6-Unit Play. Take #379 Georgia +4 over Notre Dame (Saturday, September 9th at 7:30 p.m.)
The wrong team is favored in this matchup. UGA has the better players and the better coaching staff. Eason is out but Fromm is more than capable and I look for Georgia to roll into Notre Dame and come home with a victory.
Kirby Smart is having to overcome some recruiting deficiencies from the Mark Richt era. An entire class was wasted and that is tough on any program, especially one in the SEC. Having said that, this team is still loaded with athletes and the lines of scrimmages are finally getting better and better. Don't get me wrong, this team is still a year or two away from being a dominant team but they are more than capable of winning against a Notre Dame team that can't get out of its own way. In fact, I'm shocked they aren't the favorite in this matchup and I look for this line to move more and more as game time approaches.
Fromm is a very good quarterback and he faced some really good competition in high school. He performed admirably last week against App State after Eason got hurt, and I look for him to be even better this week after a week of preparation with the starting offense. UGA has two of the best running backs in the country and they have an offensive line that is better than expected. They have the ability to run the football or beat you in the passing game. This offense will produce against Notre Dame and I don't see Fromm turning the ball over as I look for a good game plan from the coaching staff.
Notre Dame is overrated ... again. They are coming off of an atrocious season and yet they are 4-point favorites over an SEC program that is on the rise. Wimbush is a dual threat quarterback and he had good success against Temple last week. This week, he faces a defense loaded with athletes that can run. He is no longer playing against 2-star overachievers, he is now playing against 4 and 5-star blue chip recruits that are motivated. There's a big difference.
I look for Georgia to control the game with the running game and I look for them to make enough plays in the passing game to keep the Notre Dame defense honest. UGA has the better offense and the better defense. Notre Dame is at home -- that's their only advantage. UGA wins this one outright but we will gladly take the points.
Take Georgia
3-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 63.5 Hawaii at UCLA (Saturday, September 9th at 5:00 p.m.)
UCLA showed what they could do offensively last week in an incredible come from behind victory against Texas A&M. Their offense is loaded with talent and I simply don't see them having a let down. They get to face one of the worst defenses in all of college football. Hawaii doesn't play defense. Period. However, Hawaii does play offense and they have improved from last season. They already put up 79 points in their first two games this season -- albeit against lesser competition. They are facing a much tougher defense but I still look for them to score some points, even if it comes in garbage time. It is not out of the realm of possibility for UCLA to cover this total on their own. They can score points in bunches and Hawaii sucks on defense. I certainly see UCLA getting to 45 points easily and Hawaii can be counted on for 20 points or more. I look for this one to sail over the total fairly easily.
Take Over

NCAAF - Minnesota vs Oregon State
3* Minnesota+2.5 (-110)
Minnesota is the right side here. The Gophers aren't flashy. But they don't need to be here. They will control the trenches and dominate ball possession with a solid ground game featuring Rodney Smith running behind a strong offensive line. Oregon State has yet to show it can stop the run. The Beavers were pushed around by Colorado State and by Portland State, a FCS school. Oregon State's 58-27 opening week loss to Colorado State looks even worse with the Rams losing to Colorado, 17-3, last week. Oregon State was fortunate to beat Portland State winning, 35-32, as a 26 1/2-point home favorite. Portland State ran for nearly 300 yards against Oregon State. Minnesota's P.J. Fleck is an upper tier coach. He's sharp enough to play the cards he's dealt with - and that's to grind. That formula sets up well for this matchup. The Gophers don't have to do anything fancy here. Oregon State's home field advantage is reduced, too, for this game because school isn't in session yet and there is an air quality warning due to forest fires in the area that could lower attendance.

Indiana vs Virginia
2* OVER 56 (-110)
Indiana is Indiana. The Hooisers score a lot - and they give up a lot. That was the case again in their opener, a 49-21 loss to Ohio State.
Three quick takeaways from that game. The first, of course, is that Ohio State is an absolute powerhouse. In the argument for best team in the country. But also the Hooisers played at an extremely fast tempo and Simmie Cobbs showed his superstar potential. Cobb was hurt in the second game last season and missed the rest of the year. The former 1,000-yard receiver showed his great talent against Ohio State catching 11 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. Cobb has an experienced quarterback in Richard Lagow, who threw for 19 touchdowns last year. Now the Hoosiers drop down to Virginia whose defense can't compare to the Buckeyes. The Cavaliers have a solid quarterback, too, in Kurt Benkert. Look for Virginia's offense to be much improved in the second season under Bronco Mendenhall. The key here is tempo with both teams playing fast.

Middle Tennessee State vs Syracuse
2* UNDER 76 (-110)
A lot has to go right for this total to go above this high number. While I do think Middle Tennessee State quarterback Brent Stockstill and Syracuse QB Eric Dungey will put up good numbers, it won't add up enough to go Over. Syracuse displayed some good defense in its 50-7 victory against Central Connecticut last week. Granted that was inferior competition. But I do think the Orange has improved defensively. Middle Tennessee State had problems protected Stockstill in a 28-6 loss to Vanderbilt last week. The Orange also must prove it can protect Dungey now that they are stepping up in class.
Sep 09 '17, 4:30 PM
Nebraska vs Oregon
2* OVER 69 (-115)
I'm expecting each of these teams to hit the 40-point barrier. Both teams are all about offense and have weak defenses. Oregon gave up 21 points in the first half to Southern Utah in a 77-21 victory last week. Tre Bryant rushed for 192 yards in Nebraska's 43-36 victory against Arkansas State last week.
Sep 09 '17, 7:00 PM
UNLV vs Idaho
2* UNLV +7 (-130)
UNLV got caught looking ahead to this revenge matchup and was shocked 43-40 by Howard, an FCS school, last week. The Rebels were a 45 1/2-point favorite in that game making them the largest favorite ever to lose. The Rebels shouldn't have been that big of a favorite in hindsight. But they also shouldn't be this much of an underdog. UNLV has a very good offense. Rebel coach Tony Sanchez has done a good job recruiting. The Rebels were tabbed by many to earn a bowl spot. Now they need to win this game. They have been sick of hearing all week about their shocking loss to Howard. Idaho wasn't as good as its 9-4 record of a year ago. The Vandals have a rebuilt offensive line and their special teams aren't as dangerous. Idaho usually starts the season slow, too, covering only two of its last 11 September games.
