Patriots 9-Point Home Favourites Versus Chiefs

Patriots Just Reload Year to Year

The 2017 NFL regular season kicks off this Thursday (8:30 PM ET, NBC) in Foxborough, MA. The defending Super Bowl champion, New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs, square off to get the 2017 NFL Season underway.

The Patriots are 9-point favorites at press time. The game opened with the Pats favored by –7.5. The over/under is 49 points after dipping as low as 47.5.

The Patriots (14-2 SU, 13-3 ATS last year) are coming off one of the better seasons in NFL history. They’re expected to do big things this year as well. New England is +325 favorites for Super Bowl LII. The Pats defensive line is a bit suspect at time. Defensive tackle Vincent Valentine expects to miss Thursday’s opener with a knee injury. The Pats did add DE Cassius Marsh over the weekend in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks.

Chiefs Not Chopped Liver

Kansas City (12-4 SU, 9-7 ATS) has one of the best pass rushes in football. The focus Thursday will be on rookie RB Kareem Hunt. Hunt is being thrust into the spotlight after Spencer Ware was lost for the season to a torn right knee. Hunt was first-team All-MAC for the Toledo Rockets in 2014 and 2016. The Chiefs drafted him in the third round and expect big things.

Patriots Still Super Bowl LII Favorites

Patriots Reload for Run at Super Bowl LII

They may have lost their top wide receiver, but the New England Patriots haven’t budged on the Super Bowl LII futures market. They’re still the +325 favourites at press time despite losing WR Julian Edelman (98 catches, 1106 yards last year) to a torn ACL. Edelman will miss the entire 2017 season, which starts September 7 when the Patriots host the Kansas City Chiefs (8:30 PM ET, NBC).

Bet on football at Bovada and get a free 100% bonus.

Without Edelman’s services, the defending Super Bowl champions will be relying on newcomer Brandin Cooks (78 catches, 1173 yards for New Orleans) to be their top wideout. Cooks came over from the Saints in March; he was sixth among NFL receivers last year at 10.0 yards per target. Chris Hogan (38 catches, 680 yards) should also see some more playing time with Edelman on injured reserve.

The Green Bay Packers (+800) and Oakland Raiders (+1000) are the top contenders to New England’s crown, at least according to the NFL futures. The Atlanta Falcons, who nearly beat the Patriots at Super Bowl LI, are available at +1200. The Falcons have almost all their key players coming back for 2017, and they’ll be playing in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium this year.

Top Ranked Alabama and 3rd Ranked FSU Kickoff 2017 Season

Alabama and FSU Greatest Opener of All-Time?

The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida State Seminoles will officially kick-off the 2017 college football season on Saturday. The traditional power-houses meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game is set to kickoff a little after 8 pm EST and will be televised nationally on ABC.

Never before as a team ranked No. 1 played against a team ranked as high as No. 3 in the first weekend of the season. These are the two winningest College Football Programs since 2010. They have combined for five of the last eight National Champions.

The College Football Playoff will be decided this season at Atlanta's new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, so it is only fitting the first college football game ever may likely determine who plays in it. The $1.5 billion replacement for the Georgia Dome will have what is arguably the best college football opening game of all-time. The team that loses this game will not be able to slip up the rest of the 2017 season.

Oddsmakers opened the Crimson Tide as -6.5-point favorites versus the Seminoles, while the game's total opened at 53. Alabama is now a 7-point favorite and the total is down to 49.5.

Alabama to be Motivated after CFB National Championship Loss

The Tide will motivated against FSU. The Seminoles are picked to unseat Clemson as the ACC champion this year. The Tide has a perfect season ruined by a 35-31 loss to Clemson on a last-second touchdown in the College Football Playoff title game in January. Seven players were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft off the Alabama defense, so that could be a weakness against a powerful FSU offense.

Seven players were selected in the 2017 NFL Draft off the Alabama defense. FSU also has the pedigree of success producing pros and a wealth of talent returning to make a run at a national title. Jalen Hurts will lead a powerful Tide offense. He was the 2016 SEC Offensive Player of the Year as a Freshman

FSU Ready to Compete for National Championship?

Florida State can match Hurts with Deondre Francois. He was also a freshman standout a season ago. Francois isn't Jameis Winston, but has lots of talent and can easily lead this team to a title. He's the Seminoles' best quarterback since Winston and if he gets protection from his offensive line can be great.

Florida State won seven of its final eight games a year ago to finish 10-3. They return nine regulars on defense and will have star safety Derwin James back at full strength. He only played two games in 2016 because of a knee injury.

Wisconsin Badgers Host Utah State Friday Night

9th Ranked Wisconsin Badgers Could Get a Test

The Utah State Aggies and the 9th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers will meet at Camp Randall Stadium on Friday night. Wisconsin will be looking to avenge a loss to the Aggies the last time they visited Camp Randall, back in 2014. They upset the Badgers 16-14. Kickoff for this matchup is 9 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Badgers as -34-point favorites versus the Aggies, while the game's total opened at 49. The line now shows Wisconsin as -28-point favorites. The total has climbed to 52.

 

Wisconsin has suffered some preseason setbacks at linebacker. Junior outside linebacker Zack Baun is sidelined for the year with a left foot injury. Baun was a reserve, but expected to get a lot of playing time. He joins senior inside linebacker, and co-captain, Jack Cichy out for the season. Cichy tore his right ACL on August 8. Sophomore linebacker Tyler Johnson and freshman linebacker Christian Bell will need to be ready when called upon.

Aggies Look for Rebound From Bad 2016 Season

Two Aggies that are likely to pose problems for the Badgers are senior safety Dallin Leavitt, and senior quarterback Kent Myers. Leavitt, who is a transfer from BYU, posted team highs with 57 tackles and three interceptions in eight games last season. Kent is very versatile. Last season he completed 211 of 361 passes for 2,389 yards. He had 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also had 116 rushes for 448 yards and six TDs.

8th Ranked Washington Huskies Travels to Rutgers

Washington Huskies Have High Expectations

High Point Solutions Stadium has a Week 1 contest the fans should enjoy. Friday night the Washington Huskies and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights play their season openers. The game will be broadcast nationally on FOX Sports 1, with a kick-off set for just after 8 pm EST.

Oddsmakers opened the Huskies as -31.5-point favorites versus the Scarlet Knights, while the game's total opened at 52. The line is now Washington at -27 and the total is 53.

The Huskies are starting their fourth season under former Boise State coach, Chris Peterson. Expectations are high for a program he has rebuilt to its former glory, and perhaps surpassed. Washington reached the College Football Playoff last year, and finished the season 12-2. The Huskies are now in a situation where they don't rebuild, they just reload.

Washington senior All-Pac-12 linebacker Azeem Victor will miss the game due to a one-game suspension for a violation of team rules.

The Huskies will be counting on junior quarterback Jake Browning. He looks to build on a season in which he tied the Pac-12 record of 43 touchdown passes. Browning helped the Huskies roll up a school-record 585 points. The QB underwent offseason surgery on his passing shoulder but has fully recovered.

Rutgers Has Talent to Improve From 2016

Rutgers is looking to improve on a 2-10 season from a year ago. They started the season promising, going 2-1, but lost their last nine game of the season.

They are starting a fifth-year Senior, Kyle Bolin, who is a transfer in from Louisville. Bolin will be making his seventh career start. He has passed for 2,104 yards in 17 career games.

Senior running backs, Robert Martin and Gus Edwards will share the ball-carrying duties. Martin has 1,822 career rushing yards and Edwards is a transfer from Miami who racked up 977 yards last year.

Rutgers couldn't stop Browning last season. H passed for 287 yards and three touchdowns in a 48-13 victory. It was the first meeting between the schools.
