THE PLAY: Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5 (-105)
They’re getting a bit antsy in Cincinnati, where the Bengals haven’t made the playoffs since 2022 and a return to the Super Bowl for Joe Burrow, which once seemed inevitable after he reached the finale vs. the Rams in his second year in the league, is now starting to draw comparisons to Dan Marino, who never got back to the Super Bowl after also making it in his second year with the Dolphins. Of course, Burrow staying in one piece for an entire season would be a nice start after he’s missed large chunks in three of his six campaigns in the league, with last year’s eight games the fewest in his career. Indeed, Joe’s presence means almost everything to the Bengals, who were 1-8 without him a year ago, and why lingering questions along the OL, which has allowed Burrow to get sacked 213 times in his career (the fourth most in the league since 2020) and has the worst pass-block rate in the league across that span, remain an obvious red flag. For the moment, Burrow is upright, however, and Zac Taylor is looking forward to a rebuilt defensive line wreaking havoc with foes on the Bengals’ schedule now that wrecking machine DT Dexter Lawrence II has arrived from the Giants along with other disruptors on the defensive front. Yet keep in mind that Cincinnati has been a notorious slow starter in recent years, failing to cover in its last four openers. Injuries also figured in the Bucs' demise a year ago and failure to defend the NFC South crown they had won the previous four seasons, and Todd Bowles is crossing his fingers that some of the walking wounded from the summer like wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan (the presence of both more important now that Mike Evans has moved to the 49ers) will be ready to go for the opener. The clever Baker Mayfield also looks a proper elixir to Cincinnati’s supposedly juiced-up pass rush, and Bowles’ own new adds in the defensive front seven could expose the main Bengals question mark--protecting Burrow. Moreover, any points from the oddsmakers are always worth considering with the low-variance Bucs, after their last six games a season ago were all decided by four points or fewer. Play Tampa Bay Bucs
THE PLAY: Rice +44.5 (-106)
Wisconsin +20.5 against Notre Dame was one of our favorite plays from last week, and if you would have showed us the box score for that game, we would probably be waiting for you in the cashier's line. Notre Dame only out-gained the Badgers by 66 yards and four first downs, but the Irish played mistake-free football and the Badgers did not. Wisconsin's two turnovers proved too much to overcome, and the Irish showed that teams will have to play a near-perfect game to beat Notre Dame in 2026. That's probably not something the Owls have up their sleeve, but similar to Wisconsin, Rice does possess the blueprint that could help the Owls stay within this lofty number. In the season-opening win over FCS-level Houston Christian, Rice threw a total of ten passes. The Owls ran for 465 yards while going 11-of-17 on third down. The strength of the Irish defense is in the secondary (DJ McKinney returned an interception for a touchdown last week against Wisconsin), but the Owls have very little interest in putting the ball in the air. Wisconsin had the formula to compete with Notre Dame (it was a 13-10 game at halftime), but the Badgers made the back-breaking mistakes in the second half. If Rice can play A LITTLE bit cleaner, the Owls can keep this clock running like a service academy contest.

THE PLAY: Total Under 54.5 (-110)
Emotions and intensity will be high in Chestnut Hill on Friday night as Boston College welcomes Rutgers for the annual Red Bandana Game, which happens to fall on the 25th anniversary of September 11. Neither the Scarlet Knights nor Eagles got off to a desirable start this season. Rutgers was soundly beaten 37-21 as a 30-point home favorite and had to pay UMass a reported $1.55 million in the process. Boston College lost 34-15 at Cincinnati against a Bearcats team that was replacing a lot of production lost from last season. We're struggling to justify a total in the mid-50s with two quarterbacks that left a lot to be desired in their Week 1 performances. Boston College should have a pretty good idea how to defend Rutgers' starter Dylan Lonergan after he played for the Eagles last season. Lonergan finished with three interceptions last week against UMass and Rutgers generated 1.2 yards per rushing attempt against a Minutemen team that hadn't won a game in nearly two years. Things didn't go much better for first-year Boston College QB Mason McKenzie in his debut against Cincinnati. The D-II transfer finished 18-of-35 for 224 yards with one touchdown, four sacks and an interception against a Bearcats defense that figures to be a middle-of-the-road outfit this season. We’re willing to give the Rutgers’ defense a SMALL pass for last week’s performance against UMass, simply because the Knights didn’t know what to expect from a Minutemen offense that was essentially a mystery heading into the season. With an emotional atmosphere expected, both defenses should be flying to the ball. After the performance of both quarterbacks in Week 1, we expect both coaching staffs to keep things relatively simple in the passing game as to limit the number of mistakes that each signal caller can make in this contest.
