022 College Regular season ATS. 109-71. (60.8%)
2022 Bowls ATS 28-15. (65.1%)
Bowl ML 4-6. (40%).
Season Totals ATS. 137-86. (61.5 %)




2023 Season 13-11 +860.00


Nebraska +3.5 over Colorado. 4 units (Posted Wednesday.)
Get it now with that number

What is impressive is that Neon Deion pulled 58 transfers and turned them into a winner for game one.
Dont take that lightly.
He just infused a massive dose of confidence to all of those players and he has had a dramatic influence on them now. Something that they likely never experience in their entire life playing for anyone else.

The only caution now is its very unlikely they will play at that level again in regards to passing yards. They had 510 yds passing. They also had poor rushing numbers with only 55 yds.

Nebraska is a far tougher team to beat with 16 returning starters.
Last week they were a 7.5 dog to Minnesota and lost in a 13-10 game.

The question now is What team is better. Minnesota or Colorado?

Last year Minnesota was a huge plus points team. They acored 28 and allowed only 14. Most of that team returned with 15 starters and the QB.
Colorado doesnt possess the kind of defense that Minnesota has.

The CornHuskers are befinatelty the play with that number IMO.

N.C. State +8 over Notre Dame. 4 units
ND hasn't played a competitive team in 2 games. Navy was a disaster with a new head coaching debut. Knowing they returned 18 starters for Navy was a shocker to get beat like that. They looked completely un-prepared for the opener.

Looking back at common opponents, they both played Clemson.
ND was home getting 4 points.
NC State was AT Clemson getting 7 points.
Clemson lost at ND badly.
NC State was respectable in a 30-20 loss in Clemson.

Considering that NC State was solid on defense LY in the last 4 games including the bowl game, - they held their last 4 opponents to under 351 yds of total offense.
They only return 5 starters on defense which hurts. But they also lost their starting QB who transferred. NC only averaged 24pts/gm with him LY.

They did get a potentially solid replacement by transfer of Armstrong from Virginia. He averaged 32 pts per game when he was a starter, with a Virginia team that had no defense.

ND is not a solid road team. They allowed over 32 points per game avg the last 4 road tilts.
Knowing that ND looks impressive in the first 2 games by allowing only 3 points to each opponent, I dont believe they are ever as good as those numbers.
In addition, to validate the poor competition level ND faced this year, the 2 games were lined at 21 and 49 points.
It could be shootout with both teams scoring.

Miami Fla. + 3.5 over Texas A&M. 5 units
The Canes are going to be one of the best teams in the ACC and may make the top 10 in the country..
Again we have an SEC team vs the ACC. I had FSU over Clemson on Sunday and this game is similar.
Mia lost last year in Texas vs A&M. Revenge is sweet!
Im riding the Florida teams until they show me otherwise.

Wisconsin -6 over Washington State. 4 units
Wisky has a lot better talent than WSU.
The defense is superior. They also are returning 18 starters and won a Bowl game against a solid opponent.
WSU is a good 7-6 team from last year - but were shut down by a solid Fresno State team in the bowl.
Last weeks win over Colorado state was not as great as the score. While they passed for 466 yds they struggled to run the ball for only 95yds.
Last year theses two played early in the season. Wisky was 3-4 in the first 7 games and lost to WASH St. The last half of the season they went 4-2.
Youre not going to beat a balanced BIG 10 team with Wash now being a one-dimension offense and and average defense.
Wisconsin was one of the best teams in all of College last year only allowing 200 yds per game passing on defense.
WSU is returning only 5 defensive players form last year. Thats were Wisky win this - on defense.
.Its shut down time in The West.

Alabama -7.5 over Texas. 5 units
Revenge game for Bama.

Texas will need a defense that can hold down Bama to under 30 points at home.
I dont believe they can.
This same Texas team was beat by Washington in the bowl game LY 27-20.

Tulsa +35 over Washington. 2 units
Looking past this game with Washington having Michigan State on deck.

Iowa/Iowa State. Over 36.5. 5 units.

Texas Tech +6 over Oregon. 5 units

The Ducks still lack defense. The 81-7 game last week was against a high school team.
TT has all 11 offensive starters back including the QB.
Look for TT to reach 35 points and cover.



May add later.

Did you actually WATCH Texas Tech against Wyoming? If that team returned all 11 players on offense.....they need to get a new offense. Tech is DREADFUL.

Always like to see who you're on, G-Man. It should be noted that RB's Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson, and LB DeMarvion Overshown all sat out that Alamo Bowl game. The Texas/Alabama game is going to be a close one. QB Milroe struggles to throw the ball with accuracy, which is a huge deal. I think this goes down to the wire and is a one-score game either way. I can see Texas winning this game outright. Good luck this weekend.

Rumor has it that TT players all bet on Wyoming and wanted to be sure they won the bet,.
Just kidding.
No I didnt see that game. But I cant discount them for a bad game. . I believe they will play at the level they should. We'll see.
Thats for the feedback Pete.
BOL this week.

I agreee with you about players being out, but it's still the college level - and the player skill separation isnt always as critical as we believe sometimes.

I also know Saban is one coach who finds a way to win after close games and his stall full of Stallions that usually come back stronger after those games.
In addition - I dont believe that Texas is as good now, as they were a year ago. Its a great program but they have half of their defense back from a year ago.
Traveling to Bama without a top ten defense for Texas is a plus for the Tide.
Last year Bama had one of their 2 lowest total yardage games on offense in that game. Their two lowest totals were both road games.

This is a game that will be completely different in overall performance and I expect that Texas will never reach the play level they had last year at home in Texas again, now playing in Bama.
The line on LY game was Bama -21. Now its only 7.5 because the public watched a great game LY that Bama should have lost, but ended up winning 20-19..

But in real capping factors - with a Bama team that historically reloads with superior talent every time - even after only returning 10 total players and a new QB - that program with never have a 14 point spread correction, especially now playing at home.

Appreciate the feedback and your view on the game.
Hope you have a great week..

Tulane +7.5 over Mississippi/ 4 units
Wrong team favored here. Green Wave has one outstanding defense and they dismantled a good So.Alabama team last week which was a big plus scoring team that returned 18 starters and the QB.
This one could upset but getting the points is best.

Appy State +19.5 over North Carolina 4 units

N,C. Off a huge win vs South Carolina, we have an Appy team that is what I believe is a better team than what this line is. Originally opened at 15 now 19.5 is an over reaction on last weeks NC win over SC.
