Stay hot, kid!
We hit all our college football best bets last week to sweep the board (4-0) and now the NFL regular season is here. What a time to be alive, eh?
I’ve got two college football bets and two NFL plays this weekend. Remember, this space isn’t the place for a million picks or five-team parlays. These will always be the games I love the most.
Let’s go to work.
Texas (-7, O/U 42.5) at Michigan
I talked about Michigan +7.5 all week on “BetQL Daily” and tried to convince the boys on “Bear Bets” to fire. The hooks are gone, but I still like the Maize and Blue. Their defensive line is awesome, and there was definitely a reason we saw nothing but vanilla from the Wolverines’ offense against Fresno State.

PICK: Michigan (+7) to lose by fewer than 7 points, or win outright
Boise State at Oregon (-19, O/U 60.5)
Expect some fireworks in Eugene. Oregon’s game last week against Idaho doesn’t concern me too much. If anything, it led to an intense week of practice with Dan Lanning screaming about details and focus. I’m thinking Oregon gets to 40 points rather easily. Then there’s Boise State.

Washington Commanders at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3.5, O/U 42.5)
Bucs head coach Todd Bowles is probably salivating right now. He gets to throw all sorts of pressures and coverages at a rookie quarterback making his first career NFL start on the road. Jayden Daniels will be a fine player over time, but this is not an ideal launching point for his career. Also, Washington’s secondary is abysmal, and it’s…
