Posted on by gamedaycole

Stanford Steve and the Bear Chris Fallica are easing back into the season with a little season preview containing season totals for the ACC, Big 12 and SEC.

As always, if you are looking to invest in these predictions you need to listen to the podcast yourself.

Chris “The Bear’ Fallica:
Boston College over 4
Syracuse Under 6, lean under 5
Baylor under 6
Kansas under 2.5
Iowa State at +900 or +1000 to win the Big 12
