8/28 (7:00) East Carolina +14 @ NC State (Frisbee Special)
Bet Rivers, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
I Like QB Katin Houser and stud WR Anthony Smith for ECU to keep this game close, even after last year's bowl game and NC State out for revenge.
WIN East Carolina 17 @ NC State 24 +1.9 Units
Frisbee comes in with an easy winner, the guy knows ball. QB Katin Houser kept ECU in it all game.
8/28 (7:00) Wyoming -6.5 @ Akron
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
Give me the fighting Josh Allen's on the road by a touchdown.
WIN Wyoming 10 @ Akron 0 +1.9 Units
A dog shit, brutal game to watch. The only touchdown in the game wasn't scored until late in the fourth quarter. A win is a win
8/28 (7:05) Jacksonville State @ Central Florida -19.5
Fanatics, w/ 20% Profit Boost 1 Unit to win 2 Units
Scott Frost is back at UCF and it's his home debut against a Jax St team that lost ALOT in the offseason.
LOSS Jacksonville State 10 @ Central Florida 17, LOSS
Scott Frost's first game was a win, a late touchdown with 1minute left but a win is a win. It could be a long season in Orlando as he rebuilds this progrum.
8/28 (9:00) Nebraska -6.5 v. Cincinnati
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
QB Dylan Raiola for Nebraska better dominate this Cincinnati team if he wants anybody to listen to the Mahomes comparisons.
LOSS Nebraska 20 v. Cincinnati 17, LOSS
Dylan Raiola is pissing me the fuck off. He annoys me more than Mahomes at this point. Raiola is doing his best to cosplay as Mahomes, he is even blowing touchdown spreads in Arrowhead stadium.
8/28 (9:00) Miami OH @ Wisconsin Total OVER 40.5
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
40 points seems too low to me. I feel both teams can get us to 6 touchdowns combined.
LOSS Miami OH 0 @ Wisconsin 17, LOSS
Luke very Fickel is the perfect coach for Wisconsin if they want their ceiling to be 9 wins and just missing the playoffs every 5 years.
FRIDAY 8/29
8/29 (7:00) App State @ Charlotte +5.5
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.7 Units
Tailing some sharps here.
LOSS App State 34 @ Charlotte 11
The sharps were not right. QB AJ Swann for App St looked great. The mountaineers rolled.
8/29 (8:00) GA Tech -3.5 @ Colorado
Fanatics, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
Colorado might be in for a rude awakening not having its Heisman Trophy winner, Stud QB, and a bunch of offensive weapons. Georgia Tech brings back a playmaking QB in Haynes King who will give Colorado all it can handle.
WIN GA Tech 27 @ Colorado 20
Georgia Tech came away with the cover here, but it was a late one. Haynes King scampered for a long touchdown run with 1 minute left.
8/29 (8:00) Auburn @ Baylor +2.5
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
I don't trust Hugh freeze or the job he is doing in Auburn. I also like Sawyer Robertson from Baylor more than Jackson Arnold from Auburn at the QB position.
LOSS Auburn 38 @ Baylor 24
Jackson Arnold looked very good against Baylor. He ran all over them. Credit to the Tigers, they looked good in all 3 phases of the game.
8/29 (9:30) UNLV @ Sam Houston State +10.5, Total 58.5 OVER
Cesars, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units (spread)
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.6 Units (total)
I watched both these teams play last week, I expect no defense to be played and I think Sam Houston may be better than they are getting credit for, especially on offense.
LOSS UNLV 38 @ Sam Houston St 21, WIN Total 59
We barely got the cover here. 21 points in the 4th quarter is what got the job done. UNLV looked way better than they did in week 0.
8/29 (10:30) Central Michigan @ San Jose State -11.5
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
This is a "I believe in Coach Ken to beat a MAC team traveling across the country by 2 scores" play.
LOSS CMU 16 @ San Jose St 14
San Jose St was never going to cover this game. They had a chance to win it at the end, but it was tipped away by a hand. Hats off to CMU on a well-played game.
SATURDAY 8/30
8/30 (12:00) Ball State @ Purdue -16.5
Fanatics, 1 Unit to win 1.8 Units
Ball State is going to struggle defensively to get a stop here. New head coach Barry Odom should have Purdue clicking.
WIN Ball State 0 @ Purdue 31
No sweat here. HC Barry Odom kept the gas down all game.
8/30 (12:00) Florida Atlantic @ Maryland Total 59.5 OVER
Fanatics, 1 Unit to win 1.8 Units
Points, points, points, go get us some points.
LOSS FAU 7 @ Maryland 39 Total 46
This one stings. 40 points scored in the first half and then Maryland settles for two field goals in the 3rd quarter. I was counting my chickens before they hatched in this game.
8/30 (12:00) Texas ML @ Ohio State
Bet Rivers, 1.25 Units to win 2.7 Units
Archie Manning or Julian Sayin???? No brainer.
LOSS Texas 7 @ Ohio State 14
If I am ever to be given the death penalty, call the Texas Longhorns Football team for me because they can't execute! Arch has a lot of work to do if he wants to be allowed to sit at the big boy table this holiday season in the Manning household. Texas could have won that game. Ohio State didn't play lights out, but they did enough to win which is all that matters.
8/30 (3:30) Alabama -12.5 @ Florida State
Fanatics, w/ 25% Profit boost 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
Roll Tide Mama Craig!! HC Deboer will have his offense humming to start the season.
LOSS Alabama 17 @ FSU 31
Texas should thank Alabama for what they did Saturday. Alabama took a lot of heat off of everyone else who lost in the top 10 with their absolute trash performance. Many people are saying this would never happen under Saban and I agree. HC Deboer has got to get this figured out fast. If the Tide lose to Auburn and or miss the playoffs, he is out.
8/30 (3:30) Temple ML @ UMASS
Cesars, 1 Unit to win 1.8 Units
Come play in the mud with me. Both teams are ass, but UMASS might be MEGA ASS.
WIN Temple 42 @ UMASS 10
Easy call here. UMASS might be the worst team in FBS.
8/30 (4:00) Montana State @ Oregon -27.5
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
This might be my favorite play of the week. Oregon should be able to run it up on this lesser opponent.
WIN Montana St 13 @ Oregon 59
Another no sweat. 27.5 points was an insanely small spread for this game.
8/30 (7:00) North Alabama @ Western Kentucky Total 60.5 UNDER
Fanatics, w/ 20% Profit Boost 1 Unit to win 2.1 Units
LOSS N. Bama 6 @ WKU 55 Total 61
A tough lose here. I thought it would be a beat down but I figured it would be a low-scoring affair. QB Maverick McIvor looks good for WKU. A long drive in the 2nd half that resulted in a field goal sank us.
8/30 (7:30) UTEP @ Utah State Total 61 UNDER
Bet Rivers, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
Neither of these teams have hit the over in their last 3 season openers. I expect that to continue.
WIN UTEP 16 @ Utah St 28 Total 44
Easy money here. The game played right out to script for the under.
8/30 (7:30) LSU @ Clemson -3
Fanatics, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
Clemson's defensive line is going to give LSU's offensive line all it can handle and some. Still like LSU to make playoffs, but the price will be better after this loss.
LOSS LSU 17 @ Clemson 10
Clemson, like Texas owes a thank you to Alabama for their lose. Clemson looked very pedestrian against LSU. Garrett Nussmeier looked like the better QB over Cade Klubnik, which wasn't a hug surprise. The big surprise was LSU's defense looked better than Clemson's, that was a huge shock to me.
8/30 (8:00) Abilene Christian @ Tulsa -5.5 Total 63.5 UNDER (Sauce Special)
Fan Duel, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units (Spread)
Fanatics, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units (Total)
Tulsa still has QB Kirk Francis, that guy can win by a touchdown against an FCS team, but keep it under 60.
WIN Abilene Christian 7 @ Tulsa 35, WIN Total 42
No sweat here, easy covers for both bets.
8/30 (10:30) California @ Oregon State -1.5
Cesars, 1 Unit to win 1.9 Units
Cal lost so many pieces this offseason. I can't believe they are going to go on the road and steal the home opener from an old PAC-12 foe, Oregon State.
LOSS California 34 @ Oregon State 15
Cal has a QB. His name is Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (Saga) and he is a freshman. He torched Oregon State all night through the air. This kid will be fun to watch this season.
SUNDAY 8/31
8/31 (3:30) South Carolina -7 v. Virginia Tech
Fanatics, 1 Unit to win 1.8 Units
South Carolina is going to unleash QB LaNorris Sellers all over that Hokie ass. I'll take the Gamecocks over the Turkeys.
WIN South Carolina 24 @ Virgina Tech 11
This game was between 2 mediocre teams. I think South Carolina has the potential to become a better team as the season wears on. They should be fine as long as QB LaNorris Sellers continues to show growth to his game.
MONDAY 9/1
9/1 (8:00) TCU @ UNC 1st Half Total 27.5 UNDER
Fan Duel, w/ Profit Boost .5 Units to win 1.1 Units
I think we have a low scoring game with Old Billy back at the helm.
