As many of you might notice, the title for this week is a little bit different. You might we wondering what this means for the future of this page, don’t you worry. I will still be delivering my CFB parlays, but this week, I’m throwing in some NBA parlays to highlight the beginning of the season.

To start my CFB parlay, Baylor ML: Baylor is playing a dangerous Red Raiders this week that has held their own against teams like Oklahoma State. I think Baylor catches rhythm and elevates their season. They are currently the underdogs at +100, but I think that will change closer to game time.

My next leg in the parlay is a big rivalry game where a lot can happen. Michigan vs. Michigan State. A lot can happen, but Michigan is favored big time. I don’t think they win by as much as Vegas says they will, so give me Michigan ML Saturday night. Ann Arbor Michigan also happens to be the sight of College Gameday, so this is a must watch game Saturday night.

This was my toughest pick of the parlay, but give me Oklahoma ML. Oklahoma plays a solid Iowa State team, but after Oklahoma’s dominant win against Kansas, I think they begin to roll.

My final leg of the parlay is Ole Miss ML. Ole Miss plays at Texas A&M which is a tough environment. They are looking to continue on a great season and I don’t think A&M slows them down.

Introducing my new segment is NBA basketball predictions from yours truly.

First off, give me Wizards ML. Wizards have been a surprise so far this season and I think they continue a solid start to the season by beating the Pacers at home.

Next, I’ll take Timberwolves ML. Minnesota is playing the Lakers who are 0-5. I am going to fade (bet against) the Lakers until they win a game. The Lakers are definitely the biggest dissappointment so far this season.

In the Bucks vs. Knicks game I couldn’t make a choice so I’m taking the over on the final score. Over 223 total points.

Bulls -5. The Bulls are playing a young San Antonio Spurs team that is tanking (purposely losing) to get the #1 overall pick in the draft, for top draft prospect Victor Wembanyana.

Phoenix ML. The Suns play a solid Pelicans team who has a couple players coming back from injuries so they might be a little rusty. The Suns have played good and I expect them to continue.

Portland ML. Portland plays a young Houston, and although their star Damian Lillard is injured, they should still put on a good performance.

I hope you enjoy these predictions. A new season has begun, and now is a time where all core US sports are active. Baseball, basketball, football, and hockey. If you are just getting into betting, have some fun with it and be smart. Don’t be afraid to tag along and tail my predictions.

That’s it for this week,

Signing off for now,

I keep saying my luck is going to change and it hasn’t so I need to take a new approach. I will be switching from my previous 6 leg parlays, and change to a better approach. I will create 2 3-game parlays, where the chance of winning will be much higher. Welcome to the next phase of my sports predictions.

Baylor ML Baylor takes on Kansas, and they look to improve on what has been a pretty disappointing season. The Bears at home are a tough team to face and I think they dominate this game. McLane Stadium will be an intense environment for the Jayhawks and there hype train comes to an end this weekend.

Ole Miss ML Ole Miss is going to beat LSU. They are undefeated, but they are the underdog in this game. LSU is on a roll, and they are a legitimate team, but Ole Miss has an elite QB that can help their offense power past a balanced LSU team.

Oklahoma State +6.5 Oklahoma State has a tough game against Texas this week, but they will hold their own. I think they will win this game, but I want to play it safe and give the Cowboys a couple points as a cushion.

My second 3 team parlay has similar odds and is going to make for a great day of college football.

Penn State ML Penn State with Whiteout Weekend is automatic. They are going to beat Minnesota, and avenge their horrible second half performance against Michigan last week. This game will be a good test for Ohio State next week. I will be at this game, and I am very excited to be able to experience this type of atmosphere. The night game, with the lights, and the new jerseys will be a lasting memory.

Tulane ML Memphis Tulane is in the rankings for the first time this year. I have a friend from my town who is a TE for Tulane, so I would love to see them get the win.

Oregon ML Bo Nix for the Heisman! Oregon has an elite offense that has been playing great since they got destroyed by Georgia in Week 1. They are playing a tough UCLA team lead by QB DTR who will put the Oregon defense to work. Both PAC12 teams are looking to continue great seasons and push for the PAC12 title. This game will have serious effects on the CFB Playoff later on this season.

I’m really hoping this new approach yields better results. Sports betting is very difficult, and I am starting to have my doubts on whether I should continue with the parlays.

Thank you for following along, these bets are sure to catch fire soon, so don’t give up on my predictions just yet. Good things come to those who wait. This betting journey has helped me learn a lot about gambling and I’m glad to share my findings with you guys.

Signing off for now,

Once again, the bet didn’t work out well, but you know what they say “you win some, you lose some”. I have been on a cold streak. Once again, I got carried away and broke from the game plan. I added an extra pick, and that pick ruined the parlay. This week, I have something heating up that is sure to break this cold and somber stretch. We are going big here, because “Go big or go home”

Rutgers ML. Rutgers faces Nebraska, and there is never a good reason to bet on Nebraska. Rutgers’ program is improving, so we are going to ride with Rutgers.

Tennessee ML. Tennessee faces LSU, and although both teams are good, Tennessee is on a hot streak, and I think they continue to win.

TCU ML. The battle of two unbeaten teams. College Gameday will be in attendance of this game, so its sure to be a good one. Both teams have great offenses, but TCU’s offense is more explosive so they are going to cruise past Kansas.

Clemson -20.5. Clemson is facing a Boston College team that is coming off a surprising victory, but they shouldn’t be worried as their Heisman candidate QB and powerful offense keep rolling.

Illinois ML. Illinois coming off a win, look to continue to win against a struggling Iowa team with a lackluster offense.

Duke ML. Duke has been great all season, Georgia Tech has not, nothing else to say about this matchup.

Auburn +29.5. Auburn faces the reigning national champs, and although they aren’t ranked #1 they are still dominant. They are going to struggle to put points up against Georgia’s defense, but hopefully they cut the gap and lose by 24 as I anticipate.

Oklahoma State ML. They are facing Texas Tech at home, and after beating Baylor on the road, no challenge seems to big for these Cowboys. They are the favorites right now to win the Big 12, and I don’t think they will disappoint this weekend.

Ohio State ML. Ohio State is still ranked #3 in the country, and they should have no problem facing this disappointing Michigan State team.

James Madison ML. Surprisingly, one of the few undefeated teams. They face Arkansas State and hope to continue a great start to the season.

USC ML. Ranked #6 in the country, under new head coach Lincoln Riley, they look to continue their dominance in the PAC 12 and beat Washington State.

Wake Forest ML. This will be a one-sided game. Wake Forest loves their passing offense and lots of TDs while Army is much more methodical. They run the ball nearly every play, and they have an offense that can only put up so many points. They won’t be able to match Wake Forest.

image source

Kentucky ML. Kentucky is going to beat South Carolina plain and simple. Kentucky has been a developing program for years, and South Carolina is behind on the curve. Kentucky’s offensive schemes and balance will have South Carolina’s defense lost.

Oregon ML. Oregon faces Arizona in a PAC 12 matchup. After a slow start, Oregon is starting to improve their season.

image source

San Diego State ML. San Diego State is facing Hawaii, which is one of their easiest games of the year. Should they not choke, they should do just fine.

Ole Miss -18.5. Ole Miss has been great this season, and now they face the SEC doormat in Vanderbilt. They will win this game, the only question is by how much. I believe that they will dominate this game and win by 22.

This is a 17 leg parlay. I know, it’s not what I’ve been doing, but what I’ve been doing hasn’t been working. Hopefully this risk pays off.
