1-Unit Play. Take #319 Oklahoma (-5) over Michigan (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 12)Game 1 of the Kyle Whittingham Era at Michigan was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Whittingham already has an issue with quarterback Bryce Underwood, and the sketchy vibes that pervaded the Michigan locker room last year have not abated. Oklahoma has one of the top three or five defenses in the country and should swarm Michigan here. The Sooners also have a healthy John Mateer, who at this stage is just better than the disappointing Underwood. OU’s edges on both sides of the ball should overcome Michigan’s home field advantage.
1-Unit Play. Take #323 Wake Forest (-3) over Purdue (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 12)
Wake had a bit of a misleading final score last week. This team was up 38-3 before they let off the gas in the fourth quarter and let a garbage Akron team in the backdoor. Gio Lopez has to be thrilled to be out of UNC and reunited with his former South Alabama offensive coordinator. He looked sharp in the opener and I think that this Wake team could be extremely undervalued as we get closer to ACC play. Purdue is just 5-19 ATS in its last 24 home games and 1-13 ATS as a home dog.
2-Unit Play. Take #326 Virginia Tech (-19) over Old Dominion (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 12)
I didn’t think that James Franklin would embarrass VMI like that last week. But he didn’t hold back, ringing up 70+ points in a bloodbath. Franklin is one of the best coaches in the country and he may be a man on a mission in his first season on Blacksburg. This is another big spot for him. Old Dominion humiliated VT last year, 42-26. Former head coach – and current defensive coordinator – Brent Prye was fired at Virginia Tech directly after that game. Prye will want revenge, as will this Hokies roster. ODU’s Ricky Rahne is an outstanding coach and an excellent underdog. But Tech has too much motivation and should give a big effort here.
1-Unit Play. Take #329 Arizona State (+14.5) over Texas A&M (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 12)
This just feels like too many points. Kenny Dillingham is an outstanding head coach. He is a master at getting the best out of his quarterbacks and Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley looked great in his ASU debut. Boley has faced SEC competition so he won’t be rattled by this A&M defense. Dillingham is 8-4 ATS as an underdog of a touchdown or more with four outright upsets. Mike Elko is another outstanding head coach. But he hasn’t been a great favorite. A&M is 4-10 ATS as a home favorite under Elko and going back to his time at Duke, Elko is just 2-9 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points.
6-Unit Play. Take #334 Kansas State (-17.5) over Washington State (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 12)
This is a terrible spot for Washington State. This team isn’t very good, but they emptied the tank last week in a garbage cover against a Washington team that spent the day punching itself in the face. Washington is now on a short week, they are off a rivalry game, and they have to travel west to east for an early kickoff. Wazzou is facing a very motivated Kansas State squad under first year head coach Collin Klien. Klien is a K-State alum/hero who wants to raise this program up. He didn’t hold back in Week 1, scoring 70+, and he has a talented veteran quarterback in Avery Johnson to work with. I think the Cougars get wrecked here in Manhattan.
2-Unit Play. Take #344 Syracuse (-3.5) over California (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
This is another game where the home team has a situational advantage. California is coming off a sold-out home opener. New head coach Tosh Lupoi had his squad ready to go and the Golden Bears bowed up against rival UCLA. Cal blew that game in the fourth quarter and lost. Now they have to travel across the country in a letdown spot here against a Syracuse team that has Steve Angeli back. The Orange are 4-1 SU and ATS with Angeli under center and when he is healthy he is legit. I like the Orange to keep rolling.
1-Unit Play. Take #345 Maryland (-11.5) over Connecticut (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
These two teams played in 2024 and Maryland pasted the Huskies 50-7. It won’t be quite that ugly but there is no doubt which team has better talent. I am not a big fan of Jason Candle’s. He was a solid underdog at Toledo and will have his guys ready to go against the Terps. But I think Maryland head coach Mike Locksley knows he is coaching for his job and won’t take anyone for granted.
2-Unit Play. Take #351 Eastern Michigan (+17.5) over Michigan State (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
Eastern Michigan blew a golden opportunity for a 2-0 start last week by losing at home to San Jose State. I still like Chris Creighton in this role, though, and EMU is always a game underdog. Michigan State beat another MAC opponent, Toledo, by 30-20 last week. They were losing 20-19 late in that game. And I don’t know how much better Toledo is than Eastern Michigan. EMU is playing its third game and I think that’s a slight benefit right now. I can see the Spartans and Pat Fitzgerald getting another win against an overmatched foe but I don’t see them running EMU off the field.
3-Unit Play. Take #355 Mississippi State (+1.5) over Minnesota (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
I hit a 7-Unit winner with Mississippi State last week. I’m going right back to them here. This is Year 3 under Jeff Lebby and I think that this team has a chance to make a little noise and pull a couple upsets in the SEC this season. P.J. Fleck has done a nice job at Minnesota. But if you look back over the last three seasons, the Gophers have really just beaten a bunch of schlubs. I think Miss State has better talent and I like them
2-Unit Play. Take #362 North Texas (+3.5) over UNLV (3:45 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
This is a tough spot for UNLV. They played a high-profile home game against Memphis to start the season. Last week they had to fly out to Hawaii. Now they have to head to Texas and dress up as a road favorite again. I don’t think this Rebels team is very good, frankly, and I haven’t been impressed with their last six quarters of work. North Texas – shockingly – outgained Indiana on the road last week. That’s a little eye-opening. UNT head coach Neal Brown is a good coach that will have his kids ready to go. I think UNLV is worn from traveling and they will wear down even more in that North Texas heat.
3-Unit Play. Take #363 Delaware (+21.5) over Vanderbilt (4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
I think that Delaware is a live dog here. Vanderbilt was thoroughly unconvincing in a 28-9 win over Austin Peay last week. That game was 13-9 with six minutes left in the third quarter. Delaware has one of the most experienced rosters in the country. This game doesn’t mean anything to Vanderbilt – who plays N.C. State next week – but it is a marquee opportunity for the Blue Hens. They are going to be up for a chance to knock off an SEC opponent. Vanderbilt is starting a true freshman at quarterback. They actually rotated two guys last week and watched them combine for just 209 passing yards and no touchdowns. Until I see Vanderbilt tool up and lay into someone I don’t think they should be laying this many points.
3-Unit Play. Take #371 South Alabama (+10) over Tulane (7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
I don’t think that this Tulane team is very good and I don’t think that this program is heading in the right direction. I thought Will Hall was a poor choice as head coach after he went just 14-30 at Southern Miss. Tulane’s offense was a wreck last week, scoring just 3 points against Duke. I also think Tulane was more excited for that game than they will be for this one. They also have a bigger game next week against Kansas State. South Alabama only lost 33-31 to a better Tulane team last year. They also only lost by 16 at Auburn last season and I think Major Applewhite is always a live underdog because his offense can put points on the board. I wouldn’t be stunned by a USA upset here.
2-Unit Play. Take #378 Georgia Tech (+12.5) over Tennessee (7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
This number feels like an overreaction. Tennessee pasted Furman 56-9 and Georgia Tech lost to Colorado. So obviously Tennessee is really good and Georgia Tech is really bad, right? I don’t think so. Tech played a real team last week and should’ve won that game despite not playing well. Now they are a little desperate here. Tennessee has a true freshman quarterback who is playing on the road, against a desperate opponent that has Power 4 talent, in a night game at Bobby-Dodd, laying nearly two touchdowns. Brent Key is 11-4 ATS against ranked foes, with seven outright upsets, and he is 8-0 ATS as a double-digit underdog. The Vols will win but don’t be surprised if Tech gives them everything they can handle.
1-Unit Play. Take #381 Georgia State (+9) over Kennesaw State (7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
3-Unit Play. Take #384 UCLA (-12) over San Diego State (7:15 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
Bob Chesney got off to a great start last week with a blowout win at California. That was a close game until the Bruins blew it open with a 21-0 run in the fourth quarter. Chesney just wore down the Golden Bears on the ground, rushing for 277 yards at 8.6 yards per carry. They will do the same thing against this rebuild SDSU defense. The Aztecs gave up nearly 400 yards to Portland State last week and I don’t see them being able to stop the resurgent Bruins. Look for Chesney to empty the tanks in his home opener.
1-Unit Play. Take #385 Georgia Southern (+20.5) over Clemson (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
What do you think that Clemson locker room is like this week? They were humiliated at LSU last week. And the reality is that Clemson is just a second-tier ACC program at this point. Last year they rebounded from a season-opening loss to LSU to barely beat Troy 27-16 in Week 2. And that was a veteran team with 10 draft picks on it. This year’s Clemson team is not nearly as talented and are in an even bigger letdown spot. Georgia Southern is on a 7-2 ATS run and GSU head coach Clay Helton will have his guys ready to take a swing at the Tigers. This game means more to the underdog and I think they find a way to much this one up and stay within the number.
1-Unit Play. Take #390 Iowa (-13.5) over Iowa State (7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
1-Unit Play. Take #391 Southern Miss (+33.5) over Auburn (7:45 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
I really like Alex Golesh at Auburn. I think this team is going to be tough in the SEC all year. This is a tricky spot for them, though. They are in a letdown situation here after a tight 17-16 win over Baylor in Atlanta last week. They are also likely looking ahead to their SEC opener against Florida next week. I don’t know if they have the juice (or focus) to lay out Southern Miss here. Now when something like 33-13 will do. Southern Miss head coach Blake Anderson is solid. And this game means a lot more to the Golden Eagles than it does to the Tigers.
2-Unit Play. Take #393 Louisiana Tech (+35.5) over LSU (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
This is a clear letdown/look ahead spot for LSU. They are coming off a dominant win over Clemson in a game they were clearly up for. And next week the Tigers head to Ole Miss for a massive revenge game against Lane Kiffin’s old team. Smack in between they are five-touchdown favorites against a mediocre La. Tech team. What is LSU’s motivation level? This is a Little Brother game for Louisiana Tech, and this game means the world to Sonny Cumbie’s team. Cumbie has been excellent in this role in his four years at Tech. His teams have lost to major conference opponents by 28, 28, 24, 14, 10, 21, 16, and 25 points (20.8 average) and he has gone 5-3 ATS in those games. Louisiana Tech is 7-3 ATS over the last five years against major conference teams and I think they find a way to hold it within this number against LSU’s second- and third-string players. I’ll call it 44-13.
3-Unit Play. Take #398 Oregon State (+26.5) over Texas Tech (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
Oregon State is a complete unknown under new head coach JaMarcus Shephard. That creates some value with this group. I liked what I saw from them against a decent Houston team last week. Now they are playing at home and hosting a Top 20 opponent. They will be up for this game. Will Texas Tech? Oregon State has a revenge motivation here after losing 45-14 to the Red Raiders last year. Revenge and the change in venue is worth at least a touchdown. And I think this is a better Oregon State team and a weaker Texas Tech squad. The Red Raiders have a bit of a quarterback controversy and I think they might have spent all offseason reading their headlines. Look for the Beavers to throw a scare here.
3-Unit Play. Take #404 Utah (-12.5) over Arkansas (10 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
New Utah head coach Morgan Scalley wanted to make a statement last week. He certainly did, with the Utes winning 66-14. Scalley is a long-time assistant here. Now he has another chance to make a major statement against an SEC opponent. Utah is a brutally tough environment for visitors. Between the crowd and the elevation, the Utes have been known to go bonkers on opponents. I think they can do exactly that here. I’m not a big fan of Ryan Silverfield’s and Arkansas looked awful last week against a North Alabama team that has only existed for about 15 minutes. I think the Razorbacks are running into a buzzsaw.
2-Unit Play. 7-POINT TEASER: 7-POINT TEASER: Take #339 Arizona (+14.5) over BYU (3:30 p.m.) AND Take #402 Air Force (+9.5) over North Dakota State (10 p.m.)

NCAAF2-Unit Play. Take #316 Kansas (+5.5) over Missouri (8 pm, Friday September 11) **Caesars Odds**
These rivals have a strong dislike for one another, and after Missouri won last year, Kansas is expected to keep it much closer at home this time. The Jayhawks and Coach Leipold have struggled in recent years, so a competitive performance would significantly help regain fan support. Take Kansas to cover the spread.
3-Unit Play. Take #319 Under (43.5) Oklahoma vs Michigan (12 pm, Saturday September 12) **FD Odds**
This is indirect lean on Sooners agains the spread too as Michigan’s offensive struggles leaves them little chance to score. Safer play is the total in this one. Take the under in MICH/OKL this week.
6-Unit Play. Take #357 Over (49.5) Alabama vs Kentucky (3:30 pm, Saturday September 12) **Caesars Odds**
Initially, we were set on backing Kentucky as the underdog with the points. While we still lean that way, we believe taking the over is much stronger play. Kentucky's offense is expected to take risks and put up plenty of points, and Alabama's balanced offense should contribute to a high score as well. Take the over for the Alabama vs. Kentucky game Saturday.
4-Unit Play. Take #377 Tennessee (-12.5) over Georgia Tech (7 pm, Saturday September 12) **DK Odds**
The Yellow Jackets struggled in their last game and now face a more formidable opponent in Tennessee. Falling behind early will force them to abandon their game plan, putting them at a significant disadvantage. Take Tennessee to win and cover the spread.
Scott Rickenbach
2-Unit Play. Take #315/316 'Over' 51.5 (-105) Missouri at Kansas (8 p.m., Fri, Sept. 11)It is a fact that both these teams faced very weak opposition in Week 1 of the season. However, the fact that both Missouri scored 50+ points as well as put balanced rushing and passing attacks on full display is a key to the value here. This is a low total considering both offensive units come in loaded with confidence and I also feel that the dual threat capability of Kansas quarterback Marshall is going to be difficult for this Tigers defense. Of course they are the SEC team in this matchup and Missouri is favored for a reason. In other words, even though the Jayhawks should move the ball well here, the Tigers are expected to prevail. I look for a 34-28 type of game and that gets us well over the total here. Solid value in this one but, again, I am taking the rating easy early this season except on my biggest top games of course. So this is another 2-unit play here. 2* OVER 51.5 (-105) in Kansas
3-Unit Play. Take #319 Oklahoma -4.5 at Michigan (12:00 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
This line is available at FanDuel at the time of this posting. Overall, there was a big move toward the Sooners early this week and right away I agreed with the move. I try not to over-react to one game but in Week One Michigan won on a questionable hail mary (time expired prior play) and this was against a MAC team plus the game was at Ann Arbor. How in the world do the first downs end up 16-12 in favor of Western Michigan plus the Broncos won the time of possession battle 40 to 20?! The Wolverines looked really bad and turned the ball over 3 times. Conversely, the Sooners beat UTEP 51 to 0 and outgained them 401 to 198. Granted the Miners are not a good team but Western Michigan is certainly no powerhouse and the Wolverines have some concerns, to say the least. I do believe this line could go even higher and so I would play it early when you are reading this. I did not like the look of Michigan at all in their first game this season and that was a hard fought win for Wolverines and a miracle win and they are definitely more spent than a Sooners team that had a cakewalk win in Week One. I know it seems strange to see Michigan as a home dog at the Big House but it is no mistake. New head coach Kyle Whittingham is going to have some issues early this season with this team. 3* OKLAHOMA -4.5
7-Unit Play. Take #404 Utah -12.5 vs Arkansas (10:15 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
I rarely lay big points on my bigger plays but this is a rare exception. I simply love this spot for an absolute home blowout. I used the Utes 3 times for a 7-Unit pick last season and they cashed in easily all 3 times for us. So Utah has treated me very well and this looks like another great spot to ride them. Arkansas has so many new players all over the field and they are off an unimpressive win over a North Alabama team that they should have blown out. The fact is their QB had some questionable play in that game and overall the team was sloppy at times and did not execute all that well. They were still able to beat a team like North Alabama playing poorly like that but now they face a much stronger test on the road at Utah. Even more concerning for the Razorbacks is the fact that Utah looked like a well-oiled matching already as they dominated Idaho 66-14 last week. Dampier led the way at QB in that one before being rested after Utah had a 38-7 lead. Look for him to lead the way throughout this contest as the Utes roll to another ultra easy home win! The Utes have a new head coach as Whittingham is now head coach at Michigan but Morgan Scalley already has been coaching at Utah for two decades and was the defensive coordinator the last 10 seasons. He has already looked great in taking over as the head coach and this Utes team has responded well to him. As for Arkansas they hired Silverifield from Memphis and he has been working with a lot new starters on this Razorbacks team. They are going to have growing pains and remember their win over North Alabama last week ended an 10-game losing streak for Arkansas. They still have a long way to go while the Utes look great and their biggest questions were in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The O-line and D-line of Utah did play well overall in the Week 1 win and it continues here. 7* UTAH -12.5

4-Unit Play. #331. Take South Florida +3.5 over Army (Saturday @ 12pm est)Well, Coach Hartline's opening week in College Football was a bit lackluster as South Florida ended up winning but barely by a score of 19-9 and they did not cover the -14.5 line. But, I think that is a bit unfair to South Florida. FIU is actually better than advertised so South Florida did face a decent team. Now, they face Army who comes off crushing their last opponent but South Florida will be focused. Hartline will have his team going on the road for the first time, coming off a lackluster game, but his defense did play well against FIU. Note, that South Florida's DC is Josh Aldridge who used to be the DC at East Carolina, who held Army to just 6 opints in a win last year for ECU. Hartline was OC at Ohio State so he knows offense and he will look to have his team score a good bit of points in this game against Army as they bounce-back as well.
6-Unit Play. #335. Take Miss State Money-Line (-110) over Minnesota Gophers (Saturday @ 3:30pm est)
Coach Jeff Lebby is a stud. He has gone underrated for some time now but he was Coach Josh Heupel's right hand mand at Tennessee. Lebby has Taylor as his QB who appeared in 11 games for him last year, he has openly admitted that this is his most talented team ever as he is in 3rd year at Miss State. Remember, Lebby also used to coach for Lane Kiffin as his OC and Brent Venables OC at Oklahoma. Talk about a resume. Minnesota was great against Eastern Illinois. But this is an important game for Lebby. Lebby lost his last two games away from home to Missouri and Wake in their bowl game and I think they come through here.
4-Unit Play. #404. Take Utah -12.5 over Arkansas (Saturday @ 10:15pm est)
Utah's Morgan Scalley has been in this program forever. For 20 years Scalley has been on the Utah sidelines and for 10 seasons has taken over this defense. Silverfield is a good coach from Memphis no doubt, but he has also lost by 2 touchdowns to NC State not too long ago when he was with Memphis. Arkansas was only able to garner 3 rushing yards per attempt against Northern Alabama last game, which is going to be an issue against Utah. This is Scalley's first contest against an SEC foe as a head coach and I think he has his boys ready.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK #24 Unit Play. #332 Army -3.5 over South Florida (12:00p.m., Saturday, September 12)
Last Saturday the South Florida Bulls struggled at home against the FIU Panthers only scored 6-points in the first half. Army steamed rolled Bryant last weekend 59-3 rushing for 569 yards and if the Bulls can’t stop the run on the road we could see another Black Knights victory. Army always has great discipline on both sides of the ball and the West Point fans will be loud and they get to see another Black Knights hoe victory.
2 Unit Play. #344 Syracuse -3.5 over California (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 12)
UCLA was able to run wild all over the Cal Bears defense at home and know the Bears must jump on a plane to battle the Orange. I know Syracuse beat up New Hampshire 66-3, but their offense looked night & day then what we saw last year. I was blown away that the Cal Bears opened as a small road favorite (-1) but quickly moved to Syracuse as a home favorite. With Cal going cross country and the confidence the Orange QB Steve Angeii will have at home I see another Syracuse home win.
7 Unit Play. #395 Under 49.5 Ohio St vs Texas (7:30p.m., Saturday, September 12)
Last year at Columbus the Buckeyes won 14-7 and yes that is not a typo. The last two meetings in 2025 the Buckeyes won and both games stayed ‘Under’ the total. The oddsmakers opened this total at 47.5 and right now it’s 49.5 and wouldn’t shock me to see 50 by kickoff. The Longhorns last 5 opening games 3 of them have stayed ‘Under’ the total and the Buckeyes last 4 opening games 3 of them have stayed ‘Under’ the total. Last year only ONE team scored 20+ points against the Buckeyes defense and last year only two games went ‘Over’ the total. I know Ohio St beat Ball St last week 56-3 but defense rules this game and this game stays ‘Under’.

Take #322 Army (-3.5) over South Florida
12- Noon est
Read between the box score lines from last week, and with all that Army has this year on offense with QB Hellums back at the helm, and I love Army in this spot outscore So. Florida. Last week the Bulls were outgained 381-208 by Florida Int, and yet still won 19-9 because they were +3 in turnovers, and FIU gave the game away. Army has one of the better coaches around in Todd Monken, who always has his team prepped. Army played lowly Byrant last week and did exactly what they were suppose to do, win 59-3 and cover a 37-point spread. The 8 returners on offense with a stud QB is too much for So. Florida to trade punches with. Bear in mind So Florida is in rebuild mode with an all new offense, against an experienced offensive machine and against a great head coach and they are playing at Army, who is at least a TD better.

Take # 317 Oregon (-23.5) over Oklahoma State
12 Noon EST
NO this is not an overreaction to how Okie State, who basically is the North Texas team from last year, moved to Stillwater, who lost as a double-digit favorite to Tulsa last week. The reaction is on Oregon who throttled Okie State on this same week last year 69-3, is still flat out better. Has Okie State closed a 66-point gap in a year? No, because Oregon is off a disappointing and lackluster win last week, but yet is still improved from last year, and will want to atone for Boise State pushing them around last week in Eugene and struggling till late in the game to win. This number does not scare me, and again Oregon hung 69 on them this year. If they score 45+ they cover with ease.

3-Unit Play: Take 316 Kansas +5.5 over Missouri (8 p.m., Friday, September 11)I’m taking the points with the Jayhawks. Kansas has given the starting QB job to Isaiah Marshall and he looked as though he had the new offense figured out in last week’s opener. Obviously, the level of competition goes way up this week. Jalon Daniels was a good athlete but I felt he hamstrung the Kansas offense over the last couple of seasons and believe it’ll be a smoother operation without him. Missouri is breaking in a new OC, while the defense didn’t impress me last week against Arkansas State, registering just one sack and six TFLs. Note that home dogs of more than three points and up to 10 are 47-19 ATS off at least one win ATS in the first two weeks of the season. I’m taking the points with Kansas. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
2-Unit Play: Take 320 Michigan +5.5 over Oklahoma (12 p.m., Sat., Sept. 12)
There was a time earlier this summer when Michigan was a short favorite over Oklahoma. Then the Western Michigan fiasco took center stage and we’ve seen a seven point move in some circles. I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t grab the value. I don’t believe U-M is as bad as they looked and WMU isn’t a bad MAC team, winning 10 of their final 11 games last season. Home teams that rushed for at least 5.25 yards per carry the prior season are 28-7 ATS when getting more than three and up to 10 points in weeks 0-through-3. I’m taking the points with Michigan. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
2-Unit Play: Take 326 Virginia Tech -19 over ODU (12 p.m., Sat., Sept. 12)
Old Dominion shocked the Hokies in Blacksburg last season, winning 45-26 as an underdog. The Monarchs lost their entire offense and the new offense was quite sluggish against Norfolk State. ODU won 31-10, laying 40.5 points. They gained just 16 first downs and finished with just 319 total yards. Va Tech is now led by James Franklin who might not win big games but does like to win games big against out-manned opponents as evidenced by a 73-3 win over VMI as a 54.5-point favorite last week. I believe Va Tech will gain a measure of revenge in a big way. I’m laying the points with Virginia Tech. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
2-Unit Play: Take 336 Over 55.5 WKU - Georgia (12:45 p.m., Sat., Sept. 12)
Georgia put 63 points on the board last week without even trying and I mean that. They actually played five QBs but the offense kept landing in the endzone. Western Kentucky has a lot of new faces and the defense got punished at Nevada. Not only did the Hilltoppers give up 49 points but Nevada gained 323 yards on the ground. The defense should be softened up even more for the Bulldogs. And as reported, UGA finished the game with an expected points metric of 77. I’m playing the Over. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
7-Unit Play: Take 390 Iowa -14 over Iowa State (7:30 p.m., Sat., Sept. 12)
Iowa is in double revenge and should take care of business against a new Cyclone roster. HC Matt Campbell left for Penn State and gutted the program. New HC Jimmy Rogers will start at least 13 transfers from non-Power Four programs. The offense looked stuck in the mud last week, gaining just 303 total yards. The Cyclones gained just 3.48 yards per carry against FCS SE Missouri State. Iowa didn’t cover in last week’s 40-0 win over Northern Illinois but that’s because the Hawkeyes dialed it down after taking a 33-0 lead into halftime. The defense is stout and HC Kirk Ferentz has his best offensive talent in a while. The Hawkeyes will have double revenge on their mind after losing the last two meetings on last minute FGs. The last time Ferentz faced Iowa State with a new HC, (Campbell’s first season in Ames), the Hawkeyes won 42-3. I’m betting Jimmy Rogers is in for a tough first Cy-Hawk game too. I’m laying the points with Iowa. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

3-Unit Play (308902) Florida A&M/Miami Florida UNDER 67 -110 (9/10 @ 8:00PM EST) Miami’s 45-6 victory at Stanford may look dangerous for an under, but this wager is not dependent on stopping the Hurricanes. It is primarily based on Florida A&M contributing very little and Miami having limited reason to remain aggressive once the game is decided. Florida A&M generated only 161 total yards against South Carolina State on Sunday, including minus-one rushing yard. Its offense failed to score a touchdown, with its only six offensive points coming from field goals. Starting quarterback Isaiah Knowles is now expected to miss the remainder of the season, leaving Dustin Fletcher, who completed 6 of 10 passes for 68 yards, to start on a four-day turnaround. Miami held Stanford without a touchdown and allowed only 299 yards. The blowout potential is obvious, but that should produce a run-heavy second half with Miami’s backups receiving substantial playing time. Miami should supply most of the scoring, but 67 remains too high.3-Unit Play (308904) Norfolk State/Virginia UNDER 55.5 -110 (9/10 @ 7:00PM EST) This is a late addition to our premium selections due to some news. Therefore we are unable to provide a detailed analysis for this game. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
4-Unit Play (388) Florida Atlantic +5 -110 over Navy (9/12 @ 7:30PM EST) Solid value here on Florida Atlantic at +5 in its home and conference opener. Week 1 created a misleading comparison: Navy rushed for 506 yards against FCS opponent Towson, while FAU was beaten badly at Florida. Despite the final score, the Owls still generated 396 yards, 25 first downs and four red-zone possessions against an SEC defense. Caden Veltkamp completed 34 passes, the fourth-highest single-game total in program history. FAU's passing game should also test the weakest part of Navy's opening performance. Towson threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns on only 18 attempts (an average of 11.6 yards per pass). Veltkamp ranked third nationally with 303.4 passing yards per game last season, and new receiver Kelby Valsin opened with 10 catches for 92 yards against Florida. Stopping Navy's option is the obvious concern, but its possession-heavy approach naturally shortens games and makes five points more valuable. FAU has enough offensive continuity and passing production to remain within one score, with the backdoor available if Navy controls the game late. We'll take the five points at home.
3-Unit Play (405) Sacramento State +17.5 -110 over Fresno State (9/12 @ 10:30PM EST) The Hornets are now an FBS program and MAC member, so this isn’t the traditional FBS-versus-FCS matchup the name might suggest. In their FBS debut, they limited Eastern Michigan to 69 rushing yards and lost by only 11 despite a poor offensive performance. Sacramento State then showed considerable improvement in a 52-0 victory over Mississippi Valley State, finishing with a 453-147 advantage in total yardage. Backup quarterback Jackson Sharman threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns, while Matt Coleman produced 141 receiving yards and three scores. Fresno State faced a much stronger opponent in USC, but its offense generated only 116 yards and failed to score. The Bulldogs entered that game with seven first-time offensive starters, including an entirely new interior offensive line. That creates legitimate concerns when they’re being asked to win by three scores.With the total sitting around 45, every point becomes more valuable. Sacramento State’s defense, special teams and improving passing game give the Hornets enough paths to remain competitive. We’ll take +17.5.

Note: NFL plays will be released on Sunday at 11:30 EST. CHECK BACK THEN!7-Unit Play. Take #344 Syracuse (-3.5) over California (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
Syracuse is a different team with Steve Angeli under center. Last year the Orange were dreadful when their signal caller got hurt, but he's back and the offense looked outstanding on their opening weekend (yes, it was New Hampshire). California is in a tough spot. They have a few skill position players hurt, they were just part of a tough, physical game versus UCLA, and now they have to travel across the country to play in a 3:30 (noon, their time) game in a difficult place to play, in the JMA Wireless Dome. Syracuse is going to send a ton of pressure against JKS and force him to be mobile on that tender ankle. Cal's defense was shredded on the ground against UCLA and the Orange should find similar success. This game is going to be won and lost on the lines, and in this environment Syracuse is set up perfectly. Syracuse comes into this game with a ton of momentum and it is just an awful spot for the Golden Bears. Lay the points.
3-Unit Play. Take #339 Arizona (+7.5) over BYU (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
This is too many points. Yes, BYU is a strong squad, but losing a key defender in the secondary, versus this Arizona offense, is enough to keep the AU WIldcats in this game. I have this one penciled in closer to a field goal than a touchdown so the points are way too good to pass up. Arizona returned plenty of firepower on the offensive side of the football and quarterback Noah Fifita will nearly do what he nearly did last year, and knock off BYU. Take the points.
3-Unit Play. Take #341 Central Florida (+7.5) over Pittsburgh (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 12)
This play is similar to my Arizona play. Pittsburgh could win this football game, but I see them in for a dog fight from Central Florida.I like this game to have some points, and that makes the dog even more of a live play. Pittsburgh is a solid team this season but the team from the south has enough firepower to put a scare in the home Panthers. Barnett and the Knights will keep this one within the number.

7 Unit Play Take #385 Georgia Southern +20.5 over Clemson (7:30pm est):
I don't like anything I seen from this Clemson team last week as they were beat on both sides of the football in eye opening fashion. Even with that put to the side that's not the biggest thing I like about this matchup. Instead I came away very impressed by how dominant Georgia Southern looked in their 31-0 win over Charleston Southern. The Eagles looked the part on both sides of the football putting up more than 500 yards of offense in the game while barely allowing more than 100 yards to their opponent. I closely chart play by play of every FBS versus FCS game and sometimes you can find some hidden gems in and I think this game was one of them as GSU played even better than their 31 point win differential.
Play Georgia Southern plus the points.
4 Unit Play Take #321 Appalachian State +7 over East Carolina (12:00pm est):
(+7 is at Circa, BetOnline, Draft Kings and Caesars)
Appalachian State usually puts a quality product on the field and every couple years they have a solid team and I think there's a chance this could happen in 2026. The Mountaineers have a 2nd year head coach and that's when you usually see a program take a big step forward. I loved what I seen last week from APSU as they put up nearly 400 yards more of offense than Maine. Keep in mind they also scored on each of their last 9 possessions in that contest after turning the ball over at the 5 yard line on their opening drive. I think they keep this one close with a real chance of pulling out the upset.
Play Appalachian State plus the points.

7 Unit Play - Take #319 Oklahoma (-5) Over Michigan. (12:00p.m, Saturday, September 12th)So Oklahoma just blew the doors off UTEP in a 51-0 final, which was absolutely expected. The tune-up game is now out of the way, and we believe Oklahoma comes into this game in a big way. We are aware Michigan nearly lost outright last week to Western Michigan. We do not believe for one second Michigan should be anywhere close to the same conversation as Western Michigan, but do we not believe Michigan is the same football team everyone thinks they are. A massive confluence comes to play here with the point spread. Michigan is getting 5.5 points at home. This is where teaser bettors are licking their chops. If you tease Michigan up 6 points, you get over 10, which is a key number, whether this line closes at 4-5.5, where it's currently fluctuating. If you tease Oklahoma down, you are in a pick 'em situation, which is definitely not grabbing any bettors' attention, as they're still causing fear of the position. This is what we like to call the wipeout play. Our belief is the market is terrified here. We believe the market is baiting a small spread differential with Michigan at home and is baiting a wipeout. Oklahoma winning this game by 2 touchdowns not only kills ML for parlays on Michigan but also ATS with the points on Michigan and a full teaser wipeout on the +10-+11.5. Oklahoma should come into Ann Arbor and give Michigan the business, and that is our prediction for this one. Take Oklahoma—the points in this one as our CFB play of the week!

1 Unit Play - Take #357 Alabama (-10.5) Over Kentucky. (3:30p.m, Saturday, September 12th)
This line is too short, and we are calling BS. We are aware Kentucky has played Bama very tough over the years, and the Wildcats are expecting a bigger season. This is Alabama football and the 2nd game of the season. Alabama has a statement to make once again this year just like every other year. The moment is too big for the Cats in this one. At home, it's the 2nd game of the season, and Alabama is coming into town. We expect a massive let-down in Lexington, KY, and we believe the Crimson-tide will blow them out. -10.5 line again, scaring the public with the key number hooked over 10. Teaser makes the line 4.5, which is also over the 3-point field goal, which is a scary number. Kentucky up to 16.5 feels a lot safer, and we are sniffing that out. Take Bama - the points in this one.

7-Unit CFB: Take #386 Clemson (-20.5) over Georgia Southern (-110) (Saturday, September 12th, 7:30p.m)Clemson gets a massive situational spot here. After getting punched in the mouth at LSU in Week 1, Dabo Swinney's squad gets to come home to Death Valley with a massive chip on their shoulder. Clemson teams under Dabo rarely stay down long, and running down the hill in front of 80,000 screaming fans is going to have this group flying around from the very first snap. The primary mismatch lies in the physical play up front in the trenches. Clemson’s defensive line holds a commanding size, depth, and talent advantage over Georgia Southern’s offensive line. Georgia Southern relies heavily on rhythm and early down success, but when Clemson shuts down the run and forces long second-and-third-down situations, the pass rush will pin its ears back. On the other side of the ball, expect Clemson’s offensive line to assert its dominance early, establishing a power run game that grinds down the Eagles' defense over four quarters. With Death Valley rocking, a huge trench disparity, and the urgent need for a dominant response after Week 1, Clemson has the firepower to stretch this lead well past three touchdowns.

3-Unit CFB: Take #389 Iowa State (+14) over Iowa (-110) (Saturday, September 12th, 7:30p.m)
Catching two full touchdowns in this matchup is pure situational value. The Cy-Hawk Trophy game is known for its physical, low-scoring nature, where points are absolute pull-teeth territory. With the game total sitting at a stingy 40.5, a 14-point spread represents over a third of all expected scoring on the board. For Iowa to cover, they have to beat the Cyclones by two clear scores, an ugly, tall order against an Iowa State defense built specifically to swallow up big plays and make teams earn every yard. History backs the dog heavily here. Seven of the last eight Cy-Hawk meetings have been tight, one-possession battles decided by a touchdown or less. Iowa's run-first offense naturally chews up the game clock and cuts down total possessions, which keeps the game script tight and prevents the Hawkeyes from blowing people out. Plus, transfer QB Jaylen Raynor gives Iowa State a dynamic dual-threat runner who can break containment and keep drives alive when the pocket collapses. In a rivalry where field position, punting, and late kicks routinely dictate the winner, getting 14 points with the underdog gives you maximum breathing room from start to finish.

2-Unit CFB: Take #308945 Illinois State (-3.5) over Northern Illinois (-110) (Saturday, September 12th, 7:00p.m)
Illinois State comes into DeKalb with a dominant front seven built to completely clog up interior running lanes and dictate terms at the line of scrimmage. When the defense stifles early runs and forces obvious passing situations, the pass rush gets to pin its ears back and create absolute havoc in the backfield. On the offensive side, Illinois State brings a balanced, methodical unit that excels at grinding out tough yards on the ground to open high-percentage play-action passes. Northern Illinois' season opener in Iowa City was about as brutal as it gets. Getting blanked 40-0 at Kinnick Stadium exposed some serious, deep-rooted issues that the Huskies have to clean up immediately. Northern Illinois relies on keeping games scrappy, but Illinois State’s superior trench play and execution will allow them to pull away late and cover the short spread on the road.
Nick Menken
2-Unit CFB: Take #331 South Florida (+3.5) over Army (-110) (Saturday, September 12th, 12:00p.m)
Army blew out an FCS opponent last week, but USF brings a completely different tier of physical size and sideline-to-sideline speed. The Bulls proved that up front in their Week 1 opener, completely shutting down the interior ground attack by allowing just 80 rushing yards on 3.2 yards per carry. That stout defensive front is built to stay disciplined against option assignments and string out pitch plays before they turn into runaway gains. On offense, USF's fast-paced tempo works as a massive structural weapon against military academies. By lining up quickly and snapping the ball in rhythm, the Bulls can limit Army’s defensive substitutions, wear down their front seven, and create easy 1-on-1 matchups downfield. The Army's flexbone offense is designed to operate with a lead and drain the clock. If USF turns this into a multi-possession game early, the Black Knights lack the drop-back passing game to play catch-up. In a physical matchup where USF has the defensive speed to contain the option and the tempo to force Army out of its comfort zone, catching 3.5 points gives us full control from start to finish.
