Picks for 9/30/23

Rotation #125-126
Clemson/Syracuse Under 53.5 (win)
I am shocked the total in this game is this high. Clemson has struggled on offense this year as they are breaking in a new quarterback with Cade Klubnik and are breaking in new starters on the offensive line. Syracuse needs a better offense as they need more athletic receivers, an adequate offensive line, and an inexperienced running game. The Tigers’ defense should be able to create pressure all afternoon. Look for a lower-scoring match unless there are crazy special teams and defensive scores. Take the Under.

Boston College -4.5 over Virginia (loss)
Boston College is not the best team in the world, but they have the advantage of playing at home against a Virginia team that can’t get their offense going. The Cavaliers miss departed QB Brennan Armstrong, as their group of quarterbacks needs to gain the experience to win at this level. Virginia needs a sufficient running game and reliable targets to throw the ball to. Virginia has one of the worst offensive lines in college football and should struggle to score again today. Boston College has a veteran offensive line and can run the ball. The Eagles don’t have an overwhelming defense, but I expect them to contain Virginia today. Take Boston College.

Rotation #202
Ole Miss +2.5 over LSU (win)
LSU is an outstanding football team with talent up and down their lineup, but so does Ole Miss. The Rebels have excellent running backs and two quarterbacks with many college football starts. Duel-threat QB Jayden Daniels leads the Tigers and has a lot of targets to throw to. Ole Miss has a stacked defense; they have talent and depth at all three levels. Rebels’ QB Jaxson Dart can connect for big chunk plays, so we should witness an outstanding game. The key to this game will be the crowd and the big defensive plays on the Rebels’ side. Take Ole Miss.

Rotation #144
Duke +5.5 over Notre Dame (loss)
Tonight’s game features two evenly matched teams, as Notre Dame QB Sam Hartman and the Blue Devils signal caller Riley Leonard are outstanding players. Both teams have a great running game that can break off big gainers. Both teams have solid defensive units and are almost mirror images regarding raw talent. Notre Dame will be without wide receiver Jayden Thomas tonight, making it hard on their passing game. Notre Dame might let Ohio State beat them twice, as their minds are still on last week’s game brutal loss. Wallace Wade Stadium will be rocking tonight, so the home underdog is tempting. Look for this game to come down to the wire with the Blue Devils squeaking by. Take Duke
