Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to make you wait for this one. Currently driving back to Kalamazoo from Big Ten Media Day in Indianapolis where we basically made fools of ourselves for 48 hours and learned that everyone wants to dunk on Hunter Dickinson.
Last week was almost disastrous, which is very on brand timing-wise for me immediately after starting a paid newsletter. Let’s right the ship.
Onto the picks:
This Week’s College Football Parlay That Should Hit and If It Doesn’t It’s Really Fucking Stupid:
Ohio State ML, Alabama ML, UCLA ML, Ole Miss ML (-101)
OSU & Bama are locks. Arkansas got their soul snatched last week and I think it carries over into an Ole Miss comfortable win.
The First Ever G Teazy Teaser of the Week:
7-point teaser: Texas +10, Illinois +18, Auburn +21.5 (+130)
All three of these normal lines shock me and they’re all good teaser options. Texas +3 at home against a very overrated Oklahoma team, up to +10 is great. Illinois +11 at home against a stinky Wisconsin team??? Up to 18….I don’t think Wisconsin could beat UConn by three scores right now. Auburn +14.5 is a CRAZY number in a big game at home against Georgia. I know UGA is great. Bo Nix is a gamer. I can’t see this being a blowout. Up to 21.5 we looove it.
The only college football moneyline play I like this week:
Iowa ML (-130)
I think Iowa and Penn State are similar caliber teams but at Kinnick???? Shocked this isn’t Iowa -3 or more. Take the ML while we can.
NFL UNDERDOG PARLAY:
Texans, Bengals, Eagles, Washington Football Team MLs to win: (+4982)
I’ll be honest I don’t like the underdog plays this week nearly as much as the first four weeks. Don’t go big, but a small sprinkle here for fun is the play. Banking on New England coming in extremely overconfident and emotionally depleted and laying a giant egg. All the others are good toss ups I may play individually.
Best NFL bet of the week:
Parlay Titans, Vikings, Raiders moneylines (+157). The Jags aren’t winning under Urban Meyer against anyone let alone against a good Titans team. Vikings over Lions is an auto-add. Raiders quietly one of the best teams in football against Justin Fields Bears before Justin Fields gets good…insanely good value here. The first two should hit and leave us with some live cash out options in the afternoon slate if the Raiders don’t pull away early.
Good luck everyone!
