Recap
A look back at yesterdayβs Picks
Hello, Gamblers Gazette faithful! As we wind down and recalibrate from the previous week's matchups, here's a little breakdown of our journey.
Last Sunday, our NFL radar had us land at a 7-8 record, nudging our overall total to 55-62. While the outcomes weren't entirely in our favor, the beauty of sports betting is in its unpredictability and the promise of a new game day. Armed with analysis, gut feelings, and a penchant for those nail-biting finishes, we're upbeat and raring to tackle the matchups this week offers.
The MLB postseason put a pause button on our regular baseball predictions, but fret not. The icy allure of NHL is back, and the courts are being prepped for the NBA season! This means the Gambler's Gazette is expanding its horizon and will now be a daily edition, brimming with insights, stats, and of course, our predictions.
Moreover, if you're a fan of in-depth discussions, banter, and the thrills of weekend sports, don't forget to tune into our weekly podcast. Join me and my spirited co-host, Frank, as we dissect, debate, and lay down our picks for the weekend slate.
Stay informed, stay excited, and as always, may the odds be ever in your favor! πππποΈ

College Football
College Football picks for Friday, October 13th
πFresno State vs Utah State: Over 55.5: Brace yourselves for what promises to be an exhilarating clash between Fresno State and Utah State. While the bookmakers suggest a tight affair with a mere 5.5 point difference, we're placing our bets away from the scoreboard's final tallies. Our spotlight is on the OVER. With both teams boasting dynamic offenses, the expectation is a high-flying, back-and-forth affair where touchdowns could come early and often. Forget alliances for this one; every drive, every possession matters. So, regardless of which side you usually cheer for, this time around, it's all about cheering for the team holding the ball. Let's see that scoreboard ticking! ππ₯π
πColorado -12.5: The spotlight this week is on the Colorado team, and they're not showing any signs of dimming. Hosting the less formidable Stanford side, we're anticipating a showcase of sheer brilliance from the Buffaloes. Having endured a brutal stretch against top 10 team in the prior weeks, Colorado is on the verge of a resurgence. They are prepped, poised, and itching to dominate. Lay those points with confidence and anticipate a Colorado masterclass. This is prime time, and Colorado seems more than ready to rise to the occasion. Anticipate an adrenaline-packed encounter as the Buffaloes stampede! πποΈπ
πColorado vs. Stanford Over 58.5: All eyes on Colorado once again! If their swag wasn't enough in the straight-up matchup, they're looking even more compelling when it comes to the point total. Given the momentum Colorado is carrying and their pent-up offensive firepower, this game has all the ingredients to be a high-scoring affair. While we've highlighted the Buffaloes' potential to possibly touch the 60-point mark singlehandedly, even a modest contribution from Stanford could easily push this game over the total. With both teams eager to showcase their offensive capabilities, we're predicting a scoreboard bonanza. Brace yourselves for an exhilarating, end-to-end shootout, and don't be surprised if they blow past the over even before the final whistle! πππ₯

Longshot pick for Friday, October 13th
Reminder for our readers: Our longshot picks are just that β longshots. They come with higher odds and inherently higher risk. The intention is to offer a play with big payout potential, but always remember to bet responsibly and within your means.
Exact Score: Washington Capitals 2 - 1 Pittsburgh Penguins
