(373) Maryland at (374) UCLA
7:00pm EDT - Oct 18/2025

THE PLAY: Maryland +3.5 (-109)

UCLA returns home off another upset win after beating Michigan State as 7-point road underdogs.  The Bruins beat Penn State as 25-point home underdogs the week before.  Those 2 wins came after they fired their head coach, but it sets them up for some major regression, especially since they are now laying points.  Maryland hits the road off back-to-back home losses to Washington and Nebraska.  The Terrapins are not as good as either of those teams, but they only lost those games by a combined 7 points.  Maryland has an excellent defense that should control what UCLA can do in this game, and with the Bruins in a natural letdown spot, that edge may be even more pronounced.  Take the points with the live underdog in this game on Saturday night.

(451) Los Angeles Rams at (452) Jacksonville Jaguars
9:30am EDT - Oct 19/2025

THE PLAY: Los Angeles Rams -3.0 (+100)

Los Angeles and Jacksonville will play this game in London.  The Rams come in off a boring 17-3 win in Baltimore; a game that could have been much different had the Ravens scored from the 1-yard line right before the half.  Los Angeles was in a poor spot for that game, and they also lost their best WR (Puka Nacua) to an ankle injury.  But they got the job done despite the less than ideal circumstances, and it’s more likely now that they’ll come with a much better effort.  Reports say Nacua will likely miss this game, but his absence will only increase the focus of the offense.  The Rams have enough remaining pieces to overcome his absence, especially against a team like Jacksonville.  The Jaguars lost at home to the Seahawks while only scoring 12 points.  They came off a lucky win in the final seconds the week prior, so this isn’t a team playing too well right now.  Jacksonville’s offense can be good, but we’ve only seen it against the very bad defenses they’ve played.  This is a poor matchup for them on both sides of the ball, and the line is quite cheap on Los Angeles because of them most likely being without Nacua.  Lay the field goal with the Rams in this game on Sunday moring.
