Week 1 Football Bets

What a wonderful time of year. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the degenerates are degenning. Since I write for two publications, Paste Magazine and Predominantly Orange, this won’t really be a column, but just a place to track my bets. Last year I had a slight losing regular season but wound up making enough money to buy a few sandwiches thanks to my season long bets on Michigan State to win the B1G title. I didn’t bet the NFL as much but this year I plan on being more aggressive in the flukiest gambling league we have. I only made 2 season long bets in either NFL or NCAA as this looks to be a completely wide open season for both. Let’s get to it.

**Sunday Update***

Going 5–5 with Bob Stoops Stoopsing all over my otherwise perfect parlay and teaser is a deeply unsatisfying feeling. Load the cannon, we’re not done here.

Notre Dame (-4) @ Texas

Notre Dame vs Texas UNDER 58

Last Season NFL: 33–38–2
