Ohio State's offense is equally as explosive, if not more so than Texas, but what gives them an edge is that they are peaking at the right time and they are not allowing teams to hang around. Defensively they are shutting down both the run and the pass, putting the ball in their explosive offense's hands.

With both teams being eerily similar along both sides of the line of scrimmage, it makes the chess match between the two teams even more important. These teams will play a strong point of attack game and we may be looking at two touchdowns and a series of field goals.

Jaguars will have the ability to making things difficult for the Titans because of their ability to run the ball and pressure the QB. Without Will Levis playing in this game, Mason Rudolph's statuesque nature in the pocket will prove to be a bit of an issue for the Titans offense. Expect the Jags to slow down the run game and make Rudolph have to beat them consistently through the air.

One of the best things this season about the Army football team is that they do a great job of excelling on both sides of the ball. Considering what it took for the La Tech team to get into this bowl game in a last minute change, I don't think they'll be too locked in to put up much of a fight against the Black Knights of the Hudson.

This game will be an excellent showcase for both teams. But why Colorado has more to show is because of it being the final look at both Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. This game can help strengthen both players draft stock and I expect it to be a high scoring affair coming from the Buffs side of things.

Where the Bengals can give the Broncos a big problem in this game is on the defensive side of the ball. I like how active Cincinnati is around the football and will get their chances to turn the ball over against Bo Nix. Also, the Broncos run game is hit or miss, which will make them essentially one-dimensional. Look for Burrow and the offense to be able to easily cruise to covertown.

Miami's QB Cam Ward is looking to boost his draft status and will be more than ready to put on an aerial show against the Cyclones. We know Iowa State struggles to get home and he'll have all day to throw. We also know the Canes defense can't truly be trusted to take a side on the spread, which is why I like them to just win straight up.

Northern Illinois will be competitive but what will keep them from covering the spread is the amount of losses they suffered in the transfer portal. With what the Bulldogs have on defense, I expect them to steal a few possessions away from NIU and help keep this one under this number.

Roadrunner QB Owen McCown gives UTSA the best chance because of his ability to generate the explosive play. When you couple that with how explosive UTSA is on offense, playing on a fast surface, this team should be able to score. Also, and most importantly, there weren't too many losses to the portal for them.

What Jacksonville has over the Raiders in this game is the ability to generate chunk plays on offense. Las Vegas couldn't find any offense against the Falcons last weekend and face a much stiffer test this game against the Jaguars. Look for the Jags to go on the road and cover.

With the uncertainty at QB for the Seahawks, the Vikings should be able to go on the road and get some key stops defensively. There's enough offensive balance for them to figure out a path to success vs Mike McDonald's defense enough to cover this short spread.

Where the Eagles have the advantage here against the Commanders is on defense. Combining with their ability to contain the mobile QB, Philly does present itself as the more complete, healthiest team in the NFC. I expect them to go on the road and show dominance against Washington.

There is still a flicker of playoff hope for the Colts, and in this game vs Tennessee they can quickly get the bad taste out of their mouth from last week. Look for the Colts defensive line to be able to tee off on Mason Rudolph in the pocket and have some success in the short passing game offensively to cover, and keep their playoff hopes alive.

With new life thanks to the Broncos loss, the Bengals have a chance to make a run toward the postseason if they win out and get help. We know their offense can score, but the difference in this game will be their ability to get after a young QB in Dorian Thompson Robinson for the Browns.

I believe most are missing this one key element about this matchup for the Vols, and it's their run game. This team is built a lot like Ohio State and won't back down from playing any type of game the Buckeyes want to. Expect this game to be more of a field goal than a full touchdown.
