Huge Slate of Games Today

(For the purpose of this blog, all references to betting are purely recreational and every individual should monitor their betting practices closely. Nobody needs to get in over their head.)

With college football season officially underway, there are a full schedule of games today for PPD to handicap for The Dip. While he'll be on the road today travelling to our Fantasy Football Draft (more on this later), he gives a list of games to check out at The Pride and The Pagentry.

PPD gives us this six-pick as his picks of the week:

1. East Carolina +27.5 (at Virginia Tech)
2. Virginia -4.5 (at Wyoming)
3. Georgia Tech +1.5 (at Notre Dame)
4. Oklahoma State +6.5 (at Georgia)
5. Auburn -13.5 (hosting Kansas State)
6. Cal -5.5 (hosting Tennessee)

Two of my recreational betting rules are 1)Don't take road favorites and 2)Don't bet against emotion.

The Saints crushed a touchdown-favorite Atlanta Falcons squad on the Monday Night opener at The Superdome in New Orleans. There's a list of 100 home teams that pulled off upsets. Its even harder on college kids as the home crowds are much more intense and home field advantage becomes a bigger factor in games.

We decided to back Derek with $15.00 bets on Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State, Auburn.
