Tip Preview:
Pinnacle offer 10% higher odds than other bookies which I find strange. Nevermind. Jaguars end a three-game home stand. And they won't lose twice in a row. They laid an egg against Tennessee but this is their bogey opponent. Jets allowed a sure win to slip through their hands against Cleveland. They won't have such a chance today.

Tip Preview:
Titans don't have a healthy QB (Gabbert is out, Mariota has a damaged elbow nerve in throwing arm) and ground game is non-existent. And while Carson Wentz hasn't wowed in his return from injury he at least provides stability to the Eagles. Philly's only loss came on a day when Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for over 400 yards. This won't happen today and Eagles attack is much more balanced compared to what Jacksonville showed against Tennessee last week.

Tip Preview:
A generous line especially with Larry Fitzgerald not even close to 100%. Despite being a rookie Kirk outshined Fitzgerald finishing with 90 yards in the loss to Chicago. As Josh Rosen makes his first career start I won't be surprised if Kirk has a big day as rookies usually spent a lot of time off the field bonding together.

Tip Preview:
The bets are coming heavily on the under probably because MT State has not shown much offense. Blue Raiders scored just a TD in two of the three games so far but they both were against SEC teams (Vanderbilt and Georgia). In conference play QB Brent Stockstill usually excels. Same goes for FAU. Owls played a lucrative game at Oklahoma and got beaten soundly (63-14) then got whooped by UCF (56-36), But the offense is clicking and that's all that matters. I expect a lot of fireworks on Saturday evening.

Tip Preview:
QB Tevaka Tuioti comes back in time for the home game against one of the worst run defenses in the country. FBS newcommers Liberty allow 308 YPG on the ground with only Connecticut and Bowling Green behind them. And New Mexico although a couple of years away from their triple option heyday still love to run it as much as possible. Liberty beat Old Dominion before suffering heavy losses against Army and North Texas. Flames are not projected to win another game against FBS opposition in 2018 (except maybe New Mexico St.). The line has already gone to as high as 8.5 in some bookmakers so be quick to grab this.

Tip Preview:
This will be emotional game for Northwestern as leading RB Jeremy Larkin was forced to retire with a serious spinal condition. In similar conditions Michigan got involved in a dogfight against Minnesota in 2015. But Northwestern is too much of a mess to get this far. Wolverines trounced Western Michigan, SMU and Nebraska and the only thing that sounds a little scary is the start time. They are excellent in noon games and this is a 4.30 PM start. Yet, they beat SMU 45:20 two eeks ago in the afternoon slot.

Tip Preview:
O/U line is set at 280.5 at most bookmakers but bet365 and BetVictor are keeping it even lower. Fitzpartick has thrown for 810 yards combined in his first two games and Steelers secondary made not only Patrick Mahomes but Tyrod Taylor too look like world beaters. It's a rare primetime opportunity for the Buccaneers so I expect them to unleash Fitzmagic.

Tip Preview:
Bears were very limited in Howard usage the first two weeks but with Mitch Trubisky struggles head coach Matt Nagy vowed to give him more touches. And Cardinals' defense has already given up four rushing TDs already.

Tip Preview:
Jared Cook leads all Oakland players in targets and yards after two weeks of regular season. He is facing a team who for a second year in a row iss helpless against TEs. Last year Cook went off against Miami (8 rec, 126 yards) so this is a match-up to exploit.

Tip Preview:
Niners scored 30 against Detroit and practically had 23 against Minnesota (Alfred Morris fumbled at the goal line). Vikings have one of the best defenses in the league while KC look more like a Swiss cheese so far.

Tip Preview:
KC has not been able to stop anybody so far. Niners has been to score almost at will despite their questionable OL. Now everybody is off the injury report so 3 TDs? Yes, please!

Tip Preview:
A Power 5 team is getting that line against a Group of Five team? It is a must. Neither Marshall nor NC State has faced a competitive opponent so far in 2018 so this is the first test. Judging by the previous two matches if Miami (Oh.) can put 28 on Marshall then what about Ryan Finley against a team that allows 11.7 YPC?

Tip Preview:
An absurd line. Noodle arm Bradford played so poorly against Washington that another similar performance may very well lead to his benching. Even mid-game. Somehow bookies decided that a defense that kept Derek Carr out of the endzone on Monday will be shredded by Bradford. On the road no less!

Tip Preview:
In previous five games against Atlanta Newton has thrown for 180, 137, 198, 165 and 142 yards. Right side of the offensive line is missing (T Daryl Williams has a knee injury, G Trai Turner did not clear concussion protocol). TE Greg Olsen is out with a broken foot so Newton's production today will probably come on the ground, not through the air. Which is what OC Norv Turner tried to do against Daalas last week.

Tip Preview:
Last two matches in this rivalry were strange, to say the least. NM State won them both by a combined margin of 3 points. Buth this year Aggies are abysmal. They've scored 30 points. In 3 games total! Even without starting QB Tevaka Tuoti New Mexico's Triple Option must be able to roll against a team that allows close to 300 YPG on the ground.

Tip Preview:
There were crazy numbers in both Texas Tech games this season. The main thig is: Red Raiders are still playing defense optionally and shutting down Lamar (77:0) doesn't count. Houston QB D'Eriq King has thrown for 566 yards with 7 TDs and another 3 on the ground and the only questions seems to be: How long will it take him to find the endzone on Saturday? On the other side Cougars' secondary has been very shaky. The awful Rice almost reached 300 yards passing, Arizona got to 381. Texas Tech may ever surpass that.

Tip Preview:
Last year Cyclones went to Norman and won 38:31 in probably the most shocking upset of the college football season. It's time for revenge. Iowa St. offense is going nowhere. Cyclones managed 3 points against Iowa last Saturday and QB Kyle Kempt is banged up. Oklahoma just lost RB Rodney Anderson for the season but the machine should continue to roll on even without him.

Tip Preview:
Cubs basically to split the double header. They sent Jaime Garcia to the mound in G1 and left MVP front runner Javier Baez and Kris Bryant on the bench. They will start Cole Hamels (4-0, 1.36 ERA since joining the team) and Nats will counter with Jefry Rodriguez (2-2, 5.58 ERA) who has given up 21 runs in 24.2 IP at home. Washington spared only Ryan Zimmerman in G1 as they went all-in in support of Max Scherzer in the early part and their line-up for G2 looks seemingly inferior.

Tip Preview:
Line is quickly moving up because...ULM is a Sun Belt team after all.
Theye were involved in a 34-31 thriller withn SE Louisiana - a team, that finished 6-3 in FCS last year. At the same time Southern Miss had a walk in the park adainst Jackson St. Golden Eagles threw for 242 yards and the ground attack followed with 202 in a 55-7 rout. This smells like a shootout but the weather forecast is shaky. And if the rain comes a little earlier the ground game should be the decisive factor. Therefore I'll not test the O/U but will count on Southern Miss to duplicate last year's 28-17 win.

Tip Preview:
It's a de facto 11 o'clock start for a PEDT team. Nevada shreded FCS Portland St. for 420 yards and 72 points but the air attack will face one of the best secondaries in the country. Last week Vanderbilt held MTSU led by veteran Brent Stockstill to just 167 passing yards and mere 7 points. The other important thing - Comodores controlled the tempo with the ground game. Until further provement this should be the difference today.
