College football's early signing day had good news for Alabama, Oregon and Texas. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with guest writer Bryan Fischer: The Oregon Ducks were among the big winners of National Signing Day … The Dolphins-Packers game has a chance to capture the holiday audience … and more! Christmas came early for every FBS program in the country on Wednesday, as a host of stars put pen to paper with the early signing period officially opening for the Class of 2023. As is the case in pretty much every cycle, it was a wild one, as things you thought you knew coming into the week got turned around, while decision after decision popped out of left field. Who stood up with their heads held high by the time the signing period closed? And who might be fretting about the ones that got away? Here are several college football Signing Day Superlatives that will reverberate across the landscape far beyond Wednesday’s chaotic close. The Biggest Story: Quack, Quack, ‘Croot Every recruiting cycle there’s that one school that absolutely owns national signing day and takes over the narrative of the class no matter where it finishes in the team rankings. Based on their efforts with the Class of 2023, that program is the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks had a solid class going under Dan Lanning entering Year 2, but the chatter surrounding their recruiting efforts was trending negative after the late flip of Detroit (MI) five-star quarterback Dante Moore to UCLA earlier in the week. That all changed before brunch was even over on the West Coast on Wednesday however, as UO was flipping major names left and right to Hoover up tons of momentum. First, they landed Moore’s replacement in Dripping Springs (Texas) four-star quarterback Austin Novosad, after he was previously committed to Baylor. Then they stole Long Beach (Calif.) four-star CB Daylen Austin away from a long-time LSU pledge, flipped Denton (Texas) five-star safety Peyton Bowen away from Notre Dame and netted the signature of Bellflower (Calif.) five-star Matayo Uiagalelei over USC and Ohio State. There’s work, and then there’s doing what Oregon just pulled off with everybody watching. As a result, what once was a bit of anxious waiting in Eugene turned into a day of celebration as the Ducks locked up a top-10 finish in the team rankings and secured the top class in the Pac-12 by a wide margin.

Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Jets: Jets (-1.5) to win by two points or more From FOX Sports Betting Analyst: Jason McIntyre If you’re reading this, you presumably are tracking line movement all week, and how’s this for you: The Jets weren’t expected to get Mike White back from his rib injury, and Zach Wilson was expected to start. When the team announced it Tuesday morning … the market didn’t budge. The Jets are still 1-point favorites at home against the surging Jaguars. Hm. Jacksonville lost LT Cam Robinson for the season, which might be bad news against the Jets, who have a relentless pass rush. The problem is defensive tackle Quinnen Williams was injured last week, the pass rush fell apart and they couldn’t sack Jared Goff once. It’s unclear if Williams will return this week. The Jags can win out and make the playoffs; the Jets need to win out and get some help. This is essentially an elimination game. I’d had an incredible run betting the Jets ATS this season before the difficult Detroit result, a game they led with two minutes left and just needed a 4th-and-1 stop. The number has come crashing down from 42 to 37.5. The public is all over Jacksonville, but the line isn’t moving. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
