Week 0 Plays

Assume all plays are 1 unit.

K-State -3 vs Iowa State (Ireland)

Farmageddon is a historic matchup and this is the 109th game between the two programs. This shapes up to be an electric Week 0 game! I like K-State to cover the number in a close win here. Iowa State while returning QB Rocco Becht has to replace two 1K yard WRs from last season. The leading returning WR recorded just over 200 yds last season making WRs Higgins and Noel tough to replace. While K-State's secondary is a question mark, their front 7 is strong and Iowa State's best passing threats are tight ends. I'd like to believe Avery Johnson cleaned up his mistakes in the off season and looks to right the ship after a skid in conference play to end last season. K-State enters the season as BIG12 Conf. favorites for a reason.

Stanford @ Hawaii -2.5

The Rainbow Warriors to open the season on the island is typically a system play but I LOVE this one. Hawaii has won each of its last 13 games as a home favorite and covered in 7 of the last 8 home games against non-ranked opponents. With new QB Alejado at the helm Hawaii's offense will be upgraded. Also after a much improved year 1 of defense under DC Thurman I expect another step up on that side of the ball. Stanford has to travel 26K+ miles this year (larger than the circumference of Earth!) and this trip isn't helping. They have a new QB in Elijah Brown and lack experience in both the WR and RB rooms. Unfortunately after being dealt a really difficult schedule last year I don't think things are looking up for Stanford anytime soon.

2025 REGULAR SEASON WIN TOTALS

LSU Over 8.5 (-150)

We’ve seen it year after year and veteran QBs get the job done. Nussmeier stayed back with the intention of winning a natty. The offense returns Anderson and Durham along with some transfers. Nuss has more than enough weapons at his disposal to score. On defense Harold Perkins is playing where he feels most comfortable at STAR and Whit Weeks returns as a 1st TM SEC LB.

LSU does open with a trip to Clemson but I have them getting wins against:

LA Tech, South East LA, Ole Miss, Vandy, Arkansas, WKU (6 wins)

They’ll have to scoop 3 more wins in games against:

Clemson, Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma

I like LSU to make a national title run let alone win 9 games. No reason they shouldn’t be able to split that last 3 when A&M, SC, and Florida games are all at home.

Arkansas Under 5.5 (-135)

I do like Taylen Green but unfortunately under Pittman I don’t think these hogs will do much. The entire WR room turns over and is a huge question mark for this team. While Green was good he does struggle with turning the ball over. On defense they lose Landon Jackson along with a few DBs. Overall I think they have a tough schedule and it’s too much of a gauntlet for this team to go bowling.

The only winnable games I see are below:

Alabama A&M, Arkansas State, Memphis, Miss State, Mizzou (only 5 games)

They’d have to win all of those and one more to break this. Even if they do upset a top dog in the SEC I don’t think they’ll be close enough for me to worry.

Nebraska Over 7.5 (-150)

Raiola is back after having an up and down freshman year and looking to take a major step forward. The RB room is talented and WR Dane Key joins from Kentucky along with an experienced OL. The defense is led by a veteran DB unit and the schedule aligns nicely for the Cornhuskers.

I like Nebraska’s chances against:

Cincinnati, Akron, Houston Christian, Michigan State, Maryland, UCLA and Northwestern (7 games)

They’ll have tough matchups against:

Michigan (Home), Minnesota (Away), USC (Home), Penn State (Away), Iowa (Home)

Luckily for them they will see Iowa, USC, and Michigan at home. I like them to steal at least one of these tough matchups.

Washington Over 7.5 (+110)

Demond Williams has arrived. After starting the final 2 games and throwing for 944 with 8 TD and 1 INT while being #2 rusher. He returns along with RB Coleman who may be competing for the Doak Walker Award this year. With an energized offense and portal boosted defense the Huskies are my surprise team in the BIG10 this year.

Washington should fare well against:

Colorado State, UC Davis, Washington State, Maryland, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Purdue, & UCLA (8 games)

Their toughest matchups are as follows:

Ohio State (Home). Michigan (Away), Illinois (Home), Oregon (Home)

Luckily for them 3 of the 4 are home but I think they can get 8 without these.

Iowa Under 7.5 (-140)

Iowa’s team this year is not much different than what we usually get. They do have a slightly better QB but did lose their best RB in Kaleb Johnson. On defense they lose 3 All BIG10 LBs and a pair of DBs.

This is less about Iowa and more about the rest of the BIG10. Iowa has some tough matchups in the following games:

Iowa State (Away), Indiana (Home), Wisconsin (Away), Penn State (Home), Oregon (Home), USC (Away) and Nebraska (Away)

I have them marked as wins against Albany, UMass, Minnesota, and Michigan State but those aren’t sure things either. I could see Kinnick stadium being the home of a major BIG10 upset this year but I don’t think there will be enough consistency to go above 7 wins.

Georgia Tech Over 7.5 (-150)

Brent Key has turned over a new leaf for the Yellowjackets. Last year they upset Florida State in Week 0, upset Miami late in the year and took Georgia to 8 overtimes in the final game of the season. None of that was by accident. It's all thanks to the culture and toughness brought in by Key and demonstrated by guys like Haynes King and Jamal Haynes. Haynes is a gamer and knows how to get the job done especially with a very talented RB room behind him. Although they lose some production in the WR room they add 1st TM CUSA Eric Rivers and the transfers combine for more yards than the guys who left.

I like Georgia Tech in the following games:

Colorado, Gardner-Webb, Temple, Wake Forest, Duke, Syracuse and Boston College (7 games)

They'll have to steal one of the following tougher matchups:

Clemson (Home), VA Tech (Home), NC State (Away), Pitt (Home), Georgia (Neutral)

I like what Key has been building here and I think they have more than enough talent to compete for the ACC. With a schedule that points to VA Tech, NC State, and Pitt as the tougher games I see no reason Georgia Tech couldn't pull off 9 wins this year.

North Carolina Over 7.5 (+140)

I want to this get out of the way now, this is not a "just trust Belichick" type of play. While I am curious and do lean towards him being successful I think a huge help will be due to the easy schedule. South Alabama QB Gio Lopez takes over for the Tar Heels with a decent supporting cast. The RB room loses Hampton but will remain productive with Hood and Gause. The OL combines for 155 starts and Belichick hand picked his defense through the portal. I'm not expecting UNC to win the conference or make the championship game but I do expect and 8-4 season to say the least.

UNC will have favorable matchups in the following games:

Charlotte, Richmond, UCF, Cal, Virginia, Syracuse, Stanford, Wake Forest (8 games)

The tougher matchups will be as follows:

TCU (Home), Clemson (Home), Duke (Home), NC State (Away)

With 3 of the 4 tougher matchups listed as home games I love UNC's chances at an 8+ win season here.
