Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In 130 Days: Kansas State

May 17, 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 Wildcats had a hell of season last year. They went 10-4 overall, 7-2 in conference, and were the Big 12 Champions. One of the only negatives of last year was the loss in the Sugar Bowl to Alabama. Everyone loses to Bama. Kansas State should be very happy with winning the most competitive conference in football last year. To beat TCU, who up until then was undefeated all year in the Big 12 Championship game took a lot of heart. They finished the year at 14 in the AP poll even with the Sugar Bowl loss. I think all in all it was a very successful season for Kansas State.

Head Coach:

Coach Klieman is doing one hell of a job down in the little apple. In his 4 seasons in Manhattan, he has 3 winning seasons, 1 conference championship, and a bowl victory. That is a damn good start especially taking the head job from the legend Bill Snyder. He already has half the conference championships as Snyder, but needs to win bowl games and keep the consistent winning seasons going. Klieman definitely has the coaching prowess to be the next great Big 12 coach. His job before taking over at Kansas State was at North Dakota State which was his first head coaching job. He was only there as head coach for 5 years, but he won 4 FCS championships with one third place finish. That is what we call a winning tradition. He then proved it last year, only his fourth year at Kansas State, that he could bring home hardware. I like when doing a college football preview that I can compliment a coach, not bash.

Key Players:

My favorite part of doing a college football preview is learning about the studs coming back to school. QB Will Howard is back for his Senior year after splitting time last year with Adrian Martinez. He only played in 7 games due to the splitting of time, but still put up great numbers. Howard had a 59.8% completion percentage for 1,633 yards. Howard had 15 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. They have a huge hole at running back to fill with Deuce Vaughn and his 1,936 scrimmage yards and 12 TDs leaving for the NFL. DJ Giddens and his 518 yards, 5.8 ypc and 6 touchdowns will be one of the guys trying to fill that. Where they may struggle on the offensive side of the ball is at WR. Only one WR on the depth chart, RJ Garcia, caught any passes last year. Garcia only had 7 catches for 70 yards and 1 touchdown. Austin Moore, the team’s leading tackler from last season, is back. He had 87 tackles, 10 TFLs, 2 FFs, 1.5 sacks and an interception. Let’s just say watch the tape. This will linebacker was everywhere last year. Their best player in the secondary coming back is Kobe Savage. Savage had 58 tackles, 3 TFLs, 3 Ints and a FF. He is a very good safety in coverage and in supporting the run game. DE Brendan Mott who had 6 sacks last season is the best rusher back, but needs to be better on every down.

2023 Prediction:

The Wildcats have a very underwhelming non-conference schedule, which will definitely help their record. They have home games vs. South Eastern Missouri and Troy. Two easy wins. Then they do have a little more difficult road game at Missouri that they should win. I will say at worst 2-1 more then likely 3-0. The conference road games are Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Texas and Kansas with only one back-to-back week of road games. They should go 3-1 in these games; at worst 1-3. The home games this year in conference are UCF, TCU, Houston, Baylor and Iowa State. I think the first three home games are wins. UCF and Houston are new to the conference and it is a step up. TCU lost so much talent from last year’s team. I don’t like them at all this year. I think Baylor, Kansas State might be the game of the year no one is talking about. Iowa State is always pesky. I will say, at least 3-2 with 4-1 being a very good home stand for conference games. The ceiling is 10-2 and the floor being 7-5. I would take them to win 9 games; that would be my best call for Kansas State this year. A very good team in a very competitive conference. This college football preview was positive but is it the best for the Big 12?

Put These On the Card 5/17

May 17, 2023 /

Well shit, the Braves blew it late for the first time this year. The Phillies just played like the Phillies. Thank god I know my Mets are terrible to save face on yesterday’s “put these on the card”. We will win today.

Yeah maybe it’s a little corny, but so am I and I win more then most, After a flawless start to the week we did have hiccups yesterday. For the week the record is still strong at 4-2. I have three more winning picks today, so out these on the card.

Minnesota Twins ML +126 @ Dodgers

Yeah I know the Twins offense is laughably bad. But they have Sonny Gray on the hill today. Right now he is the front runner for the AL Cy Young award. He is 4-0 with a 1.39 ERA and 56 Ks. I think he will shut the Dodgers bats down for 7 innings. Just enough to score the 3 or 4 runs it will take to win. They can’t be that bad at hitting, they are paid professionals after all.

New York Yankees ML -116 @ Toronto

Just like the last pick I am going with elite pitching. Cole is the Yankee‘s stopper. No matter if they are on a losing streak or winning streak he is going to dominate on the mound. I think the pitch clock has helped him just pitch and not think so much. He is 5-0 with a 2.22 ERA and 62 Ks. The Yankees are 8-1 in games started my Cole. The only loss was in extra innings. Love the Yanks and their ace today.

Tampa Bay Rays ML -104 @ Mets

I told you yesterday, when the Mets had their “ace” they were going to lose to the Rays. The Rays had a bullpen game and the Mets still got blown out. The Mets are a dead baseball team and the Rays are the best in the league. It will happen again tonight even with the Rays throwing Fleming and the Mets have their good young arm in Senga. I will keep betting against my Mets because they are dead, no heart, no want season over.

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

May 16, 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:

Each college football preview is different because of history and expectations. Today we have a team that went 6-6 in the regular season san 6-7 after losing a bowl game. Now for most teams that would be considered a bad season. In Lawrence Kansas this was a season of hope. They finally saw a team that was competitive vs. the rest of the Big 12. A team that actually showed signs of life and heart. They have only been to 13 bowl games in 133 years of playing college football. For them to make it last year, albeit they did suffer a loss is a step in the right direction. After this .500 regular season record their is a glimmer of hope that Kansas might not be just a basketball school anymore.

Head Coach:

The reason for all this hope starts and ends with the great hiring of Coach Lance Leipold. If you do not know of Leipold that is because he was in Division 3 football from 2007-2014. He was the head coach of D3 power UW-Whitewater and all he did their in 8 years was win 6 national titles and was runner up the 2 other times. What does that mean? It means he knows how to build a winning program, and how to win. No matter what level to win that much means there is something about you, and you know how to lead players. To further prove that point, after 2014 he moved on to the University of Buffalo. To put things into prospective before Leipold Buffalo went to three bowl games ever in their 106 years a the Division 1 level. Leipold in his 6 years went to three himself winning 2 of the bowl games. He also added 2 MAC east championships while he was there, something that was never accomplished previously by any Buffalo coach. Again proving he is a winner and can turn around programs. This is why the hire of Leipold is huge for Kansas because he can get it done. I truly believe that Leipold and his great offensive mind will get Kansas out off the bottom of the Big 12. After a 2-10 first year, that 6-6 last year already started the turn around process.

Key Players:

Kansas has its most dynamic player coming back in QB Jalon Daniels. In 9 games due to injury Daniels had a 66.1% completion percentage. He threw for 2,014 yards, 18 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Oh and another 425 yards rushing and 7 more touchdowns. If he stays healthy Daniels is a top 3 coach in the Big 12 no doubt about that. To help Daniels with the running game leading rusher Junior Devin Neal is back. Last year he had 1,090 yards, averaging 6.1 yards per carrying and 9 touchdowns. Also he has his boys on the outside coming back to make big plays in the passing game. His four leading pass catchers last year were Lawrence Arnold, Luke Grimm, Quentin Skinner and tight end Mason Fairchild are all back. That is a combined 157 catches for 2,222 yards and 21 touchdowns. That is so much production coming back, their offense is going to be fucking good. Their leading tackler and guy who pops on tape Kenny Logan Jr is back. He had 106 tackles, 1.5 TFLs, 2 Ints, 5 Pds and 1 FF from his safety spot. At the linebacker position Craig Young will lead that group after having 60 tackles, 5.5 TFLs, 4.5 sacks, an int and ff. They have to replace their leading sack man in Lonnie Phelps. I believe that will be filled by DE Jereme Robinson who had 8.5 TFLs and 3 sacks himself. Most of the starters are back on defense and are only going to get better this year.

2023 Prediction:

Looking at Kansas’ non-conference schedule it is very favorable. They should easily handle Nevada and Missouri State. The Illinois game is also very winnable because the Illini lost a lot of players last year. At worst 2-1 in the non-conference but most likely 3-0. The home conference games are definitely tough with Kansas State, Oklahoma, BYU, UCF, and Texas Tech. They could go 3-2 in that stretch and at worst 2-3. The road games are Texas, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Cincy. I think they beat Cincy who will be at the bottom this year. With all the talent back they should get another road win and be 2-2. I think the ceiling is 9-3 and the floor being another 6-6 year which again they are building. I am betting them over 8.5 wins for sure, I think 9 is very gettable for the Jayhawks this year. Who would have thought 5 years ago I have Kansas at 9 wins in a college football preview. Crazy.

Put These On The Card 5/16

May 16, 2023 /

I told y’all this week on “put these on the card” would be different. The results speak for themselves. I am out here putting the work into winning these bets. Every day putting the time and energy to study these matchups and give you people the winners. UNDEFEATED 3-0 start to the week!

I ain’t never scared to pick an underdog if I know they are going to win. I straight up gave you a huge dog in the Nats yesterday, the NATS! And they went out there and whooped ass. No doubt I am one of the best to give daily free picks on the internet, so put these on the card.

Tampa Bay Rays ML +142 @ Mets

This is the dumbest line that Vegas has put out on any game this year. I get they are giving Verlander some respect. The Mets sucks!! As a Mets fan who told you yesterday they would lose and bad to lowly Nats, just listen to me. Verlander will be hurt in 5 games and be done for the year. This Mets team is going nowhere fast. They can’t pitch, hit or field. As for the game tonight Verlander will go 6 or 7 give up 2 runs and the Mets will lose 2-0. Their offense is putrid, and the Rays are the best team in baseball. Hammer this play today, Hard!

Atlanta Braves ML -120 @ Texas

I bet them yesterday and as always they never let me down. The Braves are like the famous Al Davis line, Just Win Baby. They will continue to be on my card 4, 5, 6 times a week if I like the matchups. Most times with the Braves I love the pitching and their hitting is always clutch. As for tonight the Braves are facing Dane Dunning who is a reliever stepping in for a start. Has a pretty good ERA at 1.72 but the Braves have scored 132 runs and hit 37 home runs so far vs. righties. I love the Braves lineup vs anyone even if Atlanta is starting a young pitcher as well. Hammer the Braves they just win baby.

Philadelphia Phillies ML -112 @ Giants

The Phillies have not been great this year, I get it. But they have their best pitcher in Zach Wheeler on the hill. Even though his ERA is a little higher than usual he is always capable of a complete game shut out. I love Wheeler vs. the Giants, because the Giants are such a hot and cold hitting team. You know Wheeler will go at least 6 and maybe give up 2 or 3 at worst. The Phillies will hit the Giants harder than 3 runs and win this game, hammer the Phillies tonight.

Ultimate College Football Preview, 130 Teams In 130 Days: Iowa State

May 15, 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 Cyclones started their 2022 season off very hot going 3-0. They even beat Iowa in Iowa City for the Cyhawk trophy. That might be on of the last good thing that happened for Iowa State in 2022. They lost 8 of their last 9 games to end the season. I will say their defense was actually very good and finished 18th in point per game only giving up just over 20 points a game. The issue all year was their offense was just dreadful and really hard to watch. They finished 114th in the country with again over 20 points a game. If you look they scored under 20 points 7 seven times. To sum it up, defense really good, offense historically bad.

Head Coach:

Matt Campbell in my opinion is one of the best younger coaches in college football. Yes last year was terrible we know that, but look at the rest of his time in Ames. Campbell has been there for seven season and 5 of those seasons the Cyclones had winning records and went bowling. Campbell is a 2 time coach of the year and has a New Year Six bowl win, the 2020 Fiesta Bowl. This is all at a place that was a horrible football school before he go there. They only had 19 winning seasons in the previous 100 before Campbell was the head man. I have no doubt he will get the ship turned around after last year. That is what good coaches do after a down year.

Key Players:

Red Shirt Junior QB Hunter Dekkers is back after a very rocky first season as the Cyclones starter. Dekkers had 3,044 yards on a 66.1% completion percentage with 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Dekkers needs to throw the ball down the field and stretch defenses more. He needs to do that while simultaneously cut the interceptions down. Dekkers has the ability to do this talent wise he just needs to make the right reads and know when to take his shots. As of now there is no X WR on the depth chart to help Dekkers and Xavier Hutchinson is gone. In fact only 2 WR with any catches are on the roster now. Senior Dimitri Stanley is going to have to contribute a lot more than his 32 catches for 383 yards and 1 touchdown. A lot will come on Stanley’s shoulders as he is the only WR to really do anything for the Cyclones last year. I am sure he will get help with people transferring into fall camp. The running game was not great either last year but do have leading rusher Jirehl Brock who had 445 yards rushing, 4.5 ypc, and 3 touchdowns. Again not a lot of production coming back. That might be a good thing as the offense was historically bad. Leading tackler Gerry Vaughn is back in his LB position after having 71 tackles, 4.5 TFL’s and 1 sack. The secondary has their leading guys in tackles with Beau Fryler and Myles Purchase. Iowa State will have a strong defense again with these players and others back. They do need some depth at DE and LB though.

2023 Prediction:

Looking at the Cyclones non-conference schedule I definitely think at worst they will go 2-1 and 3-0 is not far fetched. They should easily handle Northern Iowa and Ohio. They beat Iowa last year in Iowa and the Cyclones were bad. So yes they can beat them at home this year when I expect them to be better. The Big 12 conference schedule could be a gauntlet this year with new teams coming in. The road games at BYU, KSU, Oklahoma,Baylor and Cincy. If they can go 2-3 or 3-2 in road games they can really make a run at a good year. The home conference games are Ok State, TCU, Kansas and Texas. TCU is down after losing a lot of players last year, OK state, Kansas and Texas will be hard. I am saying 3-1 but could see 4-0 or 2-2. The schedule is very tricky for Iowas State. I will say their ceiling is 10-2 if everything goes absolutely perfect and guys really step up on offense. The floor is 6-6 this is just a typical year in the competitive Big 12, but I always will bet on Coach Campbell.

Put These On The Card 5/15

May 15, 2023 /

We had a hell of day yesterday going 3-1 on the Mother’s Day edition of “put these on the card”. We hit the special Jason Tatum play and the the dominating Rays hit again for us. I did not hit the 75 % I wanted but we came back from the depths to make it a respectable week.

That is right, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. we were down bad in the middle of the week. It was looking like it would be a 30 or 40% on picks. But like the true awesome sports gambler I am, we made a run. The week ended at 11-12 just under .500 which I will take after a couple of real shit days. I have 3 awesome plays to start this week, so put these on the card.

Washington National ML + 136 vs. Mets

This has way more to do with my Mets being pathetic then anything to do with the Nats. I do think Corbin is pitching tonight for the Nats and he is good enough to beat this shit team. Peterson is on the hill for the Mets and he might be the worst pitcher ever. Fuck this team. They are terrible, everyone except Alonso should be traded or let go. Another season of the Mets being the same old Mets, so fucking tired of it. Oh well I will bet against them the rest of the year and make money then. Hammer the Nats at home, vs the worst pitcher in baseball.

Los Angeles Angels ML -130 @ Baltimore

I am hammering the Angels in this spot. Shohei is on the mound, where he is 4-1 with at 2.74 ERA and 66 K’s. More Importantly the Angels are 6-2 overall when Shohei is the starter this year. He is also batting .286 with 8 HR and 26 RBI’s. Give me the most talented baseball player and Mike Trout to win tonight.

Atlanta Braves ML -154 @ Rangers

Another day picking the Braves because all they do is win, win, win me money. I love the Braves for making be look smart and putting money in my pocket. Morton is on the mound and I think I have won every game he has pitched this year. The Braves are my far the class in the National League and they will win this game easy. Hammer the Braves.

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

May 14, 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:

What to say about the Baylor Bears in the 2022 season hmmmmm? Disappointing I think is the best word to describe the Bears last year. They only had 5 wins vs. FBS schools and 6 wins overall. But if you ask any Baylor fan last year was kind of a dumpster fire. The Bears stared off the first two thirds of the season with a respectable 6-3. Then they lost the last 4 games including a bowl loss to a service academy in Air Force. That is just not acceptable for the fans in Waco. Yes their last 3 regular season games were against 3 ranked in conference teams but you have to win won. They let TCU squeak out a last second win, good teams don’t allow that to happen. There is too much talent and the coaching is too good to go .500 on the year. Just what could have been, they were in contention to make the conference championship the last third of the year and just shit the bed.

Head Coach:

One thing I do like about Baylor is Head Coach Dave Aranda. I think he has the exact temperament needed in Waco after all the bullshit that has gone on there in years before. Aranda is a defensive wizard and he teams usually always compete. After a terrible covid laden 2020 first season at Baylor, where he went 2-12 he bounced back. His second year on the job he took the Bears to a 12-2 season. They won the Big 12 and the Sugar Bowl. That is what I believe the ceiling is in Waco and Aranda hit it year 2. Last year was a regression year going 6-7 with a bowl loss. Baylor is not a national power that is suppose to win double digit games every year. I do think however a bowl game each year and playing for the conference title and ten wins every 2 or 3 years should be the goal for Aranda. I just hope his early great success doesn’t cost him in the long run in Waco. the fans need to realize they have a great coach but they are Baylor, not Alabama.

Key Players:

Red Shirt Junior QB Blake Shapen is back in Waco after last year he had 2,790 yards on a 63.3 % completion percentage. Shapen had 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in Baylor’s Power Spread offense. Honestly I think he could do a lot better and they expect him to take a huge jump up this year. His number one target, Monaray Baldwin who had 33 catches 565 yards and 4 touchdowns is back for his Junior year. He has his second leading WR, Hal Presley back after having 32 catches for 382 yards and 4 touchdowns last year. I think these two along with new guys stepping up could make an electric passing game in Waco. The backfield has the biggest contributor on offense coming back in Richard Reese , who as a true freshman had 972 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. The youth from last year on offense is now experienced. That usually makes for big time play making! The loss of the top two tacklers from last year will need to be replaced. One guy ready for that job is LB Matt Jones who last year had 65 tackles, 4.5 TFL’s and 2 sacks. I am expecting him to be the captain of that defense. Along with Garmon Randolph who lead the team in sacks at DE. I love doing a college football preview about a team that is on the up and up.

2023 Prediction:

One of the most important parts of a college football preview is, well it is previewing the season opponents. I believe the Bears are guaranteed to go at worst 2-1 in the non-conference. They are playing home vs. Texas State and LIU, definite wins. If somehow they pull an upset of Utah, which isn’t too crazy because it is in Waco 3-0 is on the table. Their road games in conference are tough vs. new comers UCF and Cincinnati. They also play Kansas State and TCU on the road. If they can split that, which is very possible that is a 5-2 record. Hmm. I am actually going over the games while writing so excuse the moments of thoughts in this blog. They do have to play Texas. I am saying 8 wins plus all day for the Baylor Bears. I can see a great season at 10-2 and I think the floor, the very bottom is 7 wins. The way the schedule lines up, the talent back, the coaching, I like Baylor this year. It is fun doing these previews and realizing who might be a surprise and Baylor will be one of those teams this year.

Put These On The Card 5/14

May 14, 2023 /

Happy Mother’s Day to all you ladies out there that had to deal with the brutal pains of child birth. Speaking of brutal pains I would like to apologize for yesterday’s “put these on the card“. That was deplorable and unacceptable credit me for pointing out my short comings and owning them. But today is a new dawn, a day day, a new life for me and I’m feeling good!!

This song is the perfect vibe for me and what took place yesterday. Not my fault, I had the right picks but the teams didn’t show up. I can’t hit my 75% goal for this week, we will next, our record being 7-11. That is so damn embarrassing. We usually give you 3 plays, but so I can get to .500 we have 4, so put these on the card.

Tampa Bay Rays ML -120 @ Yankees

This is one of the losses that shouldn’t count against me yesterday. The Rays just blew it late in the game, I had the right read of the game they just gave it away. There is no way in hell the Rays will give the series up, they will walk away from the Bronx 2-2 after today. The Rays have their second best pitcher Eflin on the mound. I feel as though he will mow down the Yankees an humble their bats. Rays big today, bounce back.

Chicago Cubs ML +108 @ Twins

The Cubs have been the surprise team in the NL Central this year. They are only 3 games back in the division and 1 in the wild card. Stroman is on the mound for the Cubs today. I know he only has a 2-3 record but his ERA is 2.28 with 44 K’s. He has gone 6 innings in 7 of his 8 starts. I just like the Cubs to win today, I think the Twins are playing above who they really are as well.

Boston Celtics ML -275 vs Sixers

The Celtics played like absolute dog shit in game 6 and still won on the road. Tatum saved their sorry asses, as he balled out in the 4th to comeback and win the game. I expect the rest of the Celtics to come out firing on all cylinders and play their best game of the series. Let be honest too, Doc Rivers always loses game sevens. The Sixers are known for being choke artists, so this is the only play here.

Jason Tatum Double Double/Celtics Win +134

A little Mother’s Day bonus prop bet for y’all today. Like I said Tatum carried the Celtics last game in the 4th quarter. If I was betting the Celtics today, which I am, I have to think he is at least getting a double double at home. It is a close out game 7 at home to go to the Eastern Conference Championship. Big time players play biggest in big moments. All of those things are Jason Tatum, this is an easy prop pick. Have a fun Mother’s Day and put these on the card.

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

May 13, 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 Knights had a good year in 2022 finishing the regular season at 9-3. They lost their last two games, the AAC Championship vs. Tulane and the Military Bowl vs. Duke. UCF was a very good team on both sides of the ball. On Offense they were ranked 31st in points per game and Defense they were 46th. The Knights were the second best team in the AAC and they showed that on the field.

Head Coach:

Coach Gus Malzahn is one of the most successful head coaches in college football. He has a National Championship under his belt as well as an SEC, and Sun Belt Championship. Malzahn also won the Bobby Bowden Coach of the Year Award in 2013. Malzahn is known to be one of the best Offensive minds in all of college football as well. In his 2 years so far at UCF he has led them to back to back 9 win seasons and at the top of the AAC. His hurry up no huddle offense has been adopted by most of major college football. What I am saying is Gus is a top ten active coach.

Key Players:

Everyone knows their can not be a college football preview without talking about the most important position. Quarterback John Rhys Plumlee is back for his senior season. Last year Plumlee threw for 2,586 yards on a 63% completion percentage with 14 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He also rushed for 856 yards and 11 more touchdowns. He split time in 4 games with QB Mikey Keene but this year it will all be up to him. Plumlee has his two leading WR from last year back. Javon Baker and Kobe Hudson combined for 1,437 yards on 95 catches with 12 touchdowns. R.J. Harvey is back in the backfield bringing his 6.7 yards per carry and 5 touchdowns from last year. Last year he split time but he will be the load carrier all yer for the Knights running game. The defense has a lot of senior leadership on it this year for UCF. Big time playmakers are back like LB Tre’mon Morris-Brash who had 52 tackles, 13 TFL and 6 sacks last season. Along with Brash 4 of the 5 leading tackles are back for the Knights. LB Jason Johnson, DE Josh Celiscar and LB Walter Yates combined last year for 234 tackles, 17.5 sacks and 17.5 TFL’s. Most of the defensive production is back for the Knights and that is a scary thought for their opponent’s.

2023 Prediction:

The Knights will be playing their first Big 12 schedule this year and that will be tough. I do think however they will go 3-0 in the non-conference with their games vs. Kent State and Villanova at home and Boise State away. I honestly think they can go 5-4 or 6-3 in conference this year and surprise some critics. UCF is 20-1 to win the division and I may take a flier on that. Most of their production on both sides of the ball are back and they have Coach Malzahn. UCF will be going to a pretty decent bowl and will be in the talk to winning the conference year one.

Put These On The Card 5/13

May 13, 2023 /

I am not really sure what happened on yesterdays “put these on the card“. The Twins gave the game away in the last inning after Sonny Gray had another dominating performance. Stupid way to lose. Then the Warriors just completely laid an egg. I guess it is the weekend that will make or break me this week.

The goal this week was to go 75% on our picks. But after and 0-3 Thursday and yesterday’s 1-2 it does not look great. On the week we are 7-8 and are fighting to just get to 50%. We are still going to fight through these hard times and go undefeated the rest of this week. I have 3 fantastic picks for you today, so have a hell of a weekend and put these on the card.

Tampa Bay Rays ML -138 @ New York Yankees

The Yankees won yesterday vs the best team in baseball and I am usually betting on them. They will not be winning back to back games vs. the Rays especially with McClanahan on the mound for Tampa Today. I love the Rays to take a 2-1 series lead today and to take the series in New York 3-1. The Yankees should be happy even taking one game out of this series.

Atlanta Braves ML + 108 @ Blue Jays

I like to live my a code of principles when it comes to betting. In the earliest edition of put these on the card I told you some of the principles. One of them is this year when the Braves are plus money no matter what take them. If they are on a huge losing streak, on the road, no matter what take the Braves plus money. I don’t go against my principles so here we go even with the Jays at home with Berrios on the mound. Hammer the Braves to find a way to win.

D.C. Defenders ML -290 vs. Arlington

The Defenders have been the best team in the XFL all year long. Yes this is a huge juicy play at -290 I know. Bet a lot to win a little but it only matters that you are right. The dual QB system for DC has been unbelievable all season and it won’t stop today in the Championship game. This is as close to a sure thing as you can get, Hammer the Defenders.
