College Football Betting Picks for Week One (9/4/2021)

What a whirlwind weekend to start off college football.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Logan Allen allowed three runs (two earned) across 6 2/3 innings pitched while striking out three in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Kansas City Royals.

Viktor Hovland Worth A Look At Tour Championship

Viktor Hovland put up a respectable T17 finish last week at the BMW, and the reason for that, his greens in regulation percentage. Hovland hit 75% of greens last week, something he had not done since the WGC-Workday at The Concession in February. Hovland also putted better last week than he had in his previous […]
