2-1 night with both NFL Player Props hitting and we only lost the parlay because SMU couldn’t score from the 3 yard line when it was 1st and goal. If you told me before the game we would just need SMU to score from the 3 yard line to win our bet I’d have put every cent I own on it 🤷🏻♂️ still a winning day and on to Saturday!

Texas ML / Tennessee ML / Oregon ML (-114) 🥇
I know 2 of the 3 teams are on the road and that can be scary but I trust both teams in their matchups.
Texas is on the road at Michigan and Michigan struggled offensively last week with just 269 yards of offense while #3 Texas had 545 yards of offense. Hook ‘em.
Tennessee is on the road vs NC State who was in a ball game with Western Carolina last week. LOL. I expect Tennessee to roll.
Oregon will be home and look to be the easiest leg of the parlay despite some struggles last week even though they won. Boise St not going to play much defense so I’ll take the Oregon offense to light it up.
12:00 EST
Arkansas / Oklahoma St Over (61.5) 🥈
Arkansas scored 70 and Oklahoma St scored 44 last week. Both performances were against less talented defenses but it still shows the fire power that both of these teams have and this one should be a track meet.
OK ST gave up some big plays to South Dakota St (40, 60, 29) so Arkansas should break off some big ones.
The Arkansas defense allowed the third most 20+ yard rushing plays in the SEC last year so OK ST Ollie Gordon II who led the Nation with 1,732 yards should run wild against them.
3:30 EST
Teaser 6 point
Maryland (-2.5) / Auburn (-5.5) 🥉
Maryland opened up their season by dropping a 50 burger on UConn and they looked great on both sides of the ball.
Mich St won 16-10 vs FAU but that was after their QB was telling everyone and their brother to take the over in his pre game interview. He threw 0 TDs & 2 INTs for the record.
I don’t expect Maryland to drop 50 again but I do think they have more offense than Mich St in this one.
Auburn will host Cal and looking back to last week Cal was only up 14-13 and got out gained 234-109 in the first half vs a weak UC Davis team before pulling away in the 2nd half. Not a good prep for a road trip against an SEC team like Auburn.
Auburn won 73-3 last week vs their weak opponent.
I like teasing these two lines down even though I think both of these teams will win comfortably.
7:00 EST
Player Prop
Jalen Milroe Rushing Yards Over (45.5) 🥇B (like last week)
He covered on one play for us last week and I called it out in the write up so we are going right back to him this week!
This is a game he should be plenty motivated for because he was benched for the game against South Florida last year and it was probably the worst offensive performance in the Saban Era.
79 yards on 10 attempts for Milroe last week and he should be able to get whatever he wants again this week.
