Another beautiful season is upon us. I am vowing to only post plays with writeups. I got really busy this week and the college football season snuck up on me so I will do a review of last seasons picks and all the years (I think we’re over 10+ years but lost count now) in the next post. Good luck all on the season. Love this week 0 play.

Week 0
UNC +9.5 (-110)
UNC ML (+275) .5x

UNC +9.5 Risking 1.1 units to win 1 units
UNC ML +275 Risking .5 units to win 1.38 units
What a beauty to start off Week 0 at noon. Your giving us 10 points (buy the half with your booki but I’m using betstamp for 3rd party verification so I cant) with Bill Blicheck in his 2nd year - who’s defensive schemes dominated in the NFL in the past and this past year they did relatively well considering how bad their offense was, how green their team was and how completely different everything became. Belichick brings a whole new type of culture and mentality to a program - that is how you win 6 super bowl rings - many players ended up leaving due to the culture shift and better guys were brought in. Including a new OC, one of the best, Bobby Petrino - who most recently came over from Arkansas who had a Top 15 offense the last two years under his tenure. He’s getting an experience Billy Edwards Jr at QB who is one of those 6th year seniors and started 13 games at a few different programs and got injured at Wisconsin last year which cut his season short. Also returning one of the most explosive and badass players named Demon June– he should easily surpass his average of 5.52 yards per carry on the season last year and go for over 1000 yards getting the bulk of carries. On the other side we have TCU, who not only lost their starting QB, but also their OC Kendal Briles who was a big part of their dynamic offense - their new OC - Gordon Sammis - has hardly the pedigree and came from UConn the last 2 years where he was mediocre. He will have to break in Jaiden Craig - who started the last two years - but at Harvard so I expect Belichick to eat him alive - but I could be wrong. I love UNC with the points and sprinkle a half unit on the ML because I can’t tell you how many times over the years I took dogs and just the points and they end up winning ML too. This is the only play for Week 0.
