HELLO my young brother and sister in arms! I don’t know about you but last week was a hitter for your boy…sweated out the -1.5 Florida State Seminoles in OT against Clemson in Death Valley, smacked the -7 Crimson Tide in T-town, and capped the weekend off in a parlay with Notre Dame covering the 3.5 and the UNDER 55…what a game!

👇

That said! The wood has been knocked on as we look forward to another action-packed weekend of college football…and some NFL games that require our attention. Can you guess who we lost some value on for an anytime touchdown scorer after last weekend? Below are the best bets and games to watch this weekend in my humble opinion.
