Georgia Tech had a tough year last season, as they transitioned out of the triple option. They now have a year under their belt, and a whole lot of experience. They went to Florida St. as a +13 point under dog, and won outright 16-13. They trailed 10-0 at the half, but anyone watching could see who the better team was. Tech drove to the Florida St. 40 on 4 drives, 3 of which became red-zone opportunities and they came away with 0 points. The Game was all Tech despite the final score as they doubled the Seminoles yards per play of 3.8 producing 7.6 of their own. C. Florida saw 10 players opt out this season due to covid-19, and Tech has a game under its belt, while UCF has not taken the field yet. I think if this game were later in the season, the line would look right, but not under this year’s circumstances. I like Georgia Tech to win this one straight up, but will not press my luck as +7.5 looks like a great bet. Make the play on Georgia Tech.

The Baylor Bears saw their game last week get cancelled due to players on LA Tech having covid. It is interesting to note that their depth chart released for this week shows 4 starters missing, and the immediate suspect is covid. The Bears, as it is, return just 9 starters, so this will make that 5. There may be other casualties as well. There is another starter that will be missing as center Xavier Newman is out (injury related). The Bears are a very young team, and they were hurt by covid as they got 0 practices in during the spring. Houston is on the other end of the spectrum. The Cougars will be one of the most experienced team in the country with 19 starters returning. better yet, they managed to get 8 practices in during the spring. So far the team with more practices than their opponent is 11-5 ATS, including 4-0 ATS when they have a 6 or more practice advantage. That still matters here as neither of these teams has played a game yet. Houston is 12-3-1 ATS in its last 16 as a road dog, while Baylor just 5-14 ATS in their last 19 as a home favorite. This line has dropped from the opener, but still think Houston has a good chance to be an outright winner here. Make the play on Houston.

It is becoming pretty clear that covid-19 will continue to have an influence on the 2020-21 NCAAF season. Last week LA Tech saw their game vs Baylor cancelled due to the fact that they had 38 covid cases. This is a team that has just 8 returning starters as it is, and with a challenging depth chart, they are going to be far behind. Even if many of the players return, they have missed a lot of practice time. Southern Miss had a horrific opener as they lost to South Alabama as a nearly 2 TD favorite. The result was Coach Jay Hopson resigned. He will be replaced by Scott Walden. Walden immediately made a statement of what to expect. The Golden Eagles will put their foot on the gas, and not take it off for 4 quarters. His offense will attack hard, and play lightning fast. He has a history of that as he was the coach of E. Texas Baptist Univ. and his team averaged 50ppg and totaled over 550 yards per game. That has a pretty good chance against a Tech team with a depleted roster, and little in the way of experience to begin with. Southern Miss has been rock solid at home off a loss where they are 11-0 SU and 8-3 ATS. Like their situation here, make the play on S. Mississippi.
