WSU -7 Here we have two teams with new head coaches and new teams. I give Wichita State the upper hand. This team has a killer home court advantage and that should play big early in the season. WKU played a walkover game against a D-II school in its opener while the Shockers hammered a respectable Lipscomb team. I think Wichita State is the more prepared team. They are also more talented and they have at least a semblance of continuity versus a WKU team that is replacing all five starters.

My bad. 229 is the total on Den vs LAL. I love the over

Im leaning Lakers +6 cuz its the only game of the year you know AD ajd Lebfon are healthy and fresh. Along with Denver getting their rings theres a lot of distractions tonite. Total of 236 seems low to me. I like the over on that.

Right out the gate I like GS on the Money Line at home

Finally hoops is back. NBA at least. Was a cash cow last season. First week is always tough not fully knowing what to expect from teams. But Vegas and line makers are also in the same spot. First month you can usually find some really strong lines that are off before vegas gets dilaed in.

OSU -3.5. Oregon State is 14-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. They have already beaten Utah at home, and they have a similar quarterback situation that UCLA does (freshman on the road). The Beavers are on a rampage and want to knock off all the teams leaving the conference next season. The fan base is that much more motivated, especially when playing UCLA, a team that started the dominos falling. UCLA has a strong defense, but they will not be able to win that game on defense alone.

N TX. -5. HUGE mismatch. What I mean is North Texas can run the football and Temple is helpless to stop it. This eats clock and controls possession. This is a home game for NTU as well. Temp. has put up some points in games but not being able to establish some rhythm on offense with NTU just running it down their throat and keeping the Owls offense off the field is going to be an issue here. Temple averages 5 yards per rush allowed, what NTU avgs running it while also avg 276 yrds a gm passing

As an SF Giants fan watching the Dodgers get swept and losing intje NLDS AGAIN as the have bow wasted 15 years of title chances is the next best thing to watching the Giants win it all. (That 60 game title season is like winning the Catus league)

The model change my mind. But it’s still new. It came out the gate for NBA and NCAA hooos on fire tho. It’s not easy. It’s tough to decide what data to put into it. Like I said I know a little about it. My good friend built it from scratch.

Built AI LM software. Spent the most time with it on NBA My buddy was helping me with it. He knows way more about it than I’ll ever. Basabeall one was running well. At about 58% around all star break. But there was some games it was picking that there was onvious flaws. Been trying to get it dialed back in. College football it’s been money so far. Nffl small sample size I make my picks then I compare. I had Lions (lock). I had Niners last thur. Sometimes I’ll let

BYU +2. On Monday it was BYU -2.5, my model still has it BYU -5 so ill tske the free points. The Cougs will be at bome in front of a loyal fan base coming off a tough loss at Kansas a week affer beating Arkansas. BYU win hone and Away vs Cincy in 2015-16 Cincy QB Jones has 0TDs and 4 INTs in L 2 ganes one of them a 31-24 loss as 14 point home faves to Miami of Ohio. BYU covers early deoending when u made your bet/ wins this outright

OSU-3. Beavers are 13-1 SU in Reser Stadium since 2021, with their only loss coming by 3 last year to USC. I always love taking the Utes at home but I dont trust either fairly unoroven Nate Johnson or likely a rusty Cam Rising in this spot if he nakes his season debit. Sometimes the trends dont lie. OSJ 24-16

Short week is hard. A lot of what u use to pick a game on regular rest goes right out the window. The only 3 things that seem to matter most for Thursday night games is health and whose the hotter team.

8-2 night on all sports follaong a 4-1 night. Most of tonites picks were locks from the jump. The spreadswere so off. Lions -2. Tulsa -3. W Kent -6. All blowouts mad a killing live bettingg. The. jax stste was close -6. Yanks Tor under 8.5 close, balt on RL won 2-0. Habe the rangers and thez uo 2-1 in 9th. 13-3 last 2 nights up $650 not bad
