With Week 1 finally here, it is time to list a few of the best College Football bets. There’s only one ranked matchup this weekend in college football. As a result, there are a lot of sizible spreads. However, the large spreads present a lot of opportunities for bettors to get their feet wet and start the season on a winning note. Here are my three best bets for the true opening weekend of college football 2023. Utah State Aggies (+25.5) at No. 25 Iowa Hawkeyes (-115 FanDuel) Is anyone certain the Iowa Hawkeyes can score 26 points? Last year,…

Week 9 of the NFL season got started with a somewhat entertaining Thursday Night Football game. The Houston Texans hung around with the Philadelphia Eagles for a half before the NFL’s lone undefeated team puled away for aa 29-17 win. 50% of Week 9 TNF Prime Picks hit. Let’s aim to do better.

They are currently listed as 14-point favorites over Houston on DraftKings. For the daring bettors, the Texans are +600 underdogs on the moneyline while the Eagles are -850.  The game total sits at 45 points. The undefeated Eagles…

The Week 7 Prime Picks and Props installment did not do well. The Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints matchup turned into a shootout, which went against the predicted game script. Hopefully, the recent stretch of bad luck changes this Thursday as the 4-3 Baltimore Ravens face the 3-4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The past few weeks off Thursday Night Football matchups have featured close spreads. Week 8 is no different. On DraftKings, the Ravens are currently 1.5-point road favorites with the game total sitting at 45 points. Baltimore is -130 on the moneyline while Tampa Bay is +110. As their records…

Week 6 of Thursday Night Football Prime Picks and Props did not go well. Nonetheless, the grind continues into this week. Once again, TNF features another battle between two struggling teams. The 2-4 New Orleans Saints face the 2-4 Arizona Cardinals. This is another game that is virtually a pick’em in the eyes of the oddsmakers.

Despite Oregon and UCLA being on bye weeks, Week 7 in the Pac-12 produced a bunch of wacky results and great performances. The conference got flipped on its head as shootout broke out in Salt Lake City. Here are the five main takeaways from a crazy weekend in the conference. Utah’s Unbelievable Resolve Last week, the Utes saw their slim College Football Playoff hopes disappear with a 42-32 loss to the then-No. 18 UCLA Bruins. With No. 6 USC rolling into Salt Lake City, the potential for another letdown was there. However, the reigning Pac-12 Champions showed their resolve. The…

After the Washington Commanders’ 12-7 victory over the Chicago Bears, there are 13 more Week 6 games to bet on. Luckily, that provides you plenty of opportunities to capitalize on some good lines and props. Last week’s piece didn’t do so well. Hopefully, that gets turned around with this week’s batch of wagers.

The 49ers won 37-15, and dominated from start to finish. So, it makes sense to…
