Ok, this Bills team is 1-1 ATS but is better than people think. Josh Allen ranks 4th in QBR and the Bills are taking better chances down field. They have some wonderful receivers there and did not catch the injury bug last week. The Rams really can’t say the same when they lost their rookie running back Cam Akers last week to a rib injury and Malcomb brown hurt his finger. Not good for a runningback for holding the ball because he will be taped up after minor surgery. The Rams also lost starting guard Joe Notebloom. A position of weakness for them. He might play but will be banged up and because of this, I see the Bills D getting to Jared Goff quickly unlike what the Cowboys and Eagles could do. I also think that the Covid restriction of the Rams being able to stay on the east coast affects this game as a bad travel spot. It threw off their plans per say and even if they expected this, they still have to travel. Gonna take the Bills -2 here to give the Rams their first L.
Buffalo -2.5 – 2 star premium shared
Houston vs Pittsburgh -4.5 O/U 45
Houston is starting out 0-2 and 0-2 ATS. How bad is this team is the question that needs to be asked? Lets look at the facts. They were a playoff team last year. That’s good. They have a stud QB. That’s good. They traded their other best player away for garbage. That’s bad. They have one of the worst coaches in NFL football. That is also bad. Here is the kicker. Who did they play their first 2 weeks of football? THE 2 BEST TEAMS IN THE NATION! The Texans are a desparate team right now but we have to at least put things in the perspective of whom they faced. They actually are middle of the road in yards per play ranking 16th at 5.6 and opponent yards per play ranking 19th at 5.9. I actually would argue that that’s not that bad considering their opponents. The Steelers on the other hand played a bad Giants team and a very injured and quarterbackless Broncos team and only average 5.7 yards per play on offense but a great 4.5 on defense. I want to see what the Steeler’s defense can do against a Deshawn Watson led offense myself. One thing that does stick out to me is that the Steelers aren’t the greatest favorite as of late. Since November 18, 2018 they are 2-10 as a favorite. The Steelers beat the Broncos by 5, but I don’t think that they beat the Texans by that much. I’ll take the desperate team with JJ Watt and DeShawn Watson.
Houston +4.5 – 1.5 star premium shared play
Refuse To Lose Teaser – Indianapolis to -5 and NY Giants to +10 – 2 star premium shared – Indi is passing 3 key numbers of 10, 7 and 6. NY Giants are at home and the 49ers are starting Mullens. Low total of 41 is teaser material.

Now this game is one that I have had circled for a while now. Auburn is the most intriguing team SEC team to me and I have them second best for now. They boost top 11 recruiting classes the last 3 years is very consistent. They lose some trenches to the draft but they return a decent amount of productions with 60% on both sides of the ball. I like how they return most of their skill positions with Seth Williams and Matthew Hill at WR. I love how they return Bo Nix at QB as well. Auburn hired Chad Morris as offensive coordinator who really didn’t get much of a shot at a Bielema decimated Arkansas team having only 2 years there before he got canned. My power ratings on them are 21 points better than the Average team. Kentucky on the other hand had so many quarterback injuries last year that WR Lynn Bowden had to start. Terry Wilson is the leader coming back with a 65% completion percentage. He is not as highly regarded as Bo Nix from Auburn tho. Kentucky had a nice returning production ranking 25th in the nation at 73% and a positive 1 net yard per play but their schedule was easy last year ranking 61st in the nation to Auburns ranking 2nd in difficulty. Kentucky has been recruiting in the 30s and are way past what they used to be as a team but they still have a very far way to go in order to compete with Auburn. I have Auburn by 15.25 points here and it is an easy decision for me. We gave this out at 7 but like it all the way to 10 at this price.
Auburn -7.5 – 2.5 star premium play
Florida State vs Miami -11 O/U 54
Mike Norvell has Covid 19 and I am not sure his assistants can do the same job preparing Florida State for a powerful Miami offense. Crazy enough, Norvell is still coaching with his computer screens and many cameras at different angles on the practice field. Not creepy at all.
Florida State had 2 weeks to prepare for this game but is that even enough with all of their problems that they have shown the last few years.
My power number is -13 on Miami but when I adjust for tempo, it passes the 14. They play fast, they have a good defense, they are playing at home the small crowd advantage will be there as well as the turnover chain.
The speed of Miami’s offense will be able to get margin like Central Florida does to all of their opponents. Miami averages 7.1 yards per play right now and it might stay there if not go up during their ACC schedule.
Miami -11.5 – 2 star premium shared play
Louisville vs Pittsburgh -3 O/U 55.5 – Louisville doesn’t play all that fast. Last year only 70 plays per game. They had lots of turnovers last week so I see them being mroe careful with the ball. Pitts got a solid D and scoring only 21 vs Syracuse isn’t a good look for the offense. Pittsburgh is a team that will try and control the possessions of the football by running the ball. They ranked 19th last year in rushing plays per game. I think the under has value here.

Boston College vs Duke – Duke was only outgained by 23 yards but BC had a 5-1 turnover ratio. Poor Redzone efficiency for Duke.
Tulsa vs OKlahoma State – Tulsa outgained Ok State by 1 yards 278-277 yet lost by 9. They also had a 1-2 turnover ratio. Spencer Sanders for the Pokes did get injured tho.
Miami vs Louisville – Louisville outgained Miami 516 to 485 yards but a 3-0 turnover ratio and Miami’s D was the factors. Miami is the better team.
Texas State vs Louisiana Monroe – ULM outgained Texas State 444-398 but a 2-1 turnover ratio hurt and some of those yards were garbage time. No adjustment for both teams.
