Thatās how I feel today. Freaking out. Itās so gorgeous.
COLLEGE HOOPS IS BACK AND I HAVE BETS.
Iāll be doing #DailyPicks on twitter every day, three games per day. See that here Ā»Ā»
As you can see, somehow we secured a sponsor for that this year (miracles happen).
This isnāt public knowledge but because you all are like family to me for subscribing to this newsletter, Iāll break some news: Carter and I get paid $100 per sign up through THIS LINK. There are thousands of dollars in free bets, match deposits and odds boosts available to new users through that link. Itās a win-win, you get paid, we get paid, and my family gets to eat dinner for another week. DO IT PLEASE!
Ok now to some more picks for tonight:
#DailyPicks summary:
Belmont -3.5 at Ohio
Oral Roberts +12.5 at Colorado State
UCLA -20.5 vs. Cal State Bakersfield
Watch the video for my full thoughts but these are my favorite three plays of the day.
OTHERS:
Duke ML vs. Kentucky
My take: Duke is the more talented team with the best player (Paolo Banchero) in this game. Kentucky was down 7 points at the half in their exhibition to MILES COLLEGE. Duke is not Miles College. Too much to figure out for Kentucky. And as far as weird mojo goesā¦.COACH K IS RETIRING AT THE END OF THIS SEASON. Heās not losing the opener. No way. (Disclaimer - the ONLY way Duke loses this game is if TyTy Washington has a Tyrese Maxey-esque superstar game at Madison Square Garden. The Garden is good for that and it scares me. But stillā¦.itās Duke. Ride them!)
Michigan State +4.5 (buy the point) vs. Kansas
My take: I like this MSU team. Kansas missing Jalen Wilson (donāt drink and drive) and Bill Self hates Remy Martin already. Izzo is great with teams who arenāt supposed to be great. Max Christie breakout game loading, Iāll also be sprinkling Michigan State Moneyline.
A PARLAY THAT IS TOO GOOD I CANāT BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY EXISTS (-119):
Ohio State ML vs. Akron
Indiana ML vs. Eastern Michigan
Maryland ML vs. Quinnipiac
Arkansas ML vs. Mercer
Florida ML vs. Elon
Memphis ML vs. Tennessee Tech
Houston ML vs. Hofstra
Alabama ML vs. Louisiana Tech
Arizona ML vs. Northern Arizona
UCLA ML vs. CSU Bakersfield
Stanford ML vs. Tarleton State
My take: Tell me where that loses - you canāt because it isnāt.
THE FIRST EVER LONGSHOT CBB PARLAY: (+10839):
Belmont ML at Ohio
Michigan State ML at Kansas
Alabama ML vs. Louisiana Tech
Duke ML vs. Kentucky
UCLA - 20 vs. CSU Bakersfield
Oral Roberts ML at Colorado State
My take: This will hinge on Oral Robertsā¦but Max Abmas can take us to the promised land.
Now over to my good friend Carter Elliott.

College basketball is here baby and there is nothing better than college hoops. As much as I love watching college hoops, I love betting on college hoops even more. Many might say do not bet on early college basketball games because itās so early in the season and we do not know what teams are going to bring. But, and yes I know I sound like a broken record, IāM DIFFERENT. Here are some games that I will be betting on today so whether you are riding with my picks or fading them best of luck to you and enjoy the hoops!
We are going to start with the Champions Classic tonight. Because this is the biggest event in college hoops tonight I had to give a pick from the 2 games. Though I am a Michigan State fan (I will be on MSU +4.5) but this isn't the best value for the night I believe. I love Duke ML vs Kentucky. This is a game where I am riding with Duke because I think right now they are the better team. Duke will have the best player in the game in Paolo Banchero and I think this Kentucky team is going to take some time to figure things out/establish an identity with a lot of new pieces coming into the fold who were in different roles with their previous teams. TyTy Washington having a big game scares me but Iām rolling with Duke ML.
And to end this these are my other 3 plays tonight. Oakland +17.5 vs West Virginia. Oakland is returning their best player in Jalen Moore (18 ppg and 4 rpg) and also are returning mostly all of their production from a team a year ago that finished extremely strong. They also brought in a transfer in Jamal Cain who I think can make a case for being an NBA player with a big year (transfer from Marquette). This West Virginia team loses their 2 best players to the draft in McBride and Culver, and though they have players like Mcneil and Taz Sherman returning I think they are going to take some time to figure it out. Oakland played a lot of big games last year on the road and they are an older team who I donāt think will be rattled by the moment. It kills me to trust in Kampe but also do we trust Huggins? Ride Oakland +17.5.
I saw this Alabama line and it caught my eye and as much as I want to take Bama (I still might) but after research I came away saying Alabama vs LA Tech Under153 is the play. Now I know Alabama has an explosive offense that can fill it up with the best of them but the principle is the principle and 153 is a very high number for the first game of the season. This is a LA Tech team that will challenge to win their conference and they have one of my favorite players in the country in Kenneth Lofton Jr. This is a well coached team that isnāt really known for playing fast (well coached+older team+dominant post player=will not be sped up). LA Tech is a good defensive team, especially guarding the 3 point line, and in their own right Bama is a good defensive team too. With all this said I think the under is the play in this game.
Last but not least Oral Roberts +12.5 vs Colorado State. No explanation, MAX ABMAS IS A KILLER. Thatās it. Bet it. Whether you fade me or ride with me just know we are in this together. Itās a long season, let's build that bankroll.
