Saturday Late Picks: Jeph FREE Picks

Two Jeph Picks for late Saturday, Week 1 in college football 2024

 

Pick 1:  Notre Dame +3

 

  • Why is Texas A&M favored in this game?  ND has the better defense.  Yes, there are questions on the ND o-line, but the wrong team is favored
  • There is a ton of excitement in AggieLand with the new head coach and his potential, but this is a tough early non-conference matchup
  • Expect conservative offenses and the defenses to dictate action for most of the game
 
Final Score Prediction:  Notre Dame 20, Texas A&M 17

 

Pick 2:  Fresno State +21

  • Michigan lost a ton of starters to the NFL, including former head coach Jim Harbaugh, now with the Chargers
  • Too many points for the opener with so many new parts on the Michigan side
  • Fresno State is picked to finish 2nd in the Mountain West and will do just enough to cover this one
 
Final Score Prediction:  Michigan 35, Fresno State 16
