Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In A 130 Days: Georgia Tech

April 23, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

It was a tough year for the Ramblin’ Wreck. Their coach, Geoff Collins was fired after a 1-3 start to the year. They did finish decent ending up with a 5-7 overall record. One bright side is they did end up .500 at 4-4 in conference play which is a silver lining after a year of shit. The team was just not competitive the first 4 weeks of the year losing 3 games by an average of 30 points. Once the change at coach was made Georgia Tech woke up and played competitive and even winning football from the middle of the year on.

Head Coach:

As stated before Geoff Collins was replaced by new head coach Brent Key after the first quarter of the season. Key was the Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Line coach before taking over for Collins. He has been at Georgia Tech since 2019 before he had a stop as Offensive Line Coach at Alabama from 2016-2018. Before that he was at UCF as Assistant Head Coach and O-Line Coach from 2009 til 2016. He preaches hard nose run the ball and play defense football. Leading the Ramblin’ Wreck to a 4-4 season, he has a lot to prove to keep his place in Atlanta.

Key Players:

Let’s be honest this team was dog shit on offense. Their one playmaker Jeff Sims at Quarterback transferred out of Georgia Tech. They did however get once highly touted QB Haynes King in the portal who is expected to start. Their best weapon coming back is RB Dontae Smith who had 420 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns. All of their starting Wr’s will be new weapons and are unproven. The defense does return a good amount of starters and contributors from last year. The only issue is their defense was ranked 84th in points allowed. They will need unknown guys to step up and become leaders and playmakers on both sides of the ball.

2023 Prediction:

The Wreck have a very difficult Non-Conference schedule playing @ Ole Miss and vs. home state rival Georgia. Looking at the teams in conference and what the Yellow Jackets have on both sides of the ball it doesn’t look great. I would expect them to win 5 games 6 at the most. If this team goes bowling this year that is a huge win for the program.

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In A 130 Days: Florida State

April 22, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

The Noles had an up and down to back up season last year. Starting off with a big win vs. LSU and winning the next two. Then the drop off happened, losing their next 3 games, all in conference. The Noles finished strong winning its next 7 games, including knocking off rival Florida and beating Oklahoma in the Cheez-It Bowl. Finishing the season at 10-3 and ranked 11th in the AP Poll. It was an overall successful season and if they don’t lose close conference games in the middle of the year this could have been a playoff team.

Head Coach:

Coach Norvell is coming into his fourth year in Tallahassee. After a terrible first year going 3-6 followed by a 5-7 record things turned for Norvell last year. He has improved every year with the Noles, despite notable criticism from local and national media. To take a team from 3-6 to 10-3 and ranked in the top 15 in two years is impressive. A lot of the criticism comes from the Noles’ own fan base who didn’t want to hire the Group of 5 coach. I personally think the turn around Coach Norvell has done is impressive and he will continue that this year.

Key Players:

Jordan Travis is a big time Heisman trophy candidate for the 2023 year. The dual threat QB, when healthy, is one of the most dynamic players in college football. While not playing in every game, Travis still was able to complete 64% of his passes for 3,200 yards 24 touchdowns and only 5 interceptions. Travis also rushed for over 400 yards and 8 touchdowns. Florida State always have great WRs, but let me tell you about 6’7 Sophomore Johnny Wilson. This man is a flat out stud and will be a household name after this year. Last year he had 43 catches for 897 yards and 5 touchdowns. That is over 20 yards per catch; the man has big play all over him. Wilson, along with Seniors Mycah Pittman & Winston Wright Jr., might be the best receiving group in the country. The defense is young but has over 14 players coming back that contributed in a big way lead by Senior LB Tatum Bethune.

2023 Prediction:

If you look at the schedule, there is a very good chance this team could be undefeated going into the last game of the year @ rival Florida. Now the first game of the year is a huge test with LSU coming into Camping World Stadium in Orlando. It is not an actual home game, but the crowd should be majority Noles. If they get by the Tigers of LSU and then the Tigers of Clemson on the road, the schedule lightens up a lot. The ACC has a lot of bottom feeders that the Noles should handle easily. I am predicting they split vs the 2 Tiger teams and beat the Gators. If they don’t have 10 wins and are playing for an ACC title it will be a disappointing year for FSU.

Put These On The Card 4/22

April 22, 2023 /

Well the hot streak took a hit on yesterday’s “put these on the card” going 1-2. For the week we are 9-6 on picks which is a fantastic record going into the weekend. As long as we don’t have a massive failure on Saturday and Sunday we are making out with money this week.

If you have been following put these on the card then you know the weekends are when we fire off more plays. I do have 5 plays for y’all today, 3 being live tonight and 2 futures. As always I have plays in all three main sports the NBA, NHL and MLB. Lets win some money this weekend and enjoy the playoffs.

Colorado Avalanche +280 Western Conference Winners & +700 Stanley Cup Winners

As you can see from the above bet slip from FanDuel I have the Avs winning the west. I think they are the best team in the west by far even though the Kraken are giving them a hell of time in the first round. I expect that series to go 7 but the experience of Colorado will get them through that series. Obviously if I have them winning the west then I have to take a flier at +700 to win the Cup. I hope my Rangers do but I have to have money on the favorite from the other conference.

Philadelphia 76ers ML -126 @ Brooklyn

If the Nets were going to win a game in this series it would have been game three. That didn’t happen and Philly will close the Nets out here and get ready for an actually series against the Celtics. The Sixers know that Boston will close out the Hawks tomorrow and they don’t want the Celtics to have more rest. This game won’t be close, hammer the Sixers.

New York Yankees ML 158 vs. Blue Jays

Goddamn Yanks lost for me yesterday and that’s why I am putting 8 units on them today. They are not losing two division games in a row at home especially with Cole on the hill. The Jays have Manoah going for them who was their best pitcher last year but this year is struggling. I think the pitch clock is getting to him. He is a bigger guy and he can’t catch his breathe on the mound. Hammer the Yanks today hard!!

New York Rangers ML 138 vs. Devils

Look I could hedge my bet here and take the Devils because if I lose the bet my team wins and blah, blah, blah. FUCK THAT SHIT. Lets go Rangers! We are the better team in this series and now we are going to MSG! Cue the Baba O’Riley the boys will be buzzin all over Manhattan tonight. I do expect this game to me closer because the Devils are in a do or die situation. But I think the Rangers experience, physicality, mental and talent are all going to will them to win this and go up 3-0. I am just a little hesitant to go absolutely crazy because this game will be close.

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In A 130 Days: Duke

April 21, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

The Blue Devils finished much better than experts predicted last year. They went 9-4 overall and 5-3 in Conference play. Duke ended its season with a win vs. UCF in the Military Bowl. They had a top 35 offense in points per game and a top 35 defense in points per game. They had a very balanced offense with 5 players over 500 yards rushing. This team was a big surprise and took advantage of a down ACC last year.

Head Coach:

First year head coach Mike Elko brought grit and stability to the Blue Devils last year, surprising most in college football with 9 wins. The long time successful defensive coordinator had his defense in the top 35 overall in the country in efficiency. Elko’s brand of defense mixed with Kevin Johns clever offensive play calling could have Duke as more than just a basketball school.

Key Players:

There is no bigger player for Duke this year than JR QB Riley Leonard. Last year he completed just shy of 64 % of his passes for almost 3000 yards. He added in 20 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. His dual threat ability will be key for the Blue Devils. Duke was a well balanced team last year running and throwing. A big key to that was the three headed monster of Waters, Coleman and Moore. Each of the running backs had over 550 yards rushing and had 18 combined touchdowns. The defense will be lead by Senior Safety Jaylen Stinson. The teams third leading tackler also had 2 interceptions and will be a huge part of the defense next year.

2023 Prediction:

The Devils have a decently tough schedule in 2023, starting game one with Clemson. They also have a tough game at home vs. Notre Dame and Northwestern, which we never know what Wildcats team we will get year to year. I would put this team between 7-9 wins with the latter being a great year 2 for Coach Elko. The momentum from last year can really help the Blue Devils going into this year and the years following.

Put These On The Card

April 21, 2023 /

What a fantastic day yesterday on “put these on the card“. A perfect 3-0 night is definitely the momentum needed going into the weekend. The only thing that made it that much sweeter was my Rangers winning big last night as well. That is what we call a win, win.

Lets keep these great vibes going and have an undefeated weekend. Right now as we stand for the week we are 8-4. When it ain’t broke don’t fix it, with that being said we will have 3 picks. One from each of the big 3 sports playing, just like we have been doing.

Boston Celtics ML -200 @ Hawks

Yes this is a no brainer juice bag pick. Well you know what, winning a little big of money is still winning. I am going to keep putting up W’s that is the name of the game. The Celtics won each of the first two games by double digits and I don’t see that changing. Just because the Hawks are at does not mean anything, the talent level is obviously not even close. Hammer the Celtics and take the win.

New York Yankees ML -134 vs. Toronto

I told you I was going for a clean sheet today. That is why I am going to the team that even though lately has hit some bumps. The Yanks have won me the most money this year since the start of the season. I think Germain can shut down the Jays and the Yanks bats will come out to play today and all series. Bronx Bombers by 3 or more tonight.

Boston Bruins ML -156 @ Florida

After dominating game 1 in the series the Panthers shocked the Bruins last game. No one saw that coming, especially the boys from Boston. With that being said, I think that wake up call was huge for them. I expect the Bruins to come out buzzin all over the ice and show why they were the best team in hockey all year. This will be a physical and skillful beat down tonight by Boston.

Put These On The Card

April 20, 2023 /

Fucking Hump Day screws us good boys, going 1-2 on the day on “put these on the card”. We are still sitting good for the week at 5-4, we just need to keep winning 2 of 3 and hopefully have a 3-0 day today. That is the last time I ever count on the goddamn Islanders to win anything.

It is the weekend eve and we have NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs and the MLB is in full sing. I have plays for all three sports today and I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I love them. These maybe the best picks I have had for this blog, 3-0 is coming tonight boys, its cumming like a 14 year olds wet dream. LETS GO!!!

New York Mets ML -126 vs. Angels

This is an obvious play today after what transpired yesterday. The team galvanized after the bullshit throwing out of Mad Max yesterday. Scherzer was tossed in the 4th inning over “sticky substance” on his hand, it was just swear and rosin. Umpire Phil Cuzzi decided to make it about him and toss the ace pitcher out. This could bet the very thing to unite the Mets the rest of the year. They went on to win in L.A. yesterday and take the series 2 out of 3. I think the momentum continues today with Senga on the mound and the bats will be out for Max again.

Philadelphia 76ers ML -190 @ Nets

It was pretty awesome to see the Nets team bounce back after Durant and Crazy Kyrie left this year. It is commendable for them to make the playoffs and they have some good young talent. That being said, the 76ers have the MVP and are just so much more talented and experienced. The first two games were double digit victories and this game tonight will be too. Joel Embiid and his back up Paul Reed are dominating down low. Maxey and Harden are playing great basketball this game won’t be close and the series is over in 4.

New York Rangers ML +110 @ Devils

My Rangers went out on Tuesday and punched the Devils in the face. The size of the the Rangers forwards, mostly Krieder was a real problem for the smaller faster New Jersey team. They could not come even close to the center of the net. On four power plays they did not even get a shot off and their only goal was on a bullshit penalty shot. I expect the Rangers to continue to play physical, smart hockey and their starts like Tarasenko, Krieder, Kane, Panarin and the rest of the boys will bring it home again tonight. Lets Go Rangers!!!

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In A 130 Days: Clemson

April 19, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

Last year, even finishing with 11 wins and only 3 losses, the Tigers underachieved. Going into the 2022 season, expectations were through the roof for Clemson. They went undefeated in conference play and won the ACC Championship, but that’s a given in Clemson, South Carolina. There was QB controversy and what looked like a lack of effort in some games. The loss to Notre Dame can be forgiven, but losing to in state South Carolina, at home, is unacceptable. Then to end the year, they were run off the field by Tennessee. For most teams 11 wins is a great year; but not for the Tigers.

Head Coach:

Dabo Sweeney is one of the best coaches in college football. He might have taken a little credibility hit after last year. Dabo did not have his Offensive Coordinator, Tony Elliot, who was on staff for 10 years. He left to become the UVA head coach. Also Dabo did not have 10-year Defensive Coordinator Brent Venables who left for Oklahoma. The Tigers were not totally clicking on each side of the ball and those two leaving played a factor in that. I am sure a year without them and working with new staff Dabo will right ship. He made a smart decision by accepting transfers this year, as he was steadfast against the transfer portal at first.

Key Players:

When you are talking 2023 college football previews, a top name in the country is Cade Klubnik. Hailed as a savior by some Tigers fans last year, they were begging for him to take D.J. Uiagalelei out of games last year. He went 1-1 as the starter last season, winning the ACC Championship game but losing the Orange Bowl. There is no doubt the Clemson offense all comes down to his play & decision making. He will have veteran Will Shipley in the backfield as a great security blanket. Randall and Collins are big play makers on the outside if the ball can get to them. The defense is always good and they have a ton of upper class veterans starting. It will take that leadership and some young talent to replace Murphy, Bresee and Simpson. All were leaders and big contributors on the defensive side of the ball.

2023 Prediction:

I openly just laughed at Clemson’s schedule this year. It is unbelievably easy. The hardest game of the year is at South Carolina followed by home vs. Notre Dame. I don’t see them losing a conference game, because the ACC is kind of laughable. The two “tough” ACC games are both home vs. FSU & UNC. If they don’t go undefeated or 1 loss next year it will look like a bad year again for Clemson. In all honesty, they have a very good chance to cruise to the playoff.

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In 130 Days: Boston College

April 19, 2023 /

Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.

2022 Recap:

The Boston College Eagles finished last year with a 3-9 overall record. They went 2-6 in ACC play. I am not going to sugar coat it for you BC fans, they sucked last year. The injury bug plagued the offensive line which did not help. Minus the games they won, they were not very competitive in ACC play either. Losing their starting QB Phil Jurkovec to an in conference team was the cherry on top of BC’s shitty 2022 cake.

Head Coach:

Coach Jeff Hafley is coming into his 4th season as the Eagles coach with a 15-20 overall record. Besides the last season, he had Boston College over .500 and even to a bowl game 2 years ago. The defensive minded head coach needs to find a way to shut down the high flying ACC offenses. The Eagles have been a historically gritty defensive team that grind games out on offense. He really needs to find his guys this year and establish an identity.

Key Players:

It looks like Red Shirt Sophomore Emmett Morehead will be at the helm of the Eagles offense. He completed almost 60% of his passes last season with 10 touchdowns and 6 interceptions and 1250 yards. He will depend heavily on WR Joseph Griffin Jr. and Jaden Williams to make plays for the offense. Both wide outs are capable of play making, but need to elevate their game to help the Eagles be more efficient. I am guessing Pat Garwo will be the starting back behind a healthier offensive line that will be improved. I do imagine the Eagles will have a 3 person rotation at the running back. The defense has 9 of the starters as upper class-men and I really believe as a unit will be dramatically improved.

2023 Prediction:

Boston College has 4 very winnable games in their non conference schedule. UConn, Navy, Holy Cross and Northern Illinois, with 3 of those games being at home. With what I think will be an improved defense, they should be much more competitive this year. If the offense can click just a little, they should be able to win at least 3 or 4 games in conference and go bowling this year. If they fall short of that, look for the Eagles to make a change at the top.

Put These On The Card

April 19, 2023 /

Another non losing day for the “put these on the card” daily gambling blog. You like that? You see how I worded that? Lol, we went 2-2 yesterday but are plus units thanks to my New York Rangers absolutely handling the Devils. I told you my boys were going to dominate and they did just that yesterday.

I have a few futures I put in for hockey, I have the Avalanche +280 to twin the west and +700 to win the Cup. If you watch them play, they are just bigger and faster on the ice and now they have a goalie, it is scary. But we do have daily picks on this blog and again I have one from each of the big 3 sports playing now.

New York Islanders +140 @ Hurricanes

I absolutely can’t stand that team from the Island, as a Rangers fan. But I not only want to win the Cup. I want to beat the Devils, Islanders then Bruins to shut them all up on the way. That would make it so much sweeter. So I am taking the Islanders and their amazing keeper in Ilya Sorokin who is the second best goalie in hockey. Even the Islanders can manage to score 1 tonight and I think Sorokin keeps the sheet clean.

Los Angeles Lakers ML -112 @ Memphis

I was on the Lakers last game to win and they did. Now that Ja Morant is out for the series this should be a sweep. Reeves and Hachimura played out there mind game 1 and I don’t see that slowing down. This was a great draw for the Lakers and they handle business tonight. My guess this one isn’t close.

New York Yankees ML -134 vs. Angels

I might have to cool on the Yanks if they don’t pull this one out for me. They have now lost me three bets the last three times I have been on them. I will give them this last chance to win me money like they have all year. The bats have to emerge and it is ridiculous for them to be losing to the Angels. They better get it done for me tonight or they are off the card for a while.
