The fifth-ranked LSU Tigers take on the No. 8 Florida State Seminoles in an early clash of highly ranked teams. Both teams come in with high expectations of making the playoffs and this game could go a long way in fulfilling those expectations. The Seminoles won last year's game when they blocked an extra point with no time remaining in regulation. Florida State was 16th in scoring last season and is led by Jordan Travis. He threw 3,214 yards and 24 touchdowns last season. Trey Benson rushed for 990 yards and nine touchdowns while Travis added 417 rushing yards with seven scores on the ground. Florida State's defense gave up only 20.6 points per game last season, which ranked 20th in the nation. LSU is led by quarterback Jayden Daniels. He threw for 2,913 yards and 17 touchdowns and rushed for 885 yards and 11 scores on the ground. All five offensive linemen return for LSU. Both teams are experienced, and loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. uds on defense, and return a dynamic dual-threat quarterback. LSU has all five starters back on the offensive line, whereas Florida State lost two starting o-linemen. I am looking for a close game but I think LSU's defense will be a little better and the Tigers get revenge. Play on LSU on the money line. This is a 3% play. | |||||||

The Mariners have been playing great the last month or so and to think they could be even better if their offense was more consistent. The offense did come through last night scoring 8 runs, they needed them all as they blew a 7-3 lead. The Mariners have been getting it done with pitching and that will be the key today. George Kirby goes for the Mariners today. He has posted a 3.28 ERA and will be the better pitcher in this matchup. The Mets will send Tylor Megill and his 5.29 ERA. Seattle has something to play for and the Mets gave that up a long time ago. Play on Seattle. This is a 4% play | |||||||

I am keeping it simple for this one and taking the Marlins. They will have the better pitcher on the mound and are the better team overall. They have taken the first three games of the series and are still in the hunt for the playoffs. Sandy Alcantara will get the start. he has been hard to figure out this season as he can be average or great. he has a better chance of being great against the Nationals offense. Josiah Gray goes for the Nationals. The Marlins have won eight of their past 10 matchups overall, including four straight. Play on Miami. This is a 2% play. | |||||||
09-03-23 | Northwestern v. Rutgers UNDER 39 | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
Rutgers and Northwestern were bad last year, especially in the Big 10, and they are not expected to be any better if not worse this season. Last season Northwestern opened the season with a win in Ireland but did not win another game all season. The offseason has been filled with turmoil as they had to deal with a hazing scandal and a new head coach. The Wildcats scored 13.8 points a game last season, ranking 128th. On the defensive side, they allowed 28.3 points which ranked 86th. Rutgers opened the season at 3-0, then reality set in and they went 1-8 in Big Ten play. Rutgers put up 17.4 points a game, ranking 124 and they allowed 29.2 points, ranking 95th. I have a feeling this game is going to be ugly. Rutgers and Northwestern return with two of the seven worst offenses in the country last season. I actually think both teams could be worse this season. Both defenses were horrible last season but neither team has the offense to take advantage of it. Play on the Under, This is a 4% play. | |||||||

Quarterback Donovan Smith, comes over from Texas Tech. He threw for 1,505 yards with 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also rushed for 116 yards with seven rushing touchdowns. The Cougars need to improve on the defensive side as they allowed 33.5 points a game. They lost the top two players in terms of sacks and interceptions so others on the defense need to step up.

Looking at last season's game it was tied at 24 each, way under the number set for this game. Houston has a new offensive backfield it may take some time for them to gel under game conditions.

Both teams come into this season with high expectations and new players. Fresno State has a new quarterback as Jake Haener went to the NFL. UCF transfer Mikey Keene will take over under center. Keene went 8-3 as a starter at UCF. They have an experienced offensive line which should help Keene and the passing game. Fresno had one of the top defenses in their conference and added some players in the transfer portal to bolster the defense.

Devin Mockobee rushed for 968 rushing yards and nine touchdowns last season. The defense will be implementing a 3-4 scheme so it may take some time to be in sync. The Boilermakers have a balanced offensive attack. Fresno State is talented but is breaking in a new quarterback. Fresno State has won nine straight games. Purdue has both a new offense and a defensive scheme, and a new quarterback. Fresno State's defense should make it hard on Card in his first start for the Boilermakers.

The Florida Gators travel to Morman Country to kick off the season against the 14th-ranked Utah Utes in a non-conference matchup. The Gators were a disappointing 6-7 last season while the Utes were 10-4. Florida won last season's opener 29-26 at home. The Florida Gators have a new quarterback this season in Wisconsin transfer Graham Mertz. For the Badgers, he threw for 2,136 yards with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. They return their receivers' room from last season, but the top two receivers are questionable. They also have to rebuild their offensive line. The Gator's defense will need to improve as they allowed 28.8 points and 415.8 total yards a game. The biggest question for the Utah Utes is whether or not quarterback Cameron Rising will be able to go in this one. As of this morning, it was a game-time decision. Last season he threw for 3,034 yards with 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions. If he can't go, the backup played well enough in the Rose Bowl last season when Rising got injured. They also have a very talented quarterback that will probably see some playing time. The defense last season allowed 20.4 points and 325.3 yards a game with just 107 yards coming on the ground. I wasn't a Graham Mertz fan when he was in Wisconsin and my opinion of him hasn't changed. His completion percentage has declined in each season and I don't see that getting better in the SEC. Utah does not have many changes on the offensive side of the ball which should help if Rising can't go. Utah has won the PAC-12 two years in a row and is one of the favorites this season. Going from Anthony Richardson to Mertz is a huge step-down, in my opinion. I think Utah will be able to control the ball on the ground. I am going with the Utes at home in this one. Play on Utah. | |||||||

San Diego State returns quarterback Jalen Mayden under center. He threw for over 2,000 yards and 12 touchdowns, even though he started the season on the defense. San Diego State has been known for its defense over the last few years. Ohio has to travel across the country for this game, which could be difficult. Their quarterback missed a few games at the end of the season and will need to get back to game speed. Mayden has had a full preseason under center and should feel more comfortable. Ohio doesn't have the offensive or defensive firepower to hang with the Aztecs for the whole game. Play on San Diego State on the Money-line. This is a 2% play | |||||||

The UTEP Miners finished last season 5-7 both straight up and against the spread. They will face off against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, who finished 9-2 last season. UTEP returns QB Gavin Hardison, he threw for 2044 yards with 11 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. They ranked 56th in rushing offense last year but they did lose their leading rusher. The defense ranked 42nd in total yards allowed. This will be Jacksonville State Gamecocks' first game in the FBS as they are the newest member of the C-USA. They were 9-2 record in the A-SUN conference of the FCS last season. Zion Webb will get the starting nod for the Gamecocks. He threw for 1737 yards with 10 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. They return their leading rusher, Anwar Lewis. He rushed for 820 rushing yards last season. Jacksonville State averaged 36 points a game and gave up 22.9 points. The UTEP Miners have experience and this is Jacksonville State's first game in the FBS division after playing in the FCS. UTEP has an experienced QB in Gavin Hardison. Jacksonville State ranked 52nd out of 130 FCS teams against the pass. The Gamecocks were voted to finish second last in the C-USA preseason media poll and I think they will struggle in their first game as an FBS competitor. Play on UTEP on the money-line.

The Braves and the Giants meet up in game two of their series with with the Braves taking game one. Atlanta has the best record in baseball while San Francisco has been battling for a wild card spot. The Braves have won eight of their last 10 games. The Braves will go with Max Fried on the mound. He is 4-1 this season with a 2.83 ERA this season. He has pitched well on the road, posting a 1.93 during road starts and an even better 1.66 ERA during day games. He is 2-0 with an ERA of 3.74 during four starts in the month of August. The Braves have won three of his last four starts. They are also 5-0 when he starts on the road. The Giants have lost six of their last eight games and are a game back of the Cubs for a Wild Card spot. Ryan Walker will look to even the series for San Francisco. He is 3-2 this season with a 2.14 ERA. He has been used as a relief pitcher for the majority of the year and hasn’t lasted more than 2.2 innings in any of his starts this year. He has an ERA of 2.05 during home games this season. When they go to the pen, they have the 10th-best ERA and have allowed the 11th fewest runs. The Giants are 7-3 this year when Walker has made the start. Using a bullpen game against the best offense in baseball doesn't seem like a wise strategy to me. Especially when facing a very good pitcher. I don't see the Giants scoring many runs in this game. Play on Atlanta. minus 1.5 runs This is a 2% play. | |||||||

Notre Dame does have the advantage of this being the first game of the season as they have had time to work on defending the option offense of Navy. I think Hatman will make a huge difference to the Irish offense and he makes them more dynamic. Navy is suspect in Pass defense and Hartman should be able to exploit it. Taking away their most recent meeting, Notre Dame has won by 20+ points in their last three matchups. Notre Dame has not scored less than 34 points against Navy in the last four years and that should improve in this one. Since ND has had time to practice defending the option, I like them to cover this one. Play on Notre Dame. This is a 2% play. | |||||||

The D'backs will counter with Brandon Pfaadt. He is 0-6 with a 6.13. The Diamondbacks have won five in a row and ten of their last 12. Cincinnati’s offense can be explosive, as they showed against the Angels. I like thier chances to score off of Pfaadt. Arizona is just 5-7 with Pfaadt on the hill, 2-6 over his last eight starts.

He is 6-6 this season and has posted a 1.09 WHIP. Boston is eighth overall in runs scored. Boston is coming off a blowout win over Houston but is facing a red-hot LA team that has won 19 of 22 games in August and has a pitcher who has been dominant over four starts. The Dodgers have a slight advantage at the plate and with the bullpens being even, I am going with the better starting pitcher. I can't believe I am saying it, but that is Lance Lynn at the moment.

He went six innings last time out, allowing one run on five hits. The Astros are in a three-way race for the division with the teams being separated by a game. The Tigers are a long shot to win the division, so while they are not out of it they are basically out of the playoff hunt. The Tigers have been terrible on offense this season, ranking in the bottom 10 in many categories. Valdez has been struggling lately but the Tigers are the perfect team for him to get right.

The Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals meet in an important series for the Phillies. They will open with Michael Lorenzen on the mound, while the Nationals will go with Joan Adon. The Phillies have a Wild Card spot and can't afford to lose games to a team like the Nationals. Michael Lorenzen is 2-0 since joining the Phillies with an anemic 1.06 ERA and 0.65 WHIP. He is coming off a no-hitter against this same National team. Washington is the second-worst team in the NL but is 6-4 in their last 10 games. Joan Adon is 1-0 and owns a 5.14 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in three starts and 5 appearances. Lorenzen was solid in Detroit but has been a better pitcher in Philadelphia. The Phillies are in a fight for the playoffs while the Nationals do not have a lot to play for. I like the Phillies to win this one big. Play on Philadelphia minus 1.5 runs. | |||||||

Taillon is 7-7 this season with a 5.71 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. The Cubs' offense is top 10 in runs, RBIs, OBP, SLG, and OPS. Their pitching staff has been above average but has taken a hit lately. Taillon was hit hard his last time out and Marcus Stroman is out, possibly for the season. The Cubs are not only battling for a Wild Card spot but also the division. Taillon had been pitching well before his last outing. He had allowed three earned runs or less in six straight starts. The Cubs are putting up 5.03 runs a game. The Royals are putting up 4.02 runs a game. Taillon should get back to form against a weak Royals offense. The Cubs are playing for something while the Royals can only play a spoiler.

Arizona has lost four straight games and their 12th in the last 15 games. Zac Gallen will make the start for the D'backs. He is 11-5 with a 3.41 ERA and a 1.086 WHIP. Over his last three starts, he is 0-1 with a 5.12 ERA, a 1.14 WHIP. Minnesota has won two in a row and three of their last four. Dallas Keuchel makes his season debut for the Twins. Last season he was 2-9 with a 9.20 ERA and a 2.06 WHIP. Keuchel pitched well in the minor leagues this season, but you can't forget how bad he looked in the majors last season. Arizona has been absolutely terrible since the break but have a chance here to right themselves. Gallen has struggled recently but I like him and the D'backs to bounce back and get a win here.

Luzarda has not made it through the fifth inning in two of his last three starts.

The Rangers are ranked first in runs scored and team batting average. Scherzer has not been overpowering this season but should have no problem against the Sox offense. Even if he does let up a couple of runs, the Rangers' offense should be able to tee off against Toussaint and the rest of the Sox staff. These are games the Rangers can't lose if they are going to take the AL West. Play on Texas minus 1.5 runs | |||||||

The Rangers have the best hitting percentage in the league and have scored the most runs in baseball. They should be able to score on a Sox team that has a 4.60 ERA. Play on Texas | |||||||

The Houston Astros take on the Cleveland Guardians in a three-game series. Both teams are only a game and a half back in their respective divisions. Noah Syndergaard will make his first start for Cleveland since coming over from the Dodgers. He posted a 1-4 record with LA with a 7.16 ERA and a 1.45 Whip in 12 starts. Houston will likely go with J.P. France. He is 6-3 with a 2.87 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. This is a play more against Syndergaard than anything else. He has struggled all season and will be facing a very good Astros offense. The Astros are better on both sides of the ball and Cleveland has found it difficult to score runs this season. Cleveland is 25-29 on the road this season. I like the Astros' offense against Syndergaard and I don't think it matters who the Astros start if it it not France. Play on Houston on the RL |
