Friday Locks | Is Cincinnati Due For A Letdown?

There’s the potential for a Cincinnati letdown here. Why I don’t think that’ll happen I do believe that it’s entirely possible that the Bearcats can win comfortably and still not cover a 29.5 point spread.

Friday Locks | Can Georgia Cover By More Than Five Touchdowns?

M. HofeldSeptember 24, 2021 No Comments Army Black Knights Football Baylor Bears Football Clemson Tigers Football Colorado State Football Fresno State Football Georgia Bulldogs Football Iowa Hawkeyes Football Iowa State Cyclones Football Miami Ohio Football NC State Football Notre Dame Football Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma State Cowboys SMU Mustangs Football Stanford Cardinal Football TCU Horned Frogs Football Texas Tech Red Raiders Football UCLA Bruins Football UNLV Rebels Football Vanderbilt Football Wisconsin Badgers Football

I’m a firm believer in the Georgia defense, just not so much in the offense yet. Not that Vanderbilt is going to have the ability to stop the Bulldogs though. I see some long, sustained drivers, from JT Daniels and company. I’m just not sure they will score at the type of pace required to cover a spread that’s greater than five touchdowns.

Friday Locks | Kansas Is A Huge Underdog At Coastal Carolina

M.

Coastal Carolina is 2-0 against Kansas over the last two years and those games were played in Lawrence. This will probably be the easiest contest of the three for the Chanticleers and while most people immediately think of quarterback Grayson McCall when Coastal Carolina is mentioned, I actually think it’s Jeffrey Gunter and the defense that’ll be in for a big night.

Friday Locks | No Confidence In The Vols

The Aggies are looking to score a few style points in the event that Clemson suffers another loss at the hands of ND this weekend. Given that fact and a two score spread, it seems obvious for TAMU to cover. Let’s not forget this is a 3-6 Tennessee squad that scored more than 21 points only once over the past seven games.

Ohio State is in a difficult situation due to the number of games on their schedule. I expect there to be some significant style points here against an inept Michigan State team.

The Hoosiers are better offensively and defensively than Michigan State. Who would have thought we’d be saying that?

This BYU team seems like the real deal. Zach Wilson should be getting more Heisman buzz shortly. This game should be a really fun one to watch.

Friday Locks | Showdown In Morgantown

Keep doubting the Wildcats. That’s fine. They’re going to keep proving haters wrong. I’m not sure how in the world the Mountaineers are favored in this one, aside from the fact that it’s being played in Morgantown, but give me Kansas State for the win.
