This may be my squarest best bet of the year but sometimes a blowout presents itself and you have to accept that the number still isn't high enough. This is one of those cases. SMU is an offensive machine and there is little chance Tulsa can keep up with them. I don't think SMU has enjoyed enough success to be complacent and they should hang a big number today PICK: SMU -12.5 |

Rams v. Seahawks -1.5 | Top | 29-30 |
Loss | -105 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
I don't know if there are any teams I wouldn't bet against laying this short of a number in Seattle in prime time. This is one of the most difficult places to play and the line is here largely because of last season. I'm not sure if the bettors have fully realized how much this Rams team is struggling to protect Goff and in the secondary, It's important to note that there has likely been an overreaction to the Rams getting smoked at home and giving up 55 points. But the Rams have SERIOUS issues on their OL and this is not a good spot for them at all. I expect Seattle to move the ball enough when they need to ( when they let Wilson loose) and make life really tough on Goff. While there are a lot of different considerations in handicapping this game comes down to the one bad match up for me - that Rams OL is in for a bad night. PICK: Seattle -1.5 |

Look, I know a lot of folks are expecting the Bears to make it nearly impossible for the Skins to move the ball. I realize the Bears won 12 games last year and Washington is basically directionless. That said, how can you lay 5+ points on the road with Trubisky leading an offense that can’t do anything? I’m all over the home dog in this scenario. We got a low total in what may be an ugly game and I will GLADLY take The points in a game the redskins will have a shot to win outrught PICK: Redskins +5.5 |

This game comes down to value. I have the Rams rated slightly better than the Saints and they are only laying 2.5 at home. I realize the Rams don't really have a full home field advantage, the Saints are much worse on the road than the typical team. The Saints looked vulnerable defensively, giving up huge chunk plays to the Texans. McVay definitely took note and I expect the Rams to take advantage of some of the weaknesses in that secondary. Look for big plays from Woods, Cooks and Kupp PICK: Rams -2.5 |

The Chargers are a mash unit. They are missing their TE, best safety, best RB, best OL... Detroit gets the points at home because they blew the lead to Arizona late. While it was a pretty pathetic loss, there is still a lot to like about Detroit in this spot. I see The Lions getting to Rivers enough and I like their offense at home. Week 2 is a great betting week as the public tends to overreact to week one results. Their is definitely value in the Lions Sunday PICK: Lions +3 |

UMASS cannot stop anyone - hell, they gave up 45 to Southern Illinois and made an offensively challenged Rutgers look like they were unstoppable.

NC State -6.5 v. West Virginia | | 27-44 |
Loss | -110 | 26 h 52 m | Show |
WVU is terrible this year. Their reputation seems to be what is keeping this number at below a TD. The West Virginia running game is the worst in the NCAA with 64 yards on 56 carries! The OL is bad and they are making major mistakes repeatedly. The new system under Neal Brown is not working or they simply haven't figured it out yet. Doubt they will this week NC State had a lot of questions heading into this year but they are looking good. New QB Matt Mckay is making plays and seems to have the offense under control. Their defense upfront is stout and they should smack this WVU team even as a road dog. PICK; NC State -6.5 |

North Carolina v. Wake Forest -3 | | 18-24 |
Win | 100 | 32 h 20 m | Show |
After having rode UNC early this year - last week cashing on an outright win at +5, this week I expect the party to end for Mack Brown. Wake Forrest has a dangerous offense led by QB Jamie Newman. Newman should pick apart this UNC secondary. Although Wake hasn't been dominant on the ground, Carolina hasn't had a good run defense in years and it's not much different this year. Look, UNC has found ways to win but this isn't sustainable. The better team gets the home win tonight by 7+ PICK: Wake Forrest -3 |

I don’t have to tell you anything about the Antonio Brown saga as it’s been all that we have been hearing about for weeks. While AB is no doubt a weapon, I still think the Raiders can score some without him. I really like the rookie running back, Jacobs and Carr has a lot to prove. On the other side of the ball we have Flacco, who is arguably the worst starter in the league. While the game should be close, I will gladly take the field goal handicap. PICK: Raiders +3 |

I don't really know where the niners support is coming from. Jimmy G looked pretty awful in preseason and training camp and their defense is below average. Tampa should be involved in a lot of shootouts but this offense is for real. Arians and Winston look like a perfect match and Tampa will throw all over this secondary. Big big games from Evans, Godwin and co.. PICK: Bucs ( pickem) |

Ravens -7 v. Dolphins | | 59-10 |
Win | 100 | 98 h 6 m | Show |
The Dolphins are a train wreck. Their weakest unit is the offensive line and it recently got worse with the trade of Tunsil. The Ravens physical Defensive front will give Fitzpatrick trouble all day. While I'm not sure what to expect of this run heavy Ravens offense, generally when a new style is introduced you will find early season success. It's hard to know where Miami is motivation wise when the front office is obviously tanking but we do know that the Ravens will be ready to roll. And roll they will PICK: Ravens -7 |
09-08-19 |
Titans v. Browns -5 | | 43-13 |
Loss | -107 | 98 h 5 m | Show |
This is the "squarest" of my picks but I really believe in the Browns. While much of the press has gone to their potent offense led by Mayfield and now OBJ, it's their defense that should make them a contender. So much speed and talent and Garrett is an absolute monster. The Titans won't be able to keep up with Cleveland who should score 25+. I expect them to try to control the clock but not have much success on the ground. In the end, Cleveland will just be too much and will get the 7+ pt win at home. PICK: Browns -5 |
09-08-19 |
Redskins v. Eagles -9.5 | | 27-32 |
Loss | -110 | 97 h 46 m | Show |
Philly may be the most complete team in the NFL. The Redskins are looking like a bottom 3 unit. Week 1 is a good time to take advantage of teams that bettors assume aren't going to be terrible. I have a feeling if this game takes place mid season the line is over 10. While division foes typically favor the underdog, this Redskins team has a horrible QB situation and no real weapons to speak of. More concerning is their bad offensive line and now it looks like their starting left tackle, Trent Williams is going to sit this one out. The Eagles will cause trouble for the Skins' offense all day and this could be a big rout. PICK: Eagles -9.5 |

I think Miami is the slightly better team and we aren't getting the best line here because of the fact that UNC found a way to beat SC opening week BUT I'm backing the home dog in this spot. UNC is fired up and rightfully so. They look solid on both sides of the ball and I expect them to get pressure against a suspect Miami offensive line. This game should be close and I'll gladly take the points at home. PICK: North Carolina +5 |

Tulane v. Auburn -17 | | 6-24 |
Win | 100 | 30 h 11 m | Show |
So last week we got beat at the buzzer by a wounded duck throw by Nix since we had Oregon +4. While I didn't think the Auburn offense impressed much, their defense is even better than billed. This week Tulane rolls in and they do not have 1/10 the talent and speed of a team like Oregon. I don't see any way they can put drives together. Tulane relies heavily on an up tempo run game and Auburn sports a top 3 defensive line in the nation PICK: Auburn -17 |
09-07-19 |
Central Florida -10 v. Florida Atlantic | | 48-14 |

Consider this modest 10 pt spread a gift. UCF is primed to blow the doors off FAU. FAU relied heavily on now Buffalo Bill RB Devin Singletary and does not appear to have found a decent replacement. Their air attack won’t be enough to keep up with a UCF team that should score 35+ PICK: UCF -10 |
09-07-19 |
Texas A&M +17.5 v. Clemson | Top | 10-24 |
Win | 100 | 73 h 48 m | Show |
There is not doubt that Clemson is loaded but 17 and a hook is simply too much to lay on the road against a dangerous A&M team. Trevor Lawrence creates problems for any team and I expect him to connect on some big plays. That said, the Aggies have a talented and fast defense and they can create some problems in the pocket. Offensively, the Aggies will likely have to rely on the arm of Kelly’s Mond because Clemson is very tough to run on. If Mondperforms well, this could be a closer game than many expect. PICK: Texas A&M +17.5 |
09-07-19 |
Southern Miss +16 v. Mississippi State | | 15-38 |
Loss | -110 | 1 h 0 m | Show |
This line is too high for a Southern Miss team that should be competitive. Miss St had an amazing d last year but they only return 3 starters. While Southern may still struggle to run the ball, they should have enough success through the air to keep this one close enough. Bottom line is Southern Miss has the defense to keep this one competitive and we will gladly take the hefty points. PICK: Southern Miss +16 |
09-07-19 |
West Virginia v. Missouri -13.5 | | 7-38 |
Win | 100 | 23 h 31 m | Show |
Missouri got beat in a huge upset against lowly Wyoming week one while WVU just sneaked by James Madison. Mizz simply played incredibly sloppy and I expect them to clean this up quickly. WVU doesn't look to be very good team this year and scoring 20 v James Madison pretty much confirms this. Kelly Bryant should light up this weak Mountaineer secondary and Mizzou gets back on track. The number is good here at less than two TDs. PICK: Missouri -13.5 |
09-05-19 |
Packers +3 v. Bears | | 10-3 |
Win | 100 | 47 h 49 m | Show |
I'm still not sure what to expect from the Packers. They have added some talent on the defensive side of the ball and a new head coach but seem to lack real weapons for Rodgers, outside of Adams. That said, I am not a big believer in the Bears. They won a lot of games with a turnover margin that typically doesn't translate from year to year. While their defense should be very good, I expect GB to be able to score enough to keep this one tight. Also, Trubisky has simply been average at best. I'd way rather have Rodgers + points in a close game. PICK: Green Bay +3 |

This Notre Dame team is for real. There is a ton to love on both sides of the ball starting with signal caller, Ian Book who should take this offense to another level. Lousiville is going to have a really tough time handling the talented Irish front. Okwara and Kareem are gonna be all over Jawon Pass who, ironically, cannot pass the ball ( last year he threw 8 TD and 12 picks). This looks like a straight up rout PICK: Notre Dame -18 |

OU is playing at home in front of what will be loud raucous crowd. They have transfer Jalen hurts, some of the best offensive weapons in the country and a coach that is as good as any in the country. All that being said this is too many points for a team with a brand new offensive line, a new defensive system and a QB that has to prove he can win by throwing the ball. Houston has a ton of offensive weapons, and new coach Dana Holgorsen will bring his high powered offensive style from West Virginia to Houston. Look for a high scoring game and an Oklahoma win, but Houston will cover the large number. The Pick: Take Houston |

Loss | -108 | 36 h 44 m | Show |
I flat out LOVE the combo of new USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell with QB JT Daniels. USC should be able to flat out score. The reason we get this game at under two TD's is because of two factors. The first is that Daniels didn't perform too great his freshman year. The second is Fresno State had an amazing year, winning 12 games! I expect a huge step forward for Daniels in his second year as starter and Fresno only returns nine starters. PICK: USC - 13.5 |

Oregon +4 v. Auburn | | 21-27 |
Loss | -108 | 33 h 31 m | Show |
Admittedly, it's not easy to side with the PAC 12 vs the SEC. However, I think Oregon is up to the task, especially getting the 4 point handicap. Bo Nix gets the nod at QB for Auburn. I'm not sure what to expect out of him but it would be difficult to see him really lighting it up. Oregon should key on the run, which Auburn will likely lean on. Conversely, Oregon is starting an elite QB with experience in Herbert. While I do expect him to be harassed by solid Auburn defense, he will also make some big plays. I just don't see how this isn't at least a close game. PICK: Oregon +4 |

South Carolina -10.5 v. North Carolina | | 20-24 |
Loss | -110 | 25 h 7 m | Show |
Man, I don't know if the hiring of Mack Brown has skewed this line or if the nature of the rivalry has but this is a colossal mismatch. UNC is going with the true freshman, Sam Howell and that does not bode well for the Tarheels. Conversely, S. Carolina has Bentley, the proven player who should lead a bunch of scoring drives. While the Gamecocks struggled to run consistently in 2018, they are up against a porous UNC run defense so I expect a balanced attack. PICK: South Carolina - 10.5 |

Florida Atlantic v. Ohio State -27.5 | Top | 21-45 |
Loss | -105 | 86 h 47 m | Show |
Ohio State is going to absolutely trample the Florida Atlantic run defense. They simply cannot compete with the power and speed at all. The way a team like Florida Atlantic would typically cover a spread like this is to compete on offense but I'm not seeing that either. With Singletary now playing for the Bills, they will have to rely on an inexperienced backfield that is over-matched in every way. Lane Kiffins FAU squad going to be embarrassed opening day. I fully expect 50+ from the buckeyes. Last two years they started with 77 and 52 points... PICK: Ohio St -27.5 |

South Alabama v. Nebraska -34 | Top | 21-35 |
Loss | -121 | 596 h 27 m | Show |
South Alabama is a joke. The lowly Jaguars posted a 3-9 record against pitiful competition and haven't improved in any obvious way. Nebraska, on the other hand is loaded offensively. Vet QB Martinez should start the season in full attack mode and Frost would love nothing more than to provide the home fans an absolute blowout to open the year at home. I also like the new D coordinator, Tony Tuioti, and expect some improvement there. This is looks to be something like 55-10 or worse and you should comfortably lay the points PICK: Nebraska -34 |

Boise State +7 v. Florida State | | 36-31 |
Win | 100 | 22 h 44 m | Show |
The ACC is yet again overrated. This FSU team should be improved but that doesn't warrant this line. In terms of value, FSU, largely based on name recognition moved from about 3 to 7. That's simply too much. Boise State has a stout defensive line and they are going to cause problems for a middling offense. When Boise has the ball, they have enough experience and talent to keep up. This may even be an outright win for Boise PICK: Boise St +7 |

Colorado State v. Colorado -13 | | 31-52 |
Win | 100 | 72 h 49 m | Show |
Once again Colorado looks to crush their rivals having won the last 3 by an average of 21.5 points. These teams looks vastly different in training camp and I expect Colorado to come out fast and never look back. While the Rams do have talented QB Collin Hill healthy at QB, he simply has no one to throw to. OTOH, Montez should move the ball with ease against a weak secondary - targeting a few really high level receivers. I also look for a big game from Sophomore Alex Fontenot on the ground. CSU will have no answers in Denver and this should be an easy 2 TD win for the Buffaloes PICK: Colorado - 13 |
