deskgameA matchup with the highest-scoring offense in FBS doesn’t bode well for the Cyclones. Miami scores 44 points per game, largely due to a breakout season from Ward. He set program records with 4,123 passing yards and 36 touchdowns. The Washington State transfer is also mobile, rushing for 196 yards and four scores.
deskgameNew York has been unpredictable early. It beat Philadelphia on Tuesday in the NBA Cup opener on Tuesday and then lost Wednesday to an inferior Bulls team at home. This will be the first NBA Cup game for the Nets and expect them to be geared up as usual to take on the Knicks. The intangible factor of the rivalry should help push Brooklyn to cover the spread.
deskgameDid I mention this year’s Pop-Tarts Bowl features a high-quality matchup between a pair of 10-win teams that narrowly missed the CFP? Iowa State has never won 11 games in a season. Miami’s last 11-win campaign came in 2003.
deskgameMilroe is special, but the Crimson Tide offense isn’t overwhelming. The Wolverines are a tough unit to score against. I expect Michigan to be locked in enough from the kickoff and end the Crimson Tide’s first drive with a punt.
