The Parramatta Eels, in strong form with recent wins over top teams and a confident lineup, face the struggling Newcastle Knights who are on an eight-game losing streak and have poor recent head-to-head results in Sydney.
Key Factors to Consider
Parramatta Eels are in strong momentum with recent victories including against the Roosters and Warriors. Newcastle Knights have lost their last 8 games, showing defensive vulnerabilities and a late-season collapse.
The Eels have dominated recent matchups, winning 7 of the last 8 encounters, including all Sydney-based matches since 2018.
No major injuries reported for Parramatta; Dylan Brown returns bolstering the Eels' backline. Newcastle's injury details are minimal but their form decline suggests weakened squad depth.
CommBank Stadium favors Parramatta with home ground advantage and supportive crowd. No weather or other external conditions reported to impact play negatively.
Parramatta look motivated to finish the season strongly with a farewell game for Dylan Brown, while Newcastle are demoralized due to their long losing streak and poor playoff chances.
The Dolphins face the Canberra Raiders in a crucial NRL Round 27 match with the Dolphins keen to secure a strong finals position and the Raiders resting key players after securing the minor premiership.
Key Factors to Consider
The Dolphins have the highest scoring attack in the NRL and have snapped a three-game losing streak with a recent win, boosted by the return of Herbie Farnworth. In contrast, the Raiders, already minor premiers, have rested many stars, fielding largely a second-string lineup.
Recent simulations give the Dolphins a 69% chance to win, supported by consistent favorite betting odds around $1.25 to $1.26 for the Dolphins, indicating confidence in their winning likelihood.
The Raiders have multiple key players rested, weakening their typical starting lineup. The Dolphins are relatively healthy with important returns such as Herbie Farnworth.
Playing at home in Kayo Stadium benefits the Dolphins. The timing provides them rest advantage while Canberra is focusing on preservation of players for finals.
The Dolphins have a high motivation to win to solidify finals hopes. The Raiders, having already secured minor premiership, are less motivated and prioritizing player rest.

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors host the Sam Houston State Bearkats in a Week 2 NCAA football matchup. Hawaii aims to rebound after a heavy loss and carries momentum as a consistent September favorite, while Sam Houston State is winless ATS as an underdog this year.
Key Factors to Consider
Hawaii is 1-1 this season, recovering from a 40-6 loss to Arizona but showing balanced offensive production with effective passing and rushing. Sam Houston State is 0-2, struggling to cover spreads and failing to deliver as road underdogs.
No recent direct H2H data available, but Hawaii has a strong September home record and consistent success as favorites in recent years.
No significant injury reports impacting key players for either team reported.
Hawaii benefits from home-field advantage and travel challenges for Sam Houston State. Weather and typical travel fatigue over distance may favor Hawaii.
Hawaii has strong motivation to bounce back from a heavy defeat and maintain a winning September March, while Sam Houston State looks to gain its first win of the season but lacks ATS confidence on the road.

Game Overview
A mismatch between Washington Huskies and UC Davis Aggies, with Washington heavily favored due to stronger football program infrastructure and home advantage. Both teams won their season openers, but Washington's dominance in talent and historical performance suggests a one-sided contest.
Key Factors to Consider
Washington is 1-0 this season coming off a strong program with 17-8 SU in last 25 games. UC Davis is 1-0 but a smaller FCS program with less depth and talent.
Limited recent direct matchups; Washington has dominant records over non-power conference teams at home, including a 16-game winning streak against non-AP-ranked opponents at Husky Stadium.
No significant injury reports noted for Washington. UC Davis lineup appears intact from available reports.
Washington hosts at home with warm (71°F), slight rain (34%) conditions and moderate wind, little likely impact on a strong home team.
Washington aims to continue dominance and meet expectations as a top program; UC Davis seeks a competitive upset but faces a significant challenge against an elite opponent.

The Washington State Cougars and San Diego State Aztecs both enter the season opener with 1-0 records, meeting at Martin Stadium. The contest is expected to be closely fought, with the Cougars slightly favored at home in a game projected around a moderate scoring total.
Key Factors to Consider
Both teams started 1-0 showing competent form. Washington State's offense is projected to be strong and efficient at home, while San Diego State boasts a tough defense that can keep games close.
Recent H2H data is limited; historically, meetings have been competitive with no significant dominance by either team.
No reported injuries for either team ahead of the matchup, suggesting full-strength lineups.
Playing at home gives Washington State a minor advantage; travel and environment may slightly affect San Diego State.
Season opener stakes are high for both programs, aiming to start 2-0 and build momentum, providing strong motivation for both sides.

The BYU Cougars, coming off a dominant 1-0 start, host the Stanford Cardinal who are 0-1. BYU is a heavy favorite with a double-digit spread and substantial moneyline advantage, indicating expectations for a lopsided game.
Key Factors to Consider
BYU showed offensive dominance opening the season with a 69-0 blowout against an FCS opponent, while Stanford struggled offensively in their opener, managing only 20 points with a low yards per play average. BYU has a markedly stronger offensive unit and defense compared to Stanford.
Recent head-to-head matchups favor BYU, with the Cougars consistently outperforming Stanford both in win margins and covering spreads in recent seasons. Stanford has struggled to keep pace against BYU's offensive scheme.
No major injuries reported for BYU impacting the key offensive and defensive starters. Stanford's roster appears intact but their lack of offensive weapons remains a limiting factor.
Home-field advantage for BYU with the game in Provo, Utah, supports their likelihood of winning big. The game timing and location favor BYU fans and conditions.
BYU is motivated to maintain momentum after a strong season opener. Stanford looks to rebound from a disappointing start and will lean heavily on their running game to manage the clock and keep BYU's offense off the field.

Arizona Wildcats (1-0) host Weber State Wildcats (0-1) in an NCAAF game where Arizona, a Power Five FBS team, has a significant talent, depth, and class advantage over FCS Weber State. Arizona is coming off a strong season opener performance with a 40-point game, while Weber State has struggled in their season opener and historically against higher-tier teams.
Key Factors to Consider
Arizona is 1-0 with a decisive win over Hawaii scoring 40 points, showing offensive improvement under a new coaching staff. Weber State is 0-1 and allowed 45 points in their opener, with weak offensive production (low passing completion and rushing yards).
No recent direct head-to-head history available. Arizona historically struggles against Utah teams but given Weber State’s FCS status and recent form, Arizona holds a dominant expected edge.
No significant injuries reported for either team that would materially impact the outcome.
Game played at Arizona Stadium with home advantage and favorable weather (83°F, low rain chance). Crowd support heavily favors Arizona.
Arizona aims to maintain momentum after a strong season start and prove progress under new coordinators. Weber State motivated as underdog but facing a tough challenge stepping up to FBS level.
