Tonight's plays:

Rutgers -29.5
UCF BCU Over 57.5
Akron +27.5
Missouri APB Under 62.5
Utah Idaho Over 59.5

 

[Dale]

Akron is weird because nobody knows if their planned starting QB got an eligibility waiver or not. Line jump points to not.

Sick sport

Fire away @MeanGreenBeans !!! Good luck and thanks for posting.

I know they are often called "sucker" bets. But does anyone mess around with 10 pt teasers? My friends and I use to absolutely pound those (successfully) in the first 3-4 weeks of the season while everyone is playing cupcakes.

My rule of thumb with teasers, buying points etc. Only do them in CFB when you have a “NFL line”: Sub 49ish total and sub 10ish spread. If you’re doing that there can be a time and place to fire on them. If you’re teasing or buying on high totals or big spreads the books are charging you the same for something that percentage wise is fundamentally less impact. I’ll do Alt Spreads with promotional boosts as a way to get to a similar place bet wise.

GT at home giving up 6 1/2 to Colorado seems like a good bet.

Is there much hype for Colorado this year? It could get ugly for the Buffs tonight

Not that I'm aware of. Thus my reason for taking GT and giving the points.

I bet Colorado +7.5 a short while back, don’t think it gets back over 7

Not in love with this Colorado team, have their season win total U. But Ga Tech might be bad too. RB duo is elite but QB, WR, TE, OL, OC are all downgrades to me. Don’t trust their D won’t be bad again either.

Ga Tech shouldn’t lay 7 to a P4 team again all season. Alright maybe BC

Was rooting for the FG make for the season total but can’t win em all

Good lord what did we just watch... That was the first time I've bet on Colorado with Deion at the helm and hopefully it'll be the last. I was on the fence until today but several people whose opinion I value were on Colorado +7. Then the betting splits were the final straw for me. Colorado managed to move from +7.5 to +6.5 with only around 35% of the bets and 30% of the handle. GT is not a good football team this year and is a shell of their former selves without Haynes King and Buster Faulkner. I'd take BC +7 vs. GT without batting an eye.

EDIT: Insane splits on the moneyline too. Colorado went from around +250 to +200 with 10% of the bets but around 60% of the handle (major sharp action on Colorado moneyline).

Who knew that Haynes King was the only thing holding Georgia Tech together?

Do not listen to this guy. lol

Hit 2/3 on my parlay last night with UCF covering -24.5 in the first half, Kennesaw St -22.5 covering, and then GT -6.5 screwing me on the cover. Hopefully you guys did better than me.

I have another 3 leg parlay in tonight for +845:
Purdue -33.5
Oklahoma -40.5
Kansas -41.5

 

[notredomer23]

Feel pretty good about Day 1 going 3-2 featuring the worst bet of all time in Rutgers.

Stanford’s my play tonight but hindsight I think the over 48.5 looks better. Not sure how Miami will travel, but points shouldn’t be an issue.

 

[gregm83]

got killed by rutgers last night.

 

[Dale]

4 - 0 start to the year on sides/totals but I’ve thrown most of it away on chasing ATTDs. Get those out of the way early before I stop getting tempted to bet them

Is betting on Purdue football when you gotta admit you have a problem?

 

[Dale]

Miami 1H -13.5 feels easy.

Stanford has almost entire OL out

Thinking about doing some prop bets Stanford gives up a lot of yards in the air Mensah should be over 300 yards and Barkate and Toney should feast.

 

[Dale]

Probably gonna have something on Austin Peay.

Think Vandy could see a Ga Tech style drop off. This line was 35 a few weeks ago and has come down to 28. Don’t love betting the worst end of a number though. SP+ has Austin Peay has better than some FBS teams. Crushed MTSU last year, only lost by 21 to Georgia. Lost in OT to a good Tarleton State team last year (beat KSU)

 

[IrishLax]

Only bet for me this week is Wisconsin Team Total Under 14.5

I love betting on the drive results of games for teams to get past 50 yard line or like first drive Miami to have an offensive score. These have a high hit rate.

Miami 1H -13.5 feels easy.

Just added full game Miami -24. Like that 1H bet too though.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

Round robin moneyline underdog parlay #2 with Boston College, Tulane, Tulsa, Wyoming, and Nevada.

35 was ridiculous when it was first posted

Looked bad in the first half. Up 24 now so maybe they will cover.

Scratch that.

 

[Dale]

Really like Cam Edwards O71.5 rushing yards for Sparty

Cashed in the 1H 💰, we’ll see on the alt 90+, 100+ too

Fitz is gonna give this dude 30 carries a game

Irritated that we can’t do college player props in Ohio. Stupid DeWine.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

Hit Toledo +10.5 by the hook and Miami -24 by a mile. Added these picks for tomorrow:

West Virginia -21
Boston college +7.5 (and ML)
Mississippi State -28
Wyoming +3 (and ML)
Nevada +1.5 (and ML)
Hawaii/UNLV u57

 

[402puck]

I had UTEP/OU over 51.5

OU won 51-0

UTEP kicker missed 3 field goals

Happy college football season!!!

 

[Pete]

Needed this one, $5 bet, put myself in a big hole to start the year on the UGA/Ole Miss bowl
Game.
