Recapping Last Weekend

Welcome back and happy Friday, looks like I'm our college football writer these days. Anyone who reads this interested in writing one newsletter a week (paid)? Hit me up if so 🤝

Last weekend we saw Tennessee shock the world by beating Alabama. I'm not sure why they jumped my Wolverines though...they were ranked No. 6 and won at home. I guess that's what happens when you take down Nick Saban 🤔

Michigan took care of business at home as well, thanks to over 400 rushing yards vs. Penn State. Blake Corum for Heisman (currently +1200). This weekend we have another loaded slate, highlighted by these games 👇

• No. 14 Syracuse vs. No. 5 Clemson - 12PM EST on ABC

• No. 9 UCLA vs. No. 10 Oregon - 3:30PM on Fox

• No. 20 Texas vs. No. 11 Oklahoma St. - 3:30PM on ABC

• No. 17 Kansas State vs. No. 8 TCU - 8PM on FS1

Loaded might be an exaggeration, but if Syracuse beats Clemson and UCLA grabs another big win, we'll see a massive shake-up in the Top-10 and a big Heisman push from Bruins QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who currently sits at +2000 ⭐️

Stroud is the top QB in the country, and given Ohio State's relatively easy schedule, expect him to keep putting up numbers. It's his race to lose, and Ohio State is -29.5 vs. Iowa this week...

UCLA Is...Real?

My betting crew at Overtime knows I've been on the Bruins all season. I grabbed their wins future preseason, which was set at 8.5. Chip Kelly knows what he's doing, and after a few disappointing seasons, the time felt right. At 6-0, the bet looks good and technically I can afford a loss, but who wants that!? Peep how the lines are shaping up for the game of the week 👇

UCLA vs. Oregon Betting Preview (subject to change)

• Spread: Oregon -6.5

• Moneyline: Oregon -260 (bet $260, win $100), UCLA +210 (bet $100, win $210)

• O/U: 70.5

70.5 is a lot of points, but then again the Pac-12 is known for not playing defense. While the NFL is experiencing an under trend, primetime college football games usually come through with points 🙏

I like UCLA with the points, I'm doubling down until I'm wrong. The other interesting game is obviously Syracuse, who sits at 6-0 and has a chance to crack ten wins for the first time since 2018, and only the second time since 2001. Clemson is obviously favored at home, but not by thaaatttt many points 👀

Syracuse vs. Clemson Betting Preview

• Spread: Clemson - 13.5

• Moneyline: Clemson -550, Syracuse +400

• O/U: 49.5

I haven't watched one play of Syracuse football this season, anyone know if they are legit? Clemson is almost one of those squads you always take at home, and that's the way I'd go this weekend. Cuse football media is really gassing them up...makes me like Clemson even more 😅

The last game to keep your eye on is that TCU night game, where they are favored by 3.5 points at home. That's a small spread for a Top-10 team at home, K-State moneyline!

For My Parlay Gurus

We're ripping a three-teamer this weekend. Feeling dangerous. To keep it brief I like UCLA to keep rolling, Clemson to shut down any "Cuse is good" rumors, and K-State on the road strictly because the line is close. Enjoy the weekend and take a look 👇

• Clemson -13.5 vs. Syracuse: -110

• UCLA +6.5 @ Oregon: -110

• Kansas State ML @ TCU: +134
