Going OVER the total here. Last year 41-21 Iowa. 17-12 PSU in 2019. 30-24 PSU in 2018. Different teams, but we do so some scoring - and 40.5. Come on. There needs to be a lot of things breaking right for this to stay under. And that is just the offense not scoring. That isn't the defense forcing short fields or even scoring. Iowa defense brings it, we know this. For the team to win this one though, they will need to cross that football into the end-zone. Yes. Both defenses are very good at forcing TOs. I just don't see how this game doesn't play out 24-20, 27-24 or something in that range. 10* Money Bomb OVER Penn State/ Iowa

Taking GEORGIA here. So the Bulldogs in off a pair of shutouts over SEC teams winning a combined 99-0 over Arkansas and Vanderbilt. We are to think that Auburn stays within 20? You betting on Bo Nix being the guy to solve the Georgia defense? They are in off a great win at LSU. An early than a late 4th QB TD to turn 19-17 into 24-19. Very nice. But Georgia is head and shoulders past LSU right now. So coming in off that high, I think when the Bulldogs punch you in the mouth and all of a sudden it is 17-0 in the first quarter, War Eagle will be like, someone, anyone, help. 0 TD rushes allowed. 1 passing TD and 7 INTs for the defense. Until I see a team score off Georgia, I will lay the number. 5* Best Bet GEORGIA BULLDOGS

A team that was unranked, and not really expecting a huge year was in off b2b wins over Texas and Texas A&M. While the Bulldogs are a team we have a 150 ticket at +800 to win the Natty.

Taking the CHARGERS. Raiders are 3-0 with a pair of OT wins. Chargers 2-1 and could be 3-0 if they got some calls vs Dallas. And before we get into, oh, let down spot for LAC with win in KC, remember, Vegas could be in a let down spot themselves. I mean. They get a huge non call that Miami should have had a PI in the end zone. Short line here, so I am grabbing the home team. LAC has shown they can slow down, and stop an offense. Chiefs and Dallas can move the ball and score with anyone. Raiders, for me, with wins over a backup Miami QB - a game they battled back and could have lost. At the Steelers, who, the question is, how did the Bills choke away the game. And finally, an opening night win over the Ravens with RBs they picked up at the RB Dollar Store. And you need OTs vs the street RBs and a journeyman QB. Like we saw with the Ravens over the Broncos. Sometimes the record is inflated based on the teams you play. Chargers the better roster. I think they have big edge with their WRs over the Vegas corners. Herbert will exploit that. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS

And that is saying something cause the guy tosses 4 TDs a passes a game like clockwork. I can't see NE keeping it within a touchdown. I know The Hoodie will have some insight on how to slow down Brady. But there are just too many weapons for Tampa. Overall talent wise on both sides of the ball, edge Bucs. This is just a bad spot for Mac Jones. The defense for Tampa will want to stomp this kid out for their QB. Maybe I am being a square on this one.

Taking the RAMS. Ok. At first glance, we think let-down spot right? Off big win over the Super Bowl Champs. A nice game on both sides of the ball. Maybe Tampa was looking ahead to NE. Maybe their secondary isn't just that great. I think it is a combo of both plus, the Rams are good. Here comes the early MVP favorite in Murray and the Cards. Early start last week. Struggled a bit. Easy to think they come in here, cover or even knock off LA. I don't see it. One. Huge edge coaching for the Rams. Two. LA owns Arizona. 8 straight wins over the Cardinals. 9-10-7-27 the last 4 margins of victory. Maybe people have forgotten the miracle win for Arizona at home over the Vikings. I guess they forget them being behind at the half off a crazy special teams play. Not buying Arizona. The money has come in from 6 to 4.5 on Arizona. Edge for us on the shorter number - though I think this is a double digit winner. 8* Sure Shot LA RAMS

Taking the CHIEFS. So we all know KC has is now what, 1-12-1 ATS last 14 or something terrible along those lines. I will say I have had KC all 3 weeks. I thought they were begging us to take Cleveland week 1. And I love me some Browns this season. In Week 2, we had a nice 2.5 early number and had a double digit lead before a collapse on national tv. Then last week. A game I thought they would come out and dominate based on the Ravens game, and, more importantly, having a full season of film on Herbert, and seeing the Chargers not really get the offense offense vs Washington and Dallas to a lesser degree. Now this is it. Coach out of the hospital. 2 straight losses. This line will only go up. Every saw the Eagles look awful last night. But news flash, this is not a good team. This is as much of a 'must win' game for KC as any tam needs a 'must win.' Philly might be able to run a bit since we saw Lamar expose this defense. But there is zero way that Mahomes doesn't shred this defense. Simple for me. I hate saying someone has to win. But I will go back to the well one last time on the Chiefs. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

And the Browns overall, head and shoulders better than the Seahawks. Oh. Pretty sure Seattle was up double digits early in this game also. Make no mistake. Cleveland gets up and they can bury you with a double headed brutal rush game. The defense and pass alone, and Stefanski knowing this team. Huge edge. We cashed Minny as our Top 10* last week.

I can't see NYJ slowing down the Titans. The offense is just too good. The line is short enough where even if the Jets somehow punch one in late, I don't think the spread will come into play. Henry will maul these guys. Then the WRs will get their shots in. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE TITANS

This line did open at 8 - I don't think MSU is worse than Indiana. Maybe I'm missing something. Anyway - on to WKU off Indiana. It was a dog fight -a 33-31 loss. Big game on tap for them with UTSA on deck. Much more important than trying to get a win here. Get out injury free. You tossed the kitchen sink at the Hoosiers, and Michigan State will be ready. Spartans off a tough OT loss and have a trip to Rutgers on deck. But after a poor game last week, I think this is a big get right spot. 8* Sure Shot MICHIGAN STATE

Taking OKLAHOMA. At first look, you have say to yourself, we are grabbing K-State at this price. They won at Oklahoma last year 38-35. They won in 2019 at home 48-41. This Sooners team was down at West Virginia 13-10 heading into the 4th quarter. Won on a last second FG 16-13. They barely beat Nebraska at home, 23-16. We are going to make it 3 in a row over OU. This line opened 12, and has come down. So - a double revenge spot where OU was favored by 27.5 and 23.5 points. KSt QB Skylar Thompson is at best, very questionable for the game. He won those last 2 games for the Wildcats. His back up is also banged up. So - if Kansas State does suit up a less than healthy Thompson, this is a still a good spot. A 2 TD line move based on past games. And if we get a backup who did nothing last week on offense - we should get a huge revenge blowout with the Sooners winning by 3 TDs. 10* Money Bomb OKLAHOMA SOONERS

Even with that, and a special teams TD, Jags couldn't muster a backdoor cover. I don't think they get one here either. Burrow has command of his offense. Plenty of weapons before his WR teammate from college arrived. Defense is solid. Trevor looks over-matched out of the gate. This isn't the ACC baby. NFL defenses. 7 INTs 54% completions. That won't get you many win or even covers here. You're coach will be retiring in December. I am no fan of the Bengals HC either.

Is Miami the UNC offense? Because that was Virginia's only over in that 59-39 shootout. 37-17 Under 71 in loss vs Wake. 42-12 Under 57.5 vs Illinois. Even a putting up 43 on William and Mary is an under in a 43-0 win. And Miami. We won't bother with 69-0 over Central Connecticut State. Hurricanes 2 backup QBs go 21-25 with 5 TDs and 400+ yards. Against real teams - 38-17 loser as a favorite but Under the 57.5. 25-23 can't over vs Appalachian State and stays Under 55.5. 44-13 vs the Alabama Crimson Tide and other Under we cashed as a Free Pick. So The U may or may not have King under center. And if he is, how healthy is he? Is he a shot away from the bench. And do you have faith that a pair of freshman QBs will perform in ACC play?

Now they get the Ravens, and are nearly a double digit home underdog. Baltimore enters off a huge win over KC. A win is a win, but they got the gift fumble. Also, this defense is like a wet paper bag holding a rock. Way too many points and that back-door is wide open. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS

Taking the CHIEFS. I believe KC is now on something like an 0-10 ATS run. 1-11-1 ATS if you want to go back a little further. Tough one last week. I had KC -2.5 and still think I had the right side. Chiefs have been playing down and down and down to their opponents. I think Andy Reid doesn't call the dogs off today. He has a super QB. No way he is giving the ball to a RB with the game on the line ever again. They are in off a loss where the defense was absolutely horrible. Now they get Herbert. Kid was the spot starter after Tyrod Taylor was stabbed in the lung! Ok. They don't know much about the kid, close game. Then it was a Week 17 game. Yeah. KC was really invested in that game before the playoffs begin. Now they have a year of tape. They are off a bad game. They have seen the Charger score 20 and 17 points with their new coaching staff. If ever Andy Reid was to 'release the hounds', it is right now. KC should score 40 today. 5* Best Bet KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

And we will go big here vs Nebraska. Now. I had Oklahoma last week in what I thought would be an absolute blow-out. Far from it. In fact, it was a tough pill to swallow if you are a Nebraska fan. Missing 2 FGs and a PAT - a 23-16 loss. Yikes. Just a total flat spot. I mean really. You are facing the Sooners, old-school Big 8 Rival when you guys were always Top 5 teams. Now you have to get off the mat and get pumped to play Michigan State. I don't see it. I think their coach is on the way out. I don't think they will be able to contain this MSU run game. I think their own run game is their QB running for his life. Spartans should win this one by at least 2 TDs. 10* Money Bomb MICHIGAN STATE

Taking STANFORD here. So we roared with Stanford after their Game 1 debacle vs Kansas State and were rewarded with a double digit dog outright winner. We did fade them last week laying a big road number to Vandy. But, to my surprise, there was no let down and Stanford took care of business. This line has gone up a point since the opener. I guess people think UCLA is 'due' to win since they were upset last week. Well, if they were in a dog roll or shorter favorites, maybe I would consider it. Bu, the Bruins are 1-6-1 ATS last 8 in this series and just 3-8 ATS last 11 trips to Stanford. Last year was a wild 48-47 Stanford OT win. Stanford did lead 20-3 at the half. UCLA took a 34-20 4thQ lead before the Tree tied things up. I don't know if gets that crazy tonight, but I will grab any points with the home team. 4* Money Maker STANFORD

Good news is San Jose isn't built like. Better news is they get them here at home with Spartans coming in from Hawaii. That is a long haul. Clear body clock edge for the home team. Now the 'let down' factor might be in play but not a lot. San Jose also in off a big road win. Any road win is big for them. Coming into the season, WMU was suppose to contend for the MAC Title. Knocking off a so-so Pitt team is not that far fetched. I liked this guys coming into the year, will take them laying the short number at home. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN

Their QB to no ones surprise who knows a Sonny Dykes offense, has 16 TD passes through 3 games. But this is a step up. You knocked off big brother last time.

Now, laying a big chunk to an undefeated on the road. After you just got stymied at home and couldn't do anything offensively? No way. I think this line is a touchdown to high. I won't be shocked one bit if the Aggies win this one outright. These guys are a live dog. They have gone on the road as dogs and won at Washington State and Air Force. Boise whipped a bad UTEP team. I had them against UCF for a miracle cover. Again. Coaching problems. My guy on Utah State loves the dog role and is hungry. 4* Money Maker UTAH STATE

Not much hotel space after the Hurricane roared through town. 35-7 at the half and you're shocked they got 7. That's a tough schedule spot. But are home now, comfy in our surroundings. FIU comes in for a long road trip. A team off back to back losses - lost at home to Texas State and then went to Texas for Texas Tech to rough them up, 54-21.

Ohio is an absolute dumpster fire right now. Coming into the season, these guys were poised to be one of the top teams in the MAC. Well - their long time HC abruptly hangs it up, and talent or not, the new guy can't get out of his own way. The players are just responding and maybe the guy standing next to the other guy wasn't the right choice to run the program. Wildcats were down 30-7 at half and rallied to a 30-23 loss. Turnovers hurt. Now they get a taste a victory vs a team that lost at home to Duquesne 28-26, as 28.5 favorites! Duquesne by the way, after trailing TCU 35-0 at the half, talked the Horned Frogs into playing 12 minute 3rd + 4th quarters. Ohio is a mess. If Northwestern doesn't win this by 20 here at home, they will be getting into the dumpster with the Bobcats. 8* Sure Shot NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS

But the Chargers escape with a win- albeit vs a backup QB as Fitzmagic got hurt. Dak is much better than those guys, and the Cowboys offense is electric. What we need for the outright win here is for the coach to stop with his bonehead decision making. A lot of times I just go ML on games like this, but Dallas is Dallas.

The defense is good. We knew that. And now it gets to face a rookie QB. Did we see the Jets offense last Sunday? I won't be shocked if this game gets to 6 or 7. I think people will be hammering Patriots off a loss. In this spot, I think it is warranted. I would say, if NE was in off beating Miami, maybe I would think of grabbing the home dogs.

I will be grabbing some ML here also. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS

Taking the BILLS. This line is going to move to 7 or more. Short of our QB not playing, Buffalo should put up a nice 30+ here over the Steelers. Pre-season is one thing. And I had Pitt a couple times there. But regular season - hello. Big Ben farewell tour - rebuilt OL. Shaky defense. Not buying it. Not here. Bills and their QB out with a lot to prove. Taking care of the Steelers by double digits should be a nice start to the season. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS

Going OVER the total. So we have New QB facing Old Team. And Old Team with New QB who is the new face of the franchise. Safe to say, both guys with something to prove. Both guys with decent talent and help around them. A pair of so so defenses. We have HCs who want to get off to good quick starts. I don't see how this game doesn't get into the 50s. 4* Total Money OVER Jets/ Panthers

Taking the FALCONS. If you watched any of the Mid Day Money August previews shows, you had to know we were coming in on Atlanta. I went over their 4-12 record - We know about that crazy Dallas loss. But there were a couple more they let slip away. Easily could have been anywhere from 7-9 to 10-6. The offense should be fine. The defense can only get better. Back to Philly. Hurts, 1-5 in his games last year. You really think this kid is coming into the dome, with fans, and taking care of business? I don't. And if he does. Then hats off to him. I think this is going to be a 34-10 type of game. I have no doubts Falcons put up 30+ here. I would be on the over but not sure that the Eagles help the cause. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

Going UNDER the total. This is pretty simple for me. I do not know what to expect out of Burrow. Kid got hurt last year. Are they going to let him stand back here and take a pounding? Minny had been a pretty good defensive club before the wheels came off last year. I think a refocus to that is in the works. We saw nothing out of the offense in August. I think it is safe to assume that Cook and the run game will be the key to it. So - more running. More defense. A HC in Cincy who I think is in over his head. Give me the under. 4* Total Money UNDER Minny/ Cincy

Taking the NINERS. This is probably my favorite game of the week. I am not rushing out my big Top 10* Money Bombs in week one. I know some guys come out with GOWs or GOYs out of the gate, but I will go Best Bet here. Still Week 1. Anything is possible. But San Fran is a good team. I like the defense. Like the coach. The offense is good. We have an entire new regime in Detroit. A QB who this defense knows. A QB with less talent than he had when he faced this defense. If SF doesn't win by 2 touch downs, I'll be shocked. A double digit win should in the making. 5* Best Bet SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Laying the wood here with ARIZONA STATE. Real sloppy last week in their opener. I expect a crisp game here. UNLV is bad. Miracle that game even went to OT, but some bad play calling by Eastern Washington and taking their foot off the gas made that a game. Will also lay 20 in the first half if I have to. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA STATE

Taking UTAH. Annoyed that I didn't grab the 6 or even 6.5 when I had a chance on Sunday. Do I think it will come down to a point. Heck no. You know me by know. If I am on a small dog, I think we are winning outright. If I am on a favorite like this, only thing going through my head is double digit blow-out. If you watched the Mid Day Money Show, you know that I like the Utes to win the PAC 12. Nothing is changing that. Love the coach. Love the defense. The team is good. Big rivalry here. For sure. People think, oh man BYU, home dog. Zach Wilson .. Yeah. Their QB is now in the NFL and their defense has just 4 starters back and the offense loses a Top NFL draft pick. What can go wrong? I know the Cougars are usually a solid club. But our guy Whittingham has a deep, experienced team back ( 10 Off 9 Def). This guy is the most underrated coach in CFB. There is a reason they are favored basically by a TD all over the place right now. They are that good. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES

Taking TEXAS. Jumping on this guy before the line goes up. We had Rice getting 20 and they somehow blew that game. As I said in that write up - Razorbacks were on a 5-27 SU run. And now you are telling me they can stay this close to Texas. I am not huge Longhorns guy. I thought that ULL was a trendy dog, but still don't want to bed on a new HC in Game 1. They did look good though. Again. This will go up at least 2 points. Arkansas will take a step forward in year 2 of HC Pittman, but I think there is still a talent gap here. Might be a low hanging fruit game, but we are on the road favorites today. 4* Money Maker TEXAS LONGHORNS

Go make a list of teams that beat Alabama in Week 1, or any weeks for that matter. And then go to the score-card and see some of these Tide scores. No shame in that loss.

Going OVER the total. Both teams in off of big wins over cupcakes. This is really all about Nebraska for me. We know Buffalo is going to want to come out with everything in the playbook playing a Big 10 school. But the Cornhuskers even in their sloppy week 1 show us they can score while being bad on offense and, can give up points to guys right off the bench with their defense. We also have the Sooners on deck for Nebraska. An old-school Big 8 rivalry game. So I think Buffalo will be able to get to about 30 today. I am surprised this line isn't higher. I think we see a game in the 60s. 4* Total Money OVER Buffalo/ Nebraska

Going UNDER the total. Man. I clearly remember I had Oklahoma State big last year in this exact same spot. It was a 16-7 grinder. Maybe we choke it up to the Covid season and teams not getting enough practice in or whatever. That being said, I think we get something like that today. Now. I am not saying it will be 23 points scored, but I can see it staying under 50. Both teams last week were terrible. I am not saying we rush to conclusions after 1 games. But, we see Tulsa lose as a 20pt fave 19-17 to Cal Davis. Oklahoma State, as a 33pt favorite, goes up 20-0 and 20-3 at the half. It ends a 23-16 win, but when you lose a QB, these things happen.

Taking ECU. I didn't pull the trigger on these guys last as they were getting a whole lotta love. And promptly laid an egg. We had line movement early on this game and it looks to be settled. For me. When I see a SEC team laying this kind of number, I have to take the dog just on principle. Pirates are not as bad as they looked last week. And the Gamecocks, well safe to say that getting a blocked punt, 2 INTs, it helps the cause. Hey. They do that here on the road, they deserve to win. 4* Money Maker ECU
