Last Monday night in Tallahassee, Florida State created four turnovers and still didn\u2019t cover as a 3-point underdog. The Seminoles lost 27-24 to SMU, so it\u2019s a push for this column but hopefully a win for any of you that were able to grab +3.5 closer to kickoff. Boy, did it feel good to sweat football bets again. We know you\u2019re here for informed wagers and I assure you I vet everything through multiple handicappers, oddsmakers and betting buddies who know what they\u2019re doing. Those that do well in this racket know the “How, what and why,” and that\u2019s always my goal. Also, this will never be the place for a million picks or five-team parlays. These will always be the wagers I love the most and ones that I\u2019m betting with my own money. Let\u2019s go to work.

So, why are you betting them Well, they moved the ball surprisingly well against an SEC defense \u2014 396 yards ain\u2019t too shabby. Life will be a lot easier against Navy, a program that doesn\u2019t sniff the type of athleticism and speed that Florida brought to the table. I like veteran FAU quarterback Caden Veltkamp a ton and think the Owls are ripe to pull an upset at home. My love for this year\u2019s Minnesota team is well-documented. I enjoy betting on teams that return their starting head coach, both coordinators and starting quarterback. And oh, by the way, they return Anthony Smith, the guy who led the Big Ten in sacks last year. Miss State quarterback Kamario Taylor wowed last week against Louisiana-Monroe with 354 yards and four touchdowns, but now he has to face a real defense, headlined by Smith. After bulldozing East Carolina last weekend, Alabama heads to Lexington for a very early SEC tilt. It\u2019s the first collegiate road start for freshman quarterback Keelon Russell, who improvised a ton against the Pirates to the tune of 6.6 yards per rush. I\u2019m sorry, but that\u2019s not gonna happen against Kentucky. If the Wildcats can limit Russell\u2019s escapability and keep him in the pocket, they\u2019ll have every chance to hang inside this big number. I hope my bosses at FOX Chicago aren\u2019t reading this. Simply put, the Bears are one of the most overvalued teams in the betting market. Their prices to win the conference and Super Bowl are insane given all the question marks on the defensive side of the ball. There\u2019s a lot to like about the Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams partnership, but this line is too fishy. I\u2019ll take Carolina off a playoff berth, catching a full field goal in its home opener. Speaking of overvalued, meet the Green Bay Packers. Defensive superstar Micah Parsons isn\u2019t walking through that door for weeks, and I\u2019ve never been a big Jordan Love believer. Meanwhile, Minnesota brings back most pieces from a top-10 defense and now Kyler Murray is orchestrating the offense with a loaded receiver room and a veteran backfield. People forget the Vikings won nine games last year. And now they have a quarterback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
