Irish in off rare blowout win, blasting New Mexico (country's worst "D"), 66-14. Book: 5 touchdowns with 0 interceptions, with 59, 65, 37, 54, & 20 yard TD passes. Note that both Louisville & New Mexico out rushed the Notre Dame. Georgia only 11 points from a 10-0 ATS run, & well remember being nosed out of last year's playoffs

Go ahead, figure out the Spartans, who have averaged 7.8 points per game in 5 of their last 7 games, & 39.5 points per game in the other 2. But rank #2 in rushing "D". Dog is 14-2-1 ATS in Northwestern games, with the 2 misses by just 7 & 3½ points. Johnson 113th passer in the land, but we pull pup lever

Frogs are continuing their fine play. Just 10 pts from a 10-1 ATS run, & fresh off a 34-13 pounding of Purdue, with 346-23 rushing yard edge, behind Anderson's 179 rushing yards (11.2 yards per rush).  SMU got another 219 passing yards from Buechele (290.3 yards per game), mauling Texas State's 2nd-worst "D". Spread very doable.

As always, the Owls just keep on chugging. Have been one of the premier plays for the last 4 years, with current 28-10 ATS run, which includes last week's upset of a smoking Maryland team which entered off a 43½ pt cover in 63-20 rout of a decent Syracuse squad. The Bulls have been decimated, having lost 12 starters from last year's team which posted a 10-2 record in regular season games, including an upset of these Owls. Thus, the revenge motive slips into the picture. UB's 35-17 loss to Liberty last week (24-pt line loss), seals it.

Rating: 3 Unit Big-10 Play of the Day

Payback for last year's Wolverine stomping of the Badgers, with a 320-187 rushing yard edge. Wisconsin hasn't exactly taken on the cream thus far, but cannot argue with 110-0 point edge, nor its balanced 217 rushing yards per game, 300 passing yards per game "O", as well as its 107.5 yards per game "D". First road game for Michigan, with the host on an 11-5 ATS run in UM contests. Tables turned from year ago

Rating: 4 Unit PAC-12 Game of the Week

Can this be anything but? Sure, the Cougars lost 8 starters, including QB Minshew, but are 11-2 ATS at home, & Gordon has picked up baton, by leading the nation, at 441.3 passing yards per game. Bruins continue along their feeble way: 17 points from a 7-34 line run, & can't run: 78 yards per game.

Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week

They keep on doing it. Knights now on 28-1 SU run, with accompanying 17-6-1 spread run, topping 37 points in 24 regular season games since '17. A 604-253 yards per game edge this year, with Gabriel at 9 touchdowns with 0 interceptions. Pitt at just 87.3 rushing yards per game, with a 117-70 point deficit in its last 6 lined games. Sure QB Pickett is at 293 passing yards per game, but Panthers just missed on the one that they truly wanted (Penn State)

Hard to believe that it was 9 yrs ago, when "Beast Mode" had that incredible 67-yard TD run over the Saints in Wild Card. Seahawks were 10-point home dogs in that one ,& won 41-36. The status of Brees' thumb is of ultimate concern for New Orleans, & the NFL, quite frankly. Couldn't even pick up a ball with that damaged digit. First 2-0 start for Seattle since 2013. Wilson last week: 29-of-35 for 300 passing yards, 3 TDs, & 22 rushing yards. Since last year, he has 41 TD passes, & 7 Interceptions. Seahawks: 150+ rushing yards in 13 of their last 16 games

Seems NFL spreads are reaching new heights, with this a prime example: 3 TDs. First 2-0 start for 'Boys since '15. Dak has been superb. Check 26-of-30, 269 yards, 3 TDs, 1 pick, & 69 rushing yards. His 34 regular season wins since '16 are the second most in the NFL to Brady's 37. Zeke another 111 rushing yards & a TD. Dallas has now won 6 straight division games for the first time since '98-'99. What is going on in Miami, being outscored 102-10 this season. First team to lose consecutive game by 40+ points since '61 Raiders.

Pats have now outscored opponents, 76-3 this season. Three straight games without allowing a TD, first time Belichick has ever done that. It's the best point differential (+73) thru 2 games since the '75 Redskins. And 2nd biggest shutout win for Brady/Belichick era. Obviously can't continue, but bucking them seems fruitless. Pats are 3-0 ATS hosting the Jets, & a splendid 13-2 ATS off Miami.

No points for the Raiders in their last 9 possessions in 28-10 loss to KC, & have now lost 9-of-10 to the Chiefs. Carr just 198 passing yards & 1 touchdown with 2 interceptions, although passing Ken Stabler for most passing yards in Raider history. Check Viking "D" allowing TDs in their first 3 possessions. Cousins: 2 picks last week. His record: 0-17 in those tilts. Bounce back.
