PATRIOTS -129

The Patriots have adjusted to having a limited downfield passing game with their strong power running game and exceptional blocking in front of Tom Brady and Sony Michel. They should have plenty of success running on the Rams' front seven, and even with consistent answers from Goff and Todd Gurley, the Patriots will use their superior ball control and red zone finishing to put away the game and earn the sixth ring for Brady and Belichick.

The Patriots and Tom Brady are a different team this year. They are only 3-5 on the road. Brady continues to make plays with what he has, but the defense is a concern. The Chiefs have a great passing and run game. I just don't see the Patriots keeping up with momentum.

TEXAS +14

The Longhorns started the season by stumbling at Maryland, but they quickly regrouped and defeated USC and TCU in consecutive weeks in the second half of September to reorient their season. They then beat Oklahoma, 48-45, to gain a leg up in the Big 12. They lost games later in the season at Oklahoma State and at home to West Virginia, but when Oklahoma beat West Virginia on Nov. 23, Texas got into the Big 12 title game as the second-place team in the conference. Texas played OU evenly for three quarters but faded in the fourth and lost, 39-27. I like Texas here.

This year's Rose Bowl is a classic meeting between one of the best offenses (Ohio State) and best defenses (Washington) in the country. The Huskies allow just 16.5 points per game on defense, while the Buckeyes score 41.1 PPG on offense. But if there's one thing we learned from the 62-39 beatdown OSU put on a Michigan defense allowing just 13.56 PPG heading into Week 13, it's that Ohio State's offense can pour it on with the best of them. 

Ohio St by 10 points or more.

BEARS +7

The Bears actually haven’t faced a difficult road test since Week 1 this year, with their other trips either being against bad teams, in mediocre atmospheres or both. So facing a Vikings team with everything to lose in one of the better home environments in the NFL will not be easy, especially if the Rams are winning comfortably as the afternoon goes on. Losing to the Vikings, though, would not lower the Bears’ chances of advancing out of the wild card round — in the last 30 years, of the 14 times two teams have faced each other in Week 17 and then in the first round of the playoffs, the higher-seeded team has won 11 times.

AUBURN -170

I like the Boilermakers in big games against ranked opponents, but I like Auburn to cover the spread in this game. The Tigers will miss Coe, but he didn’t record all 35 sacks this defense has been credited for this season. Purdue doesn’t protect their quarterback very well and that defense is going to give Blough fits on Friday afternoon. Rondale Moore will surely get his but Auburn is probably a touchdown better than Purdue. I will bet on Auburn to win this game and cover the spread.

This is going to be an ugly, hard-hitting football game. Last year’s game was a high-scoring one but it was played in the heat of the Orange Bowl. Hornibrook had a great game in that one, passing for 258 yards and four TDs against a similar Miami defense. Taylor had 130 yards rushing so the Badgers came prepared in the warmer weather. Now, they played in Yankee Stadium, which should benefit the Badgers due to the cold weather. Similar results as last season.

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GAME

TCU +100

Gary Patterson joked during TCU's final practice before the team's departure to Phoenix that "nobody likes good defense anymore." That said, a low-scoring, hard-hitting battle on the gridiron is exactly what fans should expect going into this one as one of the best defensive minds in college football goes up against a younger counterpart in the form of Wilcox. Whether it be in the form of touchdowns, field goals or safeties, every point will matter. And while the Horned Frogs' offense is banged up, TCU still owns the edge on both sides of the ball when it comes to experience and maturity. Cal, on the other hand, hasn't gone to a bowl game since the current seniors were still freshmen. Though the Cheez-It Bowl could go either way, TCU's experience in these types of situations will ultimately be enough to keep Patterson's record perfect against Pac-12 opponents while sending the Horned Frogs back above .500

Picking the Bills to beat the Patriots is usually seen as either taking the longshot for the sake of taking the longshot or simply being foolish. But something seems different this time. The Patriots just don’t look right. Saying the Bills are good enough to capitalize on that vulnerability is probably a reach, but it’s fair to think, with Josh Allen at quarterback, the offense is in more dynamic hands than it was when the Pats won at New Era Field on Oct. 29. Let’s go the foolish route. Bills 21-17.

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GAME

MARSHALL -145

Marshall appears to be healthy at all the right positions, especially at running back with the potential 1-2 punch of King and Knox. But what makes the Thundering Herd a strong pick is their defense against a South Florida offense completely unsettled at quarterback and in general with Gilbert moving onto McNeese State.

The Herd held three of their previous five opponents to 13 or fewer points before the loss to Virginia Tech, and one of those games was a 31-7 romp over high-powered Florida Atlantic, which averaged 31.1 points.

While South Florida has a strong running tandem of its own with Cronkrite and Ford, Marshall has yielded just 103.9 yards per game on the ground while limiting opponents to 2.9 yards per carry. The Herd have also yet to allow a 100-yard rusher on the season.

Momentum appears to be on the side of Marshall, which should stampede to a seventh consecutive bowl victory while Holliday improves to 6-0 in bowl games at the Conference USA school.

Ohio senior running back Maleek Irons (831 yards and eight touchdowns on 126 carries) and junior quarterback Nathan Rourke (816 yards on 125 carries, 13 touchdowns) also topped the 800-yard rushing mark along with Ouellette. Rourke, a second-team all-MAC pick, also passed for 2,228 yards and a career-high 22 touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Papi White (58 receptions, 897 yards, nine scores) also earned first-team all-MAC honors, while linebacker Evan Croutch (team-high 79 tackles, four sacks) leads the Bobcats’ defense and was a second-team choice. Ohio seems too strong on both sides of the ball for a slumping San Diego State squad.

The value is on the under.

OHIO

San Diego State slumped towards the end of the season, but the Aztecs' last four losses have come by a total of 13 points. Ohio started off slow but really got things going in MAC play. Both teams have found success running the football, so this game will likely hinge on the team that does that better. It should be an entertaining game in Toyota Stadium, but the edge goes to the team from the MAC.

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GAME

UAB -130

I am taking the points with UAB in this contest. UAB has the stronger offense, and I expect their running game to play a large factor in this one. The Blazers are averaging a sizzling 208.9 rushing yards per game, good for 29th in the FBS, and they averaged 29.3 points on the season compared to only 20.7 points from Northern Illinois.

Furthermore, the Huskies rely on their running game to generate a good portion of their offense, and the UAB rush defense is limiting opponents to 119 rushing yards per game, good for 20th in the country. Northern Illinois only averaged 19.3 points in their last three games of the season while allowing an average of 23.3 points. UAB has the better defensive and offensive stats in this matchup, and I expect them to win this one outright.

Oakland comes into this game having covered the spread in just one of their last five meetings against the Bengals. Several members of the Bengals defense are injured coming into this game. They will likely be without Vontaze Burfict, Michael Johnson, as well as cornerbacks Dre Kilpatrick and Tony McRae. That should bode well for Carr and the Raiders, especially given that their quarterback has an 8:1 touchdown to interception ratio over his last four games. Cincinnati is giving up 273.8 yards per game through the air, so take the Raiders to win consecutive games for the first time this season on Sunday afternoon.

In the department of a recent comment opponent, Arizona has at least one reason to feel good about itself heading into Sunday. While two of the Cardinals’ three wins have come at the expense of lowly San Francisco, they also beat Green Bay at Lambeau Field in Week 14–leading to the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy. Seven days later, of course, Atlanta got blown out in the Frozen Tundra. The Falcons are 1-4 ATS in their last five against the NFC and 0-4 ATS in their last four following a loss. Arizona is 14-5 ATS in its last 19 on the road against opponents with losing home records. The Cardinals are getting nine points and there is really no situation right now in which this Atlanta team can be expected to win a game by double-digits.

We’ve seen these Titans twice already in the season. They showed their face in wins over the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots. Those were two triumphant performances that should have propelled them to a more prominent spot in the AFC playoff picture. Yet, they fell off the deep end badly after both of those victories.

The lack of consistency from the Titans, particularly when they’re on the road, leads me towards siding with the Giants. The money is in the over.

The Bills put up 166.7 yards per game through the air this season while they run the ball for an average of 125.3 yards per contest. Buffalo is second last in the league as they average just 15.5 points per game while they are 20th in scoring defense by allowing 24.6 points per game. Josh Allen, the first-round pick from Wyoming, has completed 119 of 227 passes for 1,429 yards with five touchdowns and nine interceptions. He adds a team leading 490 rushing yards and five scores: he missed four games with an elbow injury but returned last month. Derek Anderson is 42 of 70 for 465 yards with four interceptions: he’s out with a concussion. Matt Barkley, who was 15 of 25 for 232 yards and two scores, will back Allen up in this one. LeSean McCoy is second in the ground game with 145 carries for 479 yards and two scores. Chris Ivory (101 carries, 340 yards, TD) and Marcus Murphy (41 carries, 215 yards) are next in line. Zay Jones leads the team with 44 receptions for 481 yards and four scores. McCoy (29 receptions, 210 yards) and Charles Clay (21 grabs, 184 yards) are secondary targets. Robert Foster has stepped up in the last few games as he has 15 receptions for 360 yards and two scores. Stephen Hauschka has hit 17 of 18 extra points and 20 of 24 field goal tries this season with a long of 54.

EAGLES 3.5

On paper, the Cowboys should win easily. But I think the Eagles have a real shot. The reigning Super Bowl champions seemed to find their footing over a two-week stretch against inferior NFC East opponents. And while the Cowboys have a comfortable schedule the rest of the way (Colts, at Buccaneers, at Giants) the Eagles have matchups against the Rams and Texans. A victory Sunday would be just one hurdle to a division title that still seems out of reach.

That desperation mode might pay off in a close contest. The deciding factor, to me, really comes down to the third "Thing to Watch." Carson Wentz, despite his inconsistencies in returning from a torn ACL this season, has proven he can drive his team down the field in the fourth quarter. If the Eagles build a lead early, building on their first quarter scoring from last week, can Dak Prescott respond in quite the same way? If the answer is yes, then your Cowboys are NFC East champions. If not... we still have a division race on our hands.

BILLS -3

The Bills blew the Jets out 41-10 a couple weeks ago at MetLife Stadium. They’ll have the opportunity to take care of business at home on Sunday against a Jets team that is 1-5 on the road. Allen doesn’t even need to play better than Darnold to win this game. That’s the bonus of having a defense that is second in total yards allowed (294.2) and first against the pass (187.2).

Darnold has shown promise in the limited time he has been behind center, but he is also a rookie quarterback coming off a long layoff on the road against a tough defense. Not to mention that ugly game against the Dolphins, where he threw four interceptions, is the last memory we have of him as a starter. The Jets defense ranks in the bottom-half of the league in nearly every important statistical category, including points, total yards and rushing yards.

Stopping the run might be the biggest problem for a Jets team facing a mobile quarterback along with the threat of running back LeSean McCoy coming out of the backfield. It won’t end in a blowout like the first meeting, but the Bills will eke out their second win over the Jets this season.

With the Redskins also decimated by injuries, this will hardly resemble that first meeting. Giants 23, Redskins 16

Ohio State just has too many athletes and the Wildcats don’t have a strong enough running game to keep them off the field. If this was not played in a dome, the Wildcats might have a shot in the cold weather or if there was precipitation to slow that OSU offense down.

TEXAS +8

the Big 12 by now is that the league is all about matchups. As Oklahoma under Lincoln Riley drifts more toward the Air Raid roots of Riley’s offense, it seems like the Sooners become a better and better matchup for Texas. This game, unlike any other in the conference, is an SEC-style game where the team that usually wins the line of scrimmage battle and is the more physical club wins, which is why Texas has competed well against Oklahoma (the last five games in the series have been decided by a total of 26 points) despite the Sooners being the superior team on paper.

The health of Sam Ehlinger is huge in this one since he played as close to a perfect game as he could in the first meeting. That said, the Texas offensive line is better than it was the first time around and is facing an Oklahoma defensive front that’s been pushed around in recent weeks, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Collin Johnson still have the edge on the Oklahoma secondary and Todd Orlando is fortunate to have athletes at linebacker and in the secondary who can hang with the Sooners on the perimeter.

Until Oklahoma proves otherwise, Texas is the more physical squad. That usually lends itself to winning the rushing yardage battle and the turnover battle, which usually decides this game. Even though some things have changed since the first meeting, everything Texas did well on Oct. 6 goes back to the Longhorns being the more physical team, which hasn’t changed in the nearly two-month period since the last time these two rivals met inside the Cotton Bowl.

I don't know that we've had a guy that I can even make that loose comparison to."

Georgia State might have struggled in a lousy season with just one win over an FBS team, but beat Georgia Southern, and that would be more fun than any bowl victory. At least, that’s what the team has to believe.

Can the Panthers stop the run? Not really. They’ve allowed over 200 yards in five of the last six games, and now they have to deal with an option attack that can stall at odd times – and did way too often over the second half of the season – but when it’s on, forget it.

7-0 when coming up with 200 yards, the Eagles aren’t just great when they’ve got the machine going; they’re not making big mistakes, either. They lead the nation in turnover margin after only giving the ball away five times. Georgia State isn’t going to come up with enough stops, and they’re not going to generate the takeaways needed to pull this off.

So there is still fight in the Heels, and they will give the Wolfpack a battle to close the campaign. But the matchups are in NC State’s favor.

JoeJuan Williams or someone else in the secondary (or maybe on the defensive line) will get at least one INT. Scottie Phillips’s status is still up in the air, but I doubt he will be at his best even if he does play. Jordan Ta’amu is also apparently limited with a knee issue that will keep him from being quite as much of a dual threat. If the Commodores can get a stop or two to go with a forced turnover or two, the offense should easily score enough to win the game.

This is a good bet with the Packers. The Seahawks are not the same money team like they use to be. They choked hard against the Rams. Packers for the upset.

GIANTS +3.5

At some point, the worm has to turn for the Giants. This could be the game. After what seemed to be a refreshing week away from football, Big Blue appears to be ready to take on all comers. Their luck is about to change. They have some new blood being injected into their veins (such as guard Jamon Brown, picked up off waivers from the Rams last week) along with several young players seeing expanded roles.

With all the talk about Eli Manning getting phased out, he’s not about to go quietly. Odell Beckham Jr. usually excels this time of year and Saquon Barkley is poised to take his game to the next level. It will be close, but they’ll finally pull one out.

It is hard to see the Raiders pulling this victory off even with them at home. The Raiders' defense has struggled, and their offense hasn't performed much better.

Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon should have a field day against the Oakland defense. Also, except the Chargers to get after Derek Carr, who has been consistently sacked all season long. This game could get ugly

The public is heavy on the Bears. The Lions have struggled this year, but you have to look at the trend. The Lions have won 4 of 5 games against the Bears. I understand the Bears have a stingy defense, but Vegas sometimes controls the way the game is played.

TEXANS +3

Bill O’ Brien seems to be leaning heavily on the running game of late. Luckily, it has been working. Against Denver’s 27th ranked run defense, it is easy to see him trying to get the most out of Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue this week.

Of course, Houston’s success on offense begins and ends with Watson. He’ll get his share of the workload; more than his share if the running game falters.

Since they will likely be leaning more on the run, Houston is not going to run up the score. Case Keenum and his stable of receivers are good enough to put up some points on Houston and make sure this one stays close.

Denver is favored by 2.5 points. But in the end, look for Houston to pull the outright win here. Take the Points.

STEELERS +3

Pittsburgh has won three of the past four meetings with Baltimore, with the lone loss during that stretch coming in Week 4 at home this season. The Steelers lost that game 26-14 as three-point favorites, with running back James Conner rushing for just 19 yards on nine carries.

There has not been much news on the Le'Veon Bell front following the trade deadline, so it looks like the team will continue to ride Conner for the time being. Conner's strong play since that loss has been one of the main reasons for the turnaround, with him averaging 122.3 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns.

Both of these teams come into this game playing exceptionally well. The odds would be much better in Washington’s favor had it not been for the fact that Atlanta is coming off of their bye week. This has given them a next or week to prepare for the Redskins and should help the Falcons in this contest.

Alex Smith has played well for the Redskins, but they are going to need a prime time offensive performance and the Redskins may not be up to that yet. Atlanta has a red-hot quarterback that will likely be the difference in this game.

WASHINGTON ST -10

Right now, Minshew is arguably one of the top five quarterbacks in the country, and he will put too much pressure on Garbers and Cal’s offense to keep up with the Cougars. Washington State is a plus-69 in its four home games this season, and a double-digit deficit early may be too much for the Bears to overcome.

Louisiana Tech is on a three-game winning streak and won four of the last five games, with a defense that’s been quietly playing well to overcome an offense that’s sputtering a bit.

The Conference USA Bulldogs are great at getting behind the line – Jaylon Ferguson is tearing up offenses with 10.5 sacks so far – but this game is about stopping the run.

Louisiana Tech can be hit hard on the ground, giving up over 200 yards four times – including 218 yards and five scores in the 38-21 loss to LSU – and now it’s up to Nick Fitzgerald to go back to being Nick Fitzgerald, if he wants to.

FLORIDA -6

Feleipe Franks, if you and the Gator passing game ever wanted to open it up, this is the time to do it.

Missouri made Terry Wilson look like Patrick Mahomes over the last several minutes of the collapse to Kentucky.

The Tiger secondary has had a few issues, getting lit up for 200 yards or more in each of the last six games – failing to come through in the clutch against the Cats last week in the 15-14 loss.

Florida would love nothing more than to ground-and-pound this game and make it about the time of possession and long drives, but Franks should be able to have some success.

He doesn’t have to be brilliant. All he has to do is hit his third down throws, not force anything, and connect on 60% or so of his passes. His defense should take care of the rest.

This is a Syndicate Move.

ARIZONA -3

Quite frankly, everything scares me about playing Arizona. The Buffs just lost, at home, to the worst team in the Pac-12. So I would say that any team is scary at this point. Arizona has a great athlete at QB that could have run for 1,000 yards against CU alone last year and the Wildcats just put a beating on a better team than the Buffs. As you can tell, I am psychologically scarred from last week.

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME

RAIDERS +3

Just because the 49ers are potent on offense doesn't mean they'll cover a field-goal spread against the Derek Carr-led Raiders. Oakland's quarterback was an efficient 21 for 28 for 244 yards and three touchdowns last week versus Indy. Expect Carr to have the crosshairs on favorite target Jared Cook. The tight end is No. 1 on the team in receiving yards with 474 and has found pay dirt three times. 

Carr also will look for Jordy Nelson, who has a 173-yard performance under his belt this season. Doug Martin and Jalen Richard form a one-two backfield punch. Martin is notching 4.3 yards per carry, while Richard is a more lethal pass-catching threat. Richard has more receptions (39) than any other Raider.

BRONCOS +10.5

Week 7 was filled with blowout results and Denver was on the right side of one of those last Sunday. The Broncos shot down the Arizona Cardinals 45-10 thanks in large part to two interceptions returned for touchdowns.

It was a bounce-back performance from head coach Vance Joseph’s normally stout defence. It was only a few weeks ago the New York Jets totaled 503 total yards of offence against Denver.

Emmanuel Sanders is unquestionably the top offensive playmaker for the Broncos. The wide receiver leads his team with 46 catches, 603 receiving yards and three TD grabs. Sanders even got into the passing game last weekend against the Cards. He threw a 28-yard TD strike in the first quarter to put the Broncos up 14-0.

The Bookmakers are giving to many points to the Chiefs since they surrender 26 points per game. This game will be decided within 4 points.

BROWNS +9.5

I am taking the points with the Browns in this one. The Browns have been very competitive in all but one of their losses. Two of their defeats occurred in overtime, and they lost by only three points in New Orleans in week two, plus they tied the Steelers 21-21 in week one. The Browns are tied for first in the NFL with 11 interceptions on the season, and they picked off Ben Roethlisberger three times in week one. Also, the Steelers have received minimal production from their running game in Bell’s absence. They are only averaging 88 rushing yards per game, ranking them 26th in the NFL, and Bell has yet to report to the Steelers.

Furthermore, Cleveland features a productive running game that ranks fifth in the NFL with an average of 135 rushing yards per game, and they were able to accumulate 177 rushing yards and two rushing TD’s against the Steelers in week one. The Browns should do enough on both sides of the ball to keep this one close.

JAGUARS +3.5

The Jaguars defense rebounded with a solid effort against the Texans after struggling in losses to KC and Dallas in week 5 and 6. Their pass defense still ranks #1, while their rush defense is scuffling. Despite their struggles, the Jaguars are only one game out of first place in the AFC South, and they are currently averaging 16.6 points, ranking them down at 29th in the NFL. They are holding opponents to 20.9 points, pegging them ninth in the NFL.

I like the Jaguars to pull out of the slump and pull the victory here.

NAVY +24

The Midshipmen need to get right, and unfortunately they're in the midst of a four-game stretch where the opponents combined record is 26-2. Malcolm Perry got banged up in the 49-36 shootout loss at Houston, and the Irish have had an extra week to prepare for Navy's offense. It's tough to imagine Navy having much success -- though if you are looking for a trend that could favor the out-of-nowhere upset, eight of Navy's 13 wins in the series have come at neutral sites -- but there is going to be plenty to build on for the rest of the AAC schedule after going up against one of the best teams in the country. A strong performance from Navy's defense would be very encouraging, particularly considering the high-flying UCF Knights are coming right around the corner. 

This game will be decided by 2 touchdowns.

TEXAS A&M +1.5

Texas A&M and Mississippi State are now going in different directions this season with the Bulldogs spiraling towards mediocrity while the Aggies have improved each week. The national spotlight has rightfully been given to Alabama and LSU, but A&M is lurking in the shadows as a one-loss in-conference team that could grab a share of the SEC West title in a three-way tie with LSU and Alabama.

Over the 11-game history between A&M and MSU dating back to 1912, the Bulldogs have a slight edge with a 6–5 series nod. The Aggies are refreshed and have something to play for, while MSU takes the field after a bruising game against LSU.

The Aggies by 4 points or more.

CFB 100 DIME GAME

KENTUCKY +7.5

Saying the coaching staff has concerns regarding Terry Wilson would be an understatement. Though he’s 7-1 as a starter, Wilson’s play from the pocket has been far from the leading cause of Kentucky’s success. Though their defense should be able to keep the game from becoming a shootout, the Wildcats’ will need to move the ball downfield in order to win at Mizzou.

Benny Snell has had yet another phenomenal season for the Wildcats and their defense has lived beyond expectations. However, without stability under center, it’s difficult for teams to win on the road in the SEC.

While Wilson made a few exceptional throws at Florida, he also played one of his worst games as a starter at Texas A&M.

The Wildcats are the better team, but this game will be much closer than what it should be. A change at QB seems inevitable, though Wilson could also come out & torch what is the 96th-ranked defense in the country.

Final Score: Kentucky 24, Missouri 20

Dolphins +7.5

Ryan Tannehill apparently won’t get another shot at the Texans as he is expected to miss a third straight game. In Week 6 vs. Chicago, Tannehill was oddly scratched with a mystery shoulder injury the morning of the game despite practicing most of the week. It was so strange that the NFL opened an investigation. Brock Osweiler played out of his mind in that upset of the Bears. He was still pretty good Sunday, but the Dolphins lost 32-21 at home to Detroit.

Miami was gashed for 248 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Detroit had 457 yards total and six scoring drives of at least 63 yards. Osweiler’s top receiver, Albert Wilson, left with a hip injury and is going to be gone a while. He has 26 catches for 391 yards and four scores on the season. Miami is 1-7 ATS in its past eight on the road.

Texans win 20-17. Take the points here.

FALCONS -4

The current over/under of 54.5 points is a challenging mark to decide on, and Bryant being sidelined for this game only adds to the back and forth on which side to take on that pick.

Thus, taking the Falcons and laying the six points is the better option at the moment. Even if Atlanta holds out Ridley and Sanu, Ryan still has enough in Jones and Hooper to consistently move the ball down the field, and New York’s defense does not make enough big plays to help its offense in the form of turnovers to create short fields.

Stopping Barkley will be a huge challenge for the Falcons, and whether he causes them to deviate from their Cover-3 will be something to watch. If the Falcons can do something big early on either side of the ball, that can turn into a feeding frenzy that triggers an easy victory given how fragile the Giants appear to be at the moment.

PATRIOTS -122

The Patriots are on a roll. They’re playing the way they always do this time of year, piling up win after win (they’re on a three-game winning streak) including last week’s victory over the Chiefs, who entered the game undefeated.

The Bears won’t lose Sunday because of poor play. It’ll be because of a moment, maybe two, orchestrated by Brady in the way that only Brady can do. And that’s OK. Chicago isn’t supposed to be ready to compete with the Patriots yet. They’re supposed to be a year or two away, and while they’ve gotten off to a better-than-expected start in 2018, expecting a win against New England this soon in Matt Nagy’s reconstruction of the franchise is unfair.

But it is fair to expect a good, hard-fought game. And that’s what Chicago will give its fans. When the final whistle blows, the Bears will come up short in a close game that Bears fans can be proud of.

North Texas lost to Louisiana Tech, but it got its offense rolling again after a few underwhelming performances, beating Southern Miss 30-7.

Mason Fine and the passing game don’t turn the ball over, there’s just enough of a ground game to keep things honest, and when the O works, it takes over games in dominant fashion.

Can the Blazer defensive front get to Fine enough to throw him off? It’s not like the D has faced a who’s who of passing games – at least, besides Louisiana Tech’s.

The Mean Green won in a 46-43 firefight last season, and while this won’t be nearly as much fun this time around, it’ll be a better game for the Blazers.

The defense will keep UNT down just enough with third down stop after third down stop to survive.

Ryan Willis is coming through.

He might not have pulled off the win over Notre Dame last week, but that was hardly his fault. Okay, so he wasn’t amazing, but he threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns and a pick to at least move the offense a little bit. That was coming off a 332-yard, three touchdown day in the win over Duke.

North Carolina’s pass defense has actually been okay – the issues are on the other side.

Over the four games, the offense has only scored more than 19 points once, it’s a disaster on third downs, and there’s no consistent downfield passing game.

Outside of a few runs by Notre Dame’s Dexter Williams, the Virginia Tech run defense is excellent. If the Tar Heels don’t get things moving on the ground, the offense isn’t going anywhere. However …

OREGON +3.5

I am taking the points with Oregon in this one. The Washington offense has yet to find a rhythm, and they are only averaging 22.7 points in their three road games on the season. Oregon features an outstanding rush defense that is limiting opponents to only 112 rushing yards per game, so they should be able to neutralize Myles Gaskin and a Huskies running game that has not played to their full potential yet this season.

In addition, the Ducks’ offense has consistently put up points in all five games led by Justin Herbert who has collected 15 touchdown passes on the season. The Huskies’ rush defense has been average, ranking 41st in the country, and the Oregon running game is averaging a sizzling 216 rushing yards per game led by CJ Verdell.

I think this is a huge statement game for USF. It is national attention, and for Black Friday hype against UCF, a win in dominant fashion is a must. I think USF will come out firing against Tulsa. Barnett will be the star of the game, proving he was worthy of the five-star rating. If Tulsa can get the run game going and can take time off the clock, I think it could be a low-scoring affair like last year. With that said, give me the Bulls by double digits.

The Eagles have had it tough this year. They have dominated the Giants going 7-1 SU. I like the moneyline here. The Eagles don't quite look like a Super Bowl contender at this point, but they are a far more complete team than the Giants are at this juncture of the season, and likely have the firepower to once again come out on top in a rivalry game that always seems to come down to the wire.
