Kentucky is not a bad a team as many pundits might think, and Alabama despite of being a power house national championship contender , will usually do just enough to get wins, vs lower tier programs especially at home. Having great coaching, the Tide know when to preserve their energy and use it optimally, and the Cats are not a team that they will rev up their proverbial engines for. Alabama is 0-10 ATS L/10 in home games vs. poor passing defenses - allowing 250 or more passing yards/game like Kentucky.

Michigan (4-0, 1-0) offense has looked explosive this season, but against  a Wisconsin football program that ranks seventh nationally in scoring defense (11.8 points per game) and 12th in total defense (277.0 yards per game), their flow will be tested.The Badgers are coming  off a over powering 30-6 road victory over Michigan State -- a contest in which they forced four turnovers and held the Spartans to 75 rushing yards.Wisconsin's overall performance this season made it clear to Harbaugh that the showdown is going to be a major challenge for his squad, and I am betting he's on the money here. A key vulnerability is also Michigan D, which  in their only test vs a real offense ( Colorado) they allowed 28 points. Wisconsin is 7-1 ATS L/8 in this series.

Last week the sixth-ranked Cougars put the finishing touches on a 64-3 smash down of Texas State, and then starting their look ahead to a quick turnaround and Thursday's game against UCONN at TDECU Stadium.
It must be noted that the Huskies ruined the Cougars' bid for an unbeaten season last year, winning 20-17 in Hartford in late November. The Cougars looked asleep at the proverbial wheel but will now be wide awake for this tilt. 
In that game UH quarterback Greg Ward Jr. saw just a few snaps as he was hobbled with an ankle injury and key defensive star linebacker Elandon Roberts was ejected early due to a targeting call.
So as yu can see their is some added motivation for this one for coach Tom Herman and company.

The New Orleans Saints swept the Atlanta Falcons last season,  and a third straight victory is my selection tonight based on the matchup specifics.

I know Atlanta's Matt Ryan a stud QB, but that has not stopped the Falcons from laying an egg on numerous occasions in the past!

The Chiefs are also 1-1 following a 33-27 home victory over San Diego and a 19-12 road loss against Houston. Some very obvious inconsistencies were exhibited by HC Reid and company and Im not fan of their form right now. The Chiefs are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall, 1-5 ATS in their last six against the AFC, 0-4 ATS in their last four at home, and 1-4 ATS in their last five following a loss and expect those negative trends to continue here against a under rated NYJ side.

Denver comes off two straight home field wins where they have a hefty advantage , especially playing in the Sports Authority Field at 5,280 feet above sea level. Their amazing D, has a way of winding opponents. But on the road in Cincinnati where the Bengals' are playing their 2016 home opener, their edges are few, considering how tough the Bengals can be on their opposition. Cincinnati is coming off a tough 24-16 loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers and desperately need a victory to stay in the early AFC North race, so I expect they leave everything on the field today in a hyped up environment .

Robert Griffin III went down in Week 1, and Josh McCown was set to take over for him.

UCLA had a extremely strong game vs BYUs struggling offense last time out but it must be noted that , UCLA’s run defense in the recent past was one of the weakest aspects of their defense. In their last five games dating back to last season, the Bruins had allowed at least 175 yards rushing in all of them. Now against Stanford's methodical attack, Im betting will see their problems resurface. With the Bruins senior defensive end a key catalyst last week looking banged up and limping , I expect UCLA will not be as explosive off the line, and MCaffery and company to once again show their superiority in PAC12 play. It must also be noted that the 2012 Pac-12 Championship Game was the closest UCLA has gotten to beating Stanford in their last eight meetings  (24-27), but in the 7 straight reg season losses the Bruins  have lost by an average   36.1 -16.4 score. Look for history to repeat itself this Saturday.

The Gators have had great success against the Vols in ESPNGameDay games. Florida and Tennessee have played seven times with GameDay in town, with the Gators recording a 6-1 mark in those games — despite just one of those appearances coming during Florida’s current 11-game winning streak against the Vols. I have not been impressed by either side this season, and maybe especially by the Vols as the media consistently year after year expects big things from them. This in my opinion is just media bs, and delussional. 

Florida also has a perfect 4-0 record against Tennessee in Knoxville when GameDay is in town, winning the last two such meetings — including one in 2012 — by 17 points. Getting this many points is golden in my humble opinion.

BYUs defense has been very strong this season ,but the reason they are 1-2 is because of their inability to move the chains.

BYU cannot afford to drop to 1-3 and will leave everything on the field today in what could be a su upset.

USC is one of the most talented teams in all of college football despite of starting their season 1-2 . Their two losses came to Alabama and Stanford , teams that are ranked the top ten the nation and that could easily be playing for a national championship this season. Replacing replacing Max Browne with redshirt freshman Sam Darnold for Friday night's game at No. 24 Utah to will also add a new look to an offense that needs to move the chains more regularly and more than capable of doing so. Note: In 3 games, in mostly mop up duty, Darnold is 14 of 22 for 136 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception.
Meanwhile, Utah, owns a inconsistent offense and an aggressive defense. The difference maker tonight comes via the Trojans superior athletes . USC's defense, led by Jackson and linebacker Cameron Smith, has much more talent than any other opponent Utah has seen so far this year.

Trojans are 29-11 ATS in their last 40 games following a straight up loss.Utes are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Friday games.Utes are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.Utes are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 conference games.

Bottom line here, is  that this is an improved  Jaguars team   and more  talented team with more weapons on offense, and it’s  defense is the most impressive as they held up well against Packers superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

After being bruised and beaten in a physical game on the West Coast last week, Im betting the Fins wont be much of a factor this week, and will go home to Miami 0-2.

Miami is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game, which happened against Seattle and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games on fieldturf and a ugly 1-8 ATS in their last 9 vs. AFC East and 3-13 ATS vs AFC.

When Roethlisberger was healthy last season, Pittsburgh scored more than 28 points per game, and are always dangerous with him under center. Pittsburgh scored 34 against the Denver Broncos’ top-ranked defense, and 30 points against the Seattle Seahawks, who were second in total defense, and with the no huddle attack, will fluster the Skins. I know alot has been made of cornerback CB Josh Norman being signed by the Redksins, but he comes into a Skins defense that was 25th against the pass in 2015, ranking 22nd in opposing quarterback rating and while his presence will make a difference and wont be enough in my opinion for a enormous turnaround. Tonight against explosive WR Antonio Brown he may look quite average. Meanwhile, the Steelers despite of being without Le’Veon Bell who is suspended for the first three games of the season, look good as Pittsburgh’s offense never missed him last year as he did not play in quite a few games as RB DeAngelo Williams rushed for 11 touchdowns and 907 yards on 200 carries, and could have a field day against a Skins defense that ranked second-to-last in opponents’ yards per carry a year ago.

This game is being played in Orlando but is just a half hour down the road from their own diggs, so I would still say this is a home game for the Seminoles.

Noles have gone 8-0-2 when they have played in Orlando dating back to 1952. hMississippi has lost alot of players to graduation, and despite of a top flight QB are in my opinion a lesser opponent.
