Welcome to Week 2 of the VSiN Point Spread Weekly, and welcome to the start of Welcome to another exciting NFL season. We hope all of you were able to get a copy of last week’s college football kickoff issue and enjoyed Point Spread the coverage. In this week’s issue, we will cover the kickoff of the 2017 NFL season as Weekly well as the college second week action. Thank you for the great response we received over the past week. We have made no bones about it, our goal is to make Point Spread Weekly the ultimate College & Pro Football BETTING Resource. If you agree that we have, make sure to get yourself locked in for a season subscription at a heavily discounted rate from our weekly cover price.

Among many regular features you will become used to, last week we introduced a trio of proprietary STRENGTH RATINGS. These are my POWER RATINGS, EFFECTIVE STRENGTH INDICATORS and BETTORS’ RATINGS. They are each born from unique formulas I’ve developed over the last seven years. After felding several questions regarding the ratings last week, here is a quick explanation of each:

• The Power Ratings are my own manually adjusted ratings updated after every game based upon analysis of live action and box scores • The Effective Strength Ratings are purely statistical ratings, using the teams’ key stats against schedule strength and their previous opponents’ averages. These are also adjusted for any key injuries the team had endured or faced against. • The Bettors Ratings are a quantifed interpretation of how bettors perceive teams based upon how lines of recent games have moved and closed.

For the record, in last week’s college football kickoff issue, our Bettors’ Ratings were 7-3 ATS in our 10 featured games, while our Power Ratings and Effective Strength Indicators were 6-4 ATS.

In this week’s issue, besides the usual tips, stats, trends and such, we also offer up some feature articles. In college, there is a piece on Teams Trending Downward Heading into 2017, as well as the continued series on College Football Stability mismatches. We also offer a special NFL Systems article, detailing unique betting angles that have performed very well in Week 1 of recent NFL seasons, taking into account lines, totals, and stats from last season.

There are also NFL columns from Brent Musburger and a Q&A with Warren Sharp, who offers up his expertise on some specifc teams’ win totals for the upcoming season.

As a reminder, be sure to visit VSiN.com this week to watch the live programming and to get the latest news and updates on line movements. If you haven’t done so yet, you defnitely should sign up for the VSiN newsletter.

Let’s cash some tickets this weekend! Good luck from everyone at VSiN!

VSiN.COM - VEGAS STATS & INFORMATION NETWORK Matt Youmans’ 3 NFL Games to Watch RAIDERS-TITANS -2 proved to be a Vegas kind of guy last year. He was more than willing to gamble, and he won most of the time. The Raiders were good, Line but they also were riding a lucky roll, winning fve games by three points or fewer on the way to 12-4. The coach pressed at the right times, and Derek 51 Carr delivered. Carr has become a legit elite . He passed for Total 28 touchdowns with six interceptions and posted the league’s eighth-best passer rating (96.7) in 2016. On top of the numbers, he’s a strong leader. He has plenty of pass-catching weapons and should add a punishing element to the running attack. Oakland ranked sixth in the NFL in total offense (373.3 yards per game) and seventh in scoring (26.0). The Raiders will have a top-10 offense again, but there are problems on the other side of the ball, where they ranked 26th in total defense and still show too many weaknesses in the secondary. Tennessee can exploit those weak spots. The Titans, No. 3 in rushing offense at 136.7 yards per game, are built to play power football with a top-notch line and tough runners. is maturing as a passer in much the same way Carr did a year ago. These offenses are nearly mirror images. Tennessee is a little better defensively, though. Carr and the Raiders escaped Nashville with a 17-10 win last September. In the NFL, a team that was lucky one year tends to get the worst of it the next year. This looks like a good time to back the Titans as 1½-point favorites.

STEELERS-BROWNS A rookie quarterback making his frst start is typically in a bet-against spot. +9 DeShone Kizer, a second-round pick from Notre Dame, won Cleveland’s Line quarterback job by default. After a one-win fasco of a season, the Browns have nothing to lose by launching their future now. Kizer will show fashes of 46.5 playmaking brilliance and endure stretches of blunders. Kizer has exciting Total potential, but he’s simply not ready for an improved Pittsburgh defense. And it would be stunning if he debuted by beating Big Ben in a head-to-head duel. Now that Le’Veon Bell is ready to roll, is surrounded by an explosive cast of big-play threats. This handicapper puts Pittsburgh No. 2 in the NFL power rankings, behind New England and one spot above Green Bay. There’s no need to dig deep into the numbers with these AFC North teams. What matters is Roethlisberger has a 21-2 career record against Cleveland, and he’s not losing this game to a rookie. Laying more than a touchdown on the road is playing with fre. However, playing 6- or 6½-point teasers can be a smart strategy for bettors to utilize in the NFL. The advice here is to go the safe route and play the Steelers on a teaser to knock the line — which is 8½ to 9 and could close as high as 10 by kickoff — below a feld goal.

CHARGERS-BRONCOS -3.5 In brief appearances in the preseason, Chargers quarterback was sharp. His interception total (21) was troubling last season, but that was more Line a matter of a quarterback who tried to force throws while under pressure behind a woeful offensive line. The line is much better now and the weapons 43.5 are there — running back , wideout and tight Total end , to name a few. Despite everything falling apart around him, Rivers produced a 33-touchdown season. The Chargers have the QB edge in this matchup, and their -led defense is on the rise. Bosa will put heat on , who won the Broncos’ uninspiring quarterback competition. Denver’s defense, which ranked No. 4 overall and No. 1 in the league against the pass, has declined and is not what it was the past two years. The most popular storyline with the Chargers is their move to . In handicapping this game, that storyline is irrelevant. Opinions seem to be split on the Chargers — some wiseguys love their potential and others remain pessimistic. The Chargers lost last year’s season opener in at Kansas City and dropped fve other games by four points or fewer. Rivers has a history of playing well in Denver, and he can be counted on to show up again on the Monday night stage. The recommendation is to ride Rivers and the Chargers getting points. The line is sitting at 3½ and probably will hit 4.

As per usual, the champs open the season and it should be another raucous scene at Gillette Stadium. New England is favored again to repeat, but that has not happened in 12 years, after occurring four times from 1989 to 2005. Despite incredible productivity, is still 40 and at some point Father Time wins. The Patriots are 13-3 ATS at home the past two years. Kansas City has the unenviable task as being the frst Pats opponent, but coach ’s Chiefs teams are 23-12 ATS on the road and anything over a touchdown favorite in Week 1 is a big number.

Buffalo waved the white fag to this season by trading their best and . New Sean McDermott could not possibly be pleased about that development, yet his team is still around a touchdown favorite over the , which says a lot about their skill level. New York played three in the preseason and none of them will excel on this team, based on their own merit and teammates abilities. With as bad as Gang Green appears, this line might make more sense in month than today. Last year both teams had better squads and the Jets swept the season series as underdogs.

It is well known the Super Bowl loser has not started the year well and given how Atlanta lost last year, that hangover could be something since these losers are 7-10 and 4-13 ATS since the last time the Falcons played in the big game. The Atlanta offense probably will not be quite as strong, yet the defense is a year older and has more experience. Chicago is coming off three straight losing seasons and is thought to be heading towards a fourth, but at least it will be with a different quarterback. You will not hear about the Bears and quick starts, since they are 3-8-1 ATS the past four years in September, including 0-6 ATS the last two seasons.

All we really learned about Jacksonville in the preseason is that coach is not sold on as his QB of the future. Marrone will want to generate a rushing attack and turn Bortles into more of play-action passer and control the game in that manner. Houston has been talking up Tom Savage as their signal caller, with the rest of the NFL not in agreement. The Texans are in the same boat, wanting to run frst, but they have more perimeter playmakers and a stronger defense. Houston has largely controlled this series with an 11-4 and 8-6-1 ATS home record against the Jaguars. Both clubs need a good beginning to the season and have to win division battles.

Carson Wentz has made progress as he embarks on his second season. What could hold him back is an offensive line that continues to have issues in pass protection. This is something Philadelphia has to fnd answers to otherwise Wentz and the Eagles offense will not reach potential. Philly has failed to cover six straight (1-5 SU) against Washington. The Redskins are the perfect team for the D.C. area, they love all the drama. Having gotten rid of last year’s starting wide receivers, QB and the guys are still learning each other and it shows.

Nonetheless, the have weaknesses and the secondary is worse. In a contest like this, Oakland will have to rely on past experience and they are 11-3 ATS away against AFC opponents the past two years.

VSiN.COM - VEGAS STATS & INFORMATION NETWORK If New England were somehow to falter, the team according to oddsmakers that steps into their place is Pittsburgh from the AFC. The Steelers have the ammo offensively to do a great deal of damage and with their youthful defense gaining invaluable experience the last couple years, they could be ready to take the next step. For Cleveland, the idea is simply getting better after 1-15 campaign. The last couple drafts have added players and if DeShone Kizer works out eventually at quarterback, all the better. Speaking of QB, did you know the last Browns quarterback to start 16 games in a season was Tim Couch in 2002! Cleveland is 3-12-1 ATS at home the last couple years.

When Indianapolis coach said there is no time table for Andrew Luck return, one can only surmise the recovery process is going slow and they want to make sure he’s 100 percent because the offensive line, while expected to be improved, it was a big reason why Luck needed shoulder surgery to begin with. That brings us to Scott Tolzein as the No.1 quarterback and he will try and improve on the Colts 25-12 ATS mark as a road favorite of three points or less.

VSiN.COM - VEGAS STATS & INFORMATION NETWORK Matt Youmans’ 3 College Football Games to Watch GEORGIA-NOTRE DAME -4 Are the Fighting Irish back? There were reasons to be impressed by Notre Dame in its 49-16 victory over Temple to open the season. But there also are Line reasons not to believe in the Irish until we see more. The Owls, with a new coach and quarterback, are down. Georgia is in a different league. In his 53 frst start, Brandon Wimbush showed he will be a running threat (12 carries, Total 106 yards) and solid passer (17 of 30, 184 yards, two touchdowns). He’s not close to being DeShone Kizer yet, and Kizer struggled last season in Brian Kelly’s offense. Wimbush threw one interception, but he was fortunate that number was not three. The Bulldogs, much faster and more physical than the Owls, bring a defense that will cause Wimbush problems. Aside from Equanimeous St. Brown, the Irish lack big-time receivers. Of course, Georgia is stuck without its starting quarterback, Jacob Eason, who is expected to miss the rest of this month with a sprained left knee. That’s a costly loss, although freshman Jake Fromm played well in relief last week, completing 10 of 15 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown against Appalachian State. The Bulldogs will rely on their stud running backs, Nick Chubb and , to carry the mail. Notre Dame fnished 4-8 last season, when it lost home games to Michigan State, Duke, Stanford and Virginia Tech. This is a big game for Kelly and his coaching future in South Bend. In June, South Point sports book director Chris Andrews opened Georgia as a 1-point favorite in this matchup. Eason’s injury, plus an impressive frst outing by the Irish, triggered a major line adjustment. Chubb, Michel and the better defense should give the Bulldogs a good shot to win as 6½-point road underdogs.

OKLAHOMA-OHIO STATE Lincoln Riley turned 34 on Tuesday, three days after winning his frst game -7.5 as Oklahoma coach. To cap off his birthday week, he gets to face Urban Line Meyer in Columbus. Riley’s veteran predecessor, Bob Stoops, was no match for Meyer last year. The Buckeyes stormed into Norman and embarrassed 64.5 the Sooners 45-24. J.T. Barrett outplayed Baker Mayfeld in the quarterback Total showdown. Mayfeld will play a bigger role in the sequel. Ohio State’s soft spot is its defensive secondary. In the season opener, the Buckeyes were picked apart by Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow, who’s only an above-average passer. If you read the preseason magazines, Ohio State’s defense was hyped as the second coming of the 1985 . While the defensive front is strong, the secondary is weak and a reason for Meyer to worry. Mayfeld connected on 19 of 20 passes for 329 yards and three touchdowns in the frst half of the Sooners’ 56-7 stomping of Texas-El Paso last week. Obviously, UTEP is not Ohio State, but the point is Mayfeld appears ready for this challenge. It looks like Oklahoma — after losing running backs and and wideout to the NFL — has a powerful offensive line and enough skill-position talent to compete. The biggest question is, can the Sooners slow the Buckeyes’ ground attack? Mike Weber returns this week to complement freshman star J.K. Dobbins, who ripped the Hoosiers for 181 yards on 29 carries. Oklahoma is a live ‘dog getting 7 ½ to 8 points.

STANFORD-SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA -6.5 Never overreact to one game. It’s tempting to say USC has been overhyped Line again. The Trojans needed a fourth-quarter rally to put away four-touchdown ‘dog Western Michigan last week, when Heisman contender Sam Darnold failed to throw a touchdown pass and was picked off twice. Darnold is good, 56 but he’s probably not as great as the media hype that followed his Rose Bowl Total performance. The Cardinal opened in Australia by crushing Rice 62-7, but that score was a refection of the Owls being awful. Bryce Love, who will be a fne replacement for Christian McCaffrey, ran for 180 yards. Keller Chryst also showed Stanford will get quality quarterback play. The Cardinal rolled up 656 total yards and 9.0 yards per play. While the numbers from Week 1 mean little, there were signs that Stanford is physical enough up front to do some damage against USC with its ground attack. With the line pinballing from 6½ to 7, the preferred side is the Cardinal plus-7.

Oklahoma State showed who they were in their opening game win over Tulsa and will look to improve on the road in Mobile, AL. The Cowboys QB Mason Rudolph said he spent the off-season working on accuracy and deep ball throwing and results were positive, plus it helps he has pass- catchers who will know how to get open and will fght for the ball. Okie State still has defensive concerns and will have to slow the Jaguars running game to beat huge road spread, however, they are 27-8 ATS after scoring 50+ points. Though South Alabama covered against Ole Miss, they allowed 15.3 YPC and Oklahoma State can better that number. The Jaguars are 3-12 ATS when they concede 28 or more points.

It seems odd to say, but we will have a better idea about who Michigan State is after they face Western Michigan. The Spartans packed away Bowling Green in the second half 35-10 and played more like the team we are used to seeing. Brian Lewerke appeared to be the steadying presence Michigan State needs at quarterback, however, as we witnessed last the Broncos still have scoring punch, hanging 31 on USC. Michigan State will need to show their dominance at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball to emerge victorious and beat the number. Remember this, Sparty 3-11 ATS in the frst portion of the schedule lately and Western Mich. the opposite at 11-3 ATS. 27

Lamar Jackson was not perfect for Louisville, nonetheless, his 485 yards of offense carried the Cardinals to victory over Purdue. Jackson will not be the problem if Louisville does not contend in the ACC Atlantic, now that Deondre Francois is done for FSU. The Cards cannot fumble inside the fve-yard line like they did twice in Indianapolis. The ‘Ville does come in at 9-0 ATS on the road off a 10+ point spread setback. North Carolina’s pass defense was no match for a talented inexperienced Cal quarterback and it will be a great deal more challenging dealing with Mr. Heisman. The Tar Heels will move the ball and are 9-1 ATS off one or more spread losses. With these squads, turnovers will decide outcome.

Iowa was on numerous bettors ‘upset alert’ against Wyoming and that was proven unnecessary as the Iowa defense dominated talented QB Josh Allen. Offensively, the Hawkeyes will get beat in Ames if they commit four turnovers again like they did last week. Iowa has a new group on offense and that will take some time to develop continuity and for the most part the spread refects that. Iowa is 7-5 SU and ATS in Ames recently. Iowa State won and covered versus Northern Iowa and will try and build on that and have a Hawkeye State sweep. The Cyclones have the offense to match points with their rival and cannot turn this into a grinder. The home team is just 3-6 ATS.

Penn State had not begun to believe in themselves in this Keystone State connection a year ago, but played a strong second half in losing at Pitt 42-39. Now in Happy Valley, the Nittany Lions are Top 10 material and the Panthers reconstructed offense from last season needed OT to hold off Youngstown State. The dynamic dual of RB Saquon Barkley and QB Trace McSorley lead the Lions and the defensive front seven is expected to only improve as the season goes forward. Penn State is 7-0 ATS after gaining 6.75 or more yards a play in their previous contest. For Pittsburgh to stay in this battle, they will need to move the chains running to chew up the clock and have pass rush.

These two played a 35-32 thriller with Nebraska winning last season and Oregon could have won except for too many fruitless two-point tries. The Cornhuskers have serious defensive concerns heading to Eugene after permitting over 500 yards to Arkansas State. The lone upside for the Huskers is history, in which they are 14-3 ATS after scoring and allowing 30 points or more in last game. At least the Ducks played like how they used to smashing Southern Utah 77-21, but we fnd out what kind of progress new coach Willie Taggert has made this week. Essentially, we have two fawed clubs used to winning and the winner get a temporary boost before conference play begins. Oregon is 27-12 ATS after having 200+ yards rushing advantage.

From sheer joy to off the tracks for Texas in three and half hours. Coach Tom Herman’s honeymoon period is already over and the Longhorns better blowout San Jose State by far more than the oddsmakers spread or the heat really rises. Herman is not going to change the culture of what appears to be privileged Horns players immediately, having to create hunger for success. Texas is only 11-11 ATS as 20+ point chalk since 2009. The Spartans are on the road for the frst time after 2-0 ATS start and will look to test the Longhorns defensive front with their running game and up-tempo style. San Jose State already have fve turnovers and that could bury them in Austin.

Not much to be learned from either team’s opening game blowouts. In this showdown of former pals, TCU is striving for more offensive balance and if the offensive line does the job, that makes QB Kenny Hill much more effective. The Horned Frogs are in the process of upgrading defensive line with more bulk when facing massive O-Line’s like Arkansas. Important year for Bret Bielema in Arkansas and possibly he can make more noise and needs this game. The offense is in the capable hands of QB and should have a lot of versatility. The defense changing from 4-3 to 3-4 will require adjustments, but little time afforded with this contest and the SEC ahead. Big game for both teams.

In an evening loaded with great games, this matchup might be the most telling about future results for both squads. Kelly Bryant was ready for frst game as new Clemson signal caller, but Kent State is not Auburn. Bryant will have to show poise when under duress and stick with the game plan as the Auburn defense is built to be disruptive and they just held Georgia Southern to 78 total yards. Clemson is only 2-7 ATS in Death Valley versus Top 25 foes since 2007. QB Jarrett Stidham had as good debut for Auburn and now arguably will face the best defense he will see before Alabama. The Tigers from Alabama are 13-4 ATS after rushing for 350+ yards and can engineer upset.

Georgia will be without starting QB Jacob Eason, who suffered knee injury in opener and will go with true freshman Jake Fromm. The Bulldogs would like nothing better than need Fromm like they did the last time they faced Notre Dame, when QB Buck Belue was 1-for-13 for seven yards in Sugar Bowl and they won national championship. Georgia will be handing the ball to impressive tandem of Nick Chubb and Sony Michel. We got out frst look at new Notre Dame offense without Brian Kelly calling plays and it appears they will probe weaknesses and make opponents stop them. In spite of Fromm playing, it will be too tempting for Dawgs to run the entire game against suspect Irish secondary.

Quarterback Baker Mayfeld may have new receivers but it did not matter against UTEP, as he was 19-for-20 against for 329 yards. This sets up as titanic confrontation, with Oklahoma offensive line blocking Ohio State’s defensive front and the Sooners coaches will look to understand where Indiana had so much success well into third quarter against Buckeyes defense. Ohio State will want to get J.T. Barrett into early comfort zone as he struggled at time versus the Hoosiers and no matter what anyone says, when the Buckeyes run, Barrett plays better. The Sooners are 26-18 ATS out of conference since 2007, while the Buckeyes are 10-4-1 ATS in September of late. Oklahoma looking for payback after 45-25 spanking last year in Norman. 41

In what could be the frst of two matchups between these teams, this will be one of the premier collisions of the Pac-12 campaign. Stanford routed Rice, but USC needed all four quarters to put a away a pesky Western Michigan bunch, as the Trojans were gouged for 263 yards on the ground. If USC permits anywhere close to that many yards rushing again in this contest, they will get beat. The Cardinal are expected to push Washington in the Pac-12 North and might have the horses to do so, with improvement on both sides of the line of scrimmage. What to watch for, the team with the most rushing yards has won 10 of last 11 confrontations.

Since neither team will be an actor on national stage, this is about conference pride. San Diego State is still the favorite to win the MWC West and does return RB Rashaad Penny, but has a brand new offensive line and the defense will be tested by Arizona State QB Manny Wilkins, who is a true dual threat. The Aztecs will be forced to want to throw the pigskin, since the Sun Devils had the worst pass defense in the country and just give up 395 yards to New Mexico State. ASU might have won frst game, but pass defense is still a disaster and unless they can mount pass rush, the Devils fall to 1-9 ATS in Tempe after scoring and allowing 31+ digits.

BYU was severely outclassed by LSU in 27-0 whitewashing, gaining a mere 97 yards on offense and never crossing midfeld, while being thrashed for 497 yards. The Tanner Mangum of two years ago has disappeared and unless he returns, the Cougars offense will misfre frequently. Utah arrives in Provo with an 8-3 SU and 9-2 ATS mark against BYU and low scoring has prevailed with the UNDER 8-2-1. The Utes have Top 30 talent and never have a problem getting up for the Holy War, which we are thrilled is back on again. Plain and simple, Utah has better athletes and BYU lacks perimeter players that can shake loose which does not help Mangum. Should be another entertaining close skirmish.

QB Brett Rypien is surrounded by many new faces and the Broncos were far from cohesive at home in scoring just two offensive touchdowns. Having hung on to beat Washington State last season on the blue turf 31-28 as 13-point favorites, Boise State will be an away underdog for the frst time in four years. The Cougars were just glad not to lose season opener, something they had done for fve straight years. Backed with QB Luke Falk and an improving defense that pitched shutout over Montana State (last shutout was 1999), Washington State continues to improve in Mike Leach’s sixth season.
