week one matchups the Northern Illinois huskys are set to face off against the fifth ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish at NRE Dame Stadium on Saturday afternoon the game will be broadcast live on NBC and peacock making it a must-watch event the Huskies come into this contest Riding High after a dominant 54-15 victory over the Western Illinois leathernecks meanwhile the Fighting Irish are also entering this game with momentum having secured a 23-13 road win against the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical A's last Saturday NRE Dame has consistently demonstrated its ability to dominate the field thanks to a roster briming with Talent the Fighting Irish showcased one of the best pass defenses in the country during week one allowing only 100 passing yards in addition running back Jeremy alov proved his worth by effectively moving the ball against a tough defense while the Huskies have shown they can find the end zone They are unlikely to do so with much success in this matchup although laying nearly 30 points might seem daunting it's worth noting that Notre Dame began last season with back-to-back victories of 30 points or more over similar opponents such as navy and Tennessee state the preparation for week two has been markedly different for these two teams Northern Illinois crws passed football championship subdivision full Western Illinois by 39 points whereas NRE Dame took on the challenge of facing a ranked Texas Agricultural and Mechanical team on the road emerging Victorious by 10 points despite being the underdog it's fair to say that Texas Agricultural and Mechanical would likely defeat Western Illinois by a much larger margin potentially by 70 points while Notre Dame may not win by such a lops side score here they should still comfortably cover the 30-point spread the talent gap between the Fighting Irish and the huskys is simply too large to ignore Northern Illinois quarterback Ethan Hampton spent last season on the bench while Notre Dame Riley Leonard was orchestrating upsets for Duke in the Atlantic Coast Conference with NRE Dame returning to All-American Defenders and having finished last season among the top 10 in points allowed in yards per game they are poised for an easier challenge in this matchup therefore the NRE Dame Fighting Irish to win and cover the spread as favorites is our full game side pick when considering the total points it becomes clear that there is a narrow path to hitting the under while still expecting NRE Dame to cover such a large spread however the more likely scenario is that the game will go over the projected total with NRE Dame potentially reaching that number on their own although Leonard had an up and down performance in his debut as Notre Dame's quarterback he faced a hostile environment and a Southeastern Conference defense expect significant Improvement in this game as not oran's receivers should be able to create more separation allowing for more deep passing opportunities the combination of love and price in NRE Dame's backfield will keep the offense moving and the scoreboard ticking while Northern Illinois won't replicate their 54o output from their opener they should manage to complete a few scoring drives to contribute to the over thus over the projected total is our full game total pick Middle Tennessee State versus om miss the Middle Tennessee blue Raiders will head to Oxford Mississippi this Saturday to face off against the number six ranked om Miss Rebels at bot Hemingway Stadium little Tennessee started their season on a positive note with a 32-25 victory over Tennessee Tech the game was clinched with a thrilling 30-yard touchdown run by Frank peasant in the final 16 seconds on the other hand Miss began their season with a statement delivering a dominating 76 to0 win over Ferman the Miss Rebels are expected to dominate the Middle Tennessee blue Raiders in their upcoming Saturday afternoon matchup with that in mind I'm confidently backing the rebels at minus 41 in this contest mle Tennessee even by group of five standards has struggled coming off a disappointing 2023 season where they finished with a 4 to8 record they faced a top 10 Southeastern Conference Team last season and were soundly beaten by 49 points in their season opener this year middle Tennessee's performance was far from convincing as they barely managed to secure a home win against and football championship subdivision opponent in stark contrast om Miss appears to be on a mission this year building on a strong 2023 season their week one demolition of Ferman where they cruise to a 76 to0 Victory shows that the rebels aren't inclined to let up even when comfortably ahead Jackson Dart who looked exceptional in the opener will aim to continue his impressive form in this matchup Miss showcase their offensive Firepower by scoring 76 points in their first game while their defense allowed just 172 yards of total offense meanwhile Middle Tennessee though victorious in their opener required a last second touchdown to Edge past Tennessee Tech a team far inferior to the caliber of om miss the rebels offense should operate with ease particularly with quarterback Jackson Dart who is poised to exploit middle Tennessee's vulnerable secondary the blue Raiders have struggled against the spread failing to cover in four of their last five games and covering just once in their last six September outings on the contrary om Miss has covered the spread in four of their last five September Games and four of their last five we 2 matchups therefore the Old Miss Rebels to win and cover the spread as favorites is our full game side pick while Middle Tennessee might not be the most formidable opponent they did manage to score 32 points in week one and have retained much of their offensive core from last season which should result in some improvement however the rebels are an offensive Juggernaut capable of putting up all 64 points needed for the over by themselves as evidenced by their 76 to0 thrashing of firman last week in fact that score line could have been even more lopsided as they were leading 73 to0 after after just three quarters Jackson dart's performance with over 400 passing yards and five touchdowns on only 27 attempts suggests that he is poised to torch the blue Raiders defense in this game as well miss is likely to score early and frequently potentially amassing enough points on their own to push the total over the projected line while Middle Tennessee May struggle offensively they should manage to put up some points late in the game against oh Miss's second and third string players historically the total has gone over in 13 of Middle Tennessee last 20 games when they were the underdog similarly the total has gone over in four of old Miss's last six games and in four of their last five Saturday matchups therefore over the projected total is our full game total pick South Florida versus Alabama the south Florida Bulls are poised to make a significant impact this season especially after their commanding 48 to3 victory at home against the Bethune cookman Wildcats on Saturday Junior quarterback Byron Brown will be aiming to El Elevate his performance in this upcoming game in the previous matchup he completed 13 of 20 passes for 152 yards while also making an impact on the ground with eight rushes for 74 yards averaging an impressive 9.3 yards per carry and scoring a rushing touchdown meanwhile the fourth ranked Alabama Crimson Tide are firing on all cylinders following their dominant 63 to0 home win over the Western Kentucky Hill Toppers on Saturday Junior quarterback Jaylen milro delivered an exceptional performance to despite limited playing time he completed seven of nine passes for 200 yds through three touchdown passes and added to his stat line with 10 carries for 79 yards averaging 7.9 yds per attempt and scored two rushing touchdowns last season the Bulls gave the Crimson Tide a serious challenge going into halftime tied 3 to3 after forcing Alabama to punt on their first five possessions however this year's Alabama team is quite different despite this South Florida boasts a fastpaced and explosive offense that could keep the game within a 30-point margin the Bulls feature a capable dual threat quarterback surrounded by talented Playmakers in last year's contest South Florida frequently moved the ball into Alabama territory but faltered on crucial fourth Downs converting only two of six attempts that experience should benefit the Bulls as they prepare for week two of the season if the south Florida defense can match the intensity they displayed against Alabama last year it will be difficult for the tide to cover the spread the Bulls managed to record five sacks in that game thanks to frequent blitzes on third downs but their offense now more capable and confident in finishing drives the defense only needs to hold firm on a couple of key possessions to avoid a blowout the Alabama Crimson Tide has been dominant against the spread covering in 11 of their last 14 games as favorites by 30 or more points most of these games occurred under the guidance of Coach Nick Sabin while Alabama certainly has the talent to run away with the game it's worth remembering that South Florida managed to hold them to a tie at halftime last season with a dynamic playmaker at quarterback the Bulls should be able to put together a few sustained drives to keep the game closer than expected additionally Alabama may be looking ahead to upcoming games against Wisconsin and Georgia making this a potential Trap game with a new coaching staff in Place South Florida should feel somewhat confident after last year's performance given these factors the south Florida Bulls to cover the spread as underdogs is our full game side pick Alabama will be a formidable opponent to slow down ESP especially if jayen milro continues to improve as a passer his dual threat abilities make him a dangerous weapon behind an experienced offensive line running back Jace mullen's big play potential is another threat to those betting on the under but he's not the only backfield threat Jam Miller also averaged an impressive 10.8 yards per carry in week one last season South Florida's defense surrendered 49 or more points in four American Athletic Conference games and their secondary which features several new faces will be tested against wide receiver jackor Brooks who had two receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns in week one along with other talented Alabama pass catchers eager to make their Mark Byron Brown was one of only two players last season to accumulate both 3,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards joining LSU's Heisman Trophy winner Jaden Daniels Brown managed over 90 rushing yards against Alabama last year and could have gained even more if sack yardage didn't count if he can apply that level of pressure to the Alabama defense throughout the game it could wear them down over time with tough matchups against Wisconsin and Georgia looming Alabama coach Nick Sabin might opt to bring in reserve Defenders if the score becomes lopsided both the south Florida bulls and Alabama Crimson Tide showcase strong offensive capabilities in their season openers and that Trend should continue both teams have demonstrated the ability to run the football effectively but quarterbacks Byron Brown and Jen milro should also generate explosive plays therefore over the projected total is our full game total pick that's all for
