• Texas vs. Ohio State: The Longhorns’ QB advantage has us leaning burnt orange—Marc and Scott see Texas pulling away late.
  
  
• Alabama vs. Florida State: A classic heavyweight tilt. Alabama’s line play and QB talent set them up to dominate.

• Identifying early-season “sell” programs (sorry, App State).
  
  

Marc and Scott for the Week Zero episode of The Crazy Sheet Podcast, diving headfirst into the early matchups that mark the start of the 2025 college football season. Covering five FBS games and one FBS vs. FCS matchup, they bring betting insights, quarterback breakdowns, and hot takes from Dublin to Honolulu.

Top Game Breakdown: Farmageddon in Ireland (Iowa State vs. Kansas State)

• Setting the Stage: The annual Big 12 rivalry goes global in Dublin.
  
  
• Marc’s Take: Iowa State’s defense is elite, and QB Rocho Becht could be an NFL name in the making. He likes the Cyclones +3 and even took them ML at +140.
  
  
• Scott’s View: It’s going to be a “sloppy, low-scoring” affair—thinks turnovers will decide it. He predicts a 20-17 final and agrees with the Cyclones' upside at +3
  
  
• Betting Call: Both lean Iowa State, love the under.
  
  

Other Week Zero Matchups:

• Sam Houston State vs. Western Kentucky
  
  
  • 63 new players at SHSU and a new coach? Yikes.
    
    
  • WKU’s explosive offense leads Marc to take the over 60.5 and WKU to cover.
    
    
• Kansas vs. Fresno State
  
  
  • Kansas returns QB Daniels and has a new stadium.
    
    
  • Fresno is physical and underrated.
    
    
  • Marc leans Fresno +13 due to Kansas’s thin defense.
    
    
• UNLV vs. Idaho State
  
  
  • 🔥 Lock of the week: Both boys love UNLV here.
    
    
  • Dan Mullen’s use of the portal and tough defense make them a sneaky Group of 5 playoff contender.
    
    
  • Two-unit play on UNLV.
    
    
• Stanford vs. Hawaii
  
  
  • Line moved toward Hawaii with Stanford rebuilding.
    
    
  • Marc and Scott agree: Stanford is in trouble.
    
    
  • Possible play: Hawaii -2.5.
    
    

Week Zero Betting Card (Marc’s Picks):

• UNLV – 2 units
  
  
• Iowa State +3 / ML +140 – 1.5 units total
  
  
• Fresno State +13 – 1 unit
  
  
• SHSU/WKU Over 60.5 – 1 unit
  
  

Heisman Futures & Week One Tease

Looking ahead, Marc and Scott name long-shot Heisman hopefuls:

• Ryan Williams (Alabama)
  
  
• Ty Simpson (Alabama)
  
  
• Austin Simmons (Ole Miss) – Compared to Tua
  
  
• Matar (Oklahoma) – Big dual-threat upside
  
  
• Scott’s sleeper: Clemson QB if he shines against LSU
  
  

The Crazy Sheet Podcast – Big Ten Breakdown: Cornfields, Chaos & Contenders

The boys are back and this time they're heading north—way north—to tackle the biggest questions across the new-look Big Ten, now an 18-team bicoastal behemoth.

Marc Atnipp and Scott Denson dig deep into everything from Penn State's playoff-or-bust season to Matt Rhule's Nebraska rebuild. Can Drew Allar throw a forward pass when it counts? Is Lincoln Riley coaching for his job at USC? And why on earth is Matt Patricia calling the defense in Columbus?

We hit all the big names—Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, USC—plus surprise love for Iowa, Illinois, and Washington, and some serious skepticism toward Wisconsin and Maryland. You'll also get:

• 🚨 Gambling insights: Live Week One picks, travel traps, and why Minnesota might put you to sleep (and your wallet in danger).
  
  
• 🧠 Deep dives: Coaching changes, schedule analysis, quarterback upgrades, and NIL drama.
  
  
• 🎯 Hot takes: From betting on Buffalo over Minnesota to fading UCLA’s road stretch and betting big on Alabama in Week One.

Subscribe now. Listen up. Bet smart. And for God’s sake, fade Wisconsin.

The boys are back with a full-throttle tour of SEC chaos, hype, and heartbreak. Marc and Scott crank up the Preseason Panic Meter™ to break down which teams are built to contend—and which are destined for another year of 8-4 dreams and delusion.

They dive headfirst into the Arch Madness surrounding Texas, question if Bama is actually back or just borrowing swagger, and wonder if Texas A&M can finally escape the purgatory of being just good enough to disappoint you. Also: Vandy is kinda turnt, and we’re not kidding.

From Georgia’s offensive growing pains to LSU’s line issues, Oklahoma’s horror-movie schedule, and Heisman flyers you’ve never heard of (but will pretend you did)—this one’s loaded like a Lane Kiffin postgame.

Oh, and Southern Miss might beat Mississippi State. Yeah, we said it.

📍Next stop: Big Ten breakdowns, Sun Belt sickos, and betting picks galore.

In this episode of The Crazy Sheet Podcast, the crew tackles the biggest questions looming over the 2025 college football season. From the heartland to the coasts, no program is safe from scrutiny.

The show kicks off with a deep dive into Wisconsin’s rocky outlook—Built for the Big 10? Wisconsin’s Tough Road Ahead—and why the Badgers may not be built to survive the conference’s new era. Shifting to a more hopeful storyline, the hosts explore Is Year Three the Breakthrough for Nebraska?, analyzing whether Matt Rhule’s track record and a favorable schedule could finally get the Huskers over the hump.

Down in the South, it’s a mixed bag. Florida’s Brutal Schedule: Sink or Swim? Raises alarms about the Gators’ season ahead and what it will take to keep the coaching seat from getting too hot. Meanwhile, Oklahoma in the SEC: Ready or Not? Examines how the Sooners might fare in their first full tour through college football’s toughest league—and what happens if they fall short.

The conversation heats up with Can Auburn Break Through with Better QB Play?, where the Tigers’ chances of becoming a surprise SEC contender are broken down. Then it’s westward to USC in the Big 10: Real Threat or Mirage?, debating whether the Trojans are ready to compete in their new conference or still too reliant on past prestige.

The hosts also look across the national coaching landscape in Which Coaches Are Already on the Hot Seat?, weighing which programs may be closer to making a change than fans realize. Speculation ramps up with Lane Kiffin Watch: The Coaching Carousel Begins?, exploring where the sport’s most polarizing coach might land next.

Finally, the episode wraps with two big-picture questions: Big 10 Shake-Up: Who Can Survive the New Landscape? and Preseason Panic Meter: Who’s Rising, Who’s Falling?—a rapid-fire rundown of teams set to rise, fall, or simply implode in 2025.

Whether you're betting futures, setting expectations, or just soaking in the chaos, this episode is your preseason pulse check.

The boys are back at it, and as college football changes, so do our strategies for finding edges in building a portfolio for the season.  This week, the guys take a way too early stab at building a 12-team portfolio for the CFB Playoff.  The goal here isn't just to predict the winner but the 12 teams we think can make the playoffs to allow you to start building a portfolio to hedge from in December.  

We pulled all of these odds from the Circa Board on May 14th.   Good Luck to All.

Bama 15-1
Ohio State 5 1/2-1
UGA 5 1/2 -1 
Boise State 500-1
Texas Tech 120-1
Louisville 100-1
Oregon 7-1
LSU 23-1
Clemson 12-1
Texas 5 1/2 -1
Penn State 8-1
Illinois 150-1

With the Natty two weeks in the rearview, the boys sit down and try to asses where college football is headed with the transfer portal and the new role of General Manager that we see pop up on more and more teams. 

How are rosters going to be shipped in the future?
Who is going to influence recruiting the GM, the position coach?
Is recruiting going to exist like we've known it for years?
Are we still going to celebrate national signing day?

Let's Go!

The boys finished the season up between 10 -15 units.  Now that the dust has settled on the season, the transfer portal coaching carousel ( for now) takes a quick look back and talks about the direction of college football and how that could affect bettors in 2025.  

Enjoy the quick listen.

With one game left, the boys spend a few minutes looking at angles, prop bets, and anything else on the board that might have some value to get you ready for the game.

Good Luck to all, and we hope you enjoyed the season.
