I don’t often like Ohio State unders but here we are. The defense should be poor per usual, they were solid under Haftley for one season, but have regressed. Replace all LB’s lost to the NFL and the secondary isn’t great. Offensively, OSU will pretty much be a here it is try and stop us team all season. They have an NFL OL, the top WR corps and probably the best freshman RB in the nation. They also have CJ Stroud who’s making a first start tonight in poor weather, on the road in a big conference game. Should be a good atmosphere for the home team and an early test for the Buckeyes. The reason I like this under is because both teams have massive OL and good running games. Minnesota should try to take advantage of the weather situation here and play a little keep away from the buckeye offense. Feel like that is their path to a competitive game late in the 4th. If this opens up it favors OSU big time. Fan of Tanner Morgan here, but again think weather limits both offenses some. Keep it on the ground, keep the clock moving, avoid special teams blunders/TOs and let’s cash a ticket to start the season. OSU 34 Minnesota 20

I like the Sooners to up into the 50's here. Rattler has an embarrassment of weapons surrounding him that will be tough to stop at any point tomorrow. Tulane now playing an unexpected road opener with the recent hurricane in Louisiana removing them from their home turf. That's quite a distraction, not sure what they focus will be for Tulane here, and this just has the makings of a 40 point blowout with all things considered. Talent alone is enough, throw in the distractions and this gets ugly quick.
3. Georgia / Clemson O 50.5 1.1/1
A lot of people look at this game and see a defensive battle, I think we see some offensive fireworks here. For me, JT Daniels is the game changer at QB that UGA needs to take the next step. Yes there are some pieces missing, but they recruit as good as anyone and have had plenty of time on the practice field. Plus it isn't like Clemson has been great defensively against good competition lately. The strength of the Clemson D is along the line, and Georgia always has a strong OL. The Georgia offense did a lot of good things, even before the transition to Daniels, so I expect they'll score plenty here. On the other side, Clemson with a new QB and RB. Although Uiagalelei isn't exactly coming in with no experience. He shined in some big spots filling in last year, and I have no doubts Dabo will unleash this kids talents tomorrow night. Higher scoring game than expected coming.
4. Iowa -3.5 2.75/2.5
Expectations are sky high for the Hoosiers this year, and they are a prime regression candidate. They fed off TO's last year, along with red zone success #'s that will be nearly impossible to duplicate. Think heading on the road to Kinnick is a difficult place to start, no it isn't a November night game but Iowa is a very solid football team. Won't make a ton of mistakes and beat themselves. The Iowa OL reloads yearly, they should dominate on the ground against a Hoosier D that ranked 110 against the run last year. Defensively, Iowa was top 5 against the run and have a veteran secondary. Hoosier QB Penix Jr coming off a torn ACL, going to be a lot of pressure on him and again just think this is a difficult place for him to make his return. Iowa by double digits.
5. LSU -2.5 1.1/1
Not a ton to say here. I like the Tigers to bounce big back this season, thought last year they had some early adversity and injury issues. Add in the weird covid season and these guys just packed it in and went through the motions. They have a DB who is going to be a staple on an NFL defense, and I feel they'll be able to cheat a little tomorrow and make DTR beat them. If he does than so be it. If the OL can protect Max then LSU will move it just fine. He was ok last year, 8:1 td/int ratio. Under a FG im on the Tigers.
