Week 1 Betting guide (and season tips)

  Week zero is in the books and thank god I kept my money on the side lines. Week 1 is up for most of the lines. A couple of tips as you slowly lose all your cash throughout the season. Its ok to be honest its like a reverse mutual fund that loses 10% a week. Anyway we are here to have fun with some spendable cash so my number one tip is to break your money into a minimum of 10 units. Never bet more than one unit on a game. If your 3 picks are that much better than the others then bet only those 3 units that week. Dont let one bounce of an oblong ball determine or end your season.

Overs (yes this is dicey with the rule changes but these have a good amount of cushion)

***South Alabama/Tulane 51.5*** PICK OF THE WEEK (I must be missing something here as both teams are projected to score well over 30ppg?)

BC - Northern Illinois 50.5 (looks like NIU will be in several 60 point games this year this should be one of them)

Tenn-Virginia 56 (Is Virginia good for a field goal?)

La Tech/SMU 66 (Its a tricky total but this may be the most either team scores this year)

Buffalo/Wisc 54.5 (Wisconsin goes for 55)

 

Unders (Will the clock rules give us a little breathing room?)

Utah St/Iowa 45 (Imagine last years Iowa offense but on the other side. Iowa is going to need about 42 points to put this over)

Vtech/ODU 47.5 (New clock rules with one team that doesnt want to score and another that cant score -yes please)

Moneyline (take that extra cash and let the home crowd lead you to glory)

North Texas (the over is tempting here at 54.5 I just worry about Cal doing its part)

Hawaii (Stanford is BAAAAAD - question is how BAD?)

Spread

Texas A and M -38.5 vs New Mexico (Should be covered by half time and you know they will want to run it up)

Army -10 at Louisiana Monroe (ULM may be one of the worst teams in FBS this year will average giving up around 7 tds a game)

Louisville -7.5 at Gtech (Again Gtech will be a brutal team giving up nearly 30ppg this season. Brohm also knows how to score against solid defenses and this aint it)

BYU -19.5 vs Sam Houston St (This may be covered in the first quarter and Im being serious. Northwestern might beat this team by 35)
