Detroit Lions 2022 Regular Season Wins Total Preview and Prediction

This is a 4* play on KENT.

It comes as no surprise that Kent State is off to a good start, with an overall record of 5-2, and a 4-0 home record. They have three senior starters, all scoring in double digits. The Golden Flashes are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 home games, and they are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall. They host South Dakota State, and the Jack Rabbits have failed to cover in five straight versus a team with a winning record. South Dakota State lost two of it's top three scorers from last season via transfer, and the other to graduation. This should prove to be a mismatch.

This is a 2* play on Memphis.

The Grizzlies host Philly Friday night, and the Sixers are still banged up. Maxey and Harden are out, and Tobias Harris is questionable with an illness. The Sixers are 8-17-1 ATS in their last 26 road games, and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four at Memphis. The Grizzlies are 27-9 ATS in their last 36 home games. The last time Philly played at Memphis they lost by 35 points (126-91).

This is a 2* play on Over. 

We saw three of the four games at the World Cup yesterday go over the total, which should come as no surprise considering that in the final match of the Group Stages certain teams are forced to throw caution to the wind as they need to win in order to qualify. Unlike the first two matches when they are content to play for a draw, they need to push, take chances and go for the win. Then you have other teams that have already qualified (Brazil) who will rest starters and don't necessarily need a result. Brazil's backups are more than capable of putting a ball or two in the net, and that's especially true against a Cameroon squad that rarely posts a clean sheet.

This is a free play on Akron.

So Buffalo will play a make up game against Akron Friday, and it will be their last chances to become bowl eligible. Before we put too much emphasis on what you could call a "must win situation", we have to keep in mind that Buffalo has lost it's last three games, allowing 45,31 and 30 points in those games. The Zips are the worst team in the MAC, but despite that they have been sneaky competitive. Only two of their seven losses versus unranked teams have come by double digits. Last week they gave Jeff Undercuffler his first start, and he threw for 312 yards, 3TDs and an INT on 21-of-32 passing in an upset win over Northern Illinois. I'll take the points with the Zips, and wouldn't be surprised if they upset the apple cart.

This is a 4* play on USC.

This is a revenge game for the Trojans, who lost 43-42 at Utah earlier in the year. Cam Rising threw for 415 yards and two TDs on 30-of-44 passing in that game, and the Utes scored a TD and converted on a two-point try in the final minute. Rising struggled in the loss at Oregon, throwing for 170 yards and three INTs on 21-of-36 passing. The Trojans have a playoff berth on the line, and a Heisman favorite at QB. This game looks like it will be a shootout, and the Trojans have more weapons.
