2025 NCAA Football

I don't post a lot of plays but thought I'd do a thread of my 2025 college football plays for the year. Might as well make my first play on the first game of the season. Coach Campbell and Iowa State have been very successful vs Kansas State as of late. Also, 4 of the last five games played in Ireland have been very competitive, decided by 3 points. Going to go Iowa State +3 -115  for 1 unit. 

Only play so far has been Iowa State. Currently 1-0 on the year. Going with one play tonight.  Taking Auburn -1. These 2 teams a pretty evenly matched but Hugh Freeze is coaching for his life right now. He can't afford to drop this game. Aranda is a great coach but this is year 3 for Freeze and a loss here isn't an option. 

A loss is always an option..

 And this is the reason I don't typically post picks on here....

Auburn picks up the win to move me to 2-0 on the year. I'm going with one early game today. Mississippi State goes to Southern Miss for an 11 am kickoff. Both teams were downright awful last year. Southern miss brings in a successful new coach and a nearly new roster. Everything went wrong for Mississippi State last year after their QB Shapen was lost for the season. However, he is back this year and Jeff Lebby has drastically improved the O and D lines. Mississippi States offense should find its rhythm and if the defense gets a few stops, the Bulldogs should put them away in the 2nd half. Taking Mississippi State -14.

Mississippi State gets it done. Move to 3-0 on the year. Looking at 1 or 2 more plays later this evening. I'll post those picks a little closer to game time. Good luck to everyone. 

This is probably the last play for today. Taking Clemson -4.5. This comes down to Clemson at home doesn't lose very often and Brian Kelly can't seem to win a season opener. I think it's a close game but I think Clemson by a touchdown in the end.

what a great start!! ??

Going with one final play tonight. Been watching this line all day. I have no idea how well Utah might play tonight but UCLA with their new QB at +6.5 is a play I'm willing to make.

Currently have a 3-2 record. Clemson and UCLA let me down after a 3-0 start. Starting with an early game today. Iowa and Iowa State is historically a low scoring slugfest. Looking back over the last 6 meetings between these 2 teams the scores look like a battle between two military schools. I'm taking under 43 at -110.

For my midday play today we're looking at west Virginia at Ohio. I'm not necessarily a West Virginia fan, but I am excited to see Rich Rod back in charge. He had a good run at Jacksonville State prior to this. Last week Ohio allowed Rutgers 2 running backs to average over 6 yards per carry. I expect WV spread option to have plenty of success running the ball. I'll take WV -3.

Great start to the day. We get the under on the Iowa vs Iowa State game. Record is 4-2 with the west Virginia game pending this afternoon. Good luck to everyone. 

West Virginia loses to drop my record to 4-3 on the season. Good luck to everyone on NFL week 1.

Clemson has beat Georgia Tech 9 straight times. They looked awful last week against Troy but expect them to bounce back this week. Taking Clemson -2.5.

And Georgia has beaten Tenn 8 straight 

1 of those streaks if not both will be broken today 

@JFelty

 I think you are 100% right. I like the Vols at home this afternoon. 

Currently sitting at 4-4 on the season. I actually like several games today. I'm taking Utah at -3. Going with the better defense in this early game. One other early game is the SMU vs TCU game. I would not be surprised to see SMU win this outright. Taking SMU +7. To start the afternoon slate of games I'm going with North Carolina +7 vs UCF. Just don't trust Scott Frost laying a full TD. This is another game that I feel like the dog may win outright.

I've locked in two more plays. Another early game we have arkansas visiting Memphis. If the Hogs offense is clicking they should roll. Their defense isn't great but I think they easily cover the -7.  This evening we have Illinois at Indiana. The last time these two played they combined for 93 points. I'm hoping for another shootout today. Going with the total over 52.5. Good luck to everyone today.

Currently got a 5-8 record on my posted plays. This week I really don't like a lot of games so I'm going with a nearly zero strategy approach today. I'm going with 8 different home dogs ATS. We're going with Pitt +3.5, Wake +14, Syracuse +4, Illinois +7, West Virginia +12.5, Iowa +8.5, Buffalo +3.5, and Florida Atlantic +14. I'll definitely place a wager on the Bama Georgia and Oregon Penn St games, but I'll post those later. BOL to everyone today.
