Doing things a bit different as I already made a few wagers that I felt had some value. So many games to cap, so little time.
Thurs.
FIU/Tulane Under 57'..... 6 u*I was looking at FIU +2 but really like the Total here more. Butch Davis is doing wonders with the team and the Defense is loaded. Golden Panthers have 8 returning starters on D and the secondary is expected to have a big year. They need to get better at putting pressure on the QB but it's been a point of emphasis in the off-season. Tulane HC Willie Fritz also has some returning talent and they hired a new Off coordinator to try and inject some life into an anemic off....... Still, I expect their identity will continue to keep things on the ground with RB Darius Braswell (1,134 yards) and another returner. Bottom line is I don't expect much of a pass attack from either team and think this one will be tight without cracking 50.
So Dakota St +13.......6 u *Jackrabbits made it to the Semis last season before getting bounced and despite losing their record setting QB Taryn Christian to graduation, the film I saw on redshirt Frosh J'Bore Gibbs was very impressive and he will run. The key here is that 5 WRs that were prominent in last years success are back and most of the O-L too...... The majority of the Defense returns also....... Jackrabbits won't be intimidated by the Big 10 Heavy Hitter. HC PJ Fleck has really done a great job with the Golden Gophers and was able to lure 4 Star DT from Georgia.... He manages to do a lot considering Minnesota doesn't have much of a local recruiting base and the state is surrounded by Prairie and grasslands, which isn't appetizing to many Top Tiered Athletes.... I'm a huge Minnesota Viking fan so hate bucking the State but this game could come down to the wire and wouldn't shock me to see the first major upset.
Penn St -40.......5 u *I may make this a 10 u play as I really expect Vandals to get rolled here..... In 2018, Vandals lost to Florida 63-10, Fresno 13-79, Idaho St 62-28 and went 4-8 despite shifting to the FCS. Obviously, Nittany Lions have major question marks at QB with the departure of Tracy McSorley, but this is still a top tier Big 10 team playing against an FCS opponent. The Defense will be strong, and I don't know if Vandals can score in this one....James Franklin lost some talent and it will be a work in progress, but think the pot is light...... Oh yeah, I had a crazy dream that Penn St won 48-0 (*I have never lost a bet when I dreamed the score....... Doesn't happen often, but when it does its money 💵.
Couple of other bets I'm on already,
Kent St TT Over 19......5 u
Texas St TT Over 12'.......5 u
Kansas St -22'.........5 u
