    Analysis

    I love Nebraska in this spot. Ohio has a new head coach and a completely retooled roster. They should be a good fade candidate early in the year. This looks like Matt Rhule's most talented roster in Lincoln, and I think Anthony Colandrea is an upgrade at quarterback over the inconsistent Dylan Raiola. The Bobcats have a new quarterback and five new offensive linemen. Look for Nebraska's defense to dominate in a 45-10 kind of win at home. I'm playing this one early because I expect it to close around -25.5.

    Analysis

    One of the top teams in the FCS is Tarleton State and have already knocked off an FBS team on the road last season in West Point. They're explosive on offense thanks to their passing attack and will provide a challenge to the Falcons secondary. I like them to firmly strengthen their FBS case in the eyes of those conferences that will be watching.

    Picked: Sep 3 @ 2:56pm

    Analysis

    We got to a buy-low, sell-high situation with Indiana, who starts the season with its absolute highest rating rather than building on a number like they did last year when they won the National Championship. Coach Curt Cignetti's third season at Indiana starts with new quarterback Josh Hoover, the senior who spent the last 3 years at TCU. Last year, Indiana started the season at home against the Old Dominion and came away with the 27-14 victory. North Texas is kind of a wild card; even though they come off a 12-2 season, they have a new head coach and don't bring back any starters from last season. Still, too many points. I'm on North Texas.

    Picked: Sep 4 @ 12:29pm

    Analysis

    The Cover 3 Podcast asked Curt Cignetti which wins made him the angriest last year and he immediately went to Indiana's opener against Old Dominion in which the Hoosiers struggled. Knowing Cig, something tells me there will be a point of emphasis on this game.

    Spread
    WIN
    Picked: Sep 4 @ 4:24pm

    Analysis

    I'm going to lay the big number with Syracuse here. I expect the Orange to be one of the most improved teams in the country after suffering a ton of big injuries last season. New Hampshire lost to Albany by 14 in the opener and allowed a whopping 374 rushing yards. If you are wondering if that was more Albany's offense than New Hampshire's defense, the Danes managed just 72 rushing yards against a below-average Buffalo front seven on Thursday. Fran Brown will look to run it up here after last year's disappointing season. Lay up to 34.5 for a half unit.
