Premium Picks:
Wednesday (October 5th) – GA Southern vs Arkansas St
(Vegas GA Southern -7 ) (Game Picker GA Southern by 12.85 )
MOSTLY CLOUDY, SOUTH WIND 4-9. GAME TEMP 78, RH 66% HEAT INDEX 81
GA Southern leads every statistical category in this game except for home field advantage. There is a major mismatch with the GA Southern rush offense (8th) vs the Arkansas St rush defense (123rd). Arkansas St is coming off a loss to FCS Central Arkansas. GA Southern has faired pretty well defensively against a decent strength of schedule. Look for GA Southern to control the tempo by piling up yards on the ground and to cover the spread in this one.
Saturday (October 8th) – Northern Illinois vs W Michigan
(Vegas W Michigan -17 ) (Game Picker W Michigan by 21.33 )
W Michigan has rolled out to a 4-0 start to the season including a 49-10 beat down of rival C Michigan this past week. The difference in this game should be W Michigan’s ability to move the ball on the ground against N Illinois. N Illinois’s starting QB is out with a hamstring injury. Combined with a very stingy defense and a much tougher strength of schedule thus far, W Michigan should be able to roll in this game and cover the spread. NIL-QB-Drew Hare-OUT
MOSTLY CLOUDY, NORTHWEST WIND 3-8. GAME TEMP 57, RH 47%
Toledo vs E Michigan
(Vegas Toledo -17 ) (Game Picker Toledo by 19.9 )
Toledo came within an eyelash of beating BYU on the road last week. Toledo put up 52 points on the BYU defense, but struggled on defense against the Cougars. There is a serious mismatch with the Toledo pass offense (3rd) versus the E Michigan pass defense (101st). Toledo has played a much tougher schedule and should roll late in a high scoring game to cover the spread.
PARTLY SUNNY, NORTHWEST WIND 6-11. GAME TEMP 64, RH 38%
Alabama vs Arkansas
(Vegas Alabama -13.5 ) (Game Picker Alabama by 16.05 )
This was a close game the last time Alabama played at Arkansas so Alabama will be ready. Alabama has been clicking on defense since the Ole Miss game and has Tony Brown back after serving a four game suspension. Coach Saban has been able to get some reps for the 2nd and 3rd stringers the past couple of weeks thus allowing the starters to rest after a brutal early season schedule. Jalen Hurts is looking more comfortable every week and seems to be using the ample weapons on the Alabama offense effectively. With the talent Alabama has on both sides of the ball, there are only a handful of teams that can stay within a couple of touchdowns of the Crimson Tide this year. Arkansas is not one of them. Arkansas did beat a defensively poor TCU team earlier this year, but struggled mightily against a defensively strong Texas AM. Look for Alabama to cover the spread in this one.
