I went 67-39 (63 percent) in college football in 2022 as verified by Vegas Insider by combining many handicapping factors such as matchup analysis, statistics, history, weather and situational elements. Information is the key. I'm fortunate that I have many sources to rely on. Many stem from having been a sportswriter/sports editor for daily newspapers in the Midwest, South and West for more than 20 years and having been the sports gaming writer for the Las Vegas Review-Journal for 13 years while also having covered the UNLV football team as the team beat writer for several years. I have the knowledge, experience and resources necessary to win.

I see this as a blowout victory for the Texans. CJ Stroud is having a big season and his receiving corps is upgraded with the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr.
The Giants are going to be without their three best defensive players. Out are linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, pass rusher Brian Burns and safety Jevon Holland.
Stroud is a pocket passer. The Giants lack the pass rush and experienced safeties to keep him off his rhythm.
I'm not expecting much from J.J. McCarthy in his first start as a Giant. McCarthy was surprisingly effective in relief of Jameis Winston in garbage time at home against the Saints last week. But the Texans have a much better defense than New Orleans and McCarthy is now on the road.
The Texans have a strong pass rush and have up-to-date film of McCarthy, who was terrible with the Vikings.
YESTERDAY'S PLAYS

We know the youthful Bucks are in a major rebuild while the 76ers are demonstrating that they could be the best team in the NBA now with the additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown.
But not only is this a major letdown spot for the 76ers after opening the season with a nationally televised road win against the Knicks and then beating the Cavaliers at home, but it also is a lookahead spot for Philly.
The 76ers host the Pistons on Sunday. Detroit is 2-0 with impressive victories against the Celtics and Heat.
So I don't see the 76ers going all out to beat a lowly Bucks team.
Defense is a word not usually associated with the Predators or the Penguins. But I think we get a defensive game here. So I am going Under.
Predators coach Andrew Brunette ripped his team following a 6-0 road loss to Boston this past Thursday. Juuse Saros is expected back in net for Nashville after resting on Thursday. He has a .914 save percentage in 13 games against the Penguins.
Pittsburgh is placing more emphasis on its defense. It showed on Thursday when the Penguins shut out the Panthers, 4-0. Arturs Silovs was in goal for Pittsburgh in that game. He is projected to start here. Silovs has a .919 save percentage in two lifetime games against Nashville.
The Penguins have yet to allow a power-play goal at home this season.
BYU reached that lofty status by upsetting Notre Dame, 28-24, as a 10 1/2-point home underdog last week. That raised the Cougars to their highest ranking since finishing the 1984 season at No. 1.
Heady stuff for BYU. But now UCF gets to play its biggest game of the year at home where it is 3-0, including a 21-13 upset win against TCU. BYU is the highest-ranked visiting team to come to Orlando to play in the Bounce House.
The Knights had two weeks to prepare for this matchup having been idle last week, while BYU is traveling cross country for a day game in a monster letdown spot after throwing everything it could at Notre Dame.
UFC has held its opponents to an average of 21.7 points a game and ranks 40th in run defense. BYU Is not great offensively, especially missing its star running back injured L.J. Martin.
The Cougars rank 11th in the Big 12 in total offense with 421.2 yards per game and ninth in scoring with 33.5 points per game. BYU defeated TCU by fewer points than the Knights did.
Baylor has held every opponent it has faced this season below 20 points. I don't see Kansas changing that.
The Bears rank in the top 10 in both scoring defense and run defense.
The Jayhawks are run oriented. However, they are going to have problems running on the Bears and I don't trust Kansas QB Isaiah Marshall to dent Baylor's defense through the air.
Marshall has completed just 48% of his passes against Power 4 opponents with a 6-to-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
I am not a fan of Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway. He wasn't good at Florida and he hasn't set the world on fire either at Baylor completing only 50% of his passes with a 76.1 quarterback rating. Kansas ranks 27th in pass defense and has improved its run defense.
