This has the makings of a competitive contest, as Missouri (8-0) has yet to lose and Notre Dame (5-3) is undefeated (4-0) at home.

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 12/1/25 NY GIANTS @ NEW ENGLAND (NE -7, 46.5) TREYVEON HENDERSON OVER 63.5 RUSHING YARDS Ever since the Patriots played Cleveland on Oct. 26, Henderson has played a much bigger role in the New England run offense. His carries per game has gone up as well as his rushing yards per game. Over the last five games (which starts with the game against the Browns), Henderson has averaged 81 yards per game. He's gone Over his

The Fighting Irish average 41.4 points per game this season. They have scored at least 34 points in 8 of their 11 games this season. Notre Dame can do it on the ground or through the air. The Irish face a Stanford defense that has had its issues this season. The Cardi

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/28/25 TEXAS A&M @ TEXAS (A&M -2.5, 52.5) TEXAS TEAM TOTAL UNDER 25.5 The Texas defense gets a ton of hype and rightfully so. The Longhorns are very good. They rank No. 7 against the run and they're 25th in scoring defense. However, the Longhorns have given up 37, 35, and 31 points over their last three games. What many may not realize is that the A&M defense might be even better than the Longhorns

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CBB Picks, CBB Free Picks, CBB Predictions 11/26/25 VIRGINIA TECH vs. COLORADO STATE (VT -5.5, 154.5 In the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament on Wednesday at Paradise Island, Bahamas, Virginia Tech will attempt to maintain their impressive start to the season against Colorado State. Virginia Tech (5-0) is averaging 92.2 points a game this year and is coming off a 78-61 over Bryant on Nov. 19 despite losing Amani Hansberry, who w

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 11/24/25 CAROLINA @ SAN FRANCISCO (SF -1.5, 49.5) RICKY PEARSALL OVER 3.5 RECEPTIONS Brandon Aiyuk is out tonight (and possibly for much longer) and Pearsall should play a much bigger role. Pearsall was injured himself and missed several weeks before returning last week. He only caught one pass in the 41-22 win over Arizona. However, if you go back to the four games in which Pearsall did play this season, he went Ove

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 11/23/25 JACKSONVILLE @ ARIZONA (JAX -2.5, 47.5) CARDINALS TEAM TOTAL OVER 22.5 Jacksonville is coming off a huge 35-6 win over the Chargers last week. That was expected. The Chargers don't play well on the road and the Jags play well at home. Today, it's a reversal with Jags on the road and the Cardinals at home. Jacksonville does not play as well away from home. The Cardinals aren't a great home team, but Jacoby Br

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/22/25 BYU @ CINCINNATI (BYU -2.5, 55.5) BEAR BACHMEIER ANYTIME TD This is the highest total for a BYU game since the Cougars first game of the season. When the total for this game opened, it was at 53.5. It's been bet up to 56.5 at some sportsbooks. Both teams can score. Cincinnatti averages 34.4 points per game and BYU averages 34.1. One of the big reasons why the Cougars have been so successful

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/21/25 FLORIDA STATE @ NC STATE (FSU -5.5, 59.5) FLORIDA STATE -5.5 It's been a disappointing season overall for the Seminoles. They smacked Alabama around in the season opener and then put up ridiculous numbers against two cupcakes before the schedule caught up to them. FSU lost a shootout to Virginia, which we know now is pretty damn good at 9-2. That loss was followed by a loss to then-Top 10 Mi

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 11/20/25 BUFFALO @ HOUSTON (BUF -6, 43.5) TEXANS (1H) +3.5 It's a short week for both teams and, typically, these Thursday games favor the home team since they don't have to travel. That may be the case tonight, but the bigger issue is a Houston defense that ranks No. 1 in the NFL in points allowed per game. Houston ranks No. 1 in scoring defense allowing 16.3 points per game. They've won 3 of their last 4 games, hol

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/19/25 MIAMI (OH) @ BUFFALO (MIA -2.5, 39.5) MIAMI ML When the betting markets opened for this game, Buffalo was the early home favorite. The line has flipped to the road team, the Miami RedHawks despite some issues at quarterback. If you didn't know, Miami starting QB Dequan Finn, who had played four years at Toledo before transferring to Baylor then Miami, up and left the team last week. That lef

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/18/25 UMASS @ OHIO (OHIO -32.5, 51.5) PARKER NAVARRO ANYTIME TD Ohio is favored by 32.5 against UMass tonight. The Minutemen are the worst team in the country. They give up nearly 38 points per game and they only manage to score a little over 10 per game. The offense is awful. The defense is horrific, but still...32.5!?? If you don't want to lay the points with the Bobcats (who should win easily),

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 11/17/25 DALLAS @ LAS VEGAS (DAL -3.5, 49.5) ASHTON JEANTY OVER 85.5 RUSHING+RECEIVING YARDS The game total looks like it's hitting 50.5 at most sportsbooks, which is a clear indication that we should expect points tonight. Dallas has one of the more explosive offenses in the NFL. The Cowboys are tied for third in scoring offense averaging 29.2 points per game. Dallas also gives up over 30 points a game on defense. T

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 11/16/25 BALTIMORE @ CLEVELAND (BAL -7.5, 37.5) LAMAR JACKSON UNDER 209.5 PASSING YARDS This is one of the lower passing yards prop totals for Lamar all season. In his last two games, the totals were 222.5 and 230.5. Now, it's down to 209.5 and actually it's down to 205.5 at some sportsbooks already. Jump on this before it goes lower. The game total opened at 44.5 but has been bet all the way down to 37.5. Cleveland

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/15/25 TCU @ BYU (BYU -3.5, 50.5) BYU ML This one is pretty simple. BYU is playing a home night game and there is a huge trend here with BYU home night games. More on that in a moment. First, remember that BYU lost for the first time this season just last week. It was an ugly 29-7 loss to Texas Tech. The Cougars will look to bounce back from that loss. The Cougars are playing a TCU team that has be

This one is on the card tonight. Oregon hosts Minnesota in a Big Ten clash. It's an important one too, especially for the Ducks. They cannot afford another loss. Minnesota actually has some history of success after having a bye week under head coach PJ Fleck. In his career at Minnesota,

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 11/13/25 NY JETS @ NEW ENGLAND (NE -12.5, 42.5) DRAKE MAYE OVER 24.5 RUSHING YARDS DRAKE MAYE OVER 1.5 PASSING TDS Like the turd that was laid by the Broncos and Raiders last Thursday night, this game could be an ugly one. However, what will make it worth watching is Patriots QB Drake Maye. The second-year quarterback is an MVP contender. He's completing 71.7 percent of his passes and he has 2,555 yards and 19 touchd

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/12/25 NORTHERN ILLINOIS @ UMASS (NIU -11.5, 44) NIU -11.5 This is crazy, right? These are two of the worst teams in the FBS. They are definitely two of the worst offenses. UMass is dead last in college football in scoring. The Minutemen average just 11.3 points per game. Northern Illinois isn't much better. The Huskies rank just ahead of UMass at 135th in scoring, putting up a whopping 12.2 points

Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB Picks, CFB Free Picks, CFB Predictions 11/11/25 KENT STATE @ AKRON (AKR -5.5, 46.5) AKRON -5.5 It is Senior Night at Akron and it's also a big rivalry game. These two teams play every year for the Wagon Wheel Trophy which the Zips have won the last two seasons. You can bet they don't want to let it go, especially at home on Senior Night. Kent State is one of the worst teams in the country, but they have played better over their last few g

Coach Rick Bowe, NFL Picks, NFL Free Picks, NFL Predictions 11/9/25 PHILADELPHIA @ GREEN BAY (GB -1.5, 45.5) ROMEO DOUBS 50+ RECEIVING YARDS The Green Bay receiving corps has been thin all season, though they will have Christian Watson tonight. Matthew Golden is questionable, but he has yet to score a touchdown and he's only averaging 11.4 yards per catch. The go-to receiver for Jordan Love is Doubs. He has 34 catches for 440 yards and 4 touchdowns. With Tucker Kraft now out
