Thursday night Football picks

Picks for Thursday night.

Not long until kickoff for NCAA and NFL games back in the USA, mid morning starts for Aussie viewers.

My full slate of weekend tips will go up overnight and Saturday but firstly, let's tip the Thursday night action.

NCAA

Clemson (11) @ Louisville 

An early ACC game for the Tigers in Louisville tonight against the Cardinals who tested Auburn in Week 1 and fell short against Houston at home in their opening two games.

Clemson will have to control the clock and keep the Louisville offense one the sidelines in this one. Then again, the Cardinals could be down after the two early setbacks which could lead to a blowout.

I think they will make a run in their first conference game but eventually get worn down.

Clemson by 34-24

NFL

Denver @ Kansas City

The Broncos escaped against Baltimore last week at home and will need a big effort on the road against the Chiefs on the road. Meanwhile, the Chiefs scored a road win in Houston against the promising Titans.

This one will go back and forth for a bit but the Chiefs should hang on for the critical AFC West division win.

Kansas City by 28-24

Enjoy the games, more picks coming for the weekend.
