Kyle Hunter Free Sports Picks & Handicapping Review

Free Play Under- Cincinnati has picked up their pace so far this season, but they are also the 2nd ranked defense in terms of efficiency in the nation. The Bearcats are favorites by 25 points here, and they play Louisville in their next game. I think they are less likely to try to run up the score in this type of a situation. Mount St. Mary's is very poor on offense, and they slow the game down as much as they can. Take the under.

(HUGE 28-6 run in my last 34 plays overall. 9-2 on Saturday. Sunday CBB Trio and NFL Entire Card 3 Pack are both up. Get on board!)

*3 Star Play Under* The Illinois State Redbirds have played three games, and all three of their opponents rank in the top 80 in the country in tempo. Illinois State prefers to play a slow halfcourt style of game, and they are finally up against an opponent who wants to play that same way.

Long Beach State is a bottom 75 tempo type of team. The 49ers severely lack in scoring firepower. They turn the ball over a bunch too.

This total is a few points too high.

Take the under.

*4 Star Play Under* The Oklahoma State Cowboys do play fast, but they are far better on defense than offense. Corpus Christi is slowing down the pace a lot from a year ago. This total is too high unless they shoot lights out.

Take the under.

*3 Star Play Under* I view Maine as a very good under team with their style of play. Maine plays at a slow pace, and they are a tough defensive team. Maine had several good outside shooters last year, but they lost most of them to graduation.

Quinnipiac does play pretty fast, but they have slowed down a touch from last year, and they are good on defense as well.

These two played last year and it was 58-55. I don't think this one will be that low, but I like it to stay under this total.

Take the under.

*3 Star Play on Vikings* The Chicago Bears have been on a nice winning streak of late, but Chicago has had some wild come from behind victories where they have been fortunate. Chicago is a bottom five defense in the NFL. Caleb Williams has a tough test here too going up against a really good Vikings pass rush. The Bears are -0.4 yards per play margin on the season, so they have been outplayed despite their strong record.

Minnesota played well for much of the game against the Ravens, and the Vikings are now healthier on the offensive line. The Vikings have the edge in the trenches in this game.

Minnesota has a nice home field advantage too.

I'll lay it here.

Take Minnesota.

*3 Star Play on 49ers* The San Francisco 49ers are starting to get healthier. We get a chance to buy low here with them coming off a beating from the Rams last week. Brock Purdy is back and he has historically played very well against Arizona.

The Arizona Cardinals start Brissett at quarterback, but the skill position players around him are a bunch of backups. Harrison Jr. is a big loss at wide receiver and the Cardinals lack a true NFL starter at running back. The cornerbacks are badly banged up for the Cardinals too.

San Francisco is a proud team, and now they are getting their offensive weapons back.

Take the 49ers here.

*3 Star Play Under* The Cleveland Browns still have a strong defense, but the offense is really lacking. The passing game for Cleveland is often non existent in key moments. At times they can get the running game going, but I expect the Ravens to load up the box here and dare Cleveland to throw the ball.

Baltimore's offense is a very good one, but they are primarily good at running the ball. Cleveland is second in the NFL in yards per carry allowed. At home this year, Cleveland is allowing a league best 3.0 yards per carry.

The weather in Cleveland is a big factor here. Sunday's forecast calls for 23 mph sustained winds with gusts to 37 mph. That will make it very tough to throw the ball down the field. A more conservative game plan.

Take the under.
