Hello Everyone!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, has it been a while or what? Hope everyone has had a great summer and y\u2019all are ready for the best time of the year! Some people\u2019s favorite season is summer, some people\u2019s favorite season is fall, my favorite season is football. So let\u2019s get after it shall we?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what is being dubbed \u201cWeek 0\u201d of the college football season we\u2019ve got what, on the surface, looks like a real stinker of a week in terms of on-field talent. But if you look close enough, every game can look like the belle of the ball! Some folks can be hesitant to bet on the first games of the season because they want to get a look at the teams before they start throwing money around, but you know what they say, \u201cScared Money Don\u2019t Make Money\u201d so don’t be afraid to get in the game! Since it\u2019s week 0 there\u2019s only 5 FBS games on the schedule, so why not bet on all of them?

UCONN @ Fresno State (-27.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 Records: UCONN 0-0 Fresno State 3-3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 ATS Records: UCONN 0-0 Fresno State 3-3
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UCONN opted out of the season last year due to COVID, and they probably should\u2019ve opted out of previous seasons due to just being really bad at football. I want you to think about your life real quick, have you ever heard anyone say \u201cI\u2019m really excited for this UCONN football team\u201d No? Didn\u2019t think so. I know 27.5 is a lot of points to lay but sometimes you just need to not overthink things and bet against bad teams. And here at Opinions Anonymous not only do we not overthink things, we barely think at all! We\u2019re going Fresno State -27.5.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawaii @ UCLA (-17.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 Records: Hawaii 5-4 UCLA 3-4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 ATS Records: Hawaii 4-5 UCLA 4-3
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know in today\u2019s day and age people love to dive deep into the analytics of sports and try to find any gambling edge they can. And I respect and appreciate the work that folks do on that front, but sometimes you just have to throw all of that out the window and make a bet with your heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 11, 2021 former Hawaii QB Colt Brennan unfortunately passed away at the age of 37. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Colt, he was putting up video game numbers for a not very well known Hawaii team back in the mid-2000\u2019s. Due to the extreme time difference between Hawaii and my home here in Indiana, I have very fond memories of staying up until 2AM watching him throw for 500 yards and 5 TDs against the likes of Idaho and Louisiana Tech. He was just simply too much fun to be ignored. And while he may have contributed to a lot of sleepy Sunday mornings in the church pew (so did underaged drinking, but that’s a blog for another day) I couldn\u2019t help but love the guy. I mean he had the Hawaiian Islands dyed into his hair<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How do you not love this man? This bet is for you Colt. RIP. Hawaii +17.5<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UTEP @ New Mexico State (+10)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 Records: UTEP 3-5 New Mexico State 0-0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 ATS Records: UTEP 5-3 New Mexico State 0-0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll keep the write up for this one fairly simple. Both of these teams will not be very good this year, but  New Mexico State Played zero games in 2020, were you aware of that? No? Me too. New Mexico State played two games in the spring of 2021, were you aware of that? No? Me too. Let\u2019s not get into a situation where we\u2019re betting on a team that is an afterthought in college football. Also UTEP returns all 11 starters on offense and in a game like this, that might be all we need. UTEP -10<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern Utah @ San Jose State (-23.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 Records: Southern Utah 1-5 San Jose State 7-1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 ATS Records: Southern Utah N\/a San Jose State 6-1-1
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that I scoured the internet and could not find a website that had Southern Utah\u2019s against the spread record last year should tell you everything you need to know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Jose State -23.5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for, the triumphant return of Kyle\u2019s Money Shot!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Nebraska @ Illinois (+6.5)<\/strong>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 Records: Nebraska 3-5 Illinois 2-6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 ATS Records: Nebraska 4-4 Illinois 3-5
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now look, I am a self-proclaimed Scott Frost hater. I have really enjoyed watching his Nebraska teams struggle. I can\u2019t remember when my hatred of him started, oh wait, yes I can. It was during the 2018 season when he called their upcoming game against Purdue a \u201cWinnable Game\u201d and then proceeded to lose to the Boilermakers 42-28 at home<\/a>. I\u2019m not here to tell you that Purdue Football is good, in fact I pray for a 6-6 season every year. But do you really want to be the person betting on a guy that lost a \u201cWinnable Game\u201d 42-28 at home against Purdue? Take that and add in new Illinois coach Bret Bielema (You Big Ten fans may remember him from his Wisconsin coaching days) and I\u2019m going to take Illinois. Hell, I\u2019ll probably even sprinkle that Illinois moneyline. That\u2019s the lock of the week, the Money Shot. Illinois +6.5<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It felt good to get back into the blogging game everyone! It\u2019ll be fun to see where this blog takes us this season. Since we did 5 games this week, I\u2019ll try to keep that the standard for every week this year. Thanks for reading and please tweet at me or message me with any comments, criticisms, or locks you have!

Whether you are fading or following, Let\u2019s Get Rich! Love you guys!
