THE PLAY: Los Angeles Chargers Over 9.5 Regular Season Wins
DraftKings has released its opening point spreads and totals for every game of the NFL regular season. The Chargers will open the season with a neutral site game against Kansas City in Brazil where heat, humidity and some questionable turf may be able to slow down the high-powered Chiefs' offense. After that, DraftKings has the Chargers favored in ELEVEN-straight games. The last month of LA's schedule has some difficult games against the Eagles, Chiefs and Broncos, but the Chargers may be knocking on nine wins by Thanksgiving if they take care of business in games they are supposed to win. Jim Harbaugh's team was a good bully last season, going 10-2 straight-up in games where the Chargers were favored (both losses came as a favorite of less than a field goal). Their non-division road games are at the Giants, Dolphins, Titans, Jaguars and Cowboys. You can't really ask for an easier non-division road schedule than that. At the time of posting, Chargers over 9.5 wins is available at…

THE PLAY: Los Angeles Rams -2.5 (-115)
While it began with questions about whether Matthew Stafford would return, the Rams have had a productive offseason. They have now adjusted Stafford's contract while making some significant changes to their offense. The big news is that the Rams released Cooper Kupp and signed Davante Adams for a one-two punch with Puka Nacua. There's a lot of excitement surrounding the team and we like their chances of getting off to a winning start. The AFC South was not a good division last year with the Colts, Jaguars and Titans going a combined 15-36. The Texans beat up on those teams en route to a division title, but games outside the division were a different story. The Texans were 5-6 in non-divisional games and they were only 2-3 against NFC teams. Houston's point differential last season was dead-even. The Texans scored 372 points and they allowed 372 points. When you're playing in a division with three sub-.500 teams, that is a little concerning. (The Rams were in a similar boat, as they actually allowed more points than they scored. However, they did go 4-1 (3-2 ATS) against AFC teams.) Importantly, Houston will be entering this season with a brand-new offensive line. We feel that catching the Texans early in the season, before they've had a chance for the offensive line to gel, favors the Rams. We also feel that the short number offers very fair value. Play on Los Angeles at -3, or better.
THE PLAY: Jacksonville State Under 5.5 Regular Season Wins
Jacksonville State made a very nice transition from FCS to FBS with nine-win seasons each of the last two years, but things may look a lot different in 2025. Rich Rodriguez left for West Virginia, and the Gamecocks will be searching for a new identity on offense. New head coach Charles Kelly is 57-years-old but has never been a head coach at any level prior to this gig. He's turned the offense over to incoming QB Gavin Wimsatt, whose career leaves a lot to be desired after previous stops at Rutgers and Kentucky. Wimsatt has completed 46.2-percent of his passes during his career and he has 21 interceptions compared to just 17 touchdown passes. Per ESPN's Bill Connelly, the Gamecocks will have the lowest returning production in Conference-USA with just a handful of players staying in the program after the offseason turnover. Even if Coach Kelly and Wimsatt are able to keep this program pointed in the right direction, the Gamecocks are still going to be facing a difficult schedule this year. A 1-4 start is firmly on the table with road games at UCF, at Georgia Southern and at Southern Miss, plus a home game against revenge-seeking Liberty in Week 2. Jacksonville State will not play back-to-back home games all season, but will play back-to-back road games twice. Even in the game against Delaware where it looks relatively-safe to pencil in a win for the Gamecocks, Jacksonville State will be playing on a short week with travel while the Blue Hens are coming off a bye. That's not ideal.
