We start in Cincinnati where the Bearcats are taking consensus some 65%. Buyer beware the Cyclones have won the past two matchups in this series including a 30-10 win two years ago on the road just as this game is. My pick here is the Cyclones against the consensus. Iowa State -108 money line is the pick as they do bring back the QB and coaching staff from last years 34-17 win vs. the Bearcats.

App State host Oregon State in an early game for the west coast team. Consensus ATS and money line is on App State. I’ll follow the consensus here Appalachian State -120

Virginia Tech looks to get the ship righted they are -7 vs. Wake Forest. Wake traditionally has trouble with this team playing in VA. Two years ago the last matchup a 30-13 win for Va Tech. I’ll take the Hokies, Virginia Tech -7

Kentucky vs. Georgia – Well last year the game was 13-12 UGA escaped Lexington with a win. Georgia has won 15 in a row in the series. This version of the Wildcats doesn’t appear to really be able to compete with the SEC in league play. With this game coming the week after the Alabama game in which the DAWGS were upset doesn’t bode well for the Wildcats. In 2024, 2022, 2020 and 2016 Kentucky was able to keep it close. The Cats have shown me nothing yet to say they will keep this close. Under 48.5 and Georgia -20 the two options as I see it.

Fresh off their win vs. FSU the Cavaliers and Virginia travel to Louisville. This is a tough matchup at the Cards have won 3 in row in the series. At -6.5 the Cards would’ve covered two of the last 3 as well with last years matchup only going 24-20 Louisville’s way. Virginia can be tough to cover against because they run the ball well. After having to come back last week in Pittsburgh I think the Cardinals will want to start better at home. My pick U of L -6.5 of course try to get them even money should they fall behind here.

Nebraska the consensus favorite at around 66% laying -11.5 vs. Michigan State. While the Spartans haven’t won in Lincoln since 2013 they have won two and four years ago in the most recent matchups. This Nebraska team is good but I’ll take the Spartans with the points.

California 85% consensus vs. Duke, they have no recent matchup history here.

Florida hosting Texas in a year where things couldn’t look much worse last year it was Texas 49-17. This one may have live bet opportunities depending how long the Gators stick around. My pick though is Texas -7.

Miami looks to make some noise from the state of Florida and let it go nation wide they are for real. 74 % consensus is the Hurricanes here. They won last year 36-14, my pick is Miami -4.

Vikings vs. Steelers from Ireland. In this early season we have seen the stars of the Vikings show up even with McCarthy injured. The main thing with this Vikings team is the defense really because Coach Flores is showing everyone he should’ve been their head coach candidate. The Steelers showed last week on the road they can play that type of low scoring game in their win at New England. We do see so far it’s 27 a game for Minnesota and 24 a game for Pittsburgh. We see the total not paying that any mind at all sitting at 41. I think this is gonna be a defensive game that has a slight chance to get over. Who knows what kind of consistency we get from Wentz he hasn’t played Pittsburgh since Big Ben was at QB. That being said I’ll take the Under 41 and take my chances. With my lean towards the Steelers here.

Playoff look ahead? It’s week 4 but Todd Bowles has done well against the Eagles. Last team to beat Hurtz at QB was this Tampa Bay team. Yet we have the hamstring with Evans, Godwin may be out too with the ankle so the rookie and Baker. I think it’s only because the Eagles look unbeatable right now because I have to let you know that 4 or the last 5 meetings have gone the Buccaneers way. Eagles -3.5 I’m just not picking against them right now.

Bills /Saints Under 47.5 my reasoning being Buffalo is gonna want to get the win run the ball and get the fuck out of there. The Saints will want to move the ball anyway they can, but I’m on the UNDER instead of laying -16 thats too much.

Patriots vs Panthers Under 43, because I think it’s also New England -5, reason being its odd to see them favored by that much and the bookie knows something in setting that line.

Commanders vs Falcons – Over 45.5 and I think right now this line is giving credit where it has been a tall task to Washington since last year. Jayden Daniels has too many weapons right now for me to look at Atlanta. They have to show me to make me believe because the number -1 looks like free lunch. Always beware because you still gotta always beware what appears to be free lunch. Washington -1

The Lions vs. The Browns, I look at the -10 and said damn they set the line like they got Eminem up there betting on the Lions. The Browns strength is on defense which won’t hold up against Detroit. Lions -10.

0-3 and they get a division opponent they have beat up the four of five times in Tennessee. Texans -7.

Chargers are going to have to be dealt with in the playoff this year. I’ll take them in NY as well LAC-6.5

Jaguars +3 as injury woes have to take a toll eventually for the 49ers.

Colts vs. Rams I have to go with the every four year matchup having the Rams won the past 4. Rams Money Line

The Bears who looked good against the Cowboys and the trip to Vegas might be another win if they can run the ball and hold it the same way. I’ll take Chicago -103.

I’ll just take the over in the Ravens/Chiefs as it could go either way but the Chiefs have won 6 of 7 vs Baltimore with their 2012 being the last Ravens win at Arrowhead. Baltimore looked like they had some problems 3rd down getting off the field, thats where this game will be decided if the Ravens d can win 3rd down. Cheifs money line. Over 48.5

Packers -6.5 taking some 90% consensus. I know what they did in the playoffs but this game is all about Parsons hype, except the Pack has won 9 of 10 vs Dallas. Packers -6.5.

As always Best of luck and enjoy your Sunday
