After a tough patch to start the 12 months, final week turns us in the best course with a (small) profitable week. I discussed this final week, however that’s a part of betting on sports activities. You’re not going to win each week and you may’t let the losses change your mindset. You’ll be able to’t chase the losses or push too laborious to attempt to make up for it. Final week we trusted the method and acquired a profitable week. It’s boring, positive, however we’ll take it.
Final week’s file: 4-3, +0.70 models
Season file: 15-19, -4.59 models, -12% ROI
A smaller card to kick issues off this week. There are a handful of video games that I’m ready for the best quantity earlier than I place a guess. Keep in mind, getting the best value is essential to success when betting on sports activities. There is no such thing as a have to rush issues if the value isn’t proper.
Observe me on X (@amock19) or verify again in on the article for any updates that come later within the week. Better of luck!

Finest bets for school soccer Week 5
Liberty at Appalachian State over 61.5 (-110)
App State’s protection acquired completely torched in opposition to Clemson just a few weeks in the past after which final week adopted it up with one other dreadful efficiency in opposition to South Alabama. Liberty ought to have little hassle transferring the ball. App State has performed at a top-25 tempo to this point this season on offense whereas Liberty has been simply barely beneath common. An above-average paced sport with App State’s protection ought to imply factors and plenty of them.
- Worst line to guess: Over 62 (-110)
Georgia Southern +3.5 (-115) at Georgia State
This sport opened with Georgia Southern as the favourite and the market has pushed this all the way in which out to Georgia Southern getting greater than a subject objective. That’s a bit too wealthy in my thoughts. My quantity does make Georgia State the favourite however nowhere close to a subject objective. These groups are about even per my projections and Georgia State’s house subject benefit isn’t value a subject objective.
- Worst line to guess: Georgia Southern +3.5 (-120)
Washington State +7.5 (-110) at Boise State
I’ve been excessive on Boise State for the reason that preseason and I believe Ashton Jeanty is the greatest operating again within the nation. Nevertheless, this value is a bit steep for my liking. The early cash disagrees with me, however I’ve doubts that this will get to double digits so I’m nice with grabbing greater than a landing and an additional level right here. Washington State’s protection hasn’t been nice to begin the 12 months and the aforementioned Jeanty can rating any time the ball is in his arms, however my quantity is nearer to a subject objective than above a landing.
- Worst line to guess: Washington State +7 (-110)
North Carolina moneyline (+115) at Duke (0.5 models)
Sure, North Carolina appeared terrible in opposition to James Madison final week. There have been even rumors that head coach Mack Brown may step down on the spot. However I believe it is a little bit of an overreaction to North Carolina’s efficiency final week regardless of a few UNC accidents. May they arrive out flat? Certain, however in a rivalry sport I believe the Tar Heels aren’t quitting on the season, or not less than this sport. My mannequin makes this nearer to a choose ’em and I wished to take the Tar Heels in opposition to the unfold at +3, however the line has since moved to +2.5, which is much less worth than I’d like so I’m taking half a unit on the moneyline. If we see +3 once more, the unfold turns into a worth once more.
- Worst line to guess: North Carolina ML +115 or +3 (-115)
