Recap
A look back at yesterday’s Picks 

In the last edition of the Gambler's Gazette, we experienced a tough day at the plate, going 1-3, which brings our total record to a challenging 42-48.

But, as one door closes, another opens: we're eagerly awaiting the tip-off and puck drop of the NBA and NHL seasons, respectively. This transition promises a fresh slate and opportunities to analyze and bet on some thrilling matchups. For now, we're gearing up for the weekend and setting our sights on football. Strap in; it's going to be an exhilarating ride! 🏈🏒🏀🚀

College Football
College Football picks for Saturday, October 7th

Notre Dame -6.5: The Fighting Irish, led by Sam Hartman, are on a roll this year. Coming off a significant win against No. 17 Duke, the momentum is on their side. I expect them to continue their dominant performances and cover the spread this week.

Colorado -4: After a commendable performance against USC, falling short by just a touchdown, Colorado is geared up. Having faced powerhouses like Oregon and USC consecutively, they've garnered invaluable experience. I anticipate they'll harness that knowledge and have an upper hand against a less formidable Arizona State. Expect Colorado to cover the spread comfortably.

UNC -9.5: Facing a Syracuse team that hasn't been truly tested much this season, UNC stands in a dominant position. Despite Syracuse's initial unbeaten streak, they faced a real challenge against a not-so-in-form Clemson and couldn't hold their ground. Today, with UNC on the other side of the field, we can expect a similar outcome. Bet on UNC to cover the spread with ease.

Kentucky +14.5: Kentucky's consistent gameplay this season sets them up as a formidable opponent against Georgia. With a robust running game and a solid defense, the Wildcats have what it takes to challenge even the toughest teams. While a win against the Bulldogs might be a tall order, expect Kentucky to keep things competitive and stay within the spread. Bet on the Wildcats to keep this one closer than many anticipate.

Texas -5: Texas is on a roll this season, showcasing the caliber of a potential national championship contender. With their impressive form, I believe they have what it takes to dominate on the field. The recent showing from Oklahoma against Connecticut proved that they can be stifled by strong defenses, and Texas has the defensive prowess to do just that. Look for Texas to assert its dominance and cover the spread this weekend.

Over 61 (Texas vs. Oklahoma): Prepare for fireworks when Texas and Oklahoma face off! Both teams have demonstrated explosive offensive capabilities this season, and their match-up promises an offensive showdown. The combined total of 61 might seem high, but considering the firepower these teams bring to the field, it wouldn't be surprising to see them surpass it with ease. Buckle up and expect a points fest in this one!

LSU -4: The Tigers showed promising signs last week against Mississippi, hinting at a team coming into its own under the guidance of Brian Kelly. As Coach Kelly continues to familiarize himself with the strengths and dynamics of this LSU squad, there's a clear upward trajectory. Today, we anticipate that LSU will find its rhythm and execute on both sides of the ball, comfortably covering the 4-point spread.

Oregon State -9: The Beavers have showcased a high-caliber performance throughout this season, consistently outpacing their competition. Week after week, their dynamic gameplay has fans and analysts alike expecting them to win by considerable margins. With a spread of just 9 points for today's matchup, our confidence is sky-high for Oregon State to cover and continue their impressive run. Keep an eye on them, as this team is set to make some major waves today and throughout the season!

Over 51 Oregon State vs California: We're gearing up for a scoreboard frenzy in this matchup! Oregon State, as highlighted earlier, packs a punch offensively, which we've seen time and time again this season. On the other side, California hasn't been shy in racking up the points against their competitors. Given the offensive capabilities of both teams, we predict the total points will surpass the set 51-point benchmark. Buckle up because this game promises fireworks from both sides!

Washington State Moneyline: It's intriguing to see Washington State, currently ranked 13th nationally and fresh off a solid win against Oregon State, pegged as 3-point underdogs against UCLA. It's one of those lines that makes you scratch your head. We're backing WSU here, as we firmly believe in their capability and momentum. WSU has demonstrated resilience and prowess on the field, and it's hard to bet against them, especially against an unranked UCLA squad. Expect Washington State to pull through with the victory.

Purdue Moneyline: Fresh from their impressive victory against Illinois, where they were the underdogs yet emerged triumphant by a staggering 24 points, Purdue is on a roll. Their recent performance indicates a team that's found its rhythm and is ready to tackle bigger challenges. Today, they face Iowa in what is expected to be a low-scoring game. Given Purdue's recent surge and cohesion on the field, we're backing them to secure another win. Keep an eye on this team; they're heating up at just the right time.

Alabama Moneyline: Despite facing some challenges this season, the Crimson Tide, led by Coach Saban, marches into Aggie territory determined to secure a vital victory. Historically, Alabama has a reputation for rising to the occasion, especially during high-stakes matchups. Given the significance of this game and their innate ability to perform under pressure, we're backing Alabama to come out on top. When the lights shine brightest, expect 'Bama to show their championship pedigree.

Longshots
Longshot pick for Saturday, October 7th

Longshot Pick: Kentucky Moneyline vs Georgia: Now, as a reminder to our readers, our longshot picks are just that – longshots. They're the bets with longer odds, not necessarily expected to win, but when they do, the payoff can be substantial. These are not included in our overall record, win or loss.

With that said, let's dive into this daring selection. Georgia, as impressive as they've been this year, has shown moments of vulnerability. Kentucky, on the other hand, has consistently demonstrated resilience and the ability to capitalize on opportunities. In a week where Georgia might not be at their peak, we're boldly predicting that the Wildcats might just pull off a monumental upset. The stars could align for Kentucky in what promises to be an unforgettable matchup.
