Arkansas Razorbacks (ARK) vs Texas A&M Aggies (TEX A/M) Pick

Arkansas Razorbacks over Texas A&M Aggies: A ranked team at home with an explosive offense you will always be paying a premium to bet on. Tex A/M is a good team not great who has played very weak competition so far. Ark lost their opening game to Auburn. Since then they have won 3 in a row outscoring opponents 174-49.

MIchigan State Spartans (MST) vs Oregon Ducks (ORG) Pick

Michigan State Spartans over Oregon Ducks: #6 travels to #4 in a contrast of styles. Both these teams look to be in the mix for a spot in the 4 team playoff. High powered high speed top offense org is tough to prepare for. However Mich St. had a cupcake last week a bye on tap and then E.Mich. In other words they have game planned for this team since spring.

Miami-Florida Hurricanes (MI-FLOR) vs Louisville Cardinals (LOUISV) Pick

Miami/Florida Hurricanes over Louisville Cardinals: Both teams will have uncertainty at the QB position. Kaaya will start for Mia while Garder replaces the departed Bridgewater. Part of the reason this line is where it is because of last year’s bowl result. I say big deal too many changes on both teams for it to have an impact on this game.

California Golden Bears (CAL) vs Northwestern Wildcats (NWESTERN) Pick

Northwestern Wildcats over California Golden Bears: Not often especially in week 1 that I will lay this type of lumber however the line has been coming down all week and I think it is the wrong move. Cal will reside in the basement of the PAC 12 again this year. They play no defense. They do not travel well. Dykes was a poor hire and is in over his head.

Temple Owls (TEM) vs Vanderbilt Commodores (VANDY) Pick

Temple Owls over Vanderbilt Commodores: This line is based on last year’s results and for the first game of the season it is simply too many points. It is not often you have a QB advantage taking this many points. However that is what we have with Walker vs. Robinette. In addition Tem has a much better running game than Vandy.
