Tua has decided that because it's a personal choice to wear a guardian cap, he will not because its a personal choice. He's got to be there for his team by not looking like a fricking dork and getting his brains scrambled like a man.
Good sorning. Hope everyone has been doing well. I'm back in the positive gambling wise, so it was a good week! At a net positive of 156 dramacoins and 107 games, that's a net positive of over 1.45 dramacoins per game! Who said gambling doesn't pay?
No byes this week so 16 games- TNF as usual, 8 Sunday early games, 5 afternoon games, 1 primetime Sunday game, and 1 lonely MNF game. I will go on the record as saying I don't dislike having 2 Monday night games because of the increased chances of one being good. I do not miss games in European time zones that are too darn early.
@BasicallyAMonster will have the college games
Finally for those keeping track, here's a excel spreadsheet I've been using to track gambling wins/losses. Column A has the winner of their matchup (listed in the same order I list them for this thread, B is the gross Payout , C needs to be filled with a 1 if you won that bet, and a 0 if you lost. So it will be easy to track your weekly and seasonal gains/losses. Prior threads: week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, week 6, week 7

LSU - 1,200 total betted
Texas A and M - 800 total betted - WINNER!
Who would've thought that after both of these teams lost during week 1, that they would stay standing as the two only remaining undefeated SEC teams left in the conference. The Aggies took care of business on the road against Mississippi State, while the Tigers routed Arkansas on the road. Both of these teams have been improving since their first losses. LSU's Garrett Nussmeier is a big threat to this Aggie secondary. Their team as a whole passes the ball much more than they do running it. Their defense has also been improving week by week, and now is an elite defensive squad. The Aggies also have an elite defense, and will look to pressure Nussmeier to make him make decisions quicker on the spot and try to force turnovers. This is going to be an electric game. A night game at Kyle Field, with the winner resulting in the sole remaining undefeated team in the Southeastern Conference is massive. I may even go as far as to say that this game will massively change both teams' trajectory for the rest of the season. Will be nerve-racking for both sides and will be an absolutely insane game to watch.

Boise State - 1,600 total betted - WINNER!
UNLV - 400 total betted
What an instant classic right here. Ashton Jeanty travels to Vegas to play a very hot UNLV team that only has gotten better after the whole Sluka incident. These two teams are playing great football right now, and is going to be a very good game and a very fun matchup. This is Boise States' hardest remaining game on their schedule, and as such, is going to be a huge game this weekend. Jeanty has a big opportunity to put up more wild numbers and further solidify his Heisman frontrunning campaign. UNLV will need its defensive line to step up. Containing Ashton Jeanty is your key to this game. Force the Broncos to throw. Unfortunately, Madsen is a good QB and can also throw the ball well, so it may be difficult to completely stop the Boise offense, but you need to scheme plays defensively to dial pressure for the Broncos to have a competitive game.

Missouri - 400 total betted
Alabama - 1,400 total betted - WINNER!
Welcome back to reality Bama. After spending an eternity with the greatest college football coach of all time, it is time for DeBoer to really make some adjustments. After last week, Jalen Milroe's draft stock tanked faster than the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It is wild that this is the same team that beat UGA convincingly, but proceeds to drop games to Vanderbilt and now Tennessee. Alabama will now need to win out the rest of their games to be in the conversation for a CFP Berth, which they still can, but they would need to make serious changes. On the other hand, the Missouri fan base can finally shut up about putting in Drew Pyne. Had Pyne stayed in the full game, Missouri would've lost against Auburn. Cook may not be Lamar Jackson, but he clearly is Mizzou's go-to guy, and gives them the best chance of winning. They now have a chance to put on a signature win against Alabama this upcoming week.

Notre Dame - 1,400 total betted - WINNER!
Navy - 600 total betted
Navy pretty much stomped Charlotte last week. Really wasn't close like at all. Now, they play at a neutral site against Notre Dame. Notre Dame has its work cut out for them. While Riley Leonard has continued to improve, losing probably the best corner in the country in Benjamin Morrison is a huge loss to the program. With already a puzzling loss to NIU, ND needs to win this one to remain in playoff conversations. Navy is no slack. QB Blake Horvath is a dynamic passer, who can also run the ball if he needs to. They have not played against a defense as good as Notre Dame, but this is their biggest test and they have an opportunity to hand an upset to the Irish this weekend.

Illinois - 200 total betted
Oregon - 1,600 total betted - WINNER!
21.5 line Oregon is rat poison. Even though Illinois only had 267 total yards of offense against Michigan last week, they still managed to outscore Michigan 21-7 to win the game. Oregon is coming off of a murdering of Purdue, and is looking to defend their #1 ranking. The Illini will be doing everything they can to slow down Gabriel and that stellar receiving group. One thing to note, is that Oregon's offensive line has been really good. They played very well against Ohio State and Purdue, and is a group that's been constantly improving. When you combine that with a receiving team and QB combo, Oregon becomes a monster and almost impossible to stop. Illinois may need Altmyer to make a lot of plays this week.

Penn State - 1,400 total betted - WINNER!
Wisconsin - 200 total betted
5-2, 3-1 conference play Wisconsin hosts a dangerous Penn State football team after an easy week for both teams. Wisconsin cruised over Northwestern, and Penn State defeated defending national champions Bye Week. After a very close call against USC, you can't rule this game as an easy game for the Nittany Lions. Allar has been improving, and their defense is still solid, but questionable decisions and not being able to capitalize on plays plagued them during their USC game. Would be interesting to see how Franklin makes adjustments to his team, and how Fickell plans to attack this Penn State squad.

Texas - 1,600 total betted - WINNER!
Vanderbilt - 600 total betted
The only logical conclusion of this outcome is that Texas overlooked lil ole' Georgia while preparing for SEC RANKED POWERHOUSE VANDY. In all seriousness, Texas is still a dominant team, and still in the front seat for both the SEC title game and CFB Playoffs. However, their path just got much more difficult. After dropping a shocker against UGA last week, they now will have to travel to a fiery hot Vanderbilt team that already beat the team that beat Georgia. Can Vandy pull off ANOTHER upset? Or will Texas put an end to Vandy's historical run? Tune in next week to find out!

BYU - 1,200 total betted - WINNER!
UCF - 400 total betted
UCF gave a big scare against undefeated Iowa State last week. UCF actually had the win until Iowa State pulled ahead with seconds to go in the 4th quarter. It was a pretty good game by UCF on both sides who has struggled mightily beforehand. Now, they host another powerhouse team in BYU, who also came off of a scare last week as they barely beat Oklahoma State. This should be a good game between both teams that showed opposite signs of play after a hectic week.

Cincinnati - 400 total betted
Colorado - 1,400 total betted - WINNER!
Why these two teams are still flying under the radar is beyond me. Colorado came out from an impressive win against Arizona, and now stands at 5-2 overall and 3-1 in conference play. Even on a day where Travis Hunter didn't do much (considering he likely is still dealing with his injury to an extent), they still managed to pull off a win. This is a squad that is still improving. Their opponent this week, Cincinnati, is also 5-2 and 3-1 in conference play. The Bearcats' defense is stellar (besides that Texas Tech game), and has been able to pressure their opponents' QB and contain the run decently well. Hopefully after this week, one of these teams will gain more respect as I think they are both underrated at the moment.

Washington - 200 total betted
Indiana - 1,200 total betted - WINNER!
WINDIANA continues to play some diabolical Cignetti football. This dude took a Tom Allen terrorist team and turned it into, in my opinion, one of the best college football teams currently so far this season. The difference is night and day. However, this game just got a lot more interesting with the announcement of Kurtis Rourke's injury. While Indiana does have a strong run game, Rourke's passing threat was the main force of their high tempo offense, and it will be very interesting to watch them play against a very bipolar Washington team. This should be a good one. Luckily for Indiana, Rourke's injury is not season ending, but it does pose questions as Indiana is entering the toughest part of their schedule.

Nebraska - 400 total betted
Ohio State - 1,400 total betted - WINNER!
College football should implement the Matt Run-Rhule after that Indiana game. What statistically was a very good defense up until then got annihilated by Kurtis Rourke. Raiola showed his inexperience last week, throwing for 0 touchdowns and 3 picks. Not to pick on him for doing so, as he just needs to play more to get that experience, but it doesn't get any easier from here, as they travel to play an angry Ohio State team coming off of a bye week after narrowly losing to Oregon.

Syracuse - 600 total betted
Pittsburgh - 1,400 total betted - WINNER!
Now THIS is going to be an interesting game. The Orange football team is a good team this year, coming from a well rested bye week as they head down to play UNDEFEATED PITT. Eli Holstein needs to step up his game. Idk what bro was doing last week, completing 50% of his passes with no touchdowns and 2 picks, but if Pitt wants to stay undefeated, they need to clean up the QB play. Syracuse is no slouch, and this is not going to be easy if Pitt continues to make dumb mistakes that they shouldn't be making.

Michigan - 1,200 total betted - WINNER!
ATTENTION! ANOTHER IN-STATE RIVALRY GAME! Michigan State looked pretty darn good in their game against Iowa last week. However, I cannot say the same about Michigan, who dropped a pitiful game to Illinois. Michigan is big braining football right now, as they are going full on imitating playing in 1905, since the forward pass was only first legally introduced in football in 1906.

LET THE RECORDS SHOW THAT NOBODY BEATS DUKE MORE THAN 23 TIMES INA ROW. For the first time in program history, the Blue Devils defeated the Seminoles in a defensive slugfest. Manny Diaz's first year tenure is looking better and better every week. Now standing at 6-1 overall and 2-1 in conference play, Duke will now host ACC powerhouse SMU, who handed Stanford an absolute beatdown last week. Will be interesting to see how Duke plans on stopping Kevin Jennings and that receiving core.

In-state rivalries are never easy. There's all sorts of crazy tomfoolery that can happen in these games. This is solely the reason why this game could get interesting. On paper, the Wildcats pretty much stomps the Jayhawks in every single category. However, you just cannot count out a rivalry game that could end up being much more interesting than anticipated.
