So getting excited for my show, getting excited for the weekend. I think this is my favorite, my favorite, my favorite board in the NFL, man. We get overreaction in week two, so I'm really excited to get going this weekend. Well, it sounds great. We'll get to the NFL in just a bit.

Let me start you off with coach prime. We all expect Colorado to win. The question is by how many points do they end up defeating Colorado state after Jay Norvell was basically telling Deion Sanders he shouldn't speak to grownups with sunglasses and a hat on and made himself look like an idiot. Colorado is a 23 and a half point favorite.

The over under is 63. Is this a game where everyone's now like Colorado, Colorado, Colorado, they're going to blow them out where maybe plus 23 and a half is the smart play. You know, I feel like the smart people are on Colorado state. I I'm done fading.

Well, actually let me rephrase that. I have the perfect opportunity to fade prime in Colorado, but that comes next week. And right now that will be a 15 point spread against Oregon. I think Oregon's going to blow them off the field.

I think they're very, very underrated. You're a nonbeliever. But I am a believer that like you don't poke the bear and you don't poke prime. We saw that last week, you know, with the sunny takes his helmet off at the like, I honestly, I could not fade prime in this spot. You know, I get it. Maybe a look ahead spot because they get Oregon next week. The schedule is going to get a little bit tougher and a really loaded pack 12. But I think, you know, they're going to be ready to go, man. Game day is going to be there for the first time in forever. We got to remember Colorado was five and 21 in their last 26 games before this season.

So there's just way too much hype for me to fade them. If I'm betting this game, I'm waiting for the right number, maybe waiting for a live number around like 21 and a half 21. And I'm going to take Colorado. Usually when Tennessee plays Florida, there's some juice, but Florida is in a spot where we just don't know what direction they're heading in. It's not a great weekend of games in college football. Tennessee, though, is 11th in the country. The Vols are a five and a half point favorite over unders 56 and a half.

How do you think this will go down in the swamp? Yeah, so I actually took the points with Florida. This opened seven and a half.

I still like it at six and a half. You know, I mean, Graham Mertz is not a good starting quarterback. We know that he wasn't good in the Big Ten. He's not good in the SEC, but I don't think in this matchup he's going to need to be very good because I think Florida is going to be able to run the ball.

Although they weren't able to do that against Utah, but Utah is very good. I think they're a top 15 defense in the country at the end of the season. And you look at Tennessee, I really like the system, but I don't know if I'm sold on Milton yet. I loved Hennen Hooker running that offense, and we know Milton has the big arm.

I will say this, right now he's pretty much just playing point guard. He hasn't thrown an interception. He's making all the right throws. I don't know if Tennessee is going to be able to run the ball, though, and if they're one dimensional, that secondary is good enough to at least keep this game close, maybe win it outright. So I took the points with Florida. Is UNC on upset alert this weekend? 2-0 Minnesota with P.J.

Fleck rode the boat going up against Drake May and Mac Brown over in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels are a seven point favorite. So I would take the points here with Minnesota only because if you look at the way defenses are playing Drake May now, we're seeing a lot of too high shell, right? They're playing a lot of two safeties against them, and I'm disappointed that I think a lot of college football fans are disappointed, especially North Carolina fans, because we're most likely not going to get to see Tez Walker, who comes over from Kent State, had 11 receiving touchdowns. So they don't really have that downfield threat. So I think Carolina is going to look to run the ball, and we know Minnesota is going to do the same thing. Last week they finally found their back.

They can't really push the ball down the field. Very underrated defensive team, even with only five starters coming back. So I lean Minnesota in the under in that game.

Ryan Horvat here with us from BetQL, BetMGM tonight. Seahawks and Lions, I love the over in this game of 47 and a half points. Detroit is a four and a half favorite.

Give me your thoughts on this one. All the sharp people like Seattle, I actually like Detroit in this spot. I think Detroit's for real. I bought into the Seahawks coming into the season, but I have some concerns about Geno. I have some concerns about even the defensive side of the ball. I like all the giraffe picks.

I really like Weatherstone, but I might take them a year. Right now, I didn't want to believe in Detroit because they haven't won the division since 1993, but the defense has been really good since week nine of last season. Offensively, we know Jared Goss is probably not going to push the ball down the field.

He doesn't have the strongest arm, but Ben Johnson calls all the right plays. They have the best offensive line in the NFC, or at least second best, and they can run the ball. So I actually like Detroit. Were you surprised that this Dolphins-Patriot game, the Dolphins are a two and a half, three point favorite? I actually thought this spread should have been a little bit higher in favor of the Dolphins. You know, it's funny, I think a lot of people think that, and I actually like Patriots. And that's coming from a Patriot fan.

You know that too. Yeah, you know, I like the Pats, and I think they might even win this game outright. So, okay, rough start against Philadelphia. I mean, that pick six kind of sets them back, but then Philadelphia didn't really do a whole lot in the second half. I'm also shocked because mobile quarterbacks have actually killed Bill Belichick the last couple years.

But, I just think this is a good buy low spot on the Patriots. The offense is going to look much better this year. Like, Matt Patricia is finally gone. I don't love Bill O'Brien, the head coach, but I like him as a play caller.

We saw what him and Matt Jones did together. So, I actually like the Patriots at least to keep this game close, and I actually like the over. I think we're going to get some points scored in this game. Like I said, I think they're going to be a little bit better offensively than a lot of people expect. Going to Chiefs and Jaguars, Ryan Horvat, that's the one game that I circle where it's just screaming at me to take the points with the Jaguars.

I'll probably even sprinkle some of the money line at plus 150. Do you like the Jags to pull off the upset this week, and would you take the points? I like the revenge game angle, and I really like the Jags this season.

Played the win total, played them to win the division like most did. I mean, Kelvin Ridley looks like a true number one. And you still have all those guys from last year, Christian Kirk, Evan Ingram, obviously.

Yes, Zay Jones. So, love them on the offensive side of the ball. Not completely sold on the defense, and you saw what Travis Kelce did against them in those two matchups last year. Over 20 receptions, so I know he's just a tight end, but that's why he's worth half of a point in the market.

But I'm with you. I mean, Josh Allen said this is a playoff game. Trayvon Walker actually looked a lot better week one than he did all of last season. Actually got pressure on the quarterback. So, I'm going to take the points with the Jags, but I'm going to take the over. I think the over is my favorite bet, and I think Kansas City does get right offensively. You know, I know that the wide receivers had a bunch of drops. They're saying all the right things. They still have faith in Kadarius Toney, but their team total is only 27 and a half.

I'm going to play that. I think we get some points in this game, but I do think the Jags at least keep this within a field goal. So, I know you said you love this NFL board this weekend.

What else jumps out to you? All right, so my favorite play is actually the Bengals. And I love the Ravens coming into the season, but we're already seeing the same issues with the Ravens that we've seen the last couple years. Lamar is healthy, and I was all excited for the Todd Monk in offense, but you saw it last week. Lamar was only pushing the ball five yards per attempt. The offense didn't look very good. This week already on Wednesday, they worked out four offensive linemen. They lose Dobbins now for the season again.

And on the defensive side of the ball, they have a bunch of injuries, especially in the secondary. But we're getting a perfect buy low spot on the Bengals. I liked it better at three. It's at three and a half.

I would wait, maybe see if we bounce back to three. I know how good the Ravens have been as underdogs, and Harbaugh's been great against the spread. But, you know, everybody's talking about what's wrong with Cincinnati. I think they'll be just fine.

You know, Burrow didn't practice all summer. I think that offense bounces back, so I really like Cincinnati against Baltimore at home. I may ask you this question each and every week, but last week you liked the Bears to beat your Packers. On a scale of one to ten, and maybe this could change week to week, Packers are going up against the Falcons. Where is your confidence in the direction that the Packers are heading in for this season being 1-0?

So, I do think that they go over their win total, but I also really like Atlanta. And I think this is a bad matchup for Green Bay. So, I had to see it to believe it, really, with the defensive side of the ball for Green Bay, because they're going to struggle against the run. The problem was, for Chicago, they couldn't establish anything on the run, and they hadn't. Like, Luke Goetzee is just not a creative play caller. But this week, now we get to finally see what that run defense looks like. Last year, 28th against the run DVOA, 31st according to Football Outsiders. And now you have Bijan Robinson, Tyler Algier. It looks like Patterson's going to be active for this game. So, I know Desmond Ritter's not pushing the ball down the field.

I think you've got to get Drake London more than one touch. So, I think Atlanta wins this game at home. I think they're a little undervalued here. But as far as the Packers, I think they win eight, nine games.

I don't know that they win the NFC North, but because it really looks like Detroit's for real. Ryan Horvat from BetMGM tonight via BetQL. You could also listen to his show tomorrow.
