This may just be the homer in me, but I don't think MSU or OSU cover the spread
September 1st, 2023 at 6:29 PM ^
Meh…don’t underestimate how bad Indiana is this year. But I hear you re: MSU. I’d throw some money on that one. That team is totally Tucked
September 1st, 2023 at 6:43 PM ^
Don't get me wrong. I think OSU easily wins this but 30 points is a lot for a shakey QB and a new OL.
September 1st, 2023 at 6:27 PM ^
SoCar and the points against UNC is my
September 1st, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
I like the Beavers because they're pure of heart, the Gamecocks because they have something to prove and Sparty because they always cheat.
September 1st, 2023 at 6:44 PM ^
I took Stanford ML with the $10 insurance DK is offering. I’m 3-0 on the year so probably time to retire for the season!
September 1st, 2023 at 6:59 PM ^
Louisville, er, Georgia Tech, is Smooth Jimmy's Lock of the Week!
September 1st, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
Jimmy's not smooth. He's a crook!
Trust Smooth GLORY lock of the week... Rutgers -6 vs Northwestern. Book it!
September 1st, 2023 at 9:10 PM ^
Whoops.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
My under 23.5 1st half total live action looking good so far.
September 1st, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
You have to include TCU vs Colorado
who’s taking Prime and 20.5 points? I’ll take TCU.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
Ahh you’re right. That should be a fun game. If I had to bet it, probably would take the over 63.5. Colorado’s lines are probably going to get pushed around but they have some skill makers.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
Can I hit under 40.5 total?
September 1st, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
Had CMU +14.5 and over 45. This sucks

FanDuel offering parlay odds boosts
September 1st, 2023 at 10:43 PM ^
Seeming that shanked GT FG will cost me $240 on a $5 bet, damn!
September 1st, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
I bet the underdog money lines heavily in week one. Nobody knows how good anyone is this really in the year, especially the middle of the pack teams.
Being is fun. I'm losing my ass today but fuck it, it's still fun.
September 2nd, 2023 at 12:16 AM ^
Stanford vs Hawaii: Stanford -2.5 (Troy Taylor is a great coach)
Michigan vs ECU: Michigan -36 (obvious reasons)
Iowa vs Colorado State: Colorado State +23.5 (Iowa can't score)
Texas vs Rice: Rice +35.5 (solely on the hope that JT Daniels figures it out)
USC vs Nevada: Nevada +38 (fuck usc)
UCLA vs Coastal Carolina: UCLA -15.5, over (think Chip Kelly is building something, but not a defense high scoring game)
Florida St vs LSU: FSU ML (Don't like LSU)
September 2nd, 2023 at 12:59 AM ^
My bets so far:
GT +8 (yay, I won this one)
CMU +14 (boo, I lost this one)
LSU -2.5
Nevada +38 (USC's defense decidedly sucks)
Nevada-USC over 66
Michigan -36.5
