Gather ’round, my gamblin’ friends, because I’m back in action and ready to make us all rich again. Last season I went 21-11-1 picking college and NFL games leading up to the Super Bowl (and went 4-2 on those picks). I didn’t start betting until mid-season, so an early start this year means more picks and more wins. You may say I have a problem; I say I have a solution. These bets are 100 PERCENT GUARANTEED TO MAKE US ALL RICH.* I am willing to share them with you to prove it, too. Starting today, I will post three to five
money-making wagers every Friday and keep track of how I do. I’m putting my money where my mouth is. Feel free to join me.
CAN’T LOSE BET #1 (College Football)
UConn (+3) at Tulane – UConn +3
If you followed me last season, you know that I love to bet against trends. And it hasn’t failed me yet. UConn is one of only two teams in all of college football that is 0-5 against the spread (ATS). North Carolina is the other one, but UConn is the team to bet on this week. They are 3-point underdogs on the road against a Tulane team that should never be favored. The Huskies had a tough loss two games ago at South Florida, then got smoked at home by Temple in their most recent game. However, they are coming off a bye, so expect them to bounce back, play hard and probably beat Tulane on Saturday. Take the points just in case, though.
CAN’T LOSE BET #2 (College Football)
Houston at Memphis – OVER 50
Houston has been known for having a high-scoring offense the past several seasons, so it’s quite surprising that all five of their games so far this season have seen the under hit. They are still fully capable of scoring a ton, though, putting up 47 points in a game twice this year already. After scoring only 12 points in a bad loss last week at home against Central Florida, I expect the Cougars to rebound and score a lot. Memphis also has a pretty decent offense, averaging 35.6 pts/game. The over is a lock.
CAN’T LOSE BET #3 (NFL)
Pittsburgh at Cleveland – UNDER 47
The Browns being 2-2 right now is a surprise, but what’s more surprising is that the two games they lost were by a combined 5 points. They have also shown some grit in a couple of come-from-behind wins, and are currently putting up an average of almost 26 pts/game. The Steelers are 3-2, but have been wildly inconsistent scoring points. When these two teams met in Week 1, the Steelers won 30-27. The over has hit in all four Browns games. All signs point to betting the over, but that’s what Vegas wants you to think. I expect a tough, defensive, division game battle. Hammer the under.
CAN’T LOSE BET #4 (NFL)
New England at Buffalo – OVER 45
The Bills offense has not been very good, but Kyle Orton has had another week of practice with the starters after a nice win in Detroit last week in his season debut where he threw for 308 yards. The Patriots offense looked dismal until Tom Brady and company gave us all the middle finger on Sunday night in their beat-down of the Bengals. Buffalo games have all been under the total so far this season. It’s time to buck that trend. This feels like a back-and-forth game with each team scoring in the high 20s or low 30s. Bet the over, and start spending your money now.
