Fred The Hammers CFB Thread including Early Birds

[Fred The Hammer]

I thought I'd come back this year after being gone a while. CFB has always been my fav sport to cap, especially the bowl season!

2 Early Bird Specials so far! I'll def have a few for the August 23 start as well

Old Dominion/Indiana Over 54.5 (-105) FD. I got 53.5 for $330 (max bet for me early).

Indiana and Curt Cignetti love to run up the score and this QB Fernando Mendoza brings a new wrinkle to their offense w/mobility. They can run boots, etc. One scout has him as the #1 QB coming out in the NFL draft next year. Idk about that, but he's talented. The Oline should be good....got 1 Notre Dame starter to transfer in. I also really like Roman Hemby, RB from Maryland. He's scored 25 TDs for the Terps in 3 years and has deep speed and good hands. Maryland is not a good run blocking program so he could really explode in Indiana's system. I really don't know OD, but I'm looking for IU to carry the load for the Over. I pounded IU Over alot last year and got rewarded. Cignetti loves to run that shit up! Faked a punt up 38-0 on Purdue and beat them 66-0 last year.

Indiana 45-17

GL this year and can't wait!

You're right about Cignetti. He's obsessed. He's not there to make friends.

Props on the post. And GL.

Thanks and GL to you this football season. I found this just now



Could IU quarterback Fernando Mendoza be the next Hoosier to go No. 1?

ESPN is telling you there’s a chance.

That outlet’s Jordan Reid placed 14 players in three categories as it relates to becoming the No. 1 pick — serious contenders, potential risers and longshots. He places Mendoza in the same category as the player who ended up No. 1 overall in April, Miami’s Cam Ward.

Here’s what Reid says about Mendoza’s chance to go No. 1 at the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh next April:

Predicted chance of going No. 1: 12%

I spent about 45 minutes looking at some Aug 23 games, but didn't see anything to get excited about

I like this one though on Thursday Aug 28

East Carolina +12.5 @ NC State DK

EC QB Katin Houser is back and he has a little swag in him....dual threat. EC NC State is a rivalry game and EC beat them in a bowl last year so NC State will be ready, but I don't like their program that much. EC has their top WR back as well and a bunch of transfers from bigger schools that should be hungry.

NC State 30-26

Solid breakdown… Houser’s a gamer, and getting 12.5 in a rivalry spot feels like value. NC State might pull it out, but East Carolina should hang tough, especially with all that returning talent. Good eye on that one.
