My two ML locks(Florida St and Notre Dame) both won. I ended the the week +$224 but it should've been much bigger
Georgia Tech blows 36-19 2nd half lead to miami
Wash St blows 31-14 4th quarter lead against Colorado
Air Force blows 11 pt halftime lead to UNLV
The gambling Gods have been rough on me the first four week of the season. Year mark stands at -$1,198
But onward we go. The gambling Gods have punished me enough, now it's time to get some of that back.
Now again, my philosophy with betting college football is pretty simple. Players and coaches care about winning ball games, not covering point spreads. I like my money on the sides of these motivations.
I will be playing TWO ML locks with EVERY bet I make. Last week it was Florida St and Notre Dame. Here's this week TWO ML locks.
Utah State ML(-1100) - Utah St and Chuckie Keeton have been playing very good ball at the start of the season. Upset Utah, were a 25 yd field goal away from beating Wisconsin. They're 3-0 ats(pushed last week @ Col St), and now they come home after two week road trip and face the worst road team in college football, lol. UNLV has played all four of their games at home, coming off their first win(let down), and now face Utah St with a freshman QB in his first road game. Oh, and UNLV has lost 16 straight road games in a row. Needles to say, they don't travel well. This game will get ugly, Utah St probably covers by td, and most definitely wins.
Northern Illinois ML(-410) - Northern Illinois brings a stout MAC defense against Central Michigan coming off their biggest win of the season(upset @ Iowa). I love what I've seen out of the Huskies, their biggest question mark coming into the season had been replacing Chandler Harnish and Jordan Lynch has answered the call by throwing for over 800 yards and rushing for over 400. Ultimate dual threat QB who will run all over C Mich. Also, slight revenge spot, as C Mich upset N Ill last year handing them one of their 3 losses. Letdown for C Mich, revenge spot for N Illinois, equals moneyline gold
So once again, I'll be playing both of the above ML's with EVERY one of these plays. Here it goes...
1) Northwestern ML(-380) - NW has looked good this season, going 4-0 ats, beating three quality teams in the process while Indiana has beaten two scrub teams and lost at home against Ball St. Cain Colter and Trevor Seiman have played well at QB. There secondary is suspect so I do predict a shootout, but Northwestern is too strong at home and Indiana is the bottom barrel of a bad Big Ten conference.
Bet $280/$200
2) South Carolina ML (-1450) - Big ML, but South Carolina is 2nd best team in SEC and Kentucky is the worst. Last time the Cocks came to Kentucky they were upset, the old ball coach will make sure they remember. Shaw is a badass, their defense is Alabama-esque. Joker Phillips is the worst coach and Kentucky is only the second best team in their own state. This will get ugly.
Bet $443/$200
3) UCLA ML (-1165) - UCLA coming off their first loss of season vs a wretched Colorado team coming off their first win. Let down for Colorado, UCLA has them dominated on both sides of the ball. Mora will have his boys ready and will need this Pac 12 win.
Bet $422/$200
