College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Friday, September 5 (Week 2)
We had a huge weekend of college football to open the 2025 season over Labor Day. Most of the big games were good games. We had a few upsets. We saw a couple of FCS schools collect scalps. Tarleton State knocked off Army in double overtime. Austin Peay beat Middle Tennessee State by 20 points. […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Late Saturday Slate (8/30/25)
I love these late slates, especially early in the season. We see some very interesting matchups on these slates at this time of year. It makes me nostalgic for the old Pac-12 after dark. It will kind of be back next year, but it will never be the same. Who's burning the midnight oil with […]
DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Evening Slate (8/30/25)
We're not done yet! There are a lot of good games in prime time as well. LSU and Clemson highlight this slate, but we have some other high-powered offenses in action. Freshman phenom Bryce Underwood is on here, as is former top recruit Malachi Nelson. Are either one of them worth using? We'll get into […]
DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Main Slate (8/30/25)
We have a dozen games on the Saturday main slate on DraftKings, and boy, do we have some monsters! Ohio State and Texas highlight this slate, but the undercard matchups between Tennessee and Syracuse and Alabama and Florida State aren't bad either. Add in the Misery Bowl between Temple and UMass to go with an […]
10 College Football Bold Predictions for 2025: LSU, Baylor, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, UTSA, UTEP, more
Farmageddon just passed. We waited for that moment through eight long months of baseball (even though it was my first love), flopping, more flopping, the NCAA Tournament, the WNBA season, and two months of NBA playoffs. It's refreshing to get back to the best sport of all. I do make some bold(ish) predictions from time […]

The college football season is only a couple of dozen games old, and we have already seen some crazy things. I'm here for it! With so many marquee matchups going on in Week 1, there promises to be many more good finishes. There are 63 games over the next three days, but only 29 of […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Friday Slate (8/29/25)
The greatest weekend in college football rolls on with another packed Friday slate. There are some intriguing matchups in these seven games, but there aren't as many good defenses as on last night's slate. We should see some higher scores out there. Unlike last night's slate, all seven games are included in the main slate. […]
DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Thursday Slate (8/28/25)
We have waited over eight months for this! We have a total of 91 games over the next five days. I do wish there were more on Sunday and Monday, but I will take what I can get. That means a whole lot of teams making DFS tournaments who usually aren't in these. Sometimes you have […]
College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Thursday, Friday Slates (Week 1)
Last weekend was the appetizer. Thursday and Friday are the soup and salad leading up to Saturday's 25-plate main course. We finish with dessert on Sunday and coffee on Monday. Labor Day weekend is such a blast without the NFL getting in the way! There are 28 games over the next two days, but only […]

College Football Betting Picks: Futures Predictions Include Win Totals, Conference Champions, and CFP Odds (2025)
I don't usually get too involved with college football futures bets, but the massive realignment that happened just over a year ago offers a chance to make some serious coin if you know where to look. With unbalanced conference schedules come chances to catch people sleeping on certain teams. For example, Virginia doesn't play a […]
