Burkies Pick: San Diego State -31 vs New Mexico State
Saturday 1030PM

New Mexico State was as bad as advertised on Saturday, and I think we need to take advantage of fading this team all year. They lost by 27 to a team that wasn’t much better than them projection wise, and now they have to play San Diego State who is projected to be an infinitely better team than UTEP, who they just played, yet the line is still a steal at only -31. The talent disparity is insane in this game and I don’t see how they can possibly keep up.

Burkies Pick: Marshall -2.5 vs Navy
Saturday 330PM

Another game where i think there is a massive talent discrepancy, and I know they run the triple option but they struggled last year running it and Marshall was actually one of the top teams in the nation defending the run, and they return a lot of people on that run crunching defense to do so. Marshall is also infinitely more talented on offense than navy, so if they get an early lead in this one I just can’t see Navy having enough offense to get back into the game. Navy also still has no idea who their QB is going to be running the triple option, so we could see multiple QB’s in this game, but I just don’t think it matters and I see Marshall winning this by double digits.

Burkies Pick: Georgia State -2 vs Army
Saturday 12PM

I am highlighting this game for one reason, there is a massive talent discrepancy between Georgia State and Army. Georgia State is better at almost every position, return 9 defenders who all played well last year and come off a campaign where the lost to all top tier non power 5 teams, and return almost everyone on offense and will be playing in front of a packed crowd at home against Army who will be starting two qbs once again. They will once again do almost no passing and I just think Georgia St has way too much for Army to beat them.

Burkies Pick: Indiana +4 over Iowa
Saturday 330PM

Indiana had an incredibly above average season last year, losing only to Ohio State by a single score in the regular season and Mississippi in a close bowl game. Stud QB Michael Penix returns to the helm for the hoosiers and will have top receiver Ty Fryfogle back along with him. He does lose a little bit of production elsewhere but it shouldn’t be enough to have a huge effect on this team.

Iowa will continue to have the services of Spencer Petras at QB, but do lose quite a bit of production on the offensive end of the ball with mekhi Sargent leaving the backfield and losing 3 of 5 top receivers. The front of the Indiana line might be a little vulnerable so it could be a vintage iowa ground and pound game to keep Penix on the sideline and control clock, especially since the Indiana secondary does have talent and is a completely senior lead unit.

At the end of the day I think people largely forget how good Indiana looked last year, but Iowa also finished out the year strong, so this game is a pretty even game with Iowa being a favorite due to home field advantage. I don’t think that matters in this game, and I’ll ride Penix and the Indiana squad to cover and win.

Burkie's Pick: Michigan State +4 vs Northwestern
Friday 9PM

Just give me the under in this one. Don’t care what it is, give me the under.

Jokes aside, this matchup features a whole lot of unknown at the quarterback with Michigan St keeping under wraps until game time who it is going to start between Temple transfer Anthony Russo or Payton Thorne.Meanwhile, Northwestern has surprisingly named Hunter Johnson the starter of South Carolina transfer Ryan Hilinski. Northwestern has lost a lot on both sides of the ball heading into this matchup so it’s hard to see them putting it together against Michigan St who loves to make games absolutely ugly. On the other side of the field, Michigan St actually returns a lot to the field to aid whoever is playing quarterback for them(I am hoping Russo), but whoever it is I think is an upgrade over last year's QB Rocky Lombardi. He will be behind an entirely senior lead offensive line who should be solid. Both defenses will be average and I don’t see a real advantage in this game on that end of the ball.

It should be a boring affair, however I think the wrong team is getting points here. Michigan State just returns too much and actually has the better QB and the better offense in this matchup. I think that Michigan St covers and wins this outright so this could be a nice dog to add to start a weekend parlay.

**This line has fallen since I took it, I still love Michigan State**

Burkie's Pick: UNC -5.5 vs Virginia Tech
Friday 6PM

North Carolina is starting Heisman hopeful Sam Howell at QB and many people have him as a prop to win the Heisman and North Carolina as a dark horse to make the playoff. UNC is losing a LOT of talent on the offensive side of the ball but should still have plenty of playmakers to bridge the gap. Meanwhile Virginia Tech loses Hendon Ho**er to transfer, and their top 2 running backs to transfer and the NFL. This means Brandon Burmeister will have the reigns on the offense and is infinitely worse than Sam Howell, so the QB edge in this matchup is worth a lot.

The defense in this game is pretty even on both ends, and both O lines should protect really well. I think this game comes down to one guy, Howell, and this should be a touchdown win easily for UNC and a big start to his Heisman run.

Burkies Pick: Minnesota +14.5 vs Ohio State
Thursday 8PM

Obviously the big story here is Ohio State losing Justin Fields and Trey Sermon moving on to the NFL, and also losing a lot on defense to the NFL. By all accounts CJ Stroud should have it locked up, but reports are that freshman Kyle McCord is making the decision difficult because he has a power arm with accuracy and has looked good in camp. CJ Stroud was officially named the starter after the brief camp battle, and he will have the services of Master Teague behind him who returns. Minnesota will have Tanner Morgan back at the helm to try and avenge last season. There is a good possibility he may be the better QB on the field Thursday night. They also return all RBs and all but 1 receiver, so they should be in rhythm for this game. They also have a very strong Oline to go up against the Ohio State D, who will look to be solid this year even with all of the losses .If there is a concern it could be the Minnesota secondary but will a new QB even be able to take advantage of it on the road? You many be able to get a good feel on how this game is going to go early, but again I think Stroud could face a little adversity on the road in front of fans who haven't seen football in person in a long time.

I really like the 14 points with Minnesota here at home, as Ohio State will have a new QB making their debut on the road against a largely veteran team. I think we might also be able to get Ohio State live at a deficit late and potentially middle, but I like Minnesota here with two touchdowns at home with small potential to pull the big upset.

Burkie's Pick: UCF -5 vs Boise State
Thursday 7PM

Boise State is breaking in a new offensive coordinator and system this year and also started camp with a QB controversy, however Hank bachmeier was named starter this past week but Jack Sears will be ready should Bachmeier stumble at any point.

On the other side of the ball Central Florida has veteran QB Dillon Gabriel at the helm again, and he should pick up right where he left off last season, gunning and running the ball all over the field. They are losing some heavy production on the offensive side of the ball with their top 2 running backs and top wide receiver from last year all graduating but they bring in a veteran RB in Isaiah Bowser from Northwestern to help anchor the new stable, and also will need help from a lot of receivers that have moved on. Gus Malzahn brings a nice coaching edge to a veteran team as well and I think he could pay big dividends leading that team in a fresh start away from Auburn. The defense returns a lot of great players and should be a solid top to bottom unit this year and the Oline is also veteran lead. This is an all around veteran team that shouldn’t have a problem moving the ball with ease.

The defense and offense for Boise are also pretty good, although i can't see them getting much pressure on Gabriel against such a stout offensive line and especially since he can use his legs to extend plays.

We also need to take into account the environment, as Boise is traveling all the way to the East Coast to play in front of a packed UCF crowd back for the first time since Covid. They are expecting 45k fans at the game and I think it could be huge momentum for UCF with the crowd
I really like UCF in this game, they seem to have a really veteran team who will look to possibly put together another undefeated season.

Burkies Pick: UCLA/Hawaii Over 68

Both teams are returning about the same amount of players, but hawaii is returning significantly more veteran players.
UCLA returns a familiar face at QB in Dorian Thompson Robinson, who is hyper athletic and has an arm to go with it. Every game they lost last year in the shortened pac 12 season was a 1 score game, and they should be well situated to make a run at the Pac 12 title.
Demetric Felton went to the NFL, but they got star Michigan running back Zach Charbonnet to add to the backfield to pair with returning back Brittain Brown, so the run game with this team should be very strong throughout the year.
They also return all top receiving talent and have a tight end who averaged 20 yards a catch last year.
The entire defense is senior lead, but take that with a grain of salt because they were not very good to begin with last year
The UCLA O line should also rip open massive holes in this game for the run

Hawaii returns Chevan Cordeiro at quarterback who is pretty good himself. He can throw the ball really well and also was the leading rusher last year.
They lost their leading running back behind Cordeiro and will probably not have much behind the QB, and they also lost two big receiving threats as well so they may not have much on the offense outside of the Qb and RB/WR Calvin Turner.
The Oline also isn’t great.
The defense returns the most talent, but I just can’t see how they will contain the UCLA offense

The thing that worries me is how UCLA found themselves in close games last year all of the time with basically the same team. They are clearly way better than UCLA but can they stay out of their own way? I am still undecided but leaning UCLA. I Do love the over though, should hit easily.

Burkies Pick: Illinois +7 over Nebraska

Illinois has more experience returning than Nebraska
Adrian Martinez returns to Nebraska and will hope to stay healthy
All of the run game either graduated or transferred out so the load will be shouldered by USC transfer Markeese Stepp and Adrian Martinez mobility
There is no talent behind Martinez if he gets injured again
#1 receiver Wandale Robinson transferred out, who had as many receptions combined as the 3 guys behind him last year. Tight Ends should be a strong point of the offense this year
Nebraska seemed to regress talent wise from last year, but does return almost everyone on defense

Illinois will roll out Brandon Peters again, who I think is a bit underrated and will return his top 3 rushing threats in the backfield and 2 of his top 3 receivers. Illinois also has a stout offensive line and Nebraska defense probably won’t be able to get to Peters all that much.
Illinois is also starting fresh this year with Bret Bielema as head coach, so the team will hopefully be more disciplined and it should really help an offense that is already lined with veterans.

Last year, Nebraska lost to Illinois 41-23, turning the ball over 5 times.
