Futures
Been a SOLID start to the year. Let’s hope we don’t choke. Some that are looking SPICY…….
MAC Championship – Toledo (+330), W Michigan (+1200)
AAC Championship – Houston (+1300), SMU (+2800); Good enough to have a longshot chance of taking down Cincy if it comes to that, yo.
National Championship – Georgia (+880)……They don’t look too bad. Two straight shutouts.
Heisman – Matt Corral (+3450) took a hit but ROLL TIDE is really good. HEDGE CLUB MEMBERS were happy to get an alert on Friday to get down on some SWEET BRYCE YOUNG ACTION (+250). Feels like a two-horse race but you never know.
Mountain West – Took slices on Wyoming (+1000), Nevada (+450), SD St (+1600)….Boise St continues to look mediocre. Let’s do ittttttttttttt.
