TGIS Game of the Week

#5 LSU -2.5 vs #8 Florida State – 6:30pm

The Florida State hype has become a little out of control. To trust them to take on LSU as under a three point underdog with all the players LSU has coming back? That is a no for me. LSU wins this one in Orlando.

Prediction: LSU 34- Florida State 28

Top Picks of the Week

Thursday

NC State -14 at UConn 6:30pm

NC State brought in quarterback Brennan Armstrong and his old offensive coordinator, Robert Anai, from Virginia. Under Anai, Virginia put up 35 points per game. Expect the same with NC State who will be able to exploit a poor UConn defense. Line is only 14? We are taking NC State.

Florida +7 at #14 Utah UNDER 46 – 7:00pm

Cam Rising playing in this game is no sure thing as he is still limited in his recovery from the ACL tear from the Rose Bowl. Meanwhile, Florida’s defense is extremely strong and going against them is going to be no easy task for a backup quarterback. Utah’s defense is also strong so don’t expect many points, especially with the new running clock on first down limiting the amount of plays.. Finally, Florida getting 7 seven points is also way too many. Utah wins a low scoring 21-17 game.

Nebraska +7.5 at Minnesota UNDER 44 7:00pm

Over a touchdown is too many points for a questionable Minnesota offense. Especially with how many returning starters are coming back in Nebraska’s secondary. A low scoring, close game should be expected.

Saturday

Colorado at #17 TCU OVER 59.5 – 11:00am

The Colorado defense is full of transfers and not great depth. TCU should be able to take advantage. But Colorado still has the potential to put points up with QB Shaddeur Sanders, solid skill position players and no huddle offensive coordinator Sean Lewis.

Fresno State at Purdue -3.5 – 11:00am

So Fresno State lost star QB Jake Haener, four of their top wide receivers, and most of their defensive secondary. I am supposed to trust them going into Purdue and keeping it close against transfer QB Hudson Card? Give me Purdue.

Virginia at #12 Tennessee -27.5 – 11:00am

Virginia can’t score and is terrible, meanwhile Tennessee will let Joe Milton loose. Any questions?

Boise State at #10 Washington OVER 58 2:30pm

Both of these teams bring experienced offenses back from last year… especially Washington. On Washington’s defense I question the secondary. Points, points and more points.

Texas State +27.5 at Baylor – 6:00pm

I don’t trust Baylor to win by over four touchdowns. Texas State is also underrated after the transfers they brought in. Give me Texas State.

#21 North Carolina vs. South Carolina +3 – 6:30pm

The one part of South Carolina I don’t trust is the offensive line. But I also don’t trust North Carolina to take advantage. Give me the points, Spencer Rattler will get after the North Carolina secondary.

Sunday

Northwestern at Rutgers UNDER 40 – 11:00am

Do I need to even go into depth on this one? Rutgers has a sneaky good offense and a terrible offense. Northwestern is just bad across the board. Under all day.

#18 Oregon State at San Jose State +17 – 2:30pm

San Jose State looked good against USC as they found a solid QB with Chevan Cordeiro. At home against a run heavy Oregon State team? Ya, Spartans are covering.
