The Hedgie's Opening NFL Play of the 2021 Season is Tonight !

 

The Super Bowl Champion Bucs Return ALL 22 Starters 


Tonight opens a new NFL Season with the Tampa Bay Bucs hosting the Dallas Cowboys.  This line has been Bucs -6.5 for the  past month .  Dak Prescott appears ready to start his first game since last year when he broke his leg in a gruesome injury .  HOWEVER,  his Offensive line is NOT READY and banged up. 4 time pro bowler Zach Martin is on the Covid 19 list and will not play.   Connor Williams has had limited reps and La'el Collins has been dealing with neck stingers the past month.    
  On the other hand the Bucs are completely healthy and Tom Brady is in sync with his offense just as he was when the season finished.  Last year it took Brady and his offense  6 weeks to really gel. Now as per star WR. Mike Evans ' We are miles ahead of where we were last year'. 
So where is the spread now ?  On game night?     The Hedgie clearly loves the Bucs -6.5. BUT that line is no longer here.  The betting public  knows all this recent news and is ALL OVER THE BUCS. The line has gone to Bucs -9 and in some spots Bucs -10. The total has gone from. 51 to 52.  The Bucs are the only side here tonight and for the few that got down on the earlier line the The Hedgie recommends :

TEASER : BUCS -3 and OVER 46 2 stars 

Prediction : Bucs 33 - Boys 20

Opening Saturday of the 2021 Season starts tomorrow ! The Hedgie has 3 plays

 12:00 Pm ET : Western Michigan @ Michigan

    Just can't trust Harbaugh laying a big number like this . Michigan is 4-11 against the spread it's last 15 non conference opponents. Grab the points with the better Qb in Kaleb Eleby.

     Western Michigan +17  1 star 


12:00 pm ET  : Penn State @ Wisconsin

      Penn State finished last season on a hot streak .  HC Franklin has a nice 8-3 ats record as a road dog last 11 games. This feels like too many points to be spotting in this big ten battle.  There is also money coming in on Penn St as many lines are now +5.5.  Hedgie found +6 (-115) so if you play the nittany lions it's best to grab the points now .

          Penn State +6  (-115) 1 star


4:30 ET :  UL- Lafayette  @ Texas  

   Coach Bill Napier's Rajun Cajuns are ranked 23rd in the nation and are riding a 7 game win streak . #19 Texas starts are new era with new Head Coach Steve Sarkesian and a new starting QB Hudson Card.   9 points feels like a bit much to being laying.

    UL-Lafayette +9  2 stars


Best of luck this season !

MADNESS IS HERE !

 




6:27PM Thursday 

Drake's leading scorer , Shaquan Hemphill , is back after breaking his foot Feb 10th.  He practiced this week and will play.  Even if not 100% this is an emotional boost to a team that's already a polished squad


DRAKE -2   3 stars 


9:57 PM Thursday

UCLA/MICH ST  UNDER 135  1 star

SUPER BOWL 55



To The Hedgie this game comes down to the interior linemen.  The Bucs defense with JPP and Shaq Barrett are surging right now . Last game A Rogers was running for his life.   This game BOTH Chiefs Starting Tacklers are OUT.   LT Fischer is as good as it gets and he tore his achilles last game.  

    This game will be played on grass and Hedgie sees this as a 15 round heavyweight game going the distance.  Chiefs will need to establish the run to keep the pressure off Mahomes and the Bucs will exploit the Chiefs 32nd ranked run defense .  This eventually will allow Brady to work the play action...


 BUCS 27 

CHIEFS 24

 

BUCS +3 3 stars

UNDER 56 2 stars


PARLAY BUCS & UNDER 1 star 



Prop Play:  Decent value on Clyde Edwards Helaire to score first TD at 12-1.  He's been practicing all week and ulilized in the run & pass game

Half Star
