Based on recent history, Sunday’s Ravens team total of 25.5 is right in the sweet spot of what bettors should expect. Baltimore has scored 27, 24, 28 and 25 points, respectively, in its last four games vs. Cleveland. The Ravens have also scored 23, 27 and 26 points over their past three games overall. Sunday’s visit to Ohio is the second of three consecutive road games for the Ravens, who have gone an impressive 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 away from Baltimore.

TITANS -3

Starting quarterback Marcus Mariota didn’t play last weekend against the Houston Texans and is iffy to suit up against Jacksonville in Week 3. Backup QB Blaine Gabbert has a chance to take down Jacksonville, the team that took him with the 10th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, for the second time in two years.

Gabbert started under centre for the Arizona Cardinals when the AFC West club topped the Jaguars 27-24 last season. The journeyman signal caller has craved a place for himself in the league as a serviceable backup and a decent option for spot starts. He’s 3-3 with seven TD passes and six interceptions in his last six career starts with the Titans and Cardinals.

WISCONSIN -17

Wisconsin leads the Big Ten with time of possession, keeping the ball for over 35 minutes per game.

And now the Badgers have had two weeks off to rest up that dinged up O line.

Nebraska is dead last in the Big Ten in time of  possession, keeping it for under 28 minutes a game mostly because Martinez and company can’t convert on third down chances.

You know what the Badgers are going to do, and the Nebraska defensive front can’t stop it. The Huskers have allowed four rushing touchdowns in each of the last two games, and now they’re going to get steamrolled over by the rested Wisconsin offensive front.

I like Old Dominion a lot here. FAU will most likely win outright, but their defense hasn’t shown nearly enough to make them palatable as a multi-touchdown favorite.

Take ODU plus the points with confidence here.

LSU -143

Each of the last four meetings in this series have been decided by seven points or less, so another close game should be expected on Saturday. Florida coach Dan Mullen has the offense on the right track, but can this unit generate enough points against a stingy LSU defense? It’s tough to read too much into last season, but Mullen’s offense at Mississippi State gashed the Tigers for 37 points. Can Mullen find a few areas to exploit once again? In a tight game with two standout defenses, turnover margin and quarterback play are the two areas likely to decide this matchup. Oddly enough, Florida and LSU rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the SEC in turnover margin this season. However, the Tigers have an edge under center with Burrow’s performance in 2018, and that’s likely to be deciding factor in this game.

LSU 28-24

SYRACUSE -3

As Clemson found out, this Syracuse defense isn’t all that bad. It’s as strong as it’s been in years, and now, the Orange have the right mix under Dino Babers to be good enough to not just hang with a team like Clemson, but actually come really, really close to beating it on the road.

It all starts with the defensive front and a great pass rush that’s been able to crank up ten sacks over the last two weeks and generate consistent pressure against the good offensive lines, much less the weaker ones.

The Pitt offensive front isn’t all that bad, but it’s not doing anything for a woeful running game that’s not able to find anything that consistently works.

And that’s the big problem for the Panthers – the lines aren’t playing well enough. That goes hand-in-hand with being second-to-last in the ACC in both offense and defense.

The Orange D is getting the job done, and the O is working, too, scoring 30 points or more in every game but the loss to Clemson – no shame in only putting up 23 points in Death Valley.

TEXAS +7.5

The game has been decided by fewer than seven points over the last four meetings, and it’s about to happen again – with a similar playbook.

Texas will seem like it always has the ball, and it’ll be in control of the game, but it’ll get hit with just enough Oklahoma home runs to keep it close.

Texas will play really, really well, but it won’t be able to put the game away.

When pressed, Murray will overcome a frustrating first three quarters with two fourth quarter touchdown drives to take the game back. The Texas drives that ended with field goals instead of touchdowns will be haunting.

Georgia Tech -181

What happened to the Louisville offense? It used to be beautiful … this version is unrecognizable.

The passing game can’t complete anything down the field on a regular basis, there are too many picks, and the offense overall is dead last among all ACC teams averaging just 312 yards per game.

It’s not totally the fault of the offensive line, but it’s close. The line can’t keep defenses out of the backfield, and it’s killing the running game.

The Cardinal defensive front hasn’t been bad against the run, but that’s partly because it hasn’t faced too many teams with great ground games. Virginia didn’t have any problems, and Alabama was Alabama – Georgia Tech’s offense should go off against the UofL line that doesn’t apply enough pressure.

The big issue? Turnovers. Georgia Tech has come up with ten takeaways so far, and Louisville is among the worst teams in college football in turnover margin. The Yellow Jackets aren’t going to need much help.

The Packers have yet to play a clean game, but Aaron Rodgers is finally practicing during the week, and he does, in fact, stir the drink that is the offense according to Mike McCarthy. Similarly, don’t be fooled by Pettine’s calm demeanor at press conferences: he’s going to be motivated to get a faster start from his defense. With Oren Burks healthy, Josh Jones hopefully healthy, and Bryan Bulaga healthy enough (he practiced Thursday), the Packers should have enough firepower to put up points on the Bills’ defense and make life tough for rookie quarterback Josh Allen.

OREGON -2

Cal's defeat of BYU is certainly impressive in hindsight. The Golden Bears proved they can outlast a physical, defensive-minded team and take advantage of question marks on offense. Oregon is an entirely different opponent. Defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt has introduced a more smash-mouth approach on defense, but the Ducks can and will continue to push the pace when on offense.

Oregon can get out to a fast start and dictate the tempo, Cal is much less equipped to rally than Stanford a week ago. The first few possessions should reveal much about both teams. This is Cal's opportunity to score a marquee win and announce itself as a Pac-12 title contender. Oregon can rebound in as much of a must-win scenario as a team can face in September. Oregon pulls the money win here.

Kentucky has beaten South Carolina four years in a row. It is difficult to maintain winning streaks like that (unless you are Tennessee or Florida, apparently). But no matter how I have looked at this game, it is tough to see a way that South Carolina wins at Kroger Field on Saturday.

Kentucky is better on paper. They are the more physical team. They have the momentum. After looking at every angle, I think the Wildcats are going to have to lay an egg to lose this one.

If Kentucky does walk away with a win and they strut into College Station at 5-0, the hype around this team will be out of control. They will be knocking on the top 10 and Benny Snell will take another leap in the Heisman race.

I, for one, am here for all of that.

CFB 100 DIME GAME

FLORIDA ATLANTIC -3

It was about at this point last year when the machine turned on, but the offense has already started to work. The defense struggled against UCF and Oklahoma, but that’s UCF and Oklahoma.

This is where the Middle Tennessee passing game rocks, cranking up at least 250 yards at a 65% clip with three touchdowns throws. But the FAU running game is working.

Running for 376 yards and six scores against Bethune-Cookman is one thing, but coming up with 320 yards and four touchdowns against UCF is another.

The FAU offense will do just a wee bit more in a wild firefight. Get ready for a whole lot of tempo swings and a lot of points, but the Middle Tennessee defense will have a harder time getting off the field.

This is a somewhat surprisingly difficult pick. History says go with Snyder as a home dog. However, Kansas State is a mess, and for the first time in a while, it genuinely feels like Snyder's back is against the wall. Still, history also says Texas coach Tom Herman is far better against the spread as an underdog. A lot of clashing trends here, but for the sake of making a pick, I'd sooner bet on Snyder in this situation than Herman.

TEXAS TECH +4

Honestly, my preseason predictions had Texas Tech starting 7-0 before a massive collapse to finish sixth. Obviously, I had Tech winning this game. West Virginia’s defense has looked good in its first three games, but they still gave up way too many points to Youngstown State. Quite frankly the turnover situation is going to be a major difference. Tech’s defense prides itself on turnovers. In a game featuring two gunslinging, air raid offenses, turnovers are everything. Each missed opportunity becomes points the other direction. Give me the better defense.

The Seahawks will be playing their home opener, which will bring some extra juice to an already lively building. The problem is that they aren't the same team.

CHARGERS +7

Biggest challenge yet for the Rams will be this week. It’s been a long time since the Rams have started off 3-0, and it will by no means be an easy feat this week. Chargers QB Phillip Rivers is a surefire first class hall of fame player, and still playing like he’s in his prime. He’s a bad boy, and one of my favorite QB’s of my lifetime. He’s surrounded by talent in RB Melvin Gordon, WR’s Keenan Allen and Travis Benjamin, change-of-pace back Austin Eckler, and a solid offensive line. Aside from that they have one of five best front sevens in the NFL. However, their secondary (which is really good) is banged up. This could be a game where Todd Gurley sees about 7-9 targets out of the backfield. If so he might go off in the second half. Rams defense has their hands full but the Rams offense has some holes to exploit due to injuries on the Chargers defense. Could be looking at a shootout, which is the wrong time to lose Greg Zuerlein. This is more evenly matched than people are giving it credit for being. I’m going Rams because when it’s even homer-ism kicks in.

This was always going to be one of the tough hurdles for Wisconsin to clear this season if the Badgers were going to make a playoff push. After losing last week, Wisconsin cannot afford to lose again now that conference play is opening, but winning on the road in Kinnick Stadium is not easy for anybody. Iowa has the tools in place to go head to head with Wisconsin but will need quarterback Nate Stanley to shrug off a disaster of a game against Wisconsin last season. Odds are, Stanley is not going to complete just 8-of-24 pass attempts for 41 yards this time around. He doesn’t have to throw five touchdowns as he did against Ohio State last year, but Stanley should be able to lead enough effective drives at home to give Iowa a chance to jump on top of the Big Ten West standings and secure a win against Wisconsin.

Both of these teams are a bit overloved, but at least Stanford has a resume.

TCU -135

Looking at this matchup, it’s tough to ignore how the last four games between these teams turned out: TCU’s 24-7 win in 2017 is the closest game in its winning streak.

The gap between the two programs is closing; although it’s probably not shrinking fast enough for many Longhorn partisans. Considering they’re playing in Austin, though, this feels pretty close to a toss-up. The point spread says as much.

Texas’ win over a flailing USC squad last week gave the ‘Horns something to build on, but confidence only goes so far against a sharp-edged team like TCU. After Shawn Robinson’s baptism of fire last week, the charged atmosphere on Texas’ turf won’t scare him. Look for Sam Ehlinger to make one more mistake than his counterpart, which will account for the final margin.

 Both offensive units have the same directive: Do whatever they can to make things easier for their quarterbacks. The Giants drafted Barkley to take the pressure off Manning, and the Cowboys desperately need to get Elliott more touches and balance things out for Prescott. I do believe the Dallas offense will be more efficient Sunday at home. To me, the most important key is affecting Manning enough so he can’t hit those home-run plays downfield to Beckham and others. The Cowboys’ defense allowed only one big pass play last week – a 19-yard completion by Cam Newton – and they’ve got to continue that pressure Sunday. In what I expect to be a low-scoring game, one or two explosive plays can make all the difference. Gut Feeling: Cowboys grind out a win to get to 1-1.

PATRIOTS

Having to resort to a player like Patterson as a real part of the offense is not a good position to be in, but it's one that might be New England's reality due to the injuries, suspensions (Julian Edelman), and matchups presented in this game. It would be another story if they could count on their offensive line to keep Brady upright all afternoon but that seems unlikely with Calais Campbell, Yannick Ngakoue, Marcell Dareus, Malik Jackson and company going up against a group that lost its starting left tackle and swing tackle from last season and saw first-round pick Isaiah Wynn go down with a knee injury during the preseason. All that said, if there is any team that can take a matchup that looks bad on paper and swing it to its advantage, it's these guys.\

The Sooners will build an early lead and then coast in the second half. I would like to see Riley the starters (other than Murray, perhaps) in for at least the first three quarters, though.

Northwestern is going to come out firing on all cylinders early in the first half, looking to seek revenge on Duke for last year's blowout. With the game at 11AM Central time, the Blue Devils will be put back on their heels in the early going, but recover strong down the stretch. Look for Duke to ultimately overcome Northwestern behind a strong running trio of Brittain Brown, Deon Jackson and Daniel Jones with a high-scoring game ultimately coming down to a Mark Gilbert interception as time runs off the clock.

NEW MEXICO VS WISCONSIN 60 UNDER

UW’s offense sputtered early in the opener, which was to be expected with tight end Zander Neuville out because of injury and wide receivers Quintez Cephus and Danny Davis suspended. Neuville should be back this week; the line should be more cohesive; and the Badgers are facing a defense that allowed big plays in the opener. UW will roll, 45-7.

MISSISSIPPI ST. -6.5

This one is a real sticky wicket. As stated above, if you simply look at the results of the first weekend, you would have to make the Bulldogs a heavy favorite. But you never know when a Bill Snyder team is just playing possum after the week one struggle. Was this a case of their getting caught looking ahead to this game? If you’re a Wildcat fan, you hope so. One thing is for sure, any kind of repeat of last week’s 13-penalty, four-turnover effort and KSU will get taken to the woodshed quickly.

It will be a wild environment in the Little Apple but don’t look for the Bulldogs to crumble. This is an uber-experienced team that returned 93 percent of its offense from a year ago and also 77 percent of its tackles on defense. Though he may have to knock off some rust early on, Nick Fitzgerald’s return will be a shot of confidence for Mississippi State. But one thing to keep in mind, Kansas State QB Skylar Thompson was the field general for three come-from-behind victories last year and pulled the trick again vs. South Dakota last week. So don’t leave the game early 'Cat fans.

TCU/SMU OVER 59

The Horned Frogs and Mustangs have gone over the total in four of their last five meetings. The Horned Frogs scored 55 points in their season-opening win, while the Mustangs scored 23. SMU won’t score as much on TCU, but the Horned Frogs might go over all by themselves.

The Wildcats have a potent offensive attack that could quickly prove for BYU too much to handle from the get-go. This could put the Cougars putting them playing from behind for much of the contest.

BOISE -10

Boise State has covered the spread in six of their last seven road games and Troy has failed to cover in seven of their last eight home games. On top of that Troy is breaking in a new starting QB while the Broncos are led by a veteran signal caller. The Broncos will play a great game on both sides of the ball and even facing a good Troy team on the road they will win and cover.

CAL

There's no question Cal enters this game in better shape. The Bears showed signs of improvement in Justin Wilcox's first season as head coach and appear well positioned to take another step forward in 2018. Ross Bowers is the Pac-12's leading returning passer (253.3 ypg) and he should pair with running back Patrick Laird to form a productive, it not potent, offensive tandem.

North Carolina is looking to erase the bad taste of 2017 from its mouth, but Larry Fedora is already having to deal with 13 different players who have been suspended for varying lengths. The Tar Heels are inexperienced on offense and their issues stopping the run on defense have been well documented. Cal will have to account for wide receiver/return specialist Anthony Ratliff-Williams but otherwise the Bears appear to be the better team on paper.

North Carolina didn't make the cross-country trek to Berkeley to simply roll over but Cal should find a way to come out of this one with a win.

WYOMING +3.5

This is a team built around playing stout defense and running the football and this Cowboys defensive line has a chance to be special. They racked up three sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss against New Mexico and should get plenty more opportunities to make plays. While the Cougars have more proven players at the skilled positions on offense, this game has all the makings of a gritty, defensive struggle. Washington State is 1-5 in season openers under Mike Leach and this game is no cakewalk. With a game already under their belts, I’m going to roll with Wyoming at home in this spot over a power conference school.

W. VIRGINIA

Tennessee will score. Considering that wasn’t a given over a large portion of last season, start from there.

There might be a whole lot of excitement around the Pruitt era, and there’s a lot of talent there to push for a big year, but Grier and the West Virginia offense will be way too good.

It’ll be an inspired defensive effort by the Vol D, but the O won’t take advantage of the opportunities to take over the game.

West Virginia won’t dominant, but it’ll be a great moment for the program to show off the possibilities for the 2018 season. It’s a game the Mountaineers need to have, and they’ll get it.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN +17.5

Central Michigan is no pushover. It has a running back with NFL hopes (Jonathan Ward), but a new quarterback, and gone are the top three wideouts and tight end from last season. Offensively, the Chippewas might struggle. If Wilson can take over on offense and All-Everything Benny Snell gets his yards, the Cats should simply overpower in the home opener.

COLORADO ST +7.5

Both Colorado and Colorado State are desperate to show that they have improved from the mediocre product they put on the field a year ago. The Rams didn't start off on the right foot against Hawaii. But their offense does seem legitimately explosive this season. Colorado still has some things to sort out on both sides of the ball. This could be a high-scoring affair that ultimately favors Colorado State.

Duke got beat last year by Army. The situation is different since Army is not the same team. Duke has a lot of returning starters, but the concern I have is with the Army offense and defense.

The Eagles have a great chance to have a lead in the fourth quarter — as the Jaguars did last Sunday, the Falcons did last year and the Seahawks did three years ago. When they do, if they're smart, they’ll keep their foot on the Patriots' throat, the way they did against the Vikings and the top-ranked defense in the league.

Foles, of course, has defied expectations in filling in for Carson Wentz. But beneath that is a truth not enough people were willing to acknowledge: The Eagles are deeper and more dangerous in more places than anyone else. Foles has great teammates, great weapons and great coaches around him.

The Eagles are great enough to not be such big underdogs against the Patriots. They’re great enough to beat them, keep that trophy collection in Foxborough at five, and finally start one of their own.

They're great enough to etch into the history books, “Nick Foles beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl.”

Super Bowl 52 prediction: Eagles 30, Patriots 24

NICK FOLES -1.5 Touchdowns +105 keep foles in the pocket not a problem , 3 touchdowns or more
Running Back L. Blount +225 touchdown.. offensive line is best in creating openings for running game.
jefferys +145 - Foles is best reciever.. quick passes within the red zone.

EAGLES +3.5

I am taking the points with the Eagles in this contest. The Eagles defense was tremendous against the Falcons last week and they should be able to neutralize the Vikings offense as well. They feature the best rush defense in the NFL as they allowed an average of only 79 rushing yards per game in the regular season, and they were able to hold the Falcons strong running game to only 86 rushing yards last week. In addition, the Eagles were able to contain Matt Ryan last week by holding him to 210 passing yards, and they should able to do the same against Case Keenum.

Furthermore, Nick Foles showed great poise in the second half last week, and the Eagles potent running game is strong enough to do damage. The Vikings did allow the Saints to go 3 for 4 in the red zone, and the Eagles defense had the better performance of these two teams last week. The Eagles are on their home field, and their defense will be the deciding factor in this one. The Eagles are very tough to beat at home, and the last eight NFC and AFC Championship games have all been won by the home team. 

Eagles 11-3 ATS vs Vikings

Vikings 1-7 on the road SU against the Eagles.

The Titans are not a bad team. They're just an OK team that does not have a favortable matchup here. (They also had a negative scoring differential on the year.)

The Patriots are equipped to create explosive plays on offense and get ahead on teams. That's not the sort of game the Titans are equipped to play (unless the opposing team fails to score in the second half like the Chiefs did last week).

The Patriots have to much firepower.. But I like them to win 28-13. Lay the money on the under here.

e Bills defense had an up and down season, however, they buckled down and played well in three of their final four games. Overall their rush defense was a problem this season and they will be tested heavily by the Jaguars running game. Buffalo is conceding an average of 22.4 points per game, placing them 18th in the NFL.

I have the Jaguars winning 17-10. Lay the money on the under here.

The Falcons have not been the same team without former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, as his replacement Steve Sarkisian has been underwhelming at best. They have averaged 22.1 points compared to 33.8 a year ago, and Ryan's numbers have not been anywhere close to his MVP campaign.

Meanwhile, the Rams are averaging an NFL-high 29.9 points and look like their opponent last season offensively. Even though Los Angeles is inexperienced, this is clearly the better team and will cover the spread.

I have the Rams winning 27-17.

This game comes down to which team will be more aggressive in going after big plays in the passing game ... and executing them. The Titans have a strong run defense under coordinator Dick LeBeau and will focus on containing Hunt. But even with a good pass rush, they can be exploited downfield, both inside and outside.

The Chiefs have gone back to the attack mode with Smith that made them so successful early in the season with great play-calling by offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. The Titans have no answers for the speed of Tyreek Hill, as rookie Adoree’ Jackson is their healthiest and best defensive back.

Mariota is more limited with his wideout weaponry and hasn't been as crisp as Smith. The Chiefs are also built to contain Walker.

I have the Chiefs winning 20-13.
