It’s laborious to consider we’re already midway via September.
Our greatest bets (6-1 YTD) are off to a powerful begin, and I’m rolling with 5 performs over the subsequent few days. This area isn’t the place for 1,000,000 picks or five-team parlays, both. These are the video games I really like probably the most.
Let’s go to work with odds courtesy of FOX Bet.
Liberty Flames at Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Lay this quantity earlier than it will get to 17.
Wake quarterback Sam Hartman returned final week and shredded Vanderbilt to the tune of 300 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. I’m properly conscious that Vanderbilt isn't any juggernaut, however neither is Liberty.
The Demon Deacons are greater, sooner and stronger everywhere in the soccer subject, and that is a type of video games that might get ugly in a rush for the Flames. I believe Hartman and Co. are up by two or three touchdowns at halftime and absolutely anticipate them to maintain their foot on the fuel.
Wake wants to search out its rhythm earlier than internet hosting Clemson subsequent week.
PICK: Wake Forest (-16.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 16.5 points
Toledo Rockets at Ohio State Buckeyes
Better of luck to Toledo’s protection this Saturday.
Ohio State’s offense is beginning to really feel the interior warmth after solely scoring 21 factors towards Notre Dame and 45 towards lowly Arkansas State, a sport by which the Buckeyes have been favored by 44.5 and barely gained by 30.
OSU is anticipated to get future NFL first-round receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba again, which is unhealthy information for a Toledo secondary that was already manner overmatched. C.J. Stroud ought to have a subject day on the Horseshoe.
I just like the Buckeyes to get to 50 by themselves.
PICK: Over 61.5 points scored by both teams combined at FOX Bet
Miami Hurricanes at Texas A&M Aggies
It’s sounding just like the Haynes King period is over in Faculty Station.
Anticipate LSU switch Max Johnson to be QB1 for Jimbo Fisher’s membership this Saturday, a call that in all probability ought to’ve taken place an entire lot sooner. The Aggies have all of the expertise on this planet, and now they've a quarterback that’ll get the playmakers the ball and get the hell out of the way in which.
In the meantime, Miami lastly will get its first actual check of the season after breezing by Bethune-Cookman and Southern Miss. It’s unattainable to gauge how good the Hurricanes are proper now, and I’m prepared to go towards them in a tricky spot.
Mario Cristobal will construct a monster down on South Seashore, however I believe it’ll take time earlier than the ‘Canes are able to win the large ones on the highway.
PICK: Texas A&M (-6 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 6 points
New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers
The betting public is lining up to guess Mitch Trubisky towards Invoice Belichick.
Wild, huh?
Clearly, it’s about a lot greater than these two, however I really like this Patriots' protection towards a really vanilla Steelers offense that was outgained and out possessed towards the Bengals. Trubisky is nothing particular, and Najee Harris is nowhere close to 100% after getting dinged up final Sunday.
It’s troublesome to disregard the reverse line motion towards the Steelers. Most American sportsbooks are reporting extra bets on Pittsburgh, but a number of Las Vegas bookmakers advised me their sharpest gamers guess New England -1/-1.5.
I’ll gladly guess towards Pittsburgh’s protection with out T.J. Watt.
PICK: Patriots (-130 ML at FOX Bet) to win straight up
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints
The betting line tells a narrative on this one.
Tampa opened as a 3.5-point highway favourite, however the line crossed via 3 by Wednesday afternoon. That’s the final word signal of respect for an underdog that has a ton of sustained success towards Tom Brady as of late.
Dennis Allen’s protection is 4-0 towards Brady within the common season since he grew to become a Buccaneer, and I like that pattern to proceed. The Saints’ capability to assault Brady and a weakened offensive line up the center is very large.
Don’t sleep on the New Orleans offense, both. Jameis Winston was placing up severe numbers earlier than his ACL damage final October, and the Saints are even deeper with a wholesome Michael Thomas and rookie wideout Chris Olave.
PICK: Saints (+2.5 at FOX Bet) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points (or win straight up)
