Boy oh boy does it feel good to be back! College Football in Week Zero is a smaller slate, but there are still a couple of games that I like. Here are my plays for College Football Week Zero! We are BACK!
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from Fanatics, BetMGM, FanDuel, and DraftKings.
Straights
TCU -7.5 (-125)
I just don’t think I trust UNC to keep this within nine points. The weather conditions could make this game super sweaty,  but I think I see TCU winning this game by 10+ points more often than I do UNC keeping it close. 
Hawaii +4 (-115)
I like for Hawai’i to keep this game within a field goal. I really love this number at 6.5 or 5.5 points, but movement in the off-season has moved it down all the way to four. One thing I am a bit nervous about is the running game for Stanford, but I do think Hawaii will be able to keep it close.
Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day
The first Nasty Boy of the season. If you are new, we are looking for odds of +900 or higher with four legs. After getting shutout in College last year, we are coming back with a vengeance.
I was able to get odds of +866 boosted to +1300 with a 50% boost:
- TCU- UNC under 47.5 (-115)
- Virginia-NC State under 54.5 (-140)
- North Dakota State -3.5 (-120)
- UNLV -2.5 (-155)
Let’s have a DAY! PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY!
