Here it is folks.  The first official slate of picks for the college football season.  We have waited and waited for this moment.  Week zero is here.  Is the slate good? No.  Does that matter at all? Not even a little.  The vibes should be on for this year.  In my home, I have a blackboard that my roommates and I write our picks on.  A few years ago, I took a trip to Israel.  While there, I acquired some anointing oil for god knows what reason.  I had not used it until a few days ago when I anointed the gambling blackboard.  These picks are officially endorsed by Jesus, Alaha, whoever you believe in.  We will not lose.

There are three games of importance: Nebraska @ Illinois.  Hawaii @ UCLA.  And UCONN @ Fresno State.  I have four bets amongst these three games, three being game picks and one being a total.  I am going to use the term “teaser” here.  A teaser is when you pick two bets and swing the spread or total 6 points in either direction.  With that said we will get into it.

First is the Nebraska Illinois game.  Nebraska is a 7.5 point favorite, and the total is 55.  I am teasing Nebraska and the under here.  So my bet is Nebraska -1.5 and under 61.  Both need to hit for me to win the bet.  Nebraska is too good to lose this game.  Illinois has brought in Bret Bielema, who I do like.  However, he is not a coach that can transform the program in one season.  Adrian Martinez is a good veteran QB for Big Red and should take care of the ball in this game.  The run game for both teams is strong and that is why I love the under.  

Next, I am teasing UCLA and Fresno State.  UCLA goes down to -11.5 and Fresno State goes down to -21.5.  These are not great numbers for teasers, usually, you would want 20.5 and 9.5, however, I still like this.  UCLA is going to be really fun this year.  Kickoff is at 12:30, which is 9:30 Hawaii time.  My only worry is that UCLA might be looking ahead to the game against LSU next week, but I think this team is too good and Hawaii will fold late.  Lastly Fresno State.  UCONN is trash.  So bad.  Fresno is a team that I think can surprise in the Mountain West.  They had the number 5 passing offense in the country.  With a lot of returning firepower on defense, the Bulldogs should roll over the Huskies.

Official picks: Nebraska and Neb/Ill under teased, UCLA and Fresno St teased. Positive vibes only.
