.The countdown to college football season is on.Week 0 begins along with a handful of video games on Saturday, Aug. 24. Despite the fact that we're still a handful of weeks out of kickoff, "Bear Bets" gone back to examine the 2024 period. Chris "The Bear" Fallica as well as Geoff Schwartz were actually signed up with by Brett Ciancia of Select 6 Previews. They discussed their favorite succeed complete wagers, Heisman long shots and also more.Let's dive into the enjoyable. Permit's undergo some win total amounts. Just how perform you really feel concerning Colorado's 5.5-win total for 2024? Schwartz: Forecasting Colorado to go 6-6, but don't experience solid in any case" I do not experience adequate to wager on their Over given that they haven't shown it. They can not be even worse on self defense. They included two defensive electrician-- which I as if-- in the website. However that's it, 2 defensive linemen I just like in the site. They possess a whole brand-new aggressive line along with a real freshman left tackle, who might be actually great. He's a top-notch kid, but generally it takes a little bit of your time." Will Colorado, Deion Sanders improve upon their return to the Big-12 conference? Exist any other gain totals you like in the new Large 12? The Bear: Arizona Under 8" You have actually obtained a brand new game. You've got a new workers. Yeah, Noah Fifita as well as McMillan are actually back, yet what occurs if something occurs to McMillan? Do they possess any person else at pass receiver that can boost and also pack that gap? They were therefore deeper upfront on the defensive line last year, but each of that deepness is actually gone." There are actually 4 groups joining the Major Ten this period. Exist any type of succeed total wagers you like relating to the four newcomers in the conference?The Bear: UCLA Under 5.5" It is actually odd since that line opened at 6 at some manuals. It is actually now down to 4.5 at various other areas." Schwartz: UCLA Under 5.5" Their roster at this moment just needs to have a considerable amount of job. It only needs to have job which's what occurs when Potato chip Kelly left behind at a strange time." Schwartz: Adjusted Washington Under 6.5" Away from 44 gamers on Washington's intensity graph coming from the Sugar Bowl, how many carries out Washington have returning this time? 3! That's it. ... The group possesses no person from their crew last season." Just how about amongst the other staffs in the Big Ten. Are there any type of win totals you like there?Ciancia: Iowa Over 7.5 wins (it depends on 8.5 currently)" I like their defense. This year, they spoke up for a bunch of their ability from moving or even going pro along with their NIL, so they took practically everyone back. ... If they can easily obtain any enhancement from their offense whatsoever, this group can succeed 9 or 10 games." Schwartz: Rutgers Scarlett Knights Over 6 victories" Arrange issues, right? The identified top-five groups in the Big 10-- Michigan, Oregon, Ohio Condition, Penn Condition and Iowa-- Rutgers participates in none of them. Three of those five teams were accountable for fifty percent of their losses last time. They possess a bunch of NFL-caliber protective players returning at the same time." Exist any kind of succeed complete wagers you like in the SEC?The Bear: Arkansas Under 5.5. Would select Under 4.5 as well" They bottomed out in 2013. They just seemed like a defeated crew. ... If you drop that routine, beyond the game against Arkansas Pine Bluff, there isn't a game on that particular timetable that mentions that that is actually a win." Everybody likes a good longshot bet on the Heisman. Exist any longshot wagers you've made on the award thus far?The Bear: Ohio Condition QB Julian Sayin (100-1), Colorado WR/CB Travis Seeker (65-1), Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith (150-1)" Is actually Sayin visiting gain the job? Maybe, maybe not. I get the feel that Ohio Condition is actually heading to choose Can Howard at the beginning of the year. We'll view where they are actually due to the time the meat product of the schedule appears eventually in the year considering that I assume Sayin is incredibly skilled. " I presume Johnson is an overall addict as well as I think he possesses a possibility to be extremely, extremely special. I've listened to people that've observed him at Ohio State mention he could begin for crews in the NFL at the moment and also be a top-10 or even five pick." Schwartz: Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan (+15000 at time of wager)" He had more than 1,400 lawns in 2015 and also 10 goals. Let's only claim Arizona participates in effectively this time. DeVonta Johnson had concerning 1,550 lawns and also concerning 17 touchdowns in the routine period when he succeeded the Heisman. So he 'd need four, 5 additional touchdowns and also 400 even more gardens to definitely stand apart. That feels practical. Arizona's received ta go 10-2, though. Taking a look at label challengers, will you bank on an uphold that Ohio Condition or Georgia succeeds the national championship over the field?Ciancia: Take Ohio State and also Georgia versus the area" When you take a look at high school sponsor, it's No. 1 and also 2 in the nation. It is actually going to be actually the title of top notch intensity. As well as when you check out not simply the high school sponsor yet the 2025 mock consensus simulated draft, they are No. 1 as well as 2." CFB Examine: Ohio State and also Georgia or the field? The Bear: Take Ohio State and Georgia versus the industry" If you state Oregon as well as Texas are both crews that may likely win the label beyond Ohio State as well as Georgia, if they are actually certainly not the event champ, they've reached play 3 activities just to reach the last. ... While our team believe Texas and also Oregon are that really good, are you heading to have the ability to play two games and after that trump Ohio State or even Georgia in the semifinal and after that trump Ohio Condition or even Georgia once more in the headline video game? I presume it produces it a quite challenging suggestion for anyone outside those 2 crews." Ole Miss may be CFP darkhorse prospect Any type of shock staffs that you presume can bring in a run?Ciancia: Ole Miss (-130 to make CFP, +650 to gain SEC, +1500 to succeed national label)" Street Kiffin has called themself the portal master. He's undoubtedly supported it up along with three right, best pair of classes in the last 3 patterns. Thus, 17 four- and also five-star gamers are can be found in to supplement this lineup."
