Rutgers is looking to bounce back after an embarrassing Week 1 loss to UMass as a nearly 30-point favorite. Now, the Scarlet Knights head to Boston as 3.5-point underdogs against a Boston College team that also opened the season with a loss. The Eagles were 7.5-point underdogs against Cincinnati and struggled on both sides of the ball, turning the ball over and allowing more than 250 rushing yards. Rutgers has plenty of returning talent, including along the offensive line and at running back, where Antwan Raymond rushed for more than 1,200 yards last season. Week 1 was rock bottom. Rutgers has the opportunity to start climbing out Friday night.

Based on my projected pace for this game, I feel stronger about the first-half Under than the full-game one. However, there's enough explosiveness on the field, especially with Alabama, that these offenses could eventually erupt. Plus, DeBoer and Stein are offensive-minded coaches. 

Regardless, the Crimson Tide have gone Under their team total in five of the school's last six away games, and the squad's early-down EPA/play was in the 91st percentile of college football last week, per GameOnPaper.com.

That familiarity should help the Wildcats navigate a tough road matchup.

UNLV has already covered plenty of ground to open the season, traveling to Hawaii last week before returning to the mainland for a matchup with North Texas.

Despite losing star quarterback Drew Mestemaker to Oklahoma State and undergoing a significant roster overhaul, North Texas still outgained the Hoosiers and averaged 5.5 yards per play in a 52-16 loss.

The Yellow Jackets should lean on Justice Haynes and their home-field advantage while using Mendoza’s mobility to extend drives.

Chris Henry gives Ohio State a useful red-zone matchup against Texas. 

The freshman scored on his only catch in the opener, and his 6-foot-6 frame gives Julian Sayin a large target when the field compresses. Texas will have to shade coverage toward Jeremiah Smith while accounting for Ohio State’s run game, creating opportunities for Henry on isolated boundary routes, curls and back-shoulder throws near the goal line. Devin McCuin established himself as a key part of the receiving rotation in Week 1, but Ohio State’s multiple-receiver formations should continue to create favorable matchups for its younger options. Henry’s physicality and ability to win above the rim give him a clear path to a touchdown if Texas prioritizes stopping Smith.

Texas can target Ohio State’s aggressive defensive front with designed quarterback keepers, scrambles and movement throws that pull edge defenders away from their lanes. Obviously this gets more pronounced in high-leverage situations near the goalline, where Manning’s mobility gives the offense an additional gap for the Buckeyes to defend. Manning threw four touchdown passes in the opener, showing the scoring upside of this Texas offense, but his rushing path is the reason to consider him here. Ohio State’s pressure and pursuit can create openings if Manning escapes contain.

At 41%, his dual-threat profile diversifies the Texas touchdown card.

Hawaii can't run or shoot offensively. The offensive line (127th in PFF's pass-blocking grade) and receiving unit (126th in receiving grade) are both a mess, which has led to quarterback Micah Alejado completing just 52.2% of his passes for 4.9 yards per attempt. I can't consider an Over with this team until things turn around, especially not unless I get a lower number. The market hasn't adjusted enough yet.

Former Mississippi head coach Lane Kiffin will take his new team, LSU, into Oxford. Considering the controversial way he left the Rebels prior to the playoffs last year, there might not be a more hostile environment in college football this season. It’s a game worthy of giving the home team more than three points of home-field advantage.

How to Use NCAAF Computer Picks

As human beings, we're bound to be biased with our picks and potentially fall into the trap of swinging with the public. With advanced stats growing in popularity and getting harder to track, college football computer predictions are starting to become more relied on.

Moneyline

Betting on a moneyline simply means you're picking the outright winner of the game, regardless of the scoring margin or total. If the team you choose wins, then your bet hits. Here's what it will look like over at your favorite sportsbook:

TeamMoneyline
Alabama Crimson Tide-120
Missouri Tigers+150

In this case, Alabama is favored to win the game as its moneyline odds have a minus sign (-) in front of the number. The favorites will have the minus sign present, and the underdogs will have a plus sign (+). Easy, right?

Spread

Betting the spread gives your bet a bit more breathing room. Here, you don't need to sweat out a team to win. Instead, you can wager on the point differential on the scoreboard.

Betting on the spread is a good idea when the moneyline profits aren't enticing. There's no point betting on Alabama as a heavy -1500 favorite over Missouri. But taking Missouri to keep the scoring margin within a certain frame will get you more bang for your buck.

TeamSpread
Alabama Crimson Tide-24.5 (-105)
Missouri Tigers+24.5 (-115)

In this example, the Tide are favored to dominate their game against Missouri, outperforming them by at least 24.5 points.

If Alabama does win by more than 25 points, that would mean the Crimson Tide covered the spread. But if the Tide won by just 20 points, then that would mean the Tigers "covered the spread" instead.

Totals

If you think the outcome of a game could flip in either direction, then an Over/Under is the way to go. This bet relies on the combined score from both teams and whether it goes Over or Under the point total listed at sportsbooks. Then, who cares who wins?

TeamTotal
Alabama Crimson TideO 52.5 (-110)
Missouri TigersU 52.5 (-110)

In this example, oddsmakers have set the total score for the game at 52.5 points. The choice is now up to you. If you think the Tide and Tigers will score a combined total of more than 52.5 points, 53 points or more, then pick the Over. If you're thinking otherwise, then bet the Under, and the bet will hit if they score fewer than 52.5 points.

If the set number was a whole number like 52 points and the two teams score exactly that amount, then it is considered a push and you'd get your money back.
