We’re one week away from Costanza-ing my college football bets, as I seem to be cursed in addition to having bad judgement. This was an actual sentence that I wrote last week: “This feels dumb buying it (Tenn -3.5) on the half point but fuck it”

GEE, YA THINK!?!?!?

Ugh, let’s get to the Alamo. At least my NFL bets are going well (for now).

NCAA

Texas (+13) vs Oklahoma (Neutral Site)

Bob Stoops is in full Stoopsing mode this year. I just have a feeling that this game will be wacky.

Auburn (-3.5) @ Mississippi State

Iowa State (+17) @ Oklahoma State

North Carolina (+1.5) vs Virginia Tech

Texas A&M (-7) vs Tennessee

Colorado (+5.5) @ USC

Today may be CU’s coming out party, folks.

Alabama (-14) @ Arkansas

This is tied for my biggest bet of the weekend. All hail Darth Saban.

Miami (-2.5) vs Florida State

This bet definitely isn’t a spiteful attempt to get back at FSU for all the money they’ve lost me this year.

  • *Cousin Sal Parlay**

I’ve realized that the only parlays I do are the same one Cousin Sal loves talking about on the Bill Simmons podcast: moneyline parlays with heavy favorites thrown in, so we’ll just rename this section. Here’s this week’s loser:

Texas A&M/Texas/Colorado/Alabama at 21–1 odds

NFL

New England* (-11) @ Cleveland

This is the other half of my tie for biggest bet of the weekend. I’m just going with a full heel turn now.

Cincinnati (-2) @ Dallas

Oakland (-3.5) vs whatever is left of the San Diego Chargers

Philadelphia (-3.5) @ Detroit

6 point teaser

Minnesota (-1) vs Houston/Chicago (+10.5) @ Indianapolis

Have a good weekend folks. And fuck Donald Trump.

TOTAL

Last Week NCAA: 2–8

Season NCAA: 15–32–1

NCAA Teasers/Parlays: 0–5

Last Week NFL: 3–1

Season NFL: 12–8–1

NFL Teasers/Parlays: 3–4
