NCAAF - Rice vs Stanford

3* OVER 50½ -110




Stanford lost a lot of defensive talent from last year, but still has more than enough offense to put up big numbers against one of the worst defenses in the country. Rice surrendered more than 37 points per game last season and gave up the sixth-most yards in the country. Opponents averaged a whopping 7.4 yards per play versus the Owls. The Owls are underrated offensively, though, thanks to a strong offensive line. The Cardinal are breaking in new safeties and minus star pass rusher Solomon Thomas. Stanford doesn't have dynamic Christian McCaffrey any more, but are deep at running back and its offensive line is healthy.

NACCF - Oregon State vs Colorado State

2* Colorado State -3½ -115



The class difference is above the spread in this matchup. The Rams are a touchdown better than Oregon State especially playing at home. The Rams averaged 35.3 points a game last season. The Beavers don't have the defense to slow down Colorado State and their offense isn't balanced because of a weak passing attack. Jake Luton, a JC transfer, is untested and faced with a thin and inexperienced wide receiving group. Colorado State QB Nick Stevens can be highly effective against a vulnerable Oregon State secondary. The Rams played their best ball during the second half of last season averaging more than 46 points a game during their last six games. The Beavers have yet to win a road game in two years under Gary Anderson losing by an average of more than three touchdowns. Note, too, the Rams are 14-4-1 ATS during their last 19 non-conference games.

4 Unit Play. Take #297 Over 51 Rice at Stanford (10:00p.m., Saturday August 26)
These two teams last season ended the year trending the OVER and last year these two teams played each other and Stanford won 41-17 and that game flew OVER. Saturday night in Sydney, Australia I see the Stanford Cardinals offense throwing up a huge number on the scoreboard and wouldn't shock me to see the Cardinals hit the half-century mark against the Rice defense. All summer long the Rice Owls told the media that their offense will be more potent then last year and I'm not saying that Rice will score at will against the Cardinals defense but I do see them scoring around 14 points or more. Both teams will run the ball a lot in this game but I see the Cardinals opening up the throwing game a bit and that will provide us some early points before halftime and again if I can get the Owls to score 14 points or more this game flies OVER. Stanford last 5 neutral site games 4 of them have gone OVER and the Rice Owls are 6-2 O/U in their last 8 non-conference games.

Fezzik | CFB Total Sat, 08/26/17 - 10:00 PM 298 Stanford / 297 Rice Over 50.5 Southpoint double-dime bet

Analysis:
I look towards "unders" week1 in close games, but blowouts like this are a different story. Stanford is going to pu t up 40+ on Rice here, if they keep Rice out of the end Zone we will lose.

With the game in Australia, have to like the idea that Rice will be playing hard to score for 60 minutes, and Stanford when up likely to give up a back door score.

43-14. OVER

7-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 61.5 Hawaii at UMASS (Saturday, August 26th at 6:00 p.m.)

These two teams played late in the year last season and it was Hawaii winning a high scoring game by a final score of 46-40. I'm not sure this game gets to 86 points but I certainly believe it will come close.

The passing attack of UMASS should give an inexperienced Hawaii secondary fits. The Minutemen averaged over 250 yards per game passing last season and they threw for 342 yards against Hawaii in the 6-point loss. They have two capable quarterbacks and a tight end that could be an NFL pass catcher one day. Adam Breneman will be a big target for either quarterback and he will be a matchup nightmare for the Hawaii defense. Andy Isabella caught 7 balls for 134 yards and a touchdown against Hawaii last year so the defense won't be able to just focus on Breneman. I look for this UMASS offense to score points in bunches against the inexperienced Hawaii secondary.

Neither of these teams have a great defense and both have struggled against the pass. Optimism always reigns supreme in the offseason but the truth is: these two defenses won't be very good again this season.

Hawaii's offense is on the rise. Dru Brown had a very good game against UMASS last season throwing for 311 yards and 5 touchdowns. The offense also returns Saint Juste who rushed for 122 yards and 1 touchdown on just 14 carries in the game last season. In addition, two of the top three receivers return as well.

I expect this game to be very similar to last year's game in the scoring category. Points will be scored in bunches and I look for this game to sail over the total fairly easily and perhaps as early as the third quarter.

Take Over

3-Unit Play. Take #268 Pittsburgh -6 over Indy (Saturday, August 26th at 7:30 p.m.)

[golden contender]

Saturday card has the 100% NFL Preseason Play of the year that headlines a powerful NFLX Card. The is a big 5* College Football Play and MLB. NFL Comp play below.

The NFL Comp Play for Saturday is on Oakland plus the 3 points on Saturday over Dallas at 8:00 eastern. The Raiders have covered 9 of 11 on the road and 8 of 11 on Field turf. Dallas has failed to cover 4 straight in their 3rd Preseason game. The Raiders fit a nice game 3 system that plays on teams in game 3 off back to back losses as a favorite and lost game 1 by 10 or less vs an opponent that is off a win. This system has cashed 14 of 19. Not as strong as some of our other plays tonight but solid none the less. The Raiders should bounce back here and are a live dog. On Saturday the Preseason 100% Game of the year is up and part of a solid football card that has NFLX and a 5* College Football Side. There is also MLB and the Travers Stakes. Message to jump on. Football combined is ranked #1 on Multiple leader boards the past 3 years. For the NFLX Free pick. Take the points with the Oakland Raiders. GC

7-Unit Play. Take #291 Oregon State (+4) over Colorado State (2:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 26)


This play really comes down to one thing. Well, that's not true; there are several reasons to love the Beavers in this one. But let's start with the biggest: I think Gary Andersen is an excellent football coach. You don't turn a program like Utah State into a Mountain West contender if you're not a great coach. You don't get hired at a place like Wisconsin, and then lead them to 20 wins in two seasons if you're not a great coach. Andersen knows what he's doing. And after two ugly years in Corvallis I think that Andersen will have a vastly improved team this year. They won't be able to contend in the toughest division in college football (Pac-12 North). But they are going to be much more competitive and much better all around this year. And I think it starts with a win here.


The Beavers have 15 starters back from last year's squad and that team closed the season with impressive wins over Arizona and Oregon. OSU also played tough against very good Utah, Washington State and Minnesota teams. They lost those three games by an average of just fewer than six points per. So I think that after a full offseason of game planning for this mid-tier Mountain West team the Beavers will be ready.


Colorado State is opening a new stadium and they have a much bigger game next week against Colorado in Denver. How much attention are they really giving this one against a Pac-12 bottom feeder? The Rams got blasted 44-7 by the Buffs last year and also lost at Minnesota. In 2015 they also lost to Minnesota and Colorado, making Mike Bobo 0-4 against teams from power conferences in his two years. CSU has overachieved each of Bobo's two seasons. But last year's team was not nearly as good as they seemed. They gave up 61 points and got stomped by Idaho in their bowl game. Their biggest win was against an SDSU team that was resting everyone before the MWC Title Game the next week. Beyond that Colorado State beat teams like UT-SA, Northern Colorado, Utah State, UNLV and Fresno State. And all but the UNLV game were at home! The Rams have beaten bad teams in Bobo's two years at the helm; and that's really it. So I don't know why they are such a big public favorite in this one against a team with Pac-12 talent.


Andersen has always preached a tough, physical, run-first philosophy. And I think it is easy to ease into the season by pounding people on the ground than it is to come out and sling it around. I think Oregon State can control the line of scrimmage, keep CSU off the field a bit, and not allow the Rams to get into a rhythm offensively. I think that this game will come down to the fourth quarter. But I also think that Oregon State is going to win outright and get an upset. I have this one at 33-30 for the road team.
