Chris Jordan,
My free play in college football on Saturday will be on Army, laying the big number to Louisiana-Monroe.
I gave you the Black Knights last weekend as a 600♦ winner, and they routed Middle Tennessee State.
This week I like something else better, but I'm backing Army once again in their second-straight home game.
A quick reminder of the home-stadium edge, as the Black Knights are on an 18-2 run inside Michie Stadium in West Point, N.Y., dating back to the 2016 season. And seeing how well they played there Saturday, with that talented offensive line and the deadly triple option, no reason to ignore it this week.
Keep in mind, just 10 days prior to ULM's season opener at Army, assistant head coach and defensive coordinator Mike Collins resigned from his position. That's not going to help much. Sure, the system is in place, and there are coaches around who have been there. But that's a key coach in that system.
And with Army bullying the Warhawks around in the trenches, it'll open things up and soften UL Monroe's defensive front long enough to open gaps and create big plays.
Junior Christian Anderson stays at quarterback, in place of Jabari Laws, who led this unit last season but is still recovering from an injury. It's Anderson's offense for now, and he can run and throw behind that offensive line.
On the other side, making things a bit easier for us, Army has some coaches on its staff that coached against the Warhawks a year ago from two different schools. UL Monroe doesn't have a lot to challenge Army with offensively, and shouldn't be too much of a threat as the game wears on.
Great spot for Army to open things up and register another blowout win.

My free college football winner for Saturday is on the Kansas State Wildcats, laying the -10 points to the Arkansas State Red Wolves. I know there's a sense to some analysts who believe teams with one game under the belt is an advantage, but in this case I think it favors the experienced Wildcats.
Kansas State returns 47 lettermen - including 12 starters - from a team that went 8-5 last season. Eight of those players earned All-Big 12 honors last season, including first-team selections Wyatt Hubert (DE), Nick Lenners (FB/TE) and Joshua Youngblood (KR). And when you have a built-in chemistry in that film room, you know who has what assignments and who needs to step up when you see something in particular in an opponent. Last week's game has allowed the Wildcats a chance to study film, and prepare for this week.
I'm familiar with the fact Arkansas State has some personnel back on the defensive side of the ball, but Kansas State has senior quarterback Skylar Thompson back, and he has 27 career starts to his credit. He is one of just four quarterbacks in school history to throw for 4,000 career yards and rush for 1,000 career yards, but - and this is a huge but - he is the only one to do so prior to entering his senior campaign. This kid is special, and has a good chance to be playing on Sundays in 2021. He'll be joined in the backfield by senior Harry Trotter, while seven of the top nine pass catchers from a year ago are back, including sophomore Malik Knowles, who ranked second on the team in catches, yards and touchdowns.
Hubert will pace the defense, as he did last season, looking to build on his 11.5 career sacks. It's all upperclassmen on the defensive front, and when applying pressure to force errant passes, the secondary is bolstered by returning safeties Jahron McPherson and Wayne Jones.
I'm sorry, but Kansas State is going to be fully prepared for this blowout, as Arkansas State is walking into a mine field after exposing its strengths and weaknesses last week.

Race of the Week: Queen's Plate at Woodbine
September 10, 2020 | By Jeremy Plonk
$1 MILLION QUEEN'S PLATE AT WOODBINE
Saturday, September 12, 2020
The Lead:
One week after the 146th Kentucky Derby comes Canada's counter in the 161st edition of the Queen's Plate. The $1 million showcase for 3-year-olds foaled in Canada was delayed this year more than two months from its normal spot on the calendar, but has attracted its capacity field of 14 over the Tapeta. It's the kickoff leg to the 3-surface Triple Crown north of the border, which includes the Prince of Wales on dirt at Fort Erie and Woodbine's Breeders Stakes on turf.
Field Depth:
CLAYTON won the key prep in the Plate Trial, while CURLIN'S VOYAGE and MERVILLEUX exit a 1-3 finish in the Woodbine Oaks for fillies. HALO AGAIN and DOTTED LINE are 2-time local stakes winners. The nine others are all looking for their first stakes victories.
Pace:
Over 1-1/4 miles on the synthetic, you don't expect a fast pace. DOTTED LINE set a controlled tempo in the Plate Trial. TECUMSEH'S WAR has some early foot, and from post 14 may be used a bit more early to clear rivals to his inside in the run through the stretch the first time. HALO AGAIN and CLAYTON should be forward, but neither has ever led early. This should be a very modest pace and favor those within the first flight.
Our Eyes:
The obvious two key race replays to study are the Plate Trial and the Woodbine Oaks. Let's start there.
In the Plate Trial, the trio of DOTTED LINE, HALO AGAIN and CLAYTON were within 3 lengths of one another the entire trip leading a short, 6-horse field. This lineup is deeper in numbers, but it might not look much different up front. By the quarter-pole, they were 3 across the track with 3-5 favorite CLAYTON looming widest from his former stalking position. Everyone expected the chalk to storm by, but his challengers didn't submit. Did CLAYTON fail to punch them out, or did they come to the fight prepared? The BRIS late pace figures indicate the latter. CLAYTON forged by for the victory and earned a very good 99 fig for 1-1/8 miles, while HALO AGAIN (96) and DOTTED LINE (95) didn't wilt. The come-home fourth quarter in 24.20 and final furlong in 12.68 were both solid (36.88 final 3 furlongs). CLAYTON galloped out best, while DOTTED LINE ran on decently through the wire. HALO AGAIN did not gallop out on par with the other pair and that might be a sign he's more vulnerable with the additional trip. On pedigree, CLAYTON absolutely looks the best prospect for the distance among these 3 runners.
The same-day Woodbine Oaks, won by CURLIN'S VOYAGE, actually went nearly 3 lengths faster (1:50.04 vs. 1:50.61) than the Plate Trial. But these 2 races were opposites in terms of pace. The slow early-faster late Plate Trial was followed by a fast-early, slower-late Woodbine Oaks. The Oaks took 25.70 for the fourth quarter and then 13.13 the final furlong. That's 38.83 over the final three furlongs, nearly 2 full seconds slower coming home than the Plate Trial. The BRIS late pace figure for CURLIN'S VOYAGE was only 84, a whopping 15 points lighter than CLAYTON. If the Queen's Plate had a fast pace signed on, you could argue that CURLIN'S VOYAGE would be the horse to beat. But pace dynamics don't work in her favor on paper in Saturday's showcase. Oaks third-place finisher MERVEILLEUX will have to stay much closer to the pace than she did Aug. 15, but her previous races indicate she's much more likely to be in the first half of the field than the latter half early on in this situation. Also note MERVEILLEUX blew past CURLIN'S VOYAGE just a few yards past the wire and galloped out decidedly stronger. I prefer MERVEILLEUX of the fillies, and note the Oaks has produced Plate winners Wonder Gadot (2018), Holy Helena (2017), Lexie Lou (2014), Inglorious (2011) and Dancethruthedawn (2001) in this millennium.
Among the others rising in class, TECUMSEH'S WAR and MIGHTY HEART exit a 2-3 finish in an open-company allowance race and interest most. But neither came home fast in that 1-1/8 miles test, nor does either have a pedigree that begs for the mile and one-quarter trip. From the extreme 13 and 14 posts, their challenge appears great.
Most Certain Exotics Contender: CLAYTON is 4-for-4 in the exacta lifetime and has been consistent on the track and by the numbers.
Best Longshot Exotics Contender: The maiden BELICHICK easily has the best long-distance pedigree in the field and will be taking on restricted company for the first time. The $300,000 son of Lemon Drop Kid finished second and third as the beaten favorite vs. open maidens. Plate-winning trainer Josie Carroll conditions the stablemate to the more fancied CURLIN'S VOYAGE.
Sending it in ($100 bankroll): $20 exacta CLAYTON with MERVEILLEUX ($20). $10 trifecta part-wheel CLAYTON with MERVEILLEUX and BELICHICK with MERVEILLEUX, BELICHICK, CURLIN'S VOYAGE, DOTTED LINE and HALO AGAIN ($80).

Saturday, September 12: Kentucky Downs Late Pick 4 Ticket
September 10, 2020 | By Dustin Fabian
It’s a rare weekend where the Southern California tracks and New York Racing Association tracks are both on a break, so primary focus for horseplayer this weekend is on Kentucky Downs and Woodbine.
Kentucky Downs has five stakes races on Saturday, headlined by the Grade 3 $1,000,000 Calumet Farm Kentucky Turf Cup and the Grade 3 $500,000 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf. Both their Pick 5 and Pick 4 feature 14% takeout and massive pools are expected this weekend.
Woodbine’s card is headlined by the $1,000,000 Queen’s Plate – Canada’s equivalent of the Kentucky Derby – and my colleague, Jeremy Plonk is ‘all in’ on that race. He made it this week’s Xpressbet Race of the Week and his analysis and $100 Wagering Strategy are available free.
Here is my take on Kentucky Downs’ Late Pick 4 on Saturday. Got a little unlucky last week with Newspaperofrecord losing at Churchill and rendering our Pick 4 useless in the first leg. Let’s hope for more luck this time around.
Race 8 (4:59PM ET) // Grade 3 Kentucky Downs Ladies Sprint // 6 1/2 Furlongs (Turf)
I’ll start my ticket with a three-pronged approach here as #8 GOT STORMY (2/1) took a gigantic step back to her top form in her last race in the G1 Fourstardave at Saratoga. Can we trust her in this race? I think the jury is still out and I’ll also use #11 KIMARI (4/1) and #7 CARIBA (8/1) on my ticket. CARIBA is a big price but she’s coming into top form for Christophe Clement and can be a big player if GOT STORMY brings her B-game. Same is true for #9 INTO MYSTIC (6/1). She ran a monster race at Ellis Park on August 2 and is in the best form of her life.
Race 9 (5:32PM ET) // Juvenile Turf Sprint Stakes // 6 1/2 Furlongs (Turf)
Wesley Ward is a wizard in races like these and he’s got two entered here - #9 OUTADORE (2/1) and #10 FAUCI (5/2). Each ran well at Saratoga and both merit being on the ticket. #6 BODENHEIMER (6/1) ran a gigantic turf race when he broke his maiden at Canterbury but there’s a lot of speed signed on and these horses that are extending from 5 1/2 or 6 furlongs to 6 1/2 won’t have it easy. #5 BOSS BEAR (20/1) could be a horse worth having. He lost all hope at the break in his debut but he was well backed that day for Mike Maker and gets another shot here.
Race 10 (6:04PM ET) // Grade 3 Kentucky Turf Cup // 1 1/2 Miles (Turf)
#10 ZULU ALPHA (7/5) won this race last year and is in great form in 2020, having won 3-of-4 races this year including the G1 Pegasus World Cup Turf. If he brings that form back to Kentucky Downs, he should win. The only major threat I see is #12 HEIRARCHY (10/1). He has run huge races in his last two starts and is getting good for trainer Joe Sharp.
Race 11 (6:36PM ET) // Grade 3 Turf Sprint // 6 Furlongs (Turf)
This is probably the most competitive race of the sequence and I’m going to load up my ticket with possible winners. I’ll use #2 STUBBINS (6/1), #3 FRONT RUN THE FED (5/1), #4 TOTALLY BOSS (9/2), #6 KANTHAKA (5/1), #9 IMPRIMIS (8/1), #11 ARCHIDUST (12/1) and #12 BOUND FOR NOWHERE (5/1). That’s a heck of a mouthful and I generally don’t love using seven horses, but this race is that competitive and if I don’t want to miss out in the payout leg.
My Ticket
Race 8: 7, 8, 9, 11
Race 9: 5, 9, 10
Race 10: 10
Race 11: 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12
Ticket Cost: $42.00 for 50-cents
Coastal Carolina at Kansas 9/12/20 - NCAA Football
The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are playing against the Kansas Jayhawks at David Booth Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas. The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers were 55th in total team offense in 2019 and were 85th in total team defense. The Chanticleers are looking forward to showing people that they can play against teams in power conferences. The Kansas Jayhawks were 101st in 2019 in total team offense and 120th in total team defense. The Jayhawks have had some horrible years but will be looking to turn that around with their new head coach, Les Miles.
The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers beat Kansas last year in a low scoring game, 12-7. The Chanticleers finished their 2019 season 5-7. If Coastal Carolina wants to beat Kansas back to back years, they will have to show up ready to play some great defense again. Coastal Carolina is led by junior quarterback, Bryce Carpenter. Carpenter will be ready to show off his arm in the Chanticleer’s debut.
The Kansas Jayhawks will be looking to bounce back after losing to Coastal Carolina last year. The Jayhawks are looking for something to change under new leadership in Les Miles. Miles is now in his second year and is trying to bring the winning culture from LSU to Lawrence, Kansas. The Jayhawks are led by junior running back, Pooka Williams Jr. Williams was a huge part of the Kansas offense last year and he is expected to have an even larger role this year. Williams ran for back to back 1,000-yard seasons and will be ready to be a bigger role in the offense this year.
Recent Betting Trends
The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are 4-2 ATS this year.
The total has gone over in 8 of the Chanticleers last 10 games in September.
The Kansas Jayhawks are 1-5 ATS their last 6 games played in September.
The total has gone over in 7 of the Jayhawk’s last 10 games.
Free NCAAF Pick: Kansas Jayhawks -3.5
In this matchup I like the Kansas Jayhawks to win and cover the spread. The Jayhawks have not been good at all lately, but they were looking like a better team by the end of last year. Most of the Chanticleers starters last year graduated and the inexperience is problem in opening game for 2020. Final score prediction, Kansas Jayhawks win and cover ATS 28-17.
WKU at Louisville 9/12/20 - College Football
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers travel on the road to Cardinal Stadium to take on the Lousiville Cardinals. Western Kentucky won the final four games of last season, kicked off with a decisive road win over SEC opponent Arkansas. They finished their season in the SERVPRO First Responders Bowl with a 23-20 win over Western Michigan finishing 9-4. Louisville finished off a 8-5 season with a 38-28 win over Mississippi State in the Music City Bowl.
Louisville returns dynamic quarterback Micale Cunningham who threw for an impressive 22 touchdown passes to just 5 interceptions after earning the starting job in week 3. Cunningham threw for 2000+ yards while adding in 482 rush yards and 6 touchdowns on the ground. The switch at quarterback was to compliment starting running back Javian Hawkins, as just a freshman Hawkins rushed for 1525 rush yards and 9 touchdowns.
The combination of Cunningham and Hawkins led the Cardinals to the third-best rushing attack in the ACC averaging 212.8 rush yards per game and the 2019 Cardinals averaged 33.1 points per game which was second in the ACC last season.
Western Kentucky will be faced with the daunting task of breaking in a new quarterback without a proper offseason and will be thrown right into the fire with a road trip to a Power 5 opponent. The expected starter for the Hilltoppers is Davis Shanley who saw no action last season. In 2018, Shanley completed 68% of his 141 passes for 942 yards for three touchdowns and two interceptions. Shanley wasn’t necessarily a huge running threat but ran 38 times for 91 yards and a touchdown in 2020.
Louisville was the 109th ranked scoring defense in 2019 allowing over 33 points per game and was burnt all season long by opposing rushing attacks allowing over 200 yards per game on the ground, the 19th worst rush defense in the NCAA last season. Western Kentucky was solid on the defensive end last season allowing 20.1 points per game to rank 22nd in scoring defense.
Recent Betting Trends
Western Kentucky are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games.
Western Kentucky are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Western Kentucky's last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Louisville's last 5 games.
Louisville are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games.
Free NCAAF Pick: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers +11.5
Louisville returns both members of last year’s dynamic backfield but will have to fill holes on the offensive line, most notably replacing first-round left tackle Mekhi Becton. Facing a solid Western Kentucky defense that was 22nd in scoring defense and 33rd in run defense this will not be a layup game in any sense of the word for the Cardinals. However with Western Kentucky sending out a quarterback who hasn’t seen the field in over a year going on the road to a Power 5 opponent, Louisville wins this game. The Hilltoppers defense will hold strong against the dynamic run game of Louisville and they cover the spread. Final score prediction, Louisville wins but fails short cover the spread 31-23.
UTEP at Texas 9/12/20 - NCAA Football
The Texas Longhorns open their season up at home against the UTEP Miners. UTEP opened their season last week with a 24-14 win over Stephen F Austin; the win snapped an 11 game losing streak dating back to last season where UTEP finished 1-11, there only win in week one sneaking out a win over Houston Baptist. Texas had high expectations coming into last season but finished a disappointing 8-5 but capped off their season with a solid 38-10 win over the 11th ranked Utah Utes.
Texas will have similarly high expectations this season with star quarterback Sam Elingher returning for his third season as the Longhorns starter. Ellinger threw for 3,663 yards and 32 touchdowns which ranked him 8th in passing yards and tied for second in passing touchdowns. The senior has also been know to get it done with his legs, rushing for 1145 yards and 23 touchdowns over the last two seasons.
The Longhorns are forced to replace both leading wide receivers including 3rd round draft pick Devin Duvernay who caught 106 passes for 1300 yards and 9 touchdowns last season. Collin Johnson has also moved onto the NFL, he caught 38 passes for 559 yards for 3 touchdowns last year. Without the two main weapons from the Longhorn passing attack, they will look to Brennen Eagles and starting runningback Keaontay Ingram to pick up the slack.
Ingram rushed for 853 yards on an impressive 5.9 yards per carry adding 7 touchdowns on the ground to compliment Ehlinger’s running ability in the backfield. Eagles caught just 32 passes for 522 yards last season but turned that into 6 touchdowns; after years of living in the shadow of Duvernay could be poised for a breakout season.
UTEP starting quarterback Gavin Hardison threw for 212 yards and a touchdown on 17/28 passing. Hardison looked the way of Jacob Cowing a ton in that game, he caught 7 passes for 116 yards in the season opener. Freshman Deion Hankins was the main workhorse out of the backfield getting 17 carries for 113 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Texas was the 65th ranked scoring defense in college football last season giving up 27.5 points per game, granted they were facing some of the best offenses week in and week out in the Big 12. The Longhorn passing defense was one of the worst in college football allowing 292.5 pass yards per game, the 4th worst clip in the NCAA.
UTEP’s defense was solid in the season opener allowing just 14 points but the Stephen F. Austin offense pails in comparison to Texas. Last season UTEP allowed 35.9 points per game ranking 118th in scoring defense and could potentially be exposed in a big way going on the road to one of the best offenses in the Big 12.
Recent Betting Trends
Texas covered the spread in three of their last four games.
Texas totals' have gone under in four of their last five games.
UTEP was 2-5 ATS in their last seven games last season.
UTEP totals' have gone OVER in five of their last seven games.
Free NCAAF Pick: Over 59
Texas may struggle early on in the season to find weapons for Ehlinger to get the ball to but this game will serve as a great chance to play a lot of different guys and find that next star wide receiver. Even with some uncertainty on the offensive end, the Longhorns should have no problems scoring points against a UTEP defense that ranked in the basement of the NCAA in scoring defense last season. With senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger making his third opening day start, there should be no nerves and he should lead the Longhorns to a decisive win at home. With the spread being so high, Texas wins but covering 43 points is a daunting task. With both teams struggling with defense and the UTEP offense having a game under their belt, the best bet in this game is the over. Final score prediction, Texas Longhorns win with our best play on the over 56-14.
Houston Baptist at Texas Tech 9/12/20 - College Football
The Houston Baptist Huskies are playing against the Texas Tech Red Raiders at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas. Houston Baptist is 0-1 this year, following a 26-point loss against the North Texas Mean Green. The Red Raiders have yet to play a game this year. The Huskies gave up 721 yards of total offense to North Texas in their last game. In 2019 the Texas Tech Red Raiders were 53rd in total offense. The Huskies will have to be way better if they want to slow down this Red Raider offense.
The Houston Baptist Huskies had 480 passing yards in their last game and will look to air it out like they did against the Mean Green. The Huskies are led by senior quarterback, Bailey Zappe. Zappe had 62 passing attempts in their last game and had 480 yards through the air. Not only did he have 480 yards he also had 3 TD with 0 INT.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders were 53rd in total offense last year and will look to get off to a great start against a team who struggled on defense in their last game. The Red Raiders were 84th in total defense in 2019 and will need to be ready to defend the pass in this game. Texas Tech is led by sophomore running back, Sarodorick Thompson. Thompson started to get more and more touches by the end of last year and will be ready to attack this horrible Huskies defense.

The Houston Baptist Huskies are 4-2 ATS their last 6 games.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are 2-4 ATS their last 6 games.

Free NCAAF Pick: Over
In this matchup I like the Texas Tech Red Raiders to win on the over. The best bet in this game is to bet the over. The Raiders are a good offensive team and the Houston Baptist Huskies gave up 721 yards in their last game. The Huskies also were able to score 31 points in their last matchup. Final score prediction, Texas Tech Red Raiders will win but our best play is on the over 66-35.
Tulane at South Alabama 9/12/20 – College Football
Tulane is heading into the game here with some question marks when it comes to the offensive side of the ball. The Green Wave have only 4 starters coming back from their strong offense. What could really be problematic for the Tulane squad is none of the returning starters are from the key positions.
Defensively the Green Wave did look decent at times last year. The worst ranking for the defense of Tulane was the passing defense which was ranked 54th in the nation. The rushing defense was ranked 64th. With that defense getting those rankings they are returning a total of 7 starters.
South Alabama ended up picking up a win in their opening game. The Jaguars ended up beating the Southern Miss Golden Eagles by a score of 32-21. The defense is what really showed up big and impressive for the Jaguars as it was not expected to do as good as what they did.
The Jaguars ended up getting a very impressive game from Desmond Trotter who threw the ball for 299 yards, 2 touchdowns, but was picked off 2 times. The leading rusher for the Jaguars was Carlos Davis who ended up carrying the ball 15 times for 85 yards.
Recent Betting Trends
Tulane are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Tulane's last 5 games.
South Alabama are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of South Alabama's last 11 games.
Free NCAAF Pick: South Alabama Jaguar +10
The Jaguars looked fairly impressive in their first win of the year. Tulane is coming into the game here for the first time of the season. The Green Wave for their part are returning 7 for the defense, but the lack of position players on the offense returning will not help Tulane out in this game as the Green Wave end up losing the game. Final Score Prediction, South Alabama Jaguars win in upset but grab the points justin case 35-24.
Tulsa at Oklahoma State 9/12/20 – College Football
The Golden Hurricane are opening their year against the Cowboys. Granted, it will not be a great game, but the Tulsa club would like to have a chance to show up in the game with some good potential on the year. Offensively the Tulsa team is bringing in 9 starters from the team last year. The Golden Hurricane offense threw for 281 yards a game and ran for 138 yards per game.
A major problem for Tulsa is the fact that they are bringing back only 3 starters from defense. That will not help the Golden Hurricane defense out in keeping the Cowboy offense in check. Look for the Tulsa defense to have to learn on the fly, but the Tulsa defense will definitely struggle in the game.
The Cowboys are primed to have a good run this year. The Oklahoma State team is bringing back 8 starters on the offensive side of the ball. That includes Spencer Sanders who threw for 2065 yards, 16 touchdowns, but was picked off 11 times. Chuba Hubbard is coming back to lead the rushing attack with 328 carries and 2094 yards with 21 touchdowns.
Defensively the Cowboys ended up getting what a lot of coaches would consider a dream. The Cowboys are brining back all of the starters from last year. That includes Malcolm Rodriguez who got 103tackles, Amen Ogbongbemiga with 5 sacks and Kolby Harvell-Peel with 5 picks in the game.
Recent Betting Trends
Tulsa are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.
Tulsa are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games.
Oklahoma State are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Oklahoma State's last 6 games.
Free NCAAF Pick: Oklahoma State Cowboys -21
The game here will belong to the Cowboys. The Cowboys are bringing back almost a completely intact offense and a defense with all the players back. The Cowboys offense will be able to run over the Tulsa defense in the game, but also ends up getting a great showing defensively in this game here and that helps the Cowboys make a big statement. Final Score Prediction, Oklahoma State Cowboys win and cover ATS 35-7.
Wake Forest at Clemson 9/12/20 - College Football
Clemson is coming to the game as the top rated team in the nation. However, with only 6 starters returning on offense the Tigers could have some question marks coming up. Trevor Lawrence is coming back. Lawrence ended up throwing last year for 3665 yards and 36 touchdowns, but was picked off 6 times. Travis Etienne comes back as well with 207 carries with 1614 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Defensively the Tigers are only returning 6 starters on the year. The main player that is coming back for the Tigers is James Skalski who recorded a total of 90 tackles on the year. Outside of that the Tigers are not bringing back any of the main starters.
Wake Forest is coming back with only 3 starters in the game for the offense. The downside is the Demon Deacons are looking towards Sam Hartman to guide the team in his sophomore year. He threw for 830 yards and 4 touchdowns, but was picked off 2 times.
When it comes to the defense Wake Forest is bringing back the entire line backing corps, but also the front of the defense as well. The defensive backfield is completely new and not what you want against the Clemson Tigers.
Recent Betting Trends
Clemson are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
Clemson are 19-1 SU in their last 20 games.
Wake Forest are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Wake Forest's last 11 games.
Free NCAAF Pick: Clemson Tigers -33
In the game here the Tigers offense will have a great game with the defense for the Demon Deacons are going to be playing horrible in the game and not really be able to keep the coverage in place to keep the Tigers down. The defense for the Tigers will look good as well with Wake being very young on the offensive side of the ball. Final Score Prediction, Clemson Tigers win and cover ATS 63-7.
Missouri State at Oklahoma 9/12/20 - College Football
Oklahoma is coming to the game here with a total of 8 starters coming back from last year. The downside is the Sooners are having to break in a new quarterback in Spencer Rattler the freshman. However, Rattler was a great high school quarterback and was featured on a Netflix series for being a good quarterback.
Defensively the Sooners are bringing back 9 starters. The defense last year looked really good for the Sooners and now would like to improve even more on the year. What else is impressive is the fact that Jalen Redmond is coming back and last year he ended up recording 5.5 sacks and now is the second string on the depth chart.
The Missouri State Bears are playing in the FCS and with the playoffs already postponed for the FCS, the Bears are going to look to play in some games that can really help them out. The Bears for their part are coming to the game herewith what can only be hoped is a good offense. The downside is the Bears have to face a very strong defense here.
Defensively the Bears will be challenged. The Sooners are breaking in a new quarterback, but it will definitely be a challenge for the Bears to try to keep the Sooners offense in check. To make it even worse the Bears did not really get a lot of practice before the game here.
Free NCAAF Pick: Oklahoma Sooners
The Sooners are coming in as a ranked team, but also are coming to the game with a strong offense and a great defense. Look for that to continue to play a role in the game here. However, with an FCS opponent it will allow Rattler to get settled in for the game and get ready to play some great football on the year. Final Score Prediction, Oklahoma Sooners win and cover ATS 70-3.
Austin Peay at Pittsburgh 9/12/20 - College Football
The Governors get a chance to play in their second game of the seasons. The first game the Governors played in was a 24-17 loss to the Central Arkansas club in what looked like a very poor showing defensively for Austin Peay.
In the game the passing attack for the Governors was led by Jeremiah Oatsvall who threw for 181 yards and a pick. CJ Evans Jr. did look good on the field running the ball with 10 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown.
Pittsburgh is one team that is not rand, but that could change. The Panthers are returning 7 starters on the offensive side of the ball.
