WASHINGTON -18.5

If you haven’t been following college football this season, this line may look funny. Let me tell you now that it’s probably a little bit low; the UCLA Bruins are a bad, bad football team. They haven’t scored more than 14 points in any game and in my opinion, it’s because Chip Kelly’s offense is now the status quo. It used to be revolutionary but these days it’s like everyone else. It’s going to stay that way against Washington State because Mike Leach has one of his best defensive units since coming to Pullman. They’re allowing just 16 points per game this season and a poultry 346 yards per game. UCLA, who’s averaging less than 300 yards themselves on offense, will be no match for Leach’s high-powered offense.

Washington State 34-13

The Terriers’ latest loss came to Samford this past Saturday night at Gibbs Stadium, as Wofford lost a fifth-straight game to Samford, 21-14, in Wofford’s SoCon opener. Saturday night’s meeting between Wofford and Gardner-Webb will mark the eighth all-time clash between the two programs, with Wofford holding the 5-2 edge. Wofford posted a 45-14 win over the Bulldogs last season in Boiling Springs, NC, and have won three-straight against the Bulldogs. That came on the heels of back-to-back losses to the Bulldogs in 2013 and ‘14. Wofford showed some glimmers of getting things fixed offensively in last Saturday’s setback to Samford, rushing for 272 yards, led by quarterback Joe Newman’s 96 yards on the ground.

However, it was once again the lack of really any big play threats in the passing game which ended up being costly. Wofford is averaging just 13.5 PPG and just 292.0 YPG offensively through their first two games of the 2019 season. Defensively, the Terriers have looked pretty solid, limiting foes to just 24.5 PPG and 329.5 YPG through the first two outings, led by cornerback Dimitri Redwood’s nine tackles. Gardner-Webb is coming off its first win of the season, which was a 21-12 win over North Carolina Central. Head coach Carroll McCray’s club has some offensive pieces, including redshirt sophomore quarterback Jordan Smith, who has completed 22-of-54 passes for 280 yards, but has thrown four picks and no scoring passes to this point in 2019.

Jaylin Cagle is a solid ground threat for the Bulldogs, having rushed for 265 yards and four scores through the first three games, and that includes having faced two FBS foes. I think the Bulldogs keep it close and could make things very interesting before the HOF night concludes in Spartanburg.

WOFFORD WINS 20-17. 

CFB 100 DIME UNDER RATED TOTAL GOW

68 UNDER

The Bears have an All-America candidate at linebacker, in Will Coneway, who has 27 tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss and 0.5 sack through the first three games of the season. The Paladins counter with some excellent linebackers of their own, including reigning Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Week Braden Gilby, who made his first start Saturday and finished the contest with 12 tackles, a tackle-for-loss and forced a fumble. All-America outside linebacker Adrian Hope had a big game against the Bears last season, and like Gilby, made his first start for Furman last Saturday. He has nine tackles, 2.5 tackles-for-loss and 1.5 sacks through the first three games of the season. With the past two meetings having been close wins in favor of the Paladins, expect the same Saturday. Also, expect Clay Hendrix’s Paladins to squeak out another close win over his close win in Greenville.

FURMAN 34-23

63 UNDER

60% of the bets are on the under, but the books want to create a trap for the public. I have 3 different algorithms for this game. Before last season’s game between these teams the total had gone Under in four straight meetings. Neither team has lit it up on offense this season and the Golden Flashes will control this game on the ground with a great rushing attack. Both defenses have not played well, but have played solid teams, especially Kent State. In this game, points will be at a premium and the Under is the smart pick.

Kent St wins 30-27, Bowling Green 28-24, Kent St 31-23

FALCONS +107

The Colts are a very resilient football team, led by a great head coach in Frank Reich. And no matter what, they are going to put up a good fight on Sunday with home-field advantage on their side. That said, it’s hard to overlook the injuries. The Colts will be without Darius Leonard, their best defender, and top cornerback Pierre Desir and running back Marlon Mack also are dealing with injuries. No. 1 wide receiver T.Y. Hilton also isn't expected to be at 100 percent on Sunday because of a quad issue. And with all due respect to legendary Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, he can’t be trusted to make an extra point right now, much less kick a 50-yard game-winner. It’s simply too much for the Colts to overcome in a matchup that seems to be setting up nicely for the Falcons.

I think the Ravens will give the Chiefs an incredibly tough time. The Ravens will bottle up the Chiefs’ run game which will force Mahomes to throw more. While I have confidence in Mahomes, I think the Chiefs will put up 4 touchdowns, and continue to wear down the Ravens defense. 

The Ravens are a new squad, and I like Lamar Jackson to put up some touchdowns as well. This game is tough to decide on who wins, but i like the over here. 

Chiefs win 31-28. Lay the over.
