Season bets:
Iowa State season wins OVER 6.5 - 2 Unit bet
Wisconsin wins big 10 championship +270 - 1 unit bet
Future Games: ISU +3.5 @ Iowa - Sept 8th - 2 unit bet, but will probably add more and probably on ML
ISU wins this game after 3 year drought, but take the points in case. Will expand more come game time.
South Carolina +12.5 vs Georgia - Sept 8th - 1 unit bet - Will expand next week.
First weekend games:
Iowa State -13.5 vs SDSU - 1 Unit Bet
In the past, ISU fans would worry about FCS opponents, but no more. I have written plenty about them already. No reason to think ISU won't be ready and dominate this game in a way that top teams do against FCS opponents.
Northern Ill +13 @ Iowa - 1 unit bet
Northern Ill won last game in 2013. already written up why Iowa may struggle a bit this year. Not only issues with depth and experience, but starting RT is out and sr DT is also out.
N. Ill had QB injury problems last year. This year they will be steady at QB, with solid run game and D. They are one favorite to win the MAC, all 5 starters back on o-line and big time player maker on D in Sutton Smith on the d-line.Yes, Iowa is big 10, but N. Ill looks poised to make this game close.
The line is down to N. Ill +10. I wouldn't take N. Ill any lower than the key number of 10.
Texas Tech -2 vs Ole Miss - 1 unit bet
Tech should have a good D and have gotten better at establishing the run game. They will need it with a new QB and replacing all WR but one. Ole Miss is expected to be near bottom of SEC with a bad run defense. Also lost starting QB and RB. Think this is a game in which we see the big 12 def come to play and start to shift idea that big 12 is just run and gun with no defense..
Wyoming ML - 5 unit bet
The biggest handicap is Craig Bohl. He created at monster at the FCS level and I think Wyoming has arrived in the same mold. Yes, NMSU lost a lot and Wyo has a new QB, but it was a clear domination. I think Wyoming has a chance to run the table bc of the coaching. He clearly has a system and follows it.
We saw Wyoming handle a team who struggled with a new QB. We know WSU lost Falk and Hilinski (RIP) last year. They were also one dimensional last year, only averaging 68 yards on the ground. A new Qb's best friend is a run game, something Wyoming appears to have. Also, WSU lost their D coord that turned this D around and their AA LB.
Wash St also has a history of losing to smaller schools:
Losing to E Wash and Boise 2 years ago and making a huge comeback in the 4th quarter, not to lose twice in a row to boise. This seems to have all the makings of a W for Wyoming.
Wyo: 11-3-1 ATS at home since 2015, 9-2 ATS since Sept 2017, 10-3 ATS as a dog since OCt 2016 (opened as a dog.)
Wash St/Wyoming UNDER 47 - 1 unit
Similar to game one for Wyoming: Run the ball, control the clock against a new def coordinator. Wash St being one dimensional, with no run game and a new QB seems like a poor recipe to assume they will put up points on the road against Wyoming D.
Added S. Carolina under 57 - 1 unit.
Rough start to football. Too many turnovers for Purdue, too many penalties for SDSU. Won't bring attention to myself until the winning starts to happen.
Hope you all find this helpful!
