If I Was a Bettin’ Man: Week 1 Parlay
Of course in the great state of Texas sports gambling is not allowed. I would never break such a law, but if I were a bettin’ man, a gambling degenerate as some would say. Then, I will drop a weekly 3-team parlay for my readers in legal states to use when they are making bets.
Most of the time, these bets will be based on college ball as I feel that’s the easiest to bet on. Sometimes I may add an NFL bet or UFC as I do love both of those sports, but I view them as way more unpredictable.
Texas A&M vs Notre Dame
Over 47.5
This first pick feels like free money A&M has had one of the worst coaching jobs with the most talented rosters. With a new play-caller, I expect the offense to be lethal this season.
Notre Dame had one of the best duel-threat QBs in the country, Riley Lenord transfer to them this season. They also brought over LSU’s offensive coordinator who coached Jayden Daniels to a Heisman trophy last season. They will score and score a lot.
Miami vs Florida
ML Florida +114
I will not lie this is by far my riskiest pick, let us break it down.
Miami reloaded through the transfer portal this season grabbing QB from Washington State, Cam Ward as the star of the class. They also have one of my least favorite coaches in all of football, Manny Cristobal who has the clock management skills of a third-grader.
Florida might not be doing much better with Napier on the other side. Although this is SEC football and Graham Mertz the QB for Florida has been in this league since 2019 getting an extra year because of COVID. I have a belief that these older QBs have an unfair advantage it’s legit grown men against children. He was already one of the most efficient QBs last year with a 20:3 touchdown to interception ratio.
Overall it will be a close game but I will always lean toward experience in the same system and SEC talent.
Florida State vs Boston College
+16.5 Boston College
I mean first off we all saw Florida State get upset last week against Georgia Tech. Although I think they should beat Boston College I think it will be close.
Boston College has an awesome running game with QB Thomas Castellanos leading the front rushing for 957 yards last year and 11 touchdowns. With the worst coach in NFL history Bill O’Brien leading this team, I expect them to have a field day.
All together these odds have us at +719 , and make for a nice little 3 legger on the first week of college football.
Good luck and Good gambling!
