Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NCAA Week 4 Early Games
All times Eastern
Week 3 Results: Rick: 8-4; Flip: 8-4
Friday, September 19
Iowa (-1.5, 46.5) at Rutgers 8:00 pm (FOX) - After a 7-6 campaign in 2024, Rutgers may have something going on, as they are 3-0, their last win a 60-10 romp over Norfolk State. The opposition, with conference play underway gets deeper, but Iowa doesn’t pose much of an offensive threat and lost their only road game, 16-13, at Iowa State two weeks ago.
Worth a roll of the dice on the Scarlet Knights who returned a load of upperclassmen with experience.
Coin Flip: Rutgers
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Scarlet Knights 26 Hawkeyes 17
17 Texas Tech at 16 Utah (-3.5, 57) 12:00 pm (FOX) - This should be a bang-up contest in the Big 12. Both teams enter at 3-0, with the following numbers:
Utah: points for: 137; against: 25
Texas Tech: points for: 174; against: 35
The difference is that the Utes have played only one home game, so they’re road-tested. Texas Tech, which bombed Oregon State last week, 45-14, is loaded offensively. Including wideout Coy Eakin. The Utes are usually very defensive-minded but may have trouble getting off the field against the run and gun Red Raiders. Utah has allowed only one touchdown this season. That’s about to change.
Coin Flip: Utah
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Red Raiders 34 Utes 31
For all the hype that has gone into hyping the Tigers as a playoff contender, and QB Cade Klubnik as a Heisman candidate, they don’t look like a 17-point favorite against the Orange, who lost their opener to Tennessee, 45-26, but rebounded with two non-conference wins. SU QB Steve Angeli has already thrown for 1,072 yards in three games with 8 TDs and one pick. Let’s see how good the Tigers are on defense.
Coin Flip: Syracuse
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Orange 34 Tigers 27
Auburn put a burn on Baylor in Week 1, 38-24, and then clubbed a couple of walkover opponents. The Tigers are led by dual threat QB Jackson Arnold and bruising RB Jeremiah Cobb. Hard to see the Sooners as almost a TD favorite here.
Coin Flip: Auburn
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Sooners 26 Tigers 22
That’s a lot of pressure on Rhule, but it’s just the way it is. They were 7-6 last season. This year, 10 wins or bust. Actually, if Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola can stop trying to be Patrick Mahomes and just play his own game, he has the skills and players to defeat the Michigan defense.
Coin Flip: Nebraska
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cornhuskers 30 Wolverines 20
