Let’s all try and make some money together.

Who are you putting some $$ on for future bets and week 1. So far I like (I use SBG Global):

Miami over 9.5 wins
Florida under 8 wins
Miami -3 vs LSU (most sites are -3.5 by now)
Auburn -2.5 vs Washington (game in Atlanta)

I usually don't like to lay wood in week 1 but oddsmakers clearly have our last tilt with LSU on their mind when they made this line.

I'll take the -3.5, and the moneyline. I haven't looked at it but I'm guessing -150 or something close.
 
My site has UM -2.5! -130 lay! Hoping that goes to 3 actually. But I'm betting the house anyway so whatever.

I don't see FSU going 7-5 even if I hate them. Their schedule aint that bad unless you are assuming UL and ND will be good this year. Vtech will be the swing game but they are favored by 7 and all the money is on their side. So most people assume they are going to bounce back a little this year.

Obviously UM over 9.5 should be easy money.

There are a lot of week 1 games I like actually.
 
Week 1 is always the best time to make money. My buddy in Vegas does nothing but bet sports books and he picks about 10 mid majors and smaller, follows them and does more research than anyone setting a line. This knowledge gives him his edge until the handicappers get to see film of the smaller teams.

Week 1 is always when I’ve done the best honestly lol.

I really like to kick in the betting in October, when Baseball playoffs, NBA, and Foots are all in full swing.
Vegas usually misses one now and then with all 3 on the boards.
 
Florida under 8 wins is too risky.

They return 112 OL starts-most in SEC, 10 O Starters again most in SEC and 9 D Starters most in SEC. My experience is, that teams returning that many starters, do very well the first 2-3 games of the season and can then carry that momentum. I see 5 easy wins on their schedule and 2 other games where they should be a decent fav. Only see one real tough game--Georgia and maybe Miss St.
 
I think ND is way overrated, lost 2 best OL so I think Michigan covers at -1.5

Also really like BC -18.5
FSU Moneyline

I also like Washington and the pts +3
Washington has a stud QB and really good D
Auburn obviously also has tough D but no WR who have proved themselves and lost RB from last year who was the majority of there O

I agree it is risky. But my thought process is No QB and a mediocre coach usually means some unexpected losses. I think they will end up 8-4 (which a push is better than a loss) but a real chance they lose to 1 or 2 they shouldn’t and that’ll cause 7-5.

Between:

UGA
Miss St
LSU
South Carolina
FSU

I see 3 losses in there minimum.

Then @Tennessee, @ Vanderbilt, home vs Kentucky, and home vs Mizzou. 1 of those teams will upset them (probably mizzou).

So you're picking LSU? Why would you want it to go to 3?

How easy is it to get your money when you win. I used sportsbook.ag and it took almost 4 months to get my money.
 
Canes -3 on my site, grabbed it yesterday. Probably my only week 1 play for now, Dallas was spensive.
