So many question marks here! The Bears got down huge in Week 1 vs. Detroit and came back to win. They let the lowly Giants back in the game last week. Is this team horrible, average or good? Can the Atlanta Falcons recover after their huge onside kick debacle last week against the Cowboys? It’s helter skelter this week when the Bears head south to Atlanta! Get Jay’s Week 3 pick on this matchup of two teams that resemble a fart in a whirlwind!
If you watch a lot of Ravens games you’ll often times hear announcers refer to their offensive line as “Road Graders”. It’s very difficult to lose in the NFL when you have all day to throw, gaping holes to run through and a tight end built like Gronk on steroids. While laying -7 on the road in the NFL is a scary proposition, it might be like taking candy from a baby in vs. the Texans this week.
Two teams meet up in Week 2 that we thought we’d see more out of last week. The Atlanta Falcons got leveled on their home turf vs. a high-flying Seahawks team and the Cowboys never really got it going vs. the Rams. We expect a better effort out of both, but who will cover? Get Jay’s bet here!
Georgia Tech stunned the world last week as they beat FSU straight up as a huge underdog. Can they do it again vs. a tough UCF team? Get Jay’s take on how this Week 3 NCAA football matchup will play out here!
It’ll be interesting to see how the Niners come out after blowing last season’s Super Bowl. Our guess is strong! While it’d be asinine to predict a Week 1 blowout, the possibility has legs. This is a bad matchup for the Cards, as SF is strong where Zona is weak. See Jay’s full preview and pick to cover the spread here!
One of the better Week 2 NCAA football matchups takes place Saturday when the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets travel to Tallahassee to take on the Florida State Seminoles. FSU comes in as -12.5 favorites. To refresh your memory, an ineffective Willie Taggart was relieved of duties and the Noles are now led by Mike Norvell who did a heck of a job with the Memphis Tigers at 12-1 last season. You better believe he’ll be pulling out all the stops to get a “W” in his first ACC game, however, Jay thinks there’s more total than betting the over/under rather than the spread. Get his full take on the game here!
“Real” college football starts in Week 2 as the Clemson Tigers travel to Truist Field to battle the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in ACC action. Not long ago, star QB Trevor Lawrence was politicking for there to be a 2020 season and it wasn’t looking good, but here we are! Clemson has been installed as -32.5 road favorites, which falls into a 35% ATS win rate. See Jay’s take and if he thinks they can overcome the nastiness of the tricky 32.5 point spread.
The Dallas Cowboys need this win BAD! The Redskins lost their starting QB Dwayne Haskins to an ankle injury. So why is Jay betting on Washington plus the points? Get his full take why here!
There’s a difference of opinion in the Predictem office on this one. Jay thinks the Georgia Bulldogs have enough tools in the shed to get it done. Others question Georgia’s motivtion to play their best in the Sugar Bowl after their National Championship hopes were crushed. At time of print, it’s not yet clear if D’Andre Swift will sit. My bet is he will.
Two teams who have been statistically eliminated and that are out of the playoff picture go at it in Week 16 in Indianapolis. At this point, the Carolina Panthers seem to be playing for Christian McCaffrey to become the NFL’s first 1000 yard rusher and 1000 yard receiver. Their defense has stunk profusely and they can’t stop the run. The Colts, who are led by Frank Reich, stink but not quitters. They’ll be using the last two contests to determine who’ll be on next year’s roster.
