Big Ten Picks, Predictions Week 1
Nebraska vs. Minnesota (-7)
Thursday, 8/31 | 7 p.m. ET on FS1
Bet Labs and Action Network PRO’s Opening–Game Matchup college football system is here, folks.
This angle plays on:
-
- Home or neutral teams
- Off a bowl game last year
- In the opening game of the season
The first Big Ten pick is on the Minnesota Golden Gophers against the spread.
This system also takes out any spreads that are steamed at least a full point, so bettors don’t have to worry about losing any value.
For instance, Iowa was initially a match. However, the Hawkeyes opened -21, but are currently -23; they’re no longer a match past -22.
