Texas Tech v. Ole Miss – This game is going to be a great way to kickoff the 2018 college football season, as these teams travel to Houston Texas to take each other on. Now Texas Tech is only returning 31% of their offense but their defense is a whole different story. The D is returning 96% of its defense with 10 returning starters, the defense was lights out last year not only in the Big 12 but the entire nation. Ole Miss comes into this game returning 64% on O & 62% on defense. Ole Miss does have some big play makers returning on the offense, which is going to be a fun battle with Techs defense. My #s have Tech -3.5. One of the things I factored in was the re-build state that ole miss is in dating back to last years problems. PLAYING TEXAS TECH -2 for 1U
West Virginia v Tennessee – This game is going to be a great follow up after the Texas Tech Ole Miss game. West Virginia & that high octane offense lead by Will Grier is taking on the Vols out of the SEC. Now everybody knows about Will Grier by now, but they’re also returning 2 of the best WRs in the league. Now the Vols are a different story, they’re definitely in a re-building stage with a new head coach. West Virginia is returning 72% on offense & 57% on defense. Tennessee comes in returning 58% on offense & 61% on defense. My #s have this game WVU – 12.5. I think WVU offense will wear down the Vols throughout the game as WVU covers & start their 2018 campaign with a W. PLAYING WEST VIRGINIA -12.5 for 1U
