We've got staggered college college football playoff and high level NFL games to win best bets on. Let's rock.



SMU @ Penn State(-8.5)

DK -110

FD -115


The biggest determining factor in college football games is trench warfare. Kevin Jennings is an exciting QB and Brashford Smith will be on an NFL roster next year. Logan Parr and PJ Williams might get drafted on day 3 as OL prospects, and Elijah Roberts and Jonathan Jeferson are both interesting on the defensive line. It's all solid and well coached.


Penn State is brining 1st round draft picks on all three levels of the ball. Abdul Carter is a game wrecker off the edge and will likely be the best player on defense to whichever team drafts him in the top 10. Tyler Warren was a worthy Mackey Winner that is impossible to cover. Kevin Winston Jr, Kobe King, Dan Dennis-Sutton, Zane Durant, and Jayden Reed are all awesome playmakers on defense. The OLine is not as good as last year, but it's hard to top two tackles taken in the first 100 or so picks. It will come down to Allar flashing that arm talent and accuracy he did against Oregon and that should be fine against what's a frankly easy defense compared to what he's faced in the B1G. I love Penn State in what is a true weight class game in the playoff. Nittany Lions all day.



Houston @ Kansas City Chiefs UNDER 42.5

DK -110

FD -105


Circling over to the pro side of things, this game is the Spider-Man meme. If I was describing a team that features a struggling by their standards QB due to unreliable run game, pass catcher and abysmal OLine play that has been carried by dominant front 7 play, with 2 players in particular playing All-Pro ball, with said front covering up a leaky secondary aside from their potential All-Pro corner, it could be either KCX ort Houston. It's the same team except the Chiefs are a much cleaner operation on offense that rarely goes backwards on plays even when struggling. I think we see who the true king of the rock fight is, and that means we get some sicko football with a score in the teens. Love the under here.



Clemson @ Texas(-13.0)

DK -110

FD -105



While Clemson did jump all over SMU in the ACC title game, they were missing a 56 yard kick at the buzzer away from losing in overtime to team that was out of their depth for a half of football. Aside from SMU, they got throttled one way or another by all of the decent teams they played. Georgia and Louisville dominated the Tigers from start to finish while South Carolina absolutely smothered their Palmetto State rivals.


Texas' only losses are to Georgia so I'm not particularly concerned about the Longhorns taking care of business. Their defense is awesome. They should be able to win the trench battle with Kelvin Banks returning to a great OLine to begin with. Ewers just has to manage the game or Sark has to unleash Arch Manning for the playoff. Either way Texas should smother Clemson and clean this game up.


Pittsburgh Steelers(+7.0) @ Baltimore Ravens

DK -115

FD -120


Tomlin is a dog. System bet. Especially against a Lamar Jackson who has never once beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. TJ Watt is playing too. Renegade travels.



Tennessee(ML) @ Ohio State

DK +235

FD +220


I love the Vols here. The reason why is trench warfare. Zen Michalski, Seth McLaughlin, and Josh Simmons are all out and have been out and that has severely hampered a Buckeye offense that should be much better than it has been. Will Howard has not lived up to his NIL price tag and Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith are sort of being wasted with Howard as the signal caller.


The Vols are packing serious artilley in the trenches. James Pearce Jr. leads a group of sickos up front. He has 7.5 sacks on the season and his running mates on the interior Omarr Norman-Lott and Dominic Bailey are incredibly disruptive in rush and pass defense. FLip over to the offensive side of the ball and Interior OL Cooper Mays and Javontez Spraggins are heading to the NFL and have been paving the way for Dylan Sampson all season. All Nico Iamaleava has to do is take care of the ball and the defense and running game will carry the Vols to victory.
