The Washington State Cougars host their east-side instate rival Eastern Washington Eagles this Saturday evening in Pullman. The two schools are a little more than an hour apart from each other and have met a few times over the years—Eastern Washington may be from the lower BIG Sky Conference, but they are as good or better than any team the Cougars have faced this season. WSU is 15.5 points better according to the market at the sportsbooks.
In 2017, USC needed some good ball bounces and almost 400 yards from Sam Darnold to narrowly avert defeat at home to the Longhorns. Now in Texas, maybe the Longhorns can do one better against a depreciated USC offense. Is it ripe for Texas as a 3 point favorite to get the W? Loot Levinson makes his college football pick on USC Trojans vs. Texas Longhorns who play Saturday 9/15/2018.
The crowd was pumped in Oakland on Monday Night, celebrating the return of John Gruden. Beyond that there wasn’t much to celebrate for Raider Nation. The Broncos on the other hand pulled out a nice win versus Seattle. Can Gruden get his first win… Or at least cover that six?
Things didn’t go so great for Jimmy Garoppolo and the Niners in week one, with a 24-16 loss and no-cover at Minnesota. For the Lions, first signs were not good. Matthew Stafford struggled behind a line that might not have come along as far as some have thought. Which QBs bounce back in week 2?
Loot Levinson breaks down the week 2 match-up between the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams.

Will this trend continue?
The Eagles make the trip to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday for a week 2 NFC battle versus the Buccaneers. Both teams won their opener. The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles overcame a slow start to beat a good Falcons team on Thursday, 18-12, showing a lot of what made them so good last season. Tampa, meanwhile, was the surprise of week 1, handing the Saints an earlier than expected L. Who can take it to 2-0 on Sunday in Tampa? Read Loot Levinson’s breakdown.
The LA Chargers rack up some frequent flier miles as they travel to New Era Field to take on the Buffalo Bills in a week two AFC contest. Both teams had an awful week 1. The Chargers, with all the preseason talk about how good they could be, fell to the Chiefs at home, 38-28, in a game that wasn’t as close as the final suggests. Not to be outdone, the Bills, fell harder in their opener, with a 47-3 loss on the road against the Ravens. Who can get that first win of the season this week in Buffalo? Loot Levinson breaks down this game and the sportsbook’s growing line of 7.5.
