Week 5 MACtion Bet-kakke Sports Gambling Lessons and Picks

Sure, at its most basic, the return of football is its own reward. But perhaps you’re like me and looking for a way to make even the most uninteresting games have a little bit of excitement and put some skin in the game for you. Enter the glorious world of sports wagering.

Admittedly, sports wagering is not for everyone and there’s more reasons to not do it than to do it, but if you have disposable income and live near a place where this is an option, then combining making some dollar bills with watching some football isn’t a bad way to spend your time. You haven’t truly lived until you have been on pins and needles for a mid-week SunBelt game where a final drive is going to determine whether it’s a backdoor cover or a perfect weekend.

Each week this season, we’ll give you a little gambling lesson and your Mid-American Conference odds, all for entertainment purposes, of course.

Lesson 5:

You know what our lesson this week us? Trust us when we give you Mid-American Conference picks. Why, you ask? BECAUSE WE ARE ON FIRE.

Don’t mind me, that’s just a 5-2 conference slate with 1 push. 1-2 in the bonus picks this week thanks to stupid Maryland. First they steal my coach at Ball State and then they shat the bed on our bonus picks. Go to your room, Terps, and think about what you’ve done. That’s 11-5 in MAC picks the last two weeks. 11-5 is ridiculously awesome and I sincerely hope you’re riding these picks and paying cash for a new house.
