Rusty’s Week 0 Picks

Welcome back to another blog from the best insider in college football (plz follow me @rustyHHsports )

In case you missed my MACtion article check it out here

So first things first let’s talk about HOW to bet on football. Remember, never utilize stats, odds, closing line value etc etc YAWN.

The best way to bet on these games is to read way into storylines, use your gut, and follow random beat reporters on twitter.

So let’s get to week 0.

I’ll be playing the two major games Saturday.

Notre Dame (-21) vs Navy ; o/u @ 50.5

USC (-30.5) vs San Jose State; o/u @ 66

Notre Dame vs Navy

Starting off the college football season we go across the pond to Dublin Ireland where we have the fighting Irish up against the Naval Academy.

One question I have for you: Do you love America or not? This is pretty straight forward to me. You can either bet on America and the historic Naval Academy or bet against America by betting on “The Fighting Irish.”

I don’t know about you but I’m betting on this country.

Let’s also discuss how much Notre Dame sucked last year. They lost to Stanford and Marshall cmon. Plus they barelyyy beat Navy last year. I have 0 idea anything about the transfer portal or recruiting class additions except for ND adding Sam Hartman. He played in the garbage ass ACC last year so I can’t take his stats seriously.

I think this will be a very high scoring affair and I think Notre Dame is going to have difficulty slowing down Navy’s triple option offense. I can understand why ND is the favorite but 21 points is too much. Let’s not forget that this game is across the ocean. The massive change in time zones will always cause chaos (TBT to Nebraska vs North Western last year).

GIVE ME NAVY +21 (1.5u) , O 51.5 (1u) and sprinkle Navy ML (0.25u)

USC vs SJS

Saturday night we have the Heisman favorite Caleb Williams against San Jose State. I’m not loving the lines or the total but I do LOVVVEEE the USC team total O48.5

The picks

Navy +21 (1.5u)
Navy / ND O51.5 (1u)
Navy ML (0.25u)
USC TT O48.5 (1u)

Honorable mention: Ohio +3
