NCAAF Week 0 parlay picks at +816 odds, Saturday 8/26 | Pickswise

Ladies and gentlemen, football season is here!

The 2023 NFL campaign is still a couple of weeks away, but action on the college gridiron is upon us. It’s Week 0, which is somewhat of an apPetizer to the main course that is Labor Day Weekend. Still, we have Football! And that means we also have bets to be made.

Below is my mega parlay for Saturday, and also be sure to check out all of our college football picks.

Navy +21 (-110)

Ohio ML (+120)

New Mexico State -9.5 (+118) 

NCAAF parlay odds: +816

For this parlay we are going with an underdog on the money line, an underdog plus the points and a favorite against an alternate spread. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.

Navy +21 over Notre Dame (-110)

This opening-weekend showdown between Notre Dame and Navy is taking place in Dublin, Ireland. That obviously isn’t a normal location, and when any kind of wrench gets thrown into an equation it’s generally good news for the underdog. Getting 3 touchdowns is also good news for Midshipmen supporters. In fact, with all of the service academies it’s often a solid play to back them whenever they are getting a bunch of points against Power 5 programs. Navy covered in these situations multiple times last year and they can do the same on Saturday.

The Midshipmen are still running a variation of the triple-option offense, but at the same time it’s a new system under first-year offensive coordinator Grant Chesnut (formerly of Kennesaw State). Navy will not only be running the clock but can also be expected to have some success on the ground. On the other side of the ball, Sam Hartman is taking over at quarterback for Notre Dame; that should be a good thing in the long run, but there could be an adjustment period. For the first game of the season, this is too big of a spread.

Ohio ML over San Diego State (+120)

Week 0 includes this fun MAC vs Mountain West battle between Ohio and San Diego State. Ohio enjoyed plenty of success offensively last season behind MAC Offensive Player of the Year Kurtis Rourke. The Maple Missile ended up going down in November with an ACL injury, but he should be 100% at this point and ready to pick up where he left off in 2022. Rourke passed for 2,725 yards and accounted for 25 touchdowns in 11 Games last season.

The Bobcats are bringing back pretty much everyone on that side of the ball, too, so optimism abounds with this program. San Diego State has been going in the wrong direction. SDSU went from 12-2 in 2021 to 7-6 last year – after which it lost a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. Gone from the defense are 3-time All-Conference linebacker Caden McDonald and 2022 Mountain West Co-Defensive Player of the Year Patrick McMorris at safety. Ohio has good value on the money line.

DraftKings Sportsbook is currently giving new customers $200 in bonus bets when they bet $5. That’s all there is to it! Grab this amazing sign-up offer by clicking this link.

New Mexico State -9.5 over UMass (+118)

New Mexico State head coach Jerry Kill (formerly with Minnesota) is entering his second year and the early returns are encouraging. The Aggies compiled a winning record in 2022, which saw them earn their second bowl bid in 62 years and defeat Bowling Green 24-19 in the Quick Lane Bowl. This is nothing new for Kill, who has become an expert at turning around football programs. His resume includes taking Southern Illinois from 1-10 to 10-2 in 2 years, improving Northern Illinois from 6-7 to 10-3 in 2 years and also taking Minnesota to a bowl game in year 2.

Momentum should continue for New Mexico State – which won 6 of its final 7 games last season – at the beginning of this 2023 campaign. UMass compiled a 1-11 record last year, beating only Stony Brook. The Minutemen are 0-23 in road games over the last 4 years. Expect the Aggies to win by double-digits.

United pilots to picket as airline unions press for higher pay

The peak summer travel season is almost here, and pilots are stepping up their pressure on major airlines for new contracts that will include higher pay DALLAS -- Just ahead of what could be a record-breaking summer Travel season, pilots from one of the nation’s biggest airline s are preparing to march in picket lines at major airports on Friday as they push for higher pay. The United Airlines pilots have been working without a raise for more than four years while negotiating with airline management over a new contract. The coast-to-coast protests come on the heels of overwhelming strike-authorization votes by pilots at American Airlines and Southwest Airlines. United pilots could be the next to vote. Pilots at all three carriers are looking to match or beat the deal that Delta Air Lines reached with its pilots earlier this year, which raised pay rates by 34% over four years. United has proposed to match the Delta increase, but that might not be enough for a deal. “We still have a

Tottenham confirm exits of outcast duo to Galatasaray

Tottenham and Galatasaray have confirmed agreements have been reached for the permanent transfer of centre-back Davinson Sanchez and the loan of Tanguy Ndombele. Colombia international Sanchez signed for Spurs in 2017 and impressed playing alongside Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld in central defence. However, the 27-year-old lost his regular spot in the north London club's defence and recent seasons have seen him look bereft of confidence. Sanchez missed a penalty as Tottenham were eliminated from the Carabao Cup in the second round on penalties by Fulham last week. Midfielder Ndombele has also departed on loan with a €15m option for the Turkish side to make the deal permanent next year. It is Ndombele's third loan move away from Spurs following what has been a totally unsuccessful €62m transfer from Lyon. Sanchez spent six full seasons at Tottenham after they forked out what was then a club-record transfer of £42m to Ajax. Sanchez was jeered by fans at Tottenham Hotspur
