The Four Pack: Nebraska vs. Northwestern, Illinois vs. Wyoming among best Week 0 college football picks

Your long wait is over. The college football season starts on Saturday week 0, but it’s odd to call it the first week of the season. Week 0 was reserved for his FCS team and maybe the FBS games were reserved to get the juice flowing, but we’ll see in his August he’s just as easily playing soccer as in September. to watch Television networks noticed this and began throwing more and more games into Week 0. It’s kind of a soft launch for the season now.

I don’t know why they don’t start calling it Week 1. You may have seen the reaction when the NCAA Tournament started calling the play-in game “the first round” and the first round the “round of 64.” Maybe week 0 sounds cool, so they stuck with it. I don’t know, and it doesn’t matter.the important thing is Watch a real college football game this weekend.

Think of this as week 0 of the six pack, as it’s not a full slate. Instead of 6 games, select only 4 games. It’s like one of the four packs you can buy at microbreweries. I’ll probably call it a Six Pack IPA. Whatever we call it, I have a pick for you because in fact the only losing season with a six pack in the last five years was his COVID-19 season in 2020 , he blames it on COVID, not himself.

game of the week

Featured game | | Northwestern Wildcats vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Nebraska versus. Northwest: The season kicks off in Ireland with a Big Ten battle between the two teams who have lost in the final six games of the 2021 season. In fact, Nebraska’s last win of 2021 was his 56-7 loss against Northwestern University. Cornhuskers coach Scott Frost enters the season in his one of the hottest seats in the country. The leading theory is that he needs to reach at least a bowl game to keep his job. Winning this game would boost that goal. Northwestern, meanwhile, won the Big Ten West in his 2020 but fell 3-9 in 2021 after the defense fell off a cliff under first-year defensive his coordinator Jim O’Neill. followed with the efforts of

To be honest, this game is not easy to understand. With the spread giving Nebraska a little too much credit, the under seems like a smarter play. The Huskers have new offensive coordinator Mark Whipple, who helped lead Pitt to the ACC title last season, and new Texas quarterback Casey Thompson. It’s not unreasonable to expect all of these new parts to stumble out of the gate, and O’Neal is entering his second year as his DC for the Wildcats, with the young defense aging. Given that defense is such a big part of the program’s identity, the Wildcats expect him to step up in 2022. Regardless of Nebraska’s margin of victory, we’re seeing low-scoring incidents, and Northwestern’s path to victory isn’t a shootout. Nebraska 24, Northwestern 14 | Less than 50.5

rock of the week

Featured game | | New Mexico State Aggies vs. Nevada Wolfpack

Nevada and new mexico: Rock of the Week betting on the New Mexico State program that won 8-30 from 2018 is week 0. Wolf in 2022 his pack is a vastly different team. First, QB Carson Strong and WR Romeo Dubs are in his NFL. Additionally, coach Jay Nobel, who had a 33-26 record in his 5 seasons, left to take over Colorado State University. This is the same program at Colorado State University where he went 18-35 in his five seasons.

Norvell also brought in their coaching staff and several key players via the transfer portal. All that remains is new head coach Ken Wilson, who is no stranger to the program after being an assistant at Reno from 1989-2012. The only time he wasn’t coaching Nevada during that period was when he was the school’s Associate AD. He never became a head coach, inherited a roster that didn’t come close to last year’s team’s level, and I suspect most of the Power Ratings haven’t kept up with it.

New Mexico State, meanwhile, is led by first-year coach Jerry Kill. While the Aggies are destined to struggle, Kill has a wealth of experience in making the most of what he has and plays a style of football designed to keep things close. I think the Aggies can do that Saturday. Nevada 27, New Mexico 24 | New Mexico +9

Team Totals for the Week

Featured game | | Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Wyoming Cowboys

wyoming and Illinois: I’m not in the habit of betting team totals in this column. Because I like to keep things as formulaic as possible to appeal to a wider audience. However, with a limited slate, they need to find as much value as they can, and this Illinois his team total has value. The Illini went 5-7 last year and regretted some of his seven losses. The team’s biggest problem was the offense, but Brett his coach Bierema didn’t want the situation to improve in his second year. Instead, he brought in a new offensive his coordinator, Barry Lanney Jr. Together in Arkansas, until Bierema saw Lanny’s UTSA offense in Champaign last fall that put him up 37 points against the Illini.

The Illinois offense doesn’t seem like what you’d expect from a Bierema team. Running the ball is still bread and butter, but the Illini plan to move at a faster tempo and spread things out a bit more. It is also small in size. Looking at the depth charts for both teams, Illinois’ offensive line has about 50 pounds per player on Wyoming’s defensive line. It’s an area to tap into, and with this being the home opener and Bierema looking to give fans a reason to get excited about his 2022, expect the Illinois offense to show up a bit . You don’t put Indiana on deck to showcase the entire playbook, but you don’t have to either. Illinois 31, Wyoming 17 | Illinois 27.5+

Numbers Play of the Week

Featured game | | Utah State Aggies vs. Connecticut Huskies

U Conn and Utah: Let’s take a little peek behind the curtain. There are not many games to choose from. Nor do we know as much about these teams as we think. We spend the entire offseason convincing ourselves of what the team could be and what could happen. face

Utah State will be one of the better teams in Mountain West. Just as Utah believes he’s way better than UConn, I’m confident in that. That said, my numbers suggest that Utah State isn’t 27 points ahead of UConn. According to my numbers, this spread should be closer to 24 points, so I trust that number until I know why not. Betting on UConn has never been fun or easy. This will get you sweaty, but if you’re starting the season, you’re better off jumping head first. Utah 34, UConn 10 | UCon+27
