We are starting off the NCAA Football season with a player prop, which was our saving grace of last season. Tomorrow we are taking the SMU QB to have a great start against a terrible secondary, and really let the ball fly. Now, Preston Stone was the QB for the Mustangs all year until he sustained an injury late in the year, holding him out of the AAC Championship and their bowl game. However tonight he is back, and things are different for the Mustangs as they are now apart of the ACC.

They get an easy start to their schedule, facing a Nevada Wolfpack team that has a win total of just 2.5 this season, and I see SMU letting Stone loose. The man is coming back off an injury, and you're playing in a much tougher conference this year. In order to get him really ready to go, I see them letting him air it out. If Stone is able to pick up some easy throws for bunches of yards, it will certainly instill some confidence in him going forward. Coming back from an injury can be incredibly tough, especially mentally, so giving the kid an opportunity to make some easy throws early in the game will be essential to his success for the rest of the year.

The spread is this big for a reason, and although SMU will eventually either take Stone out of start pounding the ground, I trust him to clear this number fairly early in the 2nd half. With a college props, be sure to do your lineshopping in order to get the best number and odds for your bet!

Delaware State vs Hawaii Best Bets

The Rainbow Warriors are at home tomorrow to start the NCAA Football season

Will the Rainbow Warriors dominate at home like expected?

Best Bet: Hawaii -40 (-120) BetOnline

Look, in the spirit of full transparency, I am not laying this number straight. But it's the Rainbow Warriors by a million. This is almost a princple bet for Week 0 of College Football, as Hawaii typically plays a standalone game on the island, and you've got to back the home team. Not only is Delaware State a bad FCS squad, they had plenty of traveling issues getting to the island.

After some bus mishaps getting to the airport, the Hornets were delayed getting across the country and then down to the middle of the ocean. Do you think these college kids are focused on a game that they know they'll get their teeth kicked in? Absolutely not. They're sipping cocktails out of coconuts on the island like any other 20-year old would do if the school paid for his Hawaiian vacation. Don't be stupid, just back Hawaii.
