    9-28 College Football

    For me here today I’m steering away from the biggest games so I’m passing on the Alabama/Georgia game because it could go either way. I’ll pick Georgia tho just for making a pick. So I have a lot of underdogs myself for today. Also I’ll probably avoid it but if I do bet it’ll be on Auburn vs. Oklahoma but I wasn’t impressed last week with Auburn but thats how they have gone. Same thing in Duke vs. North Carolina, I see consensus all on UNC but they just let James Madison hang 70 on them or something like that so no bet. I will make a light play on the total in Bama/UGA for the under

    134: CFB: Connecticut under 44½

    190: CFB: Texas A&M under 51½

    202: CFB: Alabama under 49½-108

    132: CFB: Indiana U -7-105 -Look to get a better number on the favorite

    119: CFB: No Illinois +8

    134: CFB: Connecticut -5½

    126: CFB: James Madison -21 – Beware of letdown game after big win vs. UNC – they should win and win big but it’s a pass for me.

    129: CFB: Akron +10-112

    149: CFB: Kentucky +16 – Has played last 3 matchups close and has shown the ability to compete against Georgia but Dart and Ole Miss are dangerous.

    152: CFB: Kansas State-5 – Very likely candidate for a live bet getting the better number

    143: CFB: Western Kentucky+8½ – Unknown on BC side with QB injury

    157: CFB: South Florida+5½-115

    139: CFB: Western Michigan +4½-109

    165: CFB: Navy-4-109 – May try a live bet here as well

    189: CFB: Arkansas+6- Against a tough Texas A&M team, might look hard at the under

    191: CFB: Louisville+7 – Consensus on ND but it was last year too when the Cardinals won outright

    181: CFB: UL Monroe+7-120

    177: CFB: Charlotte+6

    As always best of luck and enjoy your Saturday

    A different week in college football than what we have seen thus far, with the SEC playing their choice of non conference door mats for the most part, the ones playing league games feature a Florida team who has been unable to bring things together getting beat and beat bad last week, and in week 1 they just looked unable to compete with Miami. Same thing on the Mississippi State side who has just been demolished early in games vs. Arizona State and Toledo. Not sure what to really think here as the Gators are -6 on the road. Someone is going to get a conference win and with Napier on the hot seat I will take Florida with little confidence. Might as well go with a total play also maybe with uncertainty all around I’ll give you a pick but I won’t put a dollar on this game personally because I just havent’ seen it. Consensus is Florida -6 and over 58, but with the Bulldogs expected to try to run the ball via 3 man committee I don’t trust it.

    -Pass on this unless you are just a fan of one of these schools

    On down the line to Arkansas vs. Auburn – These two aren’t the top of the league either but I’ve at least watched the Hogs play vs. Ok. St. and they managed to barely cover when they should have won. I also saw a bit of Cal beating Auburn and really all that is out the window because the division may be gone but this is an SEC West clash. Auburn has won 2 of 3 in the matchup and this has been where the Tigers bounce off a lot of points in margin of victory. Yea Petrino may have something to turn things back the hogs way as 92% of the consensus is on the visiting Razorbacks. The total not receiving much action but Auburn has put up 113 in the last 3 vs. Arkansas. So I have no idea how these two are going to change the way things have gone the past few matchups. I’ll take the over 56 even with early consensus 84 % under, I’ll also say hold up on Auburn just getting steam rolled here and take Auburn with 8% consensus only right now -140 because even with all the action on the Razorbacks the bookmaker still has Auburn hanging on installed favorite for the matchup.

    Auburn -140 , Auburn over Team Total, Arkansas/Auburn OVER 56.

    A quick walk through some of my other SEC picks

    LSU -22

    Tennessee -7 OVER 56.5

    Ole Miss Over Team Total/ GASO-OleMISS OVER 67

    Kentucky UNDER 42

    South Carolina UNDER 42

    Dog Day Afternoon? These are in my opinion the best ones and you may want to try money line on these underdogs if your into that sort of thing.

    Rutgers +3.5

    Baylor +2

    Navy +9.5

    BYU+6.5

    James Madison +10.5

    Kansas +2

    Wyoming +7

    Western Kentucky +2

    Purdue +4

    Georgia Tech +10.5

    What else now? Well we got some action in BC vs. Mich St. where O’brien has the Eagles playing well. The action at consensus sees BC-6.5 and UNDER 45 winning by a landslide, but remember folks this thing is a real game not an election.

    FSU looking for their first win against California where the Noles are -140. At least DJ has played QB last year vs. this Cal team.

    Michigan host USC – The question here is how good is Michigan at stopping those wide receivers? UM pass defense is 98th in the nation and this is a group with NFL talent. Maybe not the same way that Texas went in and won because the Wolverines should be able to run here and try to shorten the game. Consensus has UNDER 44 and the visitors leaving with a cover but the Big House is a difficult place to win at.

    Out of that list I’ll sit down and see where I feel comfortable putting the actual wager on.

    As always best of luck and enjoy your Saturday of college football!

  • Griff Report - Friday 13th, NFL Week 2 - F*ck Consensus
    Sep 14 2024
    Top of board seeing all the money on the Ravens, hosting the Raiders. What did we learn from week 1? The Ravens are still getting warmed up as they looked like they were rehearsing for a game in January but it wasn’t game day yet, but it was week 1 of the NFL with the expanded season. What the Raiders did was put their chips on a defensive mastermind who has the brains of G-men taking down the goat in the Super Bowl. This is one where I’m gonna say my pick but your looking and saying only 9% consensus on the Raiders that can’t be right Griff. Well head to head last time was a Raiders win, and I have to believe in house that the Raiders believe Minshew is capable of getting them to postseason or you gotta draft someone which they didn’t. Wait there more Minshew II just beat the Ravens a year ago in Baltimore with a less respected group of receivers. F the consensus… Give me the Raiders and points, Raiders over Team Total! 263Raiders-RavensOver42½42½Over41½ 263Raiders+8½+9-115 Oh no Griff don’t pick them no one thinks they are going to win! Once again, the world saw how bad the Giants are in truth last week but that must’ve not been their day or those horrible uniforms made everyone want to say you guys are playing like Michigan except thats a college team and you might be in for loss against Georgia. This week they get their most favorable matchup of the year… the Commanders. New QB for Washington and he might look like a star playing at home but wait the Giants are 3-0-1 against Washington the last four matchups. I believe the Giants may take advantage of the rookie here and I’m gonna just hope they play better or the coach may be someone else’s coach next year. 281Giants+3-117+1+ev Are the Bengals still in preseason mode? Looks like no Higgins and no way they are gonna be able to bobble the ball that much and win in almost any game this year. They had the fumble when they were about to score more dropped passes and just an overall un-cohesiveness that implied to me watching the whole game that they are not concerned about winning week 1. This thing is going to have be a marathon for the Bengals so it’ll be how they finish, maybe how good Burrow learns to do that Peyton Manning let the defense get in pass defense and then audible your blockers routine and run where your can go hat vs hat routine. Right now? The Chiefs looked like world beaters, won only 2 of 5 vs. the Bengals with current QBs and the KC defense has been best in the league when they are locked in. Can anyone else step up when they double Chase? If so the Bengals win maybe cover. For me I’ll slide on to the total and think both teams want sustained drives and not a lot of full steam ahead hits for a hundred plays so I’ll go with the under but wait consensus is 97% on the over 48 here. F- Consensus give me the Bengals and I’m not touching the whatever number your holding fool. At least Burrow has better history against this team and maybe this thing turns into a shoot-out and at that point anything can happen. Consensus on the Chiefs, but me I got my Bengals wool jacket and I’ll take the 6 points. 285Bengals+6-115+6 Well Rodgers and Jets got gut the jab jab gut punch routine at the hands of the 49ers week 1. This week they actually have a shot to win. I’ll leave it at that, I’m on the Jets money line here and if that don’t work I’ll double it back until Rodgers pilots the Jets to victory no matter how many games that routine takes. Plus remember the Titans last trip to NYC to face the Jets? Take the points and hope you don’t get clipped in the fight and end up wishing you would’ve just laid the odds instead of the number. 279Jets-220, -3.5 if your feeling lucky-180 Where do you go historically or just with a gut instinct in the Steelers vs. Broncos. It’s been a long time since Pittsburgh has won in Denver, not since 2009. One for the guys in yellow? How about 24-6 for Tomlin vs rookie QBs. Who’s at QB now thats Fields I believe or we would have another story line with Wilson vs. Denver. Fields lost last year vs. Denver but it really wasn’t his fault, he threw for 28 of 35 9+ yards per for 335 yards 4 TD and 1 INT. If he does anywhere close to that then he has a much better run game and defense to back him this year. I won’t recommend laying the number here either, slide on over to the money line because this could be an under here as well and who thought the Steelers start 2-0, well we will see. 287Steelers-150-140 If you need more picks than that you might want to seek professional help… and I mean that literally because if you don’t have the right stats you might as well just throw your money away. As Always best of luck and enjoy your Sunday!
