1* NCAAF - Illinois/Maryland FREE PICK on Maryland +2.5

(#109) Carolina Panthers @ (#110) Green Bay Packers | UNDER | . 

While a lot of primetime games have been going nuclear with points this season, I believe that we're going to see a much slower paced Thursday Night Football game this week. Carolina might be the more pass happy team of the two teams. However, the Panthers should try and establish a running game here as well, especially in a road environment in Wisconsin. I expect the Packers defense to be ready for this important week eight game. The Packers had Josh Jacobs return last week and although he wasn't creating as much as he would've liked, I think that they will feed him quite a bit in this game. Give me the "under."

Burns' Prediction: 27-17 Packers.

1* Free Pick on Packers -3½

The Panthers travel to Green Bay on three days' rest, and the line hasn't caught up to how banged up they are.

Carolina just got run off its own field, 43-13 to Tampa Bay.

Panthers quarterback Bryce Young posted a season-low passing yardage total, completed under 52 percent of his throws for the second straight game, and tossed two picks that led to 10 Tampa Bay points.

Now the injuries.

Right tackle Taylor Moton fractured his fibula Sunday and is done for the year.

Monroe Freeling steps in cold, and guards Damien Lewis and Torricelli Simpkins are both questionable.

That's a patchwork line protecting a struggling quarterback on a short week.

The secondary is in worse shape.

Corners Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are both on injured reserve, and fill-in starter Akayleb Evans is questionable.

Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips is trying to come back from a hamstring that already cost him a game.

Green Bay's defense is playing well, allowing just 17.8 points per game over its last 5.

At Lambeau the last two times out, the Packers beat Dallas 23-13 and buried Chicago 31-7.

The offense gets a boost too.

Josh Jacobs is back in the backfield, and Packers quarterback Jordan Love has thrown a touchdown in all 7 games this season.

He draws a Carolina team giving up 27.67 points per game.

Short week, road trip, depleted roster on both sides of the ball, against a rested-enough home team off a 3-point loss.

Lay the points.

I like the Packers

Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take #135 Illinois Fighting Illini over Maryland Terrapins (12 p.m., Saturday, October 31 FS1). I don’t expect Maryland to get much of a spark after firing Mike Locksley. With the remaining staff facing uncertain futures in College Park, keeping this team focused could be a challenge. Illinois still has a bowl berth within reach, and this matchup represents one of its best remaining opportunities to pick up a win. The Illini have won the last two meetings with Maryland, taking last year’s matchup 24-6 after a 27-24 road victory in 2023. Bret Bielema brings the experience to keep Illinois moving forward, and his team has won two straight against opponents stronger than the Maryland squad it faces today. Take the Fighting Illini.

FIU +14

Liberty is rolling, but I'm not buying a blowout at this number. FIU brings the nation's 19th-ranked defense into this matchup, allowing just 16 PPG and holding opponents to 28% on third down. That's a defense capable of making Liberty work for its points. The Panthers have also lost their last two games by just 3 points apiece, and they've covered both of their last two meetings with the Flames. Liberty's 600 penalty yards this season are another concern when laying two full TD's. The Flames should win, but winning and covering 14 are two different animals. Take FIU and the points. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Today's FREE selection is a strong lean on the FIU +14. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.
