Tracking college football picks and predictions for YOU
I decided to get off my rear end and post something for March Madness. Here are Chris Fallica’s “Bear Bets” from his new post at Fox Sports, which are described as “real wagers that Chris “The Bear” Fallica is actually making“. Check out the full thing below fore all the analysis.
Chris Fallica’s Bear Bets:
Creighton-10 vs Princeton
Houston-7 vs Miami
FAU+5.5 vs Tennessee
Michigan State-2 vs Kansas State
Texas-4 vs Xavier
Chris “The Bear” Fallica has released his first gambling column on Fox Sports entitled “Bear Bets”. This first edition is for the Super Bowl, and he says every one of his “Bear Bets” are actual wagers he will be placing (if that matters to you). I’m looking forward to this new chapter in the Bear’s career and can’t wait to see where it goes next college season.
The article he posted below has his full analysis on each pick so be sure to check it out.
Chris Fallica’s “Bear Bets” picks:
First score to be a TD
First turnover is an INT
George Karlaftis most sacks (+1300)
Total players to have pass attempt: Over 2.5 (+160)
Isiah Pacheco Under 11.5 rush attempts and Under 49.5 rushing yards
Patrick Mahomes Over 18.5 rushing yards and Over 38.5 pass attempts
Kansas City Over 2.5 sacks
Chiefs+110 over Eagles
After a few delays due to some significant technical problems, we have finalized the grades for our 2022-23 college football season.
For the college football analysts making straight up picks (not against the spread), this year’s champion is none other than the famous sportswriter Tom Fornelli. He went 229-88 with a win percentage of 72.24 and a GDC value of 118.201.
For our college football gambling picks against the spread, this year’s champion is none other than the world famous Chris Fallica AKA the Bear. The Bear had a fantastic season profiting 17.91 units with a win percentage of 60.91 against the spread.
For our money line gambling picks, there was a single gambler who was head and shoulders above the field. Danny Kanell had a tough season against the spread, but his money line sprinkles on the Cover 3 podcast were huge. He profited 11.67 units on 46 money line picks.
Congratulations to Tom Fornelli, Chris Fallica and Danny Kanell on their impressive performances this season and look for the congratulatory GamedayCole fruit basket which is on the way.
