We’re on fire and there is no slowing us down

I told you a few weeks ago, stick with the picks, we’re gonna get rolling. Well now look, we are rolling.We were at 60% two weeks ago and 66% last weekend. Our record on the year is now 37–28, good for 57% on the year, and it’s only a matter of time before we’re back over 60%.

As for this week, honestly not the best week for gambling but I still found 10 games that we can’t lose, so thanks Vegas. Believe in the picks because we are on fire now.

Without further ado, here is what we got goin this weekend:

MTSU at Marshall over 50.5 Friday 7:30 CBSSN

Look, both teams are averaging more than 25 points a game. Both defenses give up more than 25 points a game. What does that mean? Points! Nothing like a high scoring Conference USA game on a friday night to kick off a good weak of gambling. We hit this over easily.

Maryland +17.5 at Michigan Noon ABC

If we all just forget about that weird game against Temple, Maryland has actually played some really solid football this year. Now they play an overrated Michigan team in a sleepy noon game. This will be like Clemson Syracuse last week, the crowd will be asleep and the Wolverines will start out slow. Besides all that, Maryland is coming off a bye and Michigan is already worried about a game against Wisconsin next week. I’m not saying the Terps win, but it will be a close game.

Syracuse -3.5 at Pitt 12:20 ACCN

LOCK OF THE WEEK RIGHT HERE! I’m actually scared of this game because I have never seen a better line in my entire life. This line has me second guessing my whole life. What does Vegas know that we don’t?? Is there collusion?? Does the whole team have Ligma?? I don’t know, but I know I love this line. Syracuse is for real and they’re gonna put the smack down on the Panthers.

NIU -2.5 at Ball State 3:00 ESPN3

Both teams are 2–3, and both have played pretty inconsistent football, but Northern Illinois is just a better team. Northern Illinois has lost three hard fought games against power 5 teams, and two nice wins against group of 5 teams. I think they’ll end up winning by about 10 points and we win this bet.

Arizona State +2 at Colorado 4:00 PAC12N

You can decide what you want about Colorado because that is ultimately what this comes down to but I think that their undefeated record is deceiving. The teams that they have beat have a combined one win this year, ONE! Colorado isn’t bad but they aren’t that good either. Arizona State has been a pretty decent team this year, and they’ll come out and win this one outright.

UTSA (pick em) at Rice 7:00 ESPN3

Look, UTSA isn’t very good, I will be honest with you. However, it would be quite the overstatement to say Rice isn’t very good because they are truly terrible. The highlight of the Owl’s season is playing three good quarters against Houston. I don’t recommend watching this game, but I do recommend betting this game and checking the score after, because we got this in the bag.

Liberty -4 at NMSU 8:00 (not televised but check reddit for a stream)

I’m sure only true degenerate gamblers know this, but Liberty has actually been pretty competitive this season in their first year in the FBS. New Mexico State, on the other hand has been nothing short of terrible. Just like the last game we’re betting, we’re hoping a below average team beats a terrible team. New Mexico State has gotten whooped in every game they’ve played besides a seven point win over UTEP, and UTEP is a glorified high school team. So yeah, I’ll take Liberty by a pair of touchdowns.

Cal -2 at Arizona 10:00 FS1

Cal got blown out by Oregon last week, yeah, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that Arizona has been terrible. Kevin Sumlin has somehow made Khalil Tate, one of the most electric players in the country, look average and uninspired. Cal isn’t really that good, but they are still more than two points better than Arizona. We’ll cover.

Stanford -3.5 vs Utah 10:30 ESPN

Utah has been an incredibly mediocre all season long, so the fact that Vegas thinks they come within a score of Stanford seems silly to me. The Utes got beat by Washington State last week despite giving up a single yard on the ground. Stanford has a loss to Notre Dame to recover from and they’re going to take it out on the Utes. Utah’s biggest win on the year is one they snuck out against NIU. Their quarterback sucks and they are going to get physically dominated by Stanford.

Hawaii -3 vs Wyoming Midnight CBSSN

This would be the lock of the week but it starts at midnight sunday morning so technically it’s the lock of next week. Hawaii is 5–1 but still gets NO respect. Somebody give them some love because they have played incredibly well. Also, Wyoming has been garbage this year. The Craig Bohl tenure is not off to the start they wanted. It is hard to travel to Hawaii to play a better team. Warriors win by at least two possessions and we wake up Sunday morning with extra cash in our pockets.

Ok, so it might not be the most interesting slate of games this week, but these are the ones we’re gonna make money off of. So go ahead and place the bets, and watch the big games and make money, because we are going 10–0 this week.

Share this with your family and friends because everyone deserves to make some extra money, and as always, happy gambling.
