CFB Weeks 2-4
Welcome back to another week of sports betting predictions. In week 1 our parlay lost, but that’s ok because each week is another chance to redeem ourselves.
In week 2 of CFB, I got a little bit carried a way. I broke from the game-plan and made an 11 leg parlay instead of the typical 3-6 legs. It was so close yet so far. The first leg Louisville vs Florida State ended my dreams of a perfect parlay as Florida State beat Louisville in a thriller. The parlay went 9 for 11 which is good, but not good enough.
In week 3, I went back to the game plan and created another 6 leg parlay. This was probably my worst parlay to date. I went 3 for 6. One might say to look at the pattern and give up; but I say no to that and keep pushing forward.
This week, I am here to layout the perfect 6 leg parlay that gives the best bang for your buck.
To start out the week, Penn State playing Central Michigan, “We Are” sure to win this weekend. Ranked #14 in the country, Penn State looks to continue there win streak, and get ready for conference games coming up in the next few weeks. Penn State ML -6000
Next up is Syracuse. I am a little impartial to their dynamic offense and high scoring. Syracuse is without a loss this season, and is looking to break into the AP top 25 this week after a win over ACC rival Virginia. Syracuse ML -410
Baylor bounced back in week 3 with an impressive win over UTSA; this avenging their poor week 2 performance vs BYU. Iowa State is 3-0, though they haven’t faced any difficult opponents yet. Baylor will be there first challenge of the 2022 season, and I think they fall short. Baylor ML +120
Duke vs Kansas in the spotlight; an epic rivalry that we’ve come accustomed to in college basketball. This year, both Duke and Kansas are 3-0. This is Kansas’ best season in recent memory, they have hopes at taking a leap in the Big 12 rankings, as there is no longer competition from Texas and Texas A&M (left Big 12 for SEC). This doesn’t scare me, I am an opponent of the Big 12 when it comes to CFB. I love them in basketball and many other sports, but I find them to be frauds in big games. This game is in a spotlight, and I think Duke wins and continues the Carolina schools’ dominance in CFB this year. Duke ML +240
Florida vs Tennessee. This will be a great game. Tennessee is the better team on paper #20 vs #11 in the country, but Florida owns this rivalry. Winning 16 of the last 17 games between the 2. That is dominance. Also important to note that this is the top game of the week. College Football Gameday, a sports show that goes to a school for the game of the week, will be in Knoxville. Tennessee, again historically speaking, doesn’t play well when the extra spotlight is put on them. Florida will get back on track and win this game. Florida ML +300
The final leg of the parlay is Minnesota vs Michigan State. This was the hardest game for me to pick. Minnesota has dominated in their 1st 3 games, but they aren’t playing great competition. Michigan State has played alright, but not to their full potential. After losing to Washington last week in a horrendous performance by the offense and the defense, they will bounce back and get into mid season stride with a win/close game against Minnesota. Michigan State Spread +2.5
This concludes my predictions for week 4. For other bets, I will be opening another section on my website containing bets for baseball, NFL, other CFB predictions, and coming soon….
Signing off for now,

Thank you, I hope you take some of advice, and we can both win.
