Miami-UNC pivotal division matchup in Week 2 of ACC slate
September 5, 2019
By The Associated Press


Here are things to watch in the Atlantic Coast Conference in Week 2:


GAME OF THE WEEK


Miami at North Carolina. This one looks more intriguing after the Tar Heels beat South Carolina in coach Mack Brown's return to the sideline behind true freshman quarterback Sam Howell. Now they're playing a sellout home opener Saturday night against the Hurricanes in a key Coastal Division matchup, and it marks the second straight week Brown will coach against a former assistant in new Miami coach Manny Diaz. Diaz spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons at Texas but Brown fired him as defensive coordinator after the Longhorns gave up 550 yards rushing to BYU in September 2013. Diaz and the Hurricanes are trying to avoid the program's first 0-2 start since 1978 following their loss to No. 11 Florida in the opener.


BEST MATCHUP


Texas A&M's run defense against Clemson's Travis Etienne. The Aggies finished last season ranked third nationally against the run (95.2 yards). And despite entering the season with four returning defensive starters, they held Texas State to 8 yards on 15 rushes - that's 0.53 yards per attempt - in last weekend's 41-7 home win. Now they face Etienne for top-ranked and reigning national champion Tigers. Etienne, last year's ACC player of the year, ran for a career-best 205 yards with touchdowns of 90, 48 and 14 yards in the opener against Georgia Tech. Etienne did all that in just 12 carries, averaging nearly 17.1 yards per attempt.


INSIDE THE NUMBERS


Eleven teams in the Bowl Subdivision ranks didn't allow a touchdown in their opening game, with two - No. 21 Syracuse and North Carolina State - in the ACC. The Orange beat Liberty 24-0 for their first road shutout since 1991. The Wolfpack beat East Carolina 34-6, keeping the Pirates out of the end zone for the second time in nine months (N.C. State beat ECU 58-3 in December).


LONG SHOT


Old Dominion pulled one of last season's biggest surprises by beating Virginia Tech. Can the Monarchs do it again? They visit the Hokies on Saturday, nearly a year after beating a nationally-ranked Virginia Tech team 49-35 at home. ODU won just four games last year and the offensive stars of that upset (quarterback Blake LaRussa, receivers Travis Fulgham and Jonathan Duhart) are gone, leaving the Monarchs as a 26.5-point underdog to start the week.


IMPACT PLAYER


Louisville redshirt freshman Javian Hawkins has given new coach Scott Satterfield reason for optimism entering Saturday's game against Eastern Kentucky. Hawkins ran 19 times for 122 yards in the season-opening loss to No. 8 Notre Dame, making him the first Louisville freshman to run for at least 100 yards against an FBS opponent since November 2009.

No. 12 Aggies, No. 6 LSU have huge nonconference road tests
September 5, 2019
By The Associated Press


Here are some things to watch during the second week of the Southeastern Conference football season.


GAME OF THE WEEK


No. 12 Texas A&M at No. 1 Clemson: Texas A&M gave Clemson one of its toughest tests during its run to the national championship last season, yet the Aggies enter the rematch as 17-point underdogs. Texas A&M is arguably Clemson's toughest regular-season opponent and can stake its own claim as a legitimate SEC and playoff contender by pulling off the upset. Clemson won last year's game 28-26 at Texas A&M before the Tigers made the switch from Kelly Bryant to Trevor Lawrence as their starting quarterback. Both teams won convincingly in their openers last week.


TOP MATCHUP


Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger vs. LSU defense: Ehlinger ran for three touchdowns in Texas' Sugar Bowl upset of Georgia last season and now gets a chance to knock off another SEC team as the ninth-ranked Longhorns host No. 6 LSU. Ehlinger began his 2019 campaign by throwing four touchdown passes without an interception in a 49-14 rout of Louisiana Tech. LSU allowed just 98 total yards in a 55-3 blowout of Georgia Southern. Jacob Phillips recorded 10 tackles, Rashard Lawrence recorded a sack and Grant Delpit recovered a fumble in that game.


INSIDE THE NUMBERS


The SEC went 6-4 in nonconference games on Saturday and is 8-4 in such games so far this year. Last season, the SEC went 50-6 in regular-season nonconference games, and its .833 regular-season nonconference winning percentage was its best ever. ... No. 10 Auburn rallied from 15 points down to beat No. 16 Oregon last week, which marked its biggest comeback since erasing a 24-point deficit in a 28-27 victory over Alabama in 2010. ... Over his first 13 games as Tennessee's head coach, Jeremy Pruitt already has matched his loss total (eight) in five seasons as the defensive coordinator at Florida State (2013), Georgia (2014-15) and Alabama (2016-17). ... LSU quarterback Joe Burrow's five touchdown passes against Georgia Southern tied a single-game school record. All five came in the first half.


UPSET WATCH


With an inexperienced roster and a new coaching staff, West Virginia averaged less than 1 + yards per carry last week while struggling to a 20-13 victory over Football Championship Subdivision program James Madison. Even so, it's remarkable that a Big 12 program that has made 16 bowl appearances in the last 17 seasons is a two-touchdown underdog to a Missouri team coming off a loss at Wyoming.


IMPACT PERFORMER


South Carolina has perhaps the nation's toughest schedule and will be facing that challenge with freshman Ryan Hilinski as its starting quarterback. Hilinski is being pushed into action because Jake Bentley hurt his foot in a season-opening loss to North Carolina. South Carolina hasn't announced exactly how much time Bentley will miss, but the senior could be out for the rest of the season. Hilinksi was rated as the nation's No. 2 pro-style quarterback and No. 64 overall prospect in his class according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. He makes his first career start Saturday when South Carolina hosts Football Championship Subdivision program Charleston Southern.

USC's Slovis eager to start at QB
September 4, 2019
By The Associated Press


LOS ANGELES (AP) Kedon Slovis enrolled early at Southern California this year as an unheralded recruit expected to provide quarterback depth in the seasons ahead.


Slovis quietly wanted a whole lot more for himself, and he wanted it to happen a whole lot quicker.


He never imagined it quite this way, however: After several months of hard work and one unfortunate injury for J.T. Daniels in the Trojans' season opener, Slovis will be the starting quarterback in his second game at USC.


''It's nothing you really expect,'' Slovis said after practice. ''But as a backup quarterback, you always have to be prepared. It's really unfortunate what happened, but you've got to be the next man up and do your best.''


The 18-year-old freshman from Scottsdale, Arizona, is the unlikely leader of the Trojans (1-0) on Saturday night when they host No. 23 Stanford (1-0). An unsung passer who has already had three quarterbacks coaches since he committed last year is inheriting the job recently held by Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Matt Barkley, Cody Kessler and Sam Darnold.


''It was definitely weird waking up Sunday morning,'' Slovis said after practice. ''But nothing changes for me. I'm still going out to practice every day, except now it's with the (starters) instead of the (backups). All of those guys are doing a great job of giving me a lot of encouragement.''


Slovis already played his first half of college ball last week after Daniels badly injured his knee while being blitzed by Fresno State 27 seconds before halftime. Slovis took over and went 6 of 8 with an interception while the Trojans largely relied on their running game and special teams to grind out a 31-23 win.


Ready or not, Slovis will face the vaunted Cardinal defense next. USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell believes his freshman backup QB can handle the spotlight.


''He's got as good of an arm as I've seen,'' said Harrell, who once backed up Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. ''He can make any throw out there that most people can't make. We just have to do our best to get him making the right decisions every time, and if he does that, he's going to be fun to watch.''


While outsiders didn't expect big things from Slovis immediately, Slovis was on a quicker timetable after he graduated from Desert Mountain High School, where Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner was his quarterbacks coach.


After fitting into the Trojans' offense immediately during spring workouts, Slovis legitimately felt he was in competition for the starting job with Daniels, an 11-game starter last year. Slovis obviously impressed his coaches when they unexpectedly named him the backup ahead of more-experienced Jack Sears and Matt Fink.


But Slovis wasn't impressed by himself.


''That was the biggest thing being named No. 2, is regaining that confidence you lost in not being named the guy,'' Slovis said. ''But coming out here with the (starters) and getting plenty of reps, that helps.''


Like most Trojans in recent years, Slovis has already had to prove he can handle upheaval.


Slovis was recruited when Tee Martin was the Trojans' offensive coordinator and Bryan Ellis was their quarterbacks coach. Slovis made his official visit after coach Clay Helton fired Martin and Ellis left for another job, and Slovis committed to USC during the 34-day window when Kliff Kingsbury was USC's new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.


Harrell, who took over both jobs for Kingsbury, knew almost nothing about Slovis until spring practices began at USC. The change could be hardest on Harrell, who had planned his season around Daniels' particular skill set. Although Harrell insists that the Trojans ''game-plan the same'' no matter who is taking the shotgun snaps in his Air Raid offense, Slovis and Daniels have different skills and strengths.


Even if Slovis plays well against the Cardinal, the Trojans' quarterback woes aren't over. Slovis and Fink are the only scholarship QBs on the roster with nearly the entire regular season ahead of Helton, who probably needs a bounce-back season to keep his job.


Helton claims he isn't worried about putting his future in the hands of a teenager who's going to work faster than anyone imagined.


''I can always tell a quarterback by their eyes, and when his number was called (last week), there was no fooling,'' Helton said. ''He was just like, `I'm ready for this moment.'''

CFL Betting Notes - Week 13
David Schwab


A late start to Week 12 of the CFL regular season opened on Sunday with Saskatchewan grinding out a 19-17 victory in a home-and-home series opener against West Division rival Winnipeg closing as a 5 ½-point home favorite.


In a double-header of action on Labor Day, Hamilton came away with a 38-27 victory against Toronto in a game that ended as a PUSH with the Tiger-Cats closing as 11-point home favorites. Calgary got the best of Edmonton 25-9 as a 3 ½-point home favorite in the first of two back-to-back games against its West Division rivals.



Saturday, Sept. 7


Toronto Argonauts (1-9 SU, 4-5-1 ATS) at Ottawa RedBlacks (3-7 SU, 4-6 ATS)
Point-spread: Ottawa -5
Total: 51 ½


Game Overview


Toronto is another team that is already making plans for next season. It has posted a 1-3-1 record ATS in five previous road games this season and the total has gone OVER in three of its last four games after going OVER 52 points in Monday’s loss to Hamilton. The Argonauts took a 13-point lead into halftime, but another second-half collapse led to their ninth SU loss in 10 games. Mcleod Bethel-Thompson continues to put up big numbers throwing the ball with 337 yards passing and two scores in that latest losing effort.


The RedBlacks come off a bye in desperate need of a win to stay in the postseason race. A SU 2-0 start is a distance memory with just one more win in their last eight games. This will be the first meeting against Toronto this season. The total went OVER 49 points in a recent 40-18 road loss to Saskatchewan after staying UNDER in four of their previous five games. Three different quarterbacks saw action in that game led by Jonathan Jennings with 208 yards passing the ball. Ottawa gave up 24 points on five turnovers.


Betting Trends


-- Toronto has an 8-3 SU edge in the last 11 meetings of this East Division tilt, but Ottawa is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 home games against the Argonauts. The total has stayed UNDER in eight of the last nine meetings in Ottawa.


Saskatchewan (7-3 SU, 7-3 ATS) at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (8-3 SU, 8-3 ATS)
Point-spread: Winnipeg -1 ½
Total: 48


Game Overview


The Roughriders can take the lead in the West standings with a series sweep on Saturday. Sunday’s win was their six in a row SU and it was the first time they failed to cover the closing spread in that same span of games. The total stayed UNDER 47 ½ points and it has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games. Saskatchewan is 3-1 ATS in four previous road games this season. The difference in Sunday’s game was a 26-yard field with time running out. Cody Fajardo completed 25-of-39 passes for 300 yards and a score.


Winnipeg remains short-handed on offense with quarterback Mike Nichols out with injury and running back Andrew Harris finishing up a two-game league suspension. In their place in Sunday’s game, Chris Streveler went 16-for-24 passing the ball for 161 yards. He threw one touchdown pass against a pair of interceptions. Johnny Augustine gained 98 rushing yards on 12 carries. The Blue Bombers are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS at home this season.


Betting Trends


-- Winnipeg has a slight 6-4 SU edge over the past 10 meetings in this West Division clash with an even 5-5 mark ATS. The total has stayed UNDER in the last three matchups after going OVER in the previous five meetings.


Calgary Stampeders (6-4 SU, 4-6 ATS) at Edmonton Eskimos (6-5 SU, 4-7 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -1
Total: 48


Game Overview


Calgary had lost its previous two games to Winnipeg on the road and to Montreal at home ahead of Monday’s win. It is 3-1 ATS over its last four games with the total staying UNDER the closing line in six of its last eight contests. Bo Levi Mitchell was back under center for the Stampeders on Monday and he looked sharp in his return with 263 yards passing and one touchdown throw while completing 67.9 percent of his 28 passing attempts. KaDeem Carey had a big day running the ball with 143 yards rushing on 16 carries.


This becomes a crucial game for Edmonton in the West Division title race. It lost to Winnipeg at home 34-28 in Week 11 as a 5 ½-point favorite. It also has a previous 24-18 loss to Calgary as one-point road favorites on Aug. 3. This is part of a SU 2-4 record in division play. Trevor Harris was able to complete 77.1 percent of his 35 passing attempts for 216 yards, but he could not get the Eskimos into the end zone through the air. The offense only added another 55 yards on the ground.


Betting Trends


-- Calgary has won eight of the last 10 meetings SU, but this series is tied at 5-5 ATS during the same span. The total has now stayed UNDER in five of the last seven meetings overall and it has also stayed UNDER in two of the last three meetings in Edmonton.

BC LIONS AT MONTREAL ALOUETTES


ODDS: Montreal -6.5, O/U: 51.5
TIME: Friday, September 6, 7:30 p.m. ET


BC was expected to be one of the best teams in the league this year after adding star quarterback Mike Reilly, but they've been one of the worst. Their defense has been awful and their offensive line woes has made life miserable for Reilly while failing to open up holes in the run game.


Montreal was expected to be awful but have been solid - at least when compared to the other teams in the East. Vernon Adams Jr gives them a dual-threat at QB and William Stanback is one of the league's best backs when healthy. Stanback returned from a foot injury against Toronto in Week 11 but didn't seem 100 percent, the bye week should have helped him get closer to full speed.


The Lions are 1-5 on the road this season with that lone win coming by a last-second single point in Toronto. Take the home side to cover.


PICK: Montreal -6.5




TORONTO ARGONAUTS AT OTTAWA REDBLACKS


ODDS: Ottawa -5, O/U: 51.5
TIME: Saturday, September 7, 1:00 p.m. ET


Ottawa has lost seven of their last eight contests, including three in a row. Over that span their offense has put up just 14.6 points per game. Toronto's offense isn't going to be mistaken for the Greatest Show on Turf but they have eclipsed 20 points in each of their last four games, a feat that the Redblacks have accomplished in just one of their previous eight contests.


A big reason for the Argos improvement on offense has been QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson who has thrown for 1334 yards and nine touchdowns with no interceptions over his last four contests. The RedBlacks situation at QB is an absolute mess as they flip a coin between Jonathan Jennings and Dominique Davis. Regardless of who wins that quarterback battle expect Redblacks fans to lose. Fade Ottawa and grab Toronto and the points.


PICK: Toronto +5




SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS AT WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS


ODDS: Winnipeg -1.5, O/U: 48
TIME: Saturday, September 7, 4:00 p.m. ET


The Riders have won six consecutive games in row and have held opponents to just 16.4 ppg over their last five contests. The Bombers defense allows the second-fewest points in the league (19.8 ppg) and they're even better at home where they give up just 16.6 ppg.


These teams played each other last week and we nailed our Under bet with both sides packing strong defenses and struggling offenses. With Winnipeg still missing their starting QB in Matt Nichols and their best offensive weapon in running back Andrew Harris it could be another game with lots of punting. Take the Under.


PICK: Under 48




CALGARY STAMPEDERS AT EDMONTON ESKIMOS


ODDS: Edmonton -3, O/U: 47
TIME: Saturday, September 7, 7:00 p.m. ET


He's back!!! Last year's Most Outstanding Player Bo Levi Mitchell stepped back into action for the Stamps last week and was his usual efficient self tossing for 263 yards on 28 attempts. Calgary has now beaten the Eskimos twice this season, and will look to make it three for three. This time however they'll have to do it on the road.


Edmonton has been piling up yards but struggling to punch it into the end zone going 0-5 in the red zone over their last two games. They rank first in the league in yards per game with 429.5, but are just sixth in scoring with 24.8 points per game. Take Calgary and the points.


PICK: Calgary +3

The Charlotte 49ers (1-0) will face their first road game of the year on Saturday as they travel into Boone, North Carolina to take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers (1-0).
Both teams earned the victory in Week 1 of the college football season. While Charlotte was beating Gardner-Webb 49-28, Appalachian State easily defeated Eastern Tennessee State by a score of 42-7.
In last year’s matchup between these two teams, the Mountaineers made quick work of the 49ers in a 45-9 beatdown.
Although the 49ers racked up 508 yards of offense compared to just 219 yards allowed, they struggled to hang onto the ball and ended the game with three turnovers. Quarterbacks Chris Reynolds and Brett Kean combined for 18-of-28 passing with 136 yards, two touchdowns, and three picks.
The Mountaineers built on their 14-0 halftime advantage and won the game handily on the back of a 444-yard offensive performance while allowing just 292 yards. Appalachian State spread the ball out on the ground, but Darrynton Evans lead all running backs with 14 carries for 99 yards and a TD.
Mountaineers quarterback Zac Thomas threw for two touchdowns and added another in the run game.
While Charlotte is 1-4 in its last five games against the spread versus a team above .500, Appalachian State is 6-0 against the spread in its last six against non-conference opponents.

The UCLA Bruins lost to a very good Cincinnati team that won 11 games a year ago in their opener. It was the second straight season opening loss to the Bearcats for the Bruins. Now UCLA has Oklahoma on deck, so they are looking at this game against San Diego State as a must-win. They should be able to win and cover at home. This is a veteran UCLA team that returned 19 starters and improved greatly in the second half of the season last year. Those improvements should show through here in Week 2. San Diego State clearly has the same offensive problems that have dogged them for years. They beat FCS foe Weber State 6-0 last week and only had 238 yards of total offense. I just don’t think they will have the firepower to keep up with this Chip Kelly offense led by Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The Aztecs are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games overall. The Bruins are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 against Mountain West teams. The Bruins are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Give me UCLA.

1* Free NCAAF Pick on North Texas Mean Green +3½ -110
These two teams met in last year's season opener and North Texas Won 46-23 as a 4-point home dog. It wasn't even that close. The Mean Green were up 36-0 after 3 quarters. They outgained the Mustangs 529 to 252 and North Texas quarterback Mason Fine absolutely torched the SMU defense for 444 yards and 3 scores (40 of 50 passing).
Fine looked in midseason form in Week 1, throwing for 383 yards and 4 scores in North Texas' 51-31 win. I know SMU won on the road over Arkansas State and Texas transfer quarterback Shane Buechele played well, but the SMU secondary didn't look any better. Logan Bonner of Arkansas State went 32 of 50 (64%) for 324 yards and 4 scores.
I just don't see the Mustangs being able to keep pace offensively and I fully expect North Texas to win outright. Mean Green are a strong 9-4 ATS last 13 in September. SMU is 1-5 ATS last 6 off a win.
There's also a strong system in play. Road dogs who put up 400 or more yards/game the previous season and are coming off a game where they outgained opponents by 125 or more have gone 48-18 (73%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take North Texas!

NCAA-F | Coastal Carolina vs Kansas
Play on: Kansas -7 -109 at GTBets

Kansas -7
This play just missed out on our premium card. Kansas and Coastal Carolina face off on Saturday and the home squad has the value.
The Kansas defense is known for creating turnovers and they are facing a Coastal Carolina quarterback who threw four interceptions in game one.
The Jayhawks offense looked better in the second half of week one, and the Jayhawks defense will probably score a touchdown too.
Some trends to note. Chanticleers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Chanticleers are 0-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Jayhawks are 4-0 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
Back the Jayhawks.
