Quick Picks with Coach Rick Bowe, CFB/NFL/MLB Picks, CFB/NFL/MLB Free Picks, CFB/NFL/MLB Predictions 9/26/24

ARMY @ TEMPLE (ARMY -12.5, 45.5)

ARMY -12.5

Temple somehow pulled out a win last week against Utah State. The Owls gave up 479 total yards but took advantage of some special teams mistakes to pull away late and pick up their first win of the season. Tonight, they might not get the ball.

Army leads the nation in rushing. The Black Knights average 346.5 yards per game. That allows them to control the clock and shorten games. Army ranks first in the country in time of possession, controlling the ball for nearly 39 minutes per game.

Temple's run defense is awful. The Owls rank 112th in defending the run. They give up 221.3 yards per game on the ground. Temple also allows 36.5 points per game, which ranks 111th in the nation. The Owls will be lucky to get 8 or 9 possessions tonight. Their offense just isnt' good enough to stay within two touchdowns of Army.

DALLAS @ NY GIANTS (DAL -6, 45.5)

GIANTS TEAM TOTAL UNDER 21.5

The Giants got a huge win last week as a road underdog. Now, they're a home underdog against their NFC East rival, Dallas. The Cowboys own this series. They have won the last six meetings in a row and 13 of the last 14. In those last six meetings, the Giants have averaged just 11.5 points per game and never scored more than 20.

New York's offense is off to its usual self in 2024, averaging 12 points per game so far. In all three games this season, the Giants have scored 21 points or less. Four of their last five games have gone Under the total, which is no surprise.

Coach Rick played the Giants team total in Week 1 and cashed it when the G-Men put up a 6-pack against the Vikings. Even against an iffy Dallas defense tonight, I like the Giants Under this number.

BALTIMORE @ NY YANKEES (NYY -134, 8)

UNDER 8

Both of these teams have clinched their playoff spots already. Tonight could be a playoff preview as we have an elite pitching matchup - Corbin Burnes vs. Gerrit Cole. Over his last two starts, Burnes has pitched a total of 14 innings - 7 in each game. He has allowed a total of 5 hits, 0 runs, and he has struck out 15.

In Cole's last four starts - throw out the Red Sox who Cole struggled with all season - in 3 of those 4, Cole allowed 1, 0, and 1 earned run. He gave up a total of 2 earned runs across 21 innings. Both he and Burnes are in great form.

The Yankees are just league average against RHP over the last month. That's part of the reason why 12 of their last 18 games have cashed on the Under. The Under has also hit in 6 of their last 8 home games and in 6 of Baltimore's last 7 on the road.
