Outkick Bets: TNF and CFB, A Winning Pair
Daniel Jones (Giants) OVER 20.5 rushing yards (-114)
I am already on the first half under for tonight but I cannot leave things alone when there's more money to be had. This game is already setting up to be a battle of the brutes up-front and every yard will be so crucial so I look where other yards may come from and I think tonight we use Daniel Jones' legs. Jones ran for 74 yards in a game against Washington last season, 27 last week and more importantly, he will get the chances. Danny Dimes carried for 13 times in two games last season against WFT and six last week and I think we are looking at at least, AT LEAST four shots at this 20.5 yards and for someone that averages 6.3 yards per carry, this one is in the bag.
Ohio/Louisiana UNDER 57 (-115)
MACtion meets Fun Belt on Thursday night, the college years. Both these teams have seen tough sledding out the gate with Ohio losing it's first two to Syracuse and FCS Duquesne. Kurtis Rourke, the sophomore QB has been room-temperature water, leading an offense that hasn't topped 400 yards yet.
Louisiana, a preseason darling, got punked by Texas and then struggled against in-state FCS Nicholls State, winning by a scant field goal. They've struggled to find the endzone and are 78th in total offense and are currently 115th in total defense. Their game totals have been 56 and 54. Ohio has totaled 38 and 54. Yes, this one feels weird (technical term). Can Louisiana get out of their scoring funk or is this our 2021 Louisiana? I lean the latter for tonight, I'm on the under.
