Placed my first bets for the college football year...

• FIU over 3 wins -115
• Nebraska under 7.5 +100
• Pen state -1 vs Auburn
• Nebraska NW under 50 -110
• I also have 2 parlays that I need Bama to win it all to pay out +500 (first two legs hit already) and then them to win with my chiefs at +3,050.

This was good timing as I just placed my first college bet of the year. Took NW +12. Wouldn't be surprised if we lost and if we win I don't see it being over 10 points. With all the new players and coaches on offense I see a 13-3 type of game. I guess I should take the unders as well.

I'm not touching the line.

I do think if I did I would fade it as that tends to work in early season games.

I just get the sense we are going to be vanilla, NW is going to try and muck it up and that is going to lead to a lower scoring game iyam.

Yeah I agree. I decided to take the unders as well. Basically both bets are hedges as I'd be ok with losing a little money to watch our beloved skrs kick some ass! Most likely scenario is that I have more beer money to drown my sorrows.

I would be shocked in Nebraska loses to Northwestern. I don't think Northwestern is going to be good, at all.

Cal Under 5.5 -115
Colorado under 3.5 -175

Analytics actually..

The link should take you directly to the spot.

I also like Vandy over 2.5 -140

If Wake Forest's back up QB is awful, Vandy may win 4 games.

I hope your right. Beaten dog syndrome won't allow me to have positive thoughts about football, basketball and baseball. Baseball gives me the most hope since they have shown the ability to win a year ago.

Also, very glad football season is almost here. I found myself betting on golf just to make it more interesting to watch.

Ed Feng is another data/statistics/analytics guy.

Here are some of his predictions:

College football predictions – The Power Rank predictions are based data from previous seasons and the current markets. Here is a sample of the predictions available to members.

• Nebraska will beat Northwestern by 9.6 points on the road. Both of these teams had 3-9 records last season. However, Nebraska went an astonishing 0-7 in one score games. Record in one score games tends to regress to the mean of .500.
• Ohio State will beat Notre Dame by 13.5 points at home. New Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman jumps straight into the fire with a trip to Columbus. At least his defense returns stars like DE Isaiah Foskey and CB Cam Hart, and this unit will need to play well against an explosive Buckeyes offense.
• Georgia will beat Oregon by 17.4 points at home. New Oregon coach Dan Lanning also jumps into the fire and faces his former defense at Georgia. At least the Bulldogs lost five defensive players to the 1st round of the NFL draft. However, Georgia QB Stetson Bennett gets his top three receivers back from last season.

First weekend of legal gambling. Thanks for the free plays MGM

 

[Dell Husker]

Alabama -20. Could get close to -30 against Texas this weekend

 

[Jim14510]

I can't find that but I do see Florida St at 7. Seems like that should be an obvious over.

This is kind of interesting. Nebraska still much better odds to win the west than Northwestern.
