Rutgers +13.5 at Michigan State – Expect anything less?! Look, this program had a leader they didn’t believe in for a few years. There is guidance now, and there’s plenty of transfers to go around! Rutgers adds QB Noah Verdal from from Nebraska, Safety Brendon White from Ohio State, WR Cruickshank from Wisconsin, and a handful of others! I think this is the perfect opening matchup for them because Michigan State is in transition. The difference is they lost a good coach and replaced him with hopefully a good coach. RU lost Coach Ash, the players are probably hyped!
Rutgers 21 Michigan State 20 !

Maryland +11 at Northwestern – Northwestern doesnt feel like a double digit favorite type to me. Their offense is roughhhhh and even against a swiss cheese defense in Maryland, i think this stays close. Maryland needs to unleash Tua’s brother and put points up on the board!
Northwestern 30 Maryland 21

Rest of Big Ten Leans Illinois +19.5 Go Lovie Smith // Ohio State -26.5 Fields wants Heisman numbers // Iowa -3.5 No Rondale Moore // Penn State -5.5 yuck // Minnesota +3 Row The Boat!

Titans Steelers Under 50.5 – Two unbeatens go up against each other in a battle of Titans rush attack vs Steelers physical defense. King Henry has been basically unstoppable, but his foe this week won’t back down from anyone. This will get cut close but I don’t think we’ll crack 50 here. The Steelers have only faced one good rush attack and that was last week vs the Browns where they limited Hunt and Co to 7 points. Pittsburgh’s offense is nothing spectacular and they are punting the ball 4 times a game which is 10th in the NFL. If they can make the Titans punt 4 as well then there shouldn’t be enough possessions for the 50+ point game.
Steelers 24 Titans 23

Patriots -2 vs 49ers – The Niners are riding high and the Patriots are low. Belicheck wont have his team this lost two weeks in a row. He’ll gameplan like no other for the Niners. Shannahan is no joke on the other side but I’ll trust Belicheck more. This game comes down to coaching for me, with them being so evenly matched. The Niners are also so banged up, and only two weeks ago Jimmy G was benched for a mix of injuries and not looking good. Yes, this is his first return, but I’m not fearful of him. George Kittle is the best Tight End in the game but Belicheck will do things like bracket him with the McCourty twins to try and neutralize him.
Patriots 21 Niners 17

Cardinals Seahawks Over 55.5 – The new Sunday Night game should bring fireworks! The Cardinals are 0-6 with the over/under, and this is the perfect matchup to break that. Yes, 56 is a lot of points, but Seattle doesn’t believe in defense anymore. The Cardinals play at a quick tempo being in the top third in plays per game at 66, they just sometimes struggle to punch in the rock. Their defense hasn’t been bad, they just get the hottest offense in the game though so it wont matter. Seattle leads the league in yards per play at 6.6, so they make it count when they have the rock. This has Big 12 Football written all over it!
Seahawks 35 Cardinals 34
