Saturday Early Plays:
Straight
*POD* Texas (-13.5) vs. Maryland 2 Units
There are distractions everywhere for the Maryland football program. Combined that with the revenge Texas is seeking for last year's game spells trouble for the Terps. This will be Herman's 2nd year at Texas so expect a solid improvement overall.
Florida Atlantic (+21) vs. Oklahoma 1 Unit
FAU has the talent on both sides of the ball to make this game interesting. FAU's defense, notably Azeez Al-Shaair, will be the key factor keeping FAU within striking distance. I'm sure Kyler Murray will be a solid QB this year but out of the gates against this solid FAU defense, he may encounter some issues. I'll take my chances and take the 21 points.
Boston College (-17.5) vs. Massachusetts 1 Unit
Plain and simple, this game will determined in the trenches. If it does, it will be UMass' worst nightmare. I am seeing AJ Dillon running all over this defense. Once Boston College gets out to a solid early lead, UMass' playcalling will become predictable and will be exposed even more. The Eagles should roll.
West Virginia (-9.5) vs. Tennessee 1 Unit
Will Grier is the real deal! I am high on this West Virginia team this year. With the new coaching changes at Tennessee, not really sure what to expect. Just feel West Virginia will not be stopped on the offensive end all game and will get enough stops on defense late to cover. With Holgorsen and Pruitt going back and forth all week, given the opportunity, Holgorsen will try and make a statement.
Wyoming ML (+125) vs. Washington State 1 Unit
This Wyoming team is very underrated and experienced. The defense should be able to contain the Cougs spread attack and get a big Power 5 win at home.
Washington ML (+110) vs. Auburn 1 Unit
In big games, I will take Chris Petersen every time. Even better when his team is seen as underdogs. Seeing the Huskies struggle early but the second half adjustments made by Petersen should make the difference to get the big win to start the season.
