35
In their last game, they beat Central Michigan 60. 3:00 to
32:40
3:00 Nebraska was impressive. They beat Houston Christian 59
32:49
to 7, and they've been playing. Very well, this year they played
32:56
a very. Close game against Cincinnati,
33:00
20 to 17. While Michigan lost their.
33:05
Only game. This year so.
33:07
Far to Oklahoma 20. 4 to 13 when you.
33:14
Look at that Michigan offense. Their quarterback, Bryce
33:18
Underwood, has gone 46 for. 80 passing. 628 passing.
33:25
Yards, 2 touchdowns and one interception this season.
33:30
It's been the running back. Justice Haynes, who has led this
33:36
offense and kept them in fighting shape. 49 carries for
33:42
388 yards and five touchdowns. On the season, I think the play
33:48
action is going to be spotted. Out for both teams by the
33:54
second-half, it's. Going.
33:56
To be a matter of. Can the defenses?
33:58
Stop the play action, Nebraska. Does it?
34:03
Michigan does it. Michigan does it more so.
34:08
To straight up throw a nice pass and get a first down or a
34:13
touchdown, Nebraska does it more so for their quarterback Dylan
34:21
Rayola to run. To take off.
34:24
So it's going to be interesting to see.
34:25
How that pans out? But he's been sharp.
34:30
I like Dylan Rayola. This season he is on the Heisman
34:33
watch list without a doubt. Going 72 for 94829.
34:40
Passing yards and eight touchdowns.
34:44
It's been. A sight to see their running
34:48
back as a monster. Emma Johnson. 52 carries, 4
34:52
touchdowns, 326 yards rushing. If Michigan doesn't find a way
34:58
to deal with him. Early on or slow down the
35:02
Nebraska offense. They're going to be in for a
35:05
long day. Nebraska's top receiver Dane Key
35:11
has 13 receptions, 3 touchdowns and 190 yards receiving.
35:18
This defense for. Nebraska is a pretty solid group
35:23
led by Deshawn. Singleton at the defensive back
35:27
position who has 12 tackles, showing that they like to play
35:33
a. Little bit of that press
35:34
coverage, bring a defensive back up front.
35:39
And have him run in try to make a play.
35:44
On the flip side, it's more of a.
35:49
Systematic defense with Ernest. Hausman leading the helm for
35:54
that Michigan. Wolverines front he has. 20
35:59
tackles and he. Will have to be all over this
36:03
Nebraska offense. I think this total goes over 40.
36:09
5 1/2. I do think the defenses start
36:12
holding up a little. Bit better towards.
36:14
The end of the game it's going. To be a matter of who has the
36:18
ball. Last, who wins?
36:21
I believe. Nebraska covers that plus. 2 1/2
36:25
but I wouldn't hold my. Breath like.
36:27
Michigan to win -1. 40 That's my.
36:30
Best bet for that game. Next up we have.
36:34
The North Carolina Tar Heels on the road to face the University
36:41
of Central Florida. Golden.
36:44
Knights. And the Knights are going.
36:47
To look very sharp in this game, The North.
36:52
Carolina's got a lot better, total of 46 1/2.
36:59
The North Carolina Tar Heels are the plus. 6 1/2 underdogs.
37:03
At the spread in the plus. 200 money line underdogs.
37:10
Kick off at 2:30. PM Watch it on Fox.
37:15
North Carolina's two and one on the year and the Knights.
37:19
Are two and O in this game? I'm looking forward to seeing
37:25
where this. Quarterback for the.
37:29
North Carolina Tar Heels is Gio Lopez. 31 for 53, three
37:37
touchdowns, 1 interception at 343 passing yards.
37:43
Their running back. Demon, June. 23 carries for 200
37:48
yards rushing and a touchdown. And then their wide receiver,
37:52
their top flight guy, Jordan Shipp.
37:55
Then catches 100 and. 49 yards. And two touchdowns.
38:00
The defense. Led by their anchor Andrew.
38:02
Simpson with 22 tackles on the season he's having.
38:06
To put in a lot. Of work.
38:09
It's not a big pass. Rush.
38:12
So I could tell you. That total of 4 to. 6 1/2.
38:15
Is going over. That's my best bet.
38:20
I believe the Central Florida. Knights win, but the Carolina
38:28
Tar. Heels a + 6.
38:29
And a half is a nice side bet. This quarterback for Central
38:35
Florida. Is sharp, doesn't make mistakes.
38:39
Literally. Taven Jackson, 29, for. 45.
38:43
Two touchdowns, no interceptions.
38:47
Holds onto the ball. 471 passing yards.
38:52
Right now their top running. Back is Jayden Nixon was only
38:56
got. 6 carries. Two of those are touchdowns and.
39:01
150 rushing yards. So in two games, he's exploded
39:06
onto the scene. Their top receiver, Wayne
39:11
Thomas, junior, 7, catches, 117 yards.
39:14
He'll be looking to get his first.
39:15
Touchdown of the. Year now I.
39:19
Think they have an interesting defense.
39:23
Right off the bat, this. Season.
39:26
They proved their doubters wrong.
39:28
Beating Jacksonville State, holding them to 10 points,
39:32
winning 17 to 10. Then they played North.
39:36
Carolina A. And T Aggies beating them 68 to
39:41
7. Their best defensive tackler
39:46
right now is. Cole Kozlowowski with 11 tackles
39:52
and off the edge it's Nyjah Jack Kelly with a 1 1/2 sacks.
39:59
So neither one of these teams is.
40:02
Big on a pass rush, so you're going.
40:06
To see these offenses. Thrive in this environment.
40:11
Great weather in Orlando, FL at the FBC Mortgage stadium.
40:17
I love the over. Let's ride.
40:20
All right, my friends, this next.
40:23
Game features 2 prolific offenses and two defenses that.
40:30
Sometimes will rise. To the occasion.
40:33
I think for North Carolina. State more times than not.
40:37
As the Wolfpack heads into Durham, NC.
40:43
To Wallace Wade. Stadium where they will face.
40:46
The Duke Blue Devils total set of 58 1/2.
40:52
North Carolina State on the road is the plus 3 1/2 underdogs at
40:55
the spread on the money line plus 135.
41:01
Underdogs Duke is 1 and 2 and has.
41:05
Yet to impress. Me this season.
41:08
Watch this game on ESPN. Two kick off at 3:00.
41:11
PM North Carolina State is undefeated in the ACCI think
41:19
they will win this game. When Duke has been at home, the
41:24
crowd's been there, but they have not.
41:27
The team has not in Mensa. Again, it's a lot like the
41:33
situation in SMU. He's not.
41:37
Reading the defenses right. So he's gone over 1000 yards
41:43
passing. Let's break it down. 84119 a
41:49
1036 yards. Passing 8 touchdowns and two
41:52
interceptions. He's a very good quarterback.
41:56
He will get better. But they've lost their last two
42:01
games and their big win was against Elon.
42:06
So in this game I do think Duke will be good in their.
42:10
First quarter. They seem to be good there and
42:13
in the second. Half they seem to rally, so
42:16
maybe fourth quarter something there if you play quarters.
42:21
But this NC State team is battle tested.
42:24
The last three games. Have all been against
42:29
competition that was. Around their level first East
42:33
Carolina University they defeated. 2417 then the.
42:37
University of Virginia, 35 to 30.
42:40
One then Wake Forest, The Demon Deacons. 34 to 20. 4 where they
42:46
come off that game-winning feeling.
42:49
Very good about where they're at.
42:52
They have the better running back.
42:54
Let's talk about him, Hollywood. Smothers 63, carries 3.
42:59
Touchdowns. And 380.
43:01
Yards once he gets going. It's going to be a nightmare for
43:05
that Duke defense, the quarterback for NC.
43:10
State CJ Bailey, Right place, right time.
43:15
Making the right throws accurate.
43:18
Not making many mistakes. 1 interception, 5 touchdowns. 63
43:23
for 89 passing. 719 yards. Their top receiver?
43:30
Wesley Grimes. 9 catches, 1 touchdown 100 and. 73 yards.
43:35
Receiving and they have a. Great linebacker who will be a
43:41
pro. Sean Brown, 31 tackles already.
43:44
This season. I like that Duke has somewhat of
43:49
a pass rush. Could make for a very exciting
43:53
finish. Totaled at 58 1/2.
43:55
A little bit high, but I think the offenses.
43:58
Will at some point have to explode.
44:01
And after all of the. Points in Sioux, NC State will
44:05
be standing. Tall, so I like them on the
44:08
spread as the best bet plus 3 1/2.
44:12
And I think they have a very talented team, I think being
44:17
battle tested. They're not going to be phased
44:20
by the crowd. It's going to be great weather.
44:24
They're going to appreciate this.
44:26
Game and the very good competition that Duke is.
44:30
Going to bring their way. This next game.
44:34
Should be easier to pick. The Florida Gators take on the
44:38
Miami Hurricanes. the Hurricanes are ranked #4 in the country 3
44:43
and O. The Gators are one and two.
44:46
Playing some good competition game on ABC. 6:30 PM Kick off
44:53
the Miami Hurricanes just have the better team.
44:56
Total set at 51 1/2. Hurricanes are -7 1/2 on the.
45:01
Spread and the plus 250 underdog Florida Gators have a.
45:10
Shred of hope to win. Their quarterback?
45:15
DJ Lagway, again, he is a quarterback that.
45:19
Is not looking off the defenses effectively and on the road in
45:24
this. Type of environment I expect him
45:28
to crumble. Miami.
45:30
Will win florida's offense will struggle to get going it's.
45:34
Going to be hard. And Carson back the Georgia.
45:39
Transfer is in the right place, right time, and he's doing all
45:44
the right things 65 for 82. Passing 7 touchdowns, 2
45:50
interceptions. He's not free of making
45:54
mistakes, but 812 passing yards really tell the story that he
46:02
can move this football down the field and Florida's defense is
46:07
getting better. They have a great core group.
46:13
But they're not getting enough. Of a pass rush and.
46:16
They're not holding teams down. So this game, I believe will go
46:24
under the total of 51 1/2 I. Like the Gators of Plus?
46:31
7 1/2 But they will lose this game to the Hurricanes.
46:37
Carson Beck. Will prove to be too.
46:39
Much. Watch it on ABC. 6:30 PM Kick
46:44
off. The next game I cannot bet on
46:47
because I live in Illinois and that is the Fighting Illini on
46:52
the. Road to take on the Indiana
46:54
Hoosiers. At Memorial Stadium in
46:58
Bloomington IN going. To be a beautiful day, 78°
47:04
total. Set of 52 1/2 the.
47:08
Fighting Illini are the. Plus 5 1/2.
47:12
Underdogs at the spread. And the plus 170?
47:17
5 underdogs on the money line. Where I like them to win total
47:22
goes. Over 52.
47:24
And 1/2 and. Illinois is really good plus. 5
47:28
1/2 What a gift, both teams. Undefeated 3 and O.
47:34
But it is the arm of Luke Altmire.
47:39
Who's gone 56 for 78709 yards? Passing and eight touchdowns.
47:44
This year. Who has this fighting?
47:46
Illini team rolling. They've beat Duke. 45 to 19.
47:52
They beat. Western Illinois 52 to 3 and
47:55
they're coming off a big victory where they.
47:58
Shut out. Western Michigan, who before
48:01
this coach was running all over. The Fighting Illini, as were a
48:06
lot of teams, but that stopped and in this Ballina era.
48:12
You will see the fighting. Line I continue to get.
48:15
Better. They've a really strong running
48:18
back. And Caden Fagan, 50 carries, 222
48:22
yards. There's the Angel number for
48:24
you. And three touchdowns on the.
48:27
Year their top receiver, Hank. Beatty, 19, catches 2. 189 yards
48:35
receiving in one touchdown. When you look at.
48:38
That Indiana group, what a team they put together.
48:42
You have to give them credit top to bottom, pretty strong.
48:47
Team here, but they're not this Illinois team.
48:52
No, they're not Mendoza. Quarterback 55 for 70. 6 passing
48:59
7. 108 passing yards and 9 touchdowns.
49:03
Very strong. Look at their running back.
49:07
Kaitlyn Black 2. 117 yards running, 34 carries and 1
49:12
touchdown, and their top receiver Omar Cooper, Junior 13
49:17
catches, 299 yards receiving, 4. Touchdowns on the year going to
49:24
be a exhilarating fast pace and fun game.
49:29
The defenses will have a lot of fun, but the offenses?
49:33
Will have the upper. Hand Illinois wins.
49:37
Covers the spread. And the total goes over game on
49:42
NBC Kick. Off at 6:30 PM.
49:46
Central Time. We are down to our.
49:50
Final two games folks. Thank you for tuning in so much.
49:53
God bless. You I really appreciate you
49:56
being here. This is a tough game to call.
50:00
Let's get into it. Spend a little bit of time on
50:03
this one. The Arizona State Sun Devils
50:06
travel to Waco. Texas to visit McLean Stadium.
50:12
And face the Baylor Bears. Both teams are two and 1 and in
50:17
the Big 12. They're looking to gain ground.
50:21
The Arizona State Sun Devils come into this game.
50:25
As the plus. 2 1/2 underdogs at the spread total.
50:29
Set at 60 1/2 and. The Arizona State Sun Devils are
50:33
the plus. 115 money line underdogs.
50:39
Natural predictor favors the Baylor Bears with 53.7% given
50:45
46.3% of the. Buy.
50:48
Back over to Arizona State, but I think the Baylor Bears
50:52
prevail. At -135 on the money line.
50:57
That spread is close. I'm not a fan of it but I think
51:01
plus. 2 1/2 to Arizona. Would be my intellectually
51:06
honest choice and the total. Goes over even though I'm not
51:11
really. A fan of that.
51:13
I think Baylor just wins being at home, their environment.
51:19
They have the better quarterback.
51:21
They have the upper hand on offense.
51:23
They have to beat themselves to lose this game.
51:28
They beat SMU. They struggled a little bit
51:31
against Auburn, but they're coming off a big win against the
51:36
Sanford Bulldogs 42 to 7:00, but they seem to have found their
51:41
footing. And Arizona State.
51:45
Besides that loss against Mississippi.
51:47
State where it was close 24 to 20.
51:49
Final They're coming off a big win against Texas.
51:52
State, Arizona State here is. Not a bad team.
51:57
But they don't have the firepower.
51:59
They don't have the horses. To keep up with Baylor.
52:03
At the end of this game, even if it comes down to a field goal,
52:07
watch it on. Fox, 6:30 PM Kickoff.
52:10
Love Big 12 football? But if we're living in reality,
52:15
Baylor's better. Suited to win this game.
52:18
The quarterback, Sam Levitt, he's going to struggle here.
52:22
He's thrown 3 interceptions already this year.
52:26
They will need their running back Rayleigh.
52:28
Brown to get it going. Otherwise.
52:31
They are. Going to be in a World of hurt
52:34
35 carries 2. Touchdowns and 200.
52:36
And 92 yards rushing. He's up against the beast.
52:40
And Bryce in Washington? Not only that, the defense and.
52:44
Baylor because they're getting better.
52:46
But Bryce in Washington. 66 carries, 4 touchdowns and 304
52:51
yards rushing. He's really turning on the.
52:54
Jets that Baylor defense. Anchored by Keaton Thomas, the
52:58
linebacker. 30 tackles already, so get ready.
53:03
For a Lights Out game, that is. Going to be a lot.
53:06
Of fun and hard hitting. It's going to be very.
53:09
Intense like Baylor to win. That is my best bet for that
53:13
game. The final game we'll talk about
53:16
here today is BYU versus East Carolina.
53:22
Pretty. Simple game, easy pick here.
53:26
We can pretty much chill in Greenville, NC.
53:30
At the Doughty Ficklin Stadium on.
53:34
ESPN 2 at 6:30 PM. If you're a big.
53:37
BYU fan you'd be watching. Or East Carolina alma mater.
53:43
If that's what your thing is, total set of 50 1/2.
53:48
East Carolina. The Six.
53:49
And 1/2. Point underdogs at the spread
53:52
and the plus 190. 5 underdogs on the money line.
53:57
I'm not as impressed with. BYU as I have been.
54:00
In years past, they're still a good.
54:02
Team that will win. I don't really like.
54:07
Anything in this game? I think it probably goes under.
54:12
50 1/2 E. Carolina will cover that 6 1/2
54:18
Yes, I'll give that to. Them.
54:21
They lose. BYU survives this 174°.
54:27
Maybe rain comes in or something.
54:29
Maybe it rains. Maybe it rains and East Carolina
54:34
is able to stand tall. Because their offense just needs
54:38
something to happen for them to do good.
54:41
So yes, give me East. Carolina.
54:44
The Pirates. As the +6.
54:47
And a half underdogs at the spread.
54:50
As the best bet. Their quarterback?
54:54
Hayton Howser, 83 for A116973 passing yards, 5 touchdowns, 1
55:02
interception. Compared to Bachmeier, who?
55:04
I'm not oppressed. With on BYUI, just think that.
55:09
East Carolina can cover the spread.
55:11
Don't be surprised if they win. I just have to side with BYU to
55:16
win, but plus 6 1/2. At the spread, that's a great
55:22
place to be, especially with BYU.
55:27
Like I said, they're not the most stellar offense this year,
55:33
so I'm looking. Forward to all of the games and
55:36
all of my. Picks coming true.
55:39
I will be back with my NFL Week 3.
55:42
Picks in the next podcast, ladies and gentlemen, just like
55:47
the hands of time. I'm turning it over to you.
55:51
Good night and God bless song. 37 four KJV.
