Rating: 2 Units This is a classic matchup, most notably in the Quarterbacking category, as both Texas, (with Ehlinger), & Lsu, (with Burrow), have 2 of the nation's top signal callers. And did they ever shine in their prospective openers. Ehlinger: 28-of-38 & 4/0 (in wipeout of LaTech); Burrow: 23-of-27, & 5/0 (all in first half, in demolition of Georgia Southern). In last year's bowls, these 2 were among the most impressive, with the Bayous destroying Central Florida statwise, & the Steers (+13) upsetting Georgia. The dog is 16-5 ATS in Longhorn games. We ride it again.

Rating: 2 Units It didn't take long for the public to jump on the Knights, as a single digit chalk vs an outfit which enters off a trip to Ohio State, in a game that saw the Owls allow 4 TD passes in the first 8:10 (Fields for Haskins), while eventually covering the 27½ point spot in a 45-24 final, as new Buckeye HC Day then went to the running game, resulting in a 237-22 overland edge. The Knights have been spectacular, topping 37 points no less than 21 times since '17, with accompanying, 26-1 SU run (24-10 ATS). Check 338-4 rushing yard edge in their opener.

Rating: 2 Units Rockies' right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-6, 8.07 ERA) has been as poor in his nine outings this season as the record and ERA would suggest. Last time out, Gonzalez was tagged with seven runs on as many hits while recording just two outs. He has made eight starts this year, and the Rockies have failed to cover the runline in all of those games. As for Dodgers starter Julio Urias (4-3, 2.53 ERA), he has made just six starts this year, but Urias has put in plenty of work as a reliever and a sub-three ERA over 67-plus innings of work is impressive.

Rating: 2 Units Mighty Sooners are again figured among the elite squads, with their annually overpowering offense. Such is the case once more, despite the departure of QB Murray (OU's 2nd consecutive Heisman winner). Alabama transfer Jalen Hurts starts in place of Murray, & certainly had his moments with the 'Tide, but he just doesn't possess the pure passing ability of either Mayfield & Murray, which will be needed, as the Okie "D" allowed 454 ppg & 33 ppg in '18. Prime example is Sooners' 345-317 pt edge in their last 7 games. The Cougars are led by super QB King, who does it overhead, & overland leading the UH "O" to 41 or more points ten times LY

Rating: 2 Units You have to go back decades to find the last time that the Cadets have been pegged as this much of a chalk, which naturally gives the public pause, despite their steady climb over the last 3 years, which have seen them come from a 2-10 record in '15, to 8-5 in '16, to 10-3 in '17, to 11-2 in '18 (never won 11 games, previously). Of course, they do it with a running game that forced overtime at Oklahoma, as a 31-pt underdog (339 RYs), & routed Houston, 70-14 in the Armed Forces Bowl (507 yds). Owl fans were expecting more, following three straight bowl seasons, but things have turned around, with a combined 6-31 in their 3 years since. Sure, it's heavy spot, but no letup with military teams, thus a continuation of upswing

Still, opening the season in Hawaii has not been an ideal location for visiting teams as they are just 3-3 SU and 0-6 ATS in this role since 2010. On the flip side, the deeply experienced Warriors improved from 3 wins to an 8-victory bowl unit last season and return 18 staters this year. Hawaii is also 6-0 ATS at home against Pac-12 opponents.

Meanwhile, former defensive coordinator and new Miami head coach Manny Diaz will likely be searching for a go-to signal caller throughout most of the season.

Gonzales is hard to beat when he's on a roll and the Mariners are 14-6 in his last 20 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance. We can also note that the Brewers are 0-5 in their last five games vs. a left-handed starter.
