TEMPLE @ RUTGERS | 09/02 | 6:30 PM EDT
RUTGERS -14
ANALYSIS: No value with the number, but I have lots of optimism for Greg Schiano’s second season back at Rutgers. I believe the students and fans do as well and will make home field matter again, like it did in Schiano’s first go-around with the program. He’s got almost everyone back from last season, including all of the starters on offense. Temple has a new transfer QB and five starters back on both sides of the ball from a team that went 1-6 and lost by an average score of 37-19. Experience and depth matter most here. Take Rutgers to cover.

EAST CAROLINA @ APP. ST. | 09/02 | 7:30 PM EDT
OVER 56
ANALYSIS: I will be shocked if this game doesn't go Over the total. App State averaged nearly 34 points per game last year and brings back nearly everyone on offense but its QB -- and has a good transfer taking over there in Duke's Chase Brice. East Carolina averaged 30.2 points a season ago and brings back 10 offensive starters, including QB Holton Ahlers. Defensively, the Pirates were a sieve in 2020 in allowing 35.4 ppg. The total has gone Over in 11 of ECU's last 15 games.

OHIO ST. @ MINNESOTA | 09/02 | 8:00 PM EDT
MINNESOTA +14
ANALYSIS: I was waiting for this to get back to 14 jic. Don't think will get higher. Ohio State coach Ryan Day just named CJ Stroud his starting QB. That's fine. Minnesota's Tanner Morgan is one of the best returning QBs in the Big Ten. Same reason why I picked against Alabama in Week 1: The Nuts lost so much talent. Yep, they will rock but will take a while. My boy PJ Fleck (Western Michigan) and the Row The Boats bring back 20 starters and will cover if not pull the upset.

OHIO ST. @ MINNESOTA | 09/02 | 8:00 PM EDT
MINNESOTA +14
ANALYSIS: I know it's hard to pick against the Buckeyes considering all of their offensive weapons, but this one will be decided on the other side of the ball. Minnesota has an ultra-experienced offensive line and one of the best running backs in the country in Mohamed Ibrahim. The Golden Gophers will grind it out against Ohio State's suspect defensive front to at least keep it interesting in the second half. Don't get me wrong - the Buckeyes will get the win. It'll be ugly, though.

EAST CAROLINA @ APP. ST. | 09/02 | 7:30 PM EDT
APP. ST. -10
ANALYSIS: The talent gap would suggest a larger spread. App State went 9-3 under new coach Shawn Clark last season, with defeats to two teams that ended the season ranked and a third that pushed into and fell out of Top 25. That’s two more wins than coach Mike Houston has managed in two seasons at ECU. The Mountaineers welcome back all but one starter from a stingy defensive unit. The offense was no slouch and will be bolstered by WR Corey Sutton (17 TD receptions in 22 games), who elected to sit out 2020. Overall, App State unleashes 14 starters who returned for a fifth season, courtesy of the NCAA’s COVID-related policy on extending players’ careers.

+290 4-1 IN LAST 5 APLST ATS PICKS
YESTERDAY 2:00 PM

BOISE ST. @ UCF | 09/02 | 7:00 PM EDT
UCF -5
ANALYSIS: Former Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, whose specialty is offense, eagerly accepts a bountiful inheritance. UCF averaged 42.2 points and 568.1 yards per game a year ago, and the entire line plus QB Dillon Gabriel is back for an encore. Additionally, UCF mined the transfer portal successfully. Boise State also wields experience, but its secondary is a shaky area. Malzahn, a proponent of the ground game, figures to mix up the play-calling to keep the Broncos off-balance. Boise travels well, having won three away openers in recent years in the Eastern time zone, but confronting a Malzahn-coached UCF loaded with talent and a near-capacity crowd is a lot to ask.

FIFA World Cup European Qualifier

Hungary vs. England (2:45 p.m. ET)

England to win and 2 or more goals in match (-125)

This will be England's first game since losing on penalties in the European Championship final on July 11. Manager Gareth Southgate has called up a strong squad for the trip to Budapest, and England is the clear favorite to secure victory. It has won all three World Cup qualifiers so far, and it boasts a wealth of attacking talent. However, this game will not be easy for the Three Lions. Hungary drew 1-1 with France and 2-2 with Germany in the group stage of the Euros, so England cannot afford to take it lightly. Yet Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish, Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka should provide enough firepower for England to secure a narrow victory.

Estonia vs. Belgium (2:45 p.m. ET)

Belgium -2.5 (-175)

Belgium to win and 4 or more goals in match (-125)
Belgium should rack up a heavy victory against Estonia when the teams meet in Tallinn this week. The Estonians are bottom of their qualifying group after losing 6-2 to the Czech Republic and 4-2 to Belarus. That does not bode well for a game against the world's No. 1-ranked team. Belgium will be without playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, who is injured, but Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard should tear this poor Estonian defense to shreds.

Italy vs. Bulgaria (2:45 p.m. ET)

Italy -2.5 (-110)

The European champion will bid to extend its unbeaten streak to 35 games when it hosts Bulgaria in Florence on Wednesday. Italy beat the Bulgarians 2-0 on the road in March. It has also secured 2-0 victories over Northern Ireland and Lithuania, leaving the Azzurri at the top of their World Cup qualifying group. Italy rarely concedes, but a win to nil is priced at just -275 for this game, which is not particularly appealing. The handicap line has been set at Italy -2.5. It will be tight, but the Italians should cover it if they play with the sort of intensity they displayed when beating Turkey 3-0 and Switzerland 3-0 at the Euros. They had 22 shots on goal when these teams met in Bulgaria in March, but they were missing star striker Ciro Immobile in that 2-0 victory, so the winning margin could be larger with him leading line this week.

Poland vs. Albania (2:45 p.m.)

Poland to win and 2 or more goals in match (-105)

Poland will aim to get its faltering World Cup qualification bid back on track when it takes on Albania in Warsaw this week. Paolo Sousa's men began with a thrilling 3-3 draw away at Hungary, and then eased to a 3-0 victory over Andorra. However, they lost 2-1 to group leader England in their last game. That left Poland fourth in the table, three points behind Hungary and two points behind Albania. However, it should ultimately have enough quality to seize second place. Playmaker Piotr Zielinksi and forward Krzysztof Piatek look set to miss this game, while Mateusz Klich has tested positive for COVID-19, so he is also out. However, Robert Lewandowski will start up front, and he should fire his team to victory. The Bayern Munich striker has scored three goals in two appearances so far in qualifying, and he should relish the opportunity to play against Albania's defense. Albania has won two of its three games so far, but they came against minnows in Andorra and San Marino, so we cannot read too much into those victories. It is a reasonably good team, but Poland looks superior.
