Rotation #360
NC State -5.5 over Liberty
Hugh Freeze is the man. What a coach! The Flames are 8-0 this year, but their schedule has been easy. This team did beat Syracuse which has their own injury issues, but the win at VTech proves this is a really good team. I just don't think they can continue to keep it up against better athletes. This is a really light offensive line that I believe the Wolfpack front seven can handle. NC State has so many great offensive weapons and their offensive line should hold up against this defense and any pressure it brings. This is a game in which NC State is the bigger and more physical team and they should have no problem putting up 40 plus points. Liberty will be undefeated no more. Take NC State.

Rotation #261
Bucs -5.5 over Panthers
Bucs/Panthers Over 51
Tampa got beat up bad last week and are looking for a punching bag. The Panthers have a first year staff that has been excellent, but I just don’t see them stopping all of the Bucs weapons. This defense does not have the same talent as the Saints. This is a big divisional game and I believe Tampa will get back on track with all of their receivers finally being healthy again. Carolina will be without Christian McCaffrey which always hurts their chances, as he means more to his team than just about anybody in the NFL. This a good Panthers offense that will put up points. The wind is bad all over the NFL this afternoon, but this game will be not too bad. I think this will turn into a pretty entertaining shootout, but it will be the Bucs that pull away late. Take Tampa and the Over.

Rotation #458
Texans +2 over Patriots
Texans/Patriots Over 48.5
The Texans have the worst defense in the NFL. There is no doubt Bill Belichick will find ways to put points on the board. This New England team is flawed. I know the general public thinks they are back after beating Baltimore last Sunday Night, but the conditions in that game were brutal. This game today is indoors and I believe the Texans Offense is going to have a field day. New England just doesn’t have a healthy front seven on defense. The Texans have so many talented skill players that should be able to get open. New England has a great secondary, but it’s only as good as the protection they get up front. The entire Patriots defensive line is out or on the injury report today and the linebackers are banged up as well. Deshaun Watson is going to be a nightmare to slow down today with his duel threat ability. Take the Texans and the Over.
