Why does the host think Iowa will cover +18.5 against Ohio State?

Why is the UCF vs. Florida game considered a sharp play?

🏈 Game Analysis and Betting Picks for Saturday

Next, he picks Iowa +18.5 versus Ohio State, predicting a closer-than-expected game due to Ohio State’s tendency for slow offensive starts and Iowa’s top-tier defense.

Keywords

💡Best Bets

Best Bets refer to the top, most confident picks for wagers in sports betting. In the video, Zach frequently mentions his 'Best Bets,' signifying the predictions he's most sure about, such as Michigan covering the spread or Syracuse winning outright. It is central to the theme of the video, which focuses on providing betting advice for college football games.

💡Spread

The spread is a betting term referring to the expected margin of victory or defeat for a team. In the script, Zach mentions Michigan covering a +24.5 point spread, meaning Michigan was expected to lose by less than 24.5 points or win. Understanding spreads is crucial for sports betting analysis, which is the focus of the video.

💡Clemson vs. Florida State

Clemson vs. Florida State is one of the key matchups discussed in the video. Zach predicts that Clemson will easily cover the -15.5 point spread against Florida State. This game is highlighted to illustrate his confidence in Clemson’s offensive and defensive strengths and Florida State’s struggles with quarterback DJ Uiagalelei.

💡Public betting

Public betting refers to how the general public wagers on sports events. Zach contrasts his betting strategy with that of the public, emphasizing that while the public is backing certain teams like Ohio State, he often bets against the public's consensus. This concept is important as Zach encourages viewers to bet strategically rather than following the crowd.

💡Iowa vs. Ohio State

This matchup is another key game in Zach’s betting strategy. He predicts that Iowa will cover an 18.5 point spread against Ohio State, despite Ohio State’s powerful offense. Zach bases this pick on Iowa’s strong defense and Ohio State's potential to be distracted by their upcoming game against Oregon.

💡Sharp money

Sharp money refers to bets placed by professional or highly informed bettors, as opposed to casual or public bets. In the video, Zach frequently refers to 'sharp plays,' including his pick of UCF to beat Florida, meaning that informed bettors are backing UCF based on their analysis. Sharp money indicates more calculated, data-driven decisions in betting.

💡Moneyline

A moneyline bet is a wager on which team will win a game outright, without considering the point spread. In the video, Zach mentions taking the moneyline for UCF to beat Florida, which means he is betting that UCF will win the game straight up, regardless of the score differential. The use of moneyline bets allows for simpler predictions focused on who wins or loses.

💡Look-ahead spot

A look-ahead spot refers to a situation in sports where a team might underperform because they are focused on a more important game in the near future. Zach uses this concept when discussing Ohio State's potential lack of focus in their game against Iowa, as they might be looking ahead to their next matchup against Oregon. This impacts his prediction that Iowa will cover the spread.

💡Late game timing

Zach discusses how the late timing of games, such as Cal vs. Miami, can affect performance. He specifically mentions that Miami may struggle with a game that starts at 10:30 PM Eastern time, which is much later than their usual games. Cal, being more accustomed to late games, is predicted to perform better, which is why Zach favors Cal with the points in this matchup.

💡Members Only Best Bets

Members Only Best Bets refer to exclusive betting picks provided to paid subscribers of Zach’s service. These are additional, highly confident picks shared with his private community, which he promotes throughout the video. The mention of these bets highlights the monetization aspect of his channel and how followers can gain access to premium advice.

results so yesterday on Friday we had

another solid day 3 and two day members

only best bet split we had Michigan plus

24 and a half we sweed that one out that

was nerve-wracking as but I mean

Michigan state had two Red Zone

interceptions that was huge for us um

and we got it done and by the way a

couple of you guys remember as I know

ask me about 23 and half 22 and A2 we

got the sad field goal at the end and

get us under those numbers so you love

to see that members only bet best bet

under 58 half you know V in Syracuse if

Syracuse's punt team was even remotely

competent we go way under this number

because we just handed you LV two

touchdowns so that would have been 3117

going in the fourth quarter and we would

have gotten under this number but you

know is what it is made for an exciting

game though uh Syracuse plus 6 and a

half we got them outright didn't even

need the points and for those of y'all

in the comments who gave me which

there was a lot of y'all who gave me

about the Syracuse play um I don't

yesterday haven't gotten one yet but I

have seen some deleted comments though

uh that were there and that they weren't

there after the game so is what it is

coward uh Jacksonville State team total

over 33 and a half that was a win uh TCU

minus 16 a half uh that was a blowout

excited to have youall here let's go win

together today let's go make some money

so like I said guys we have nine plays

let's get start with play number one uh

which is going to be Clemson minus 15

half versus Florida State Florida State

season is over they can't score and dju

is a big reason why now listen this is a

bit of a square play not going to lie

obviously because it's- 15 a half the

public is all over Clemson but sometimes

the public is smart on this and this is

definitely one of those plays outside

the Georgia game cuz Georgia game

Clemson look like they didn't they

didn't even practice offense for 9

months straight this offense has been

absolutely electric they've been great

Kate kumnick has been awesome he's he's

been playing exactly how I thought he'd

play the last last couple last year and

this year he's been awesome um and

Garrett Riley as OC has taken a huge

step forward with this team the offense

looks really really good um imagine if

they usually the transfer portal this

team would be a top 10 team right now

and when you look at Clemson their

defense is great as it always is and dju

is not protected well he can't throw the

ball past 10 yards in the air um with

without it being a complete Nutter

disaster I said this about my Redskins

cuz I'm a Redskins fan for years before

Jaden D before Jaden Daniels thank God

we love Jen but we love jayen danels but

before Jen danels whenever my

quarterbacks would throw the ball more

than 15 yards there would just be this

incoming sense of dread of like

something horrible is going to happen

and that's what Florida state has with

uh dju because every time he throws the

ball it's going to be a disaster and

he's not protected well and Clemson

rushes the passer unbelievably well

Clemson's going to snatch whatever

whatever remaining a Florida State Soul

they are snatching today in Tallahassee

this game is a blowout give me Clemson

minus 15 half versus Florida State next

we're go with Iowa plus 185 versus Ohio

State everyone in their mother is on

Ohio State right now everyone is and I

don't blame them they have a awesome

true freshman will Howard look all right

uh they've got great running backs this

Ohio State team is is legit but guess

what this game is going to be a lot

closer than people think cuz I don't bet

with the public we bet against it and

Ohio State has had no nothing but slow

offensive starts this year and against

an Iowa defense which you can make an

argument is like top three in the

country this that that could be a

problem plus Ohio State's got Oregon

next week this is an obvious look ahead

spot uh for Ohio State and Iowa their

offense has been much improved over the

over over the last four or five years in

compar in comparison the last four or

five years they've gotten a lot better I

think this game's a lot closer than

people think oh how state will win this

game don't get me wrong but this game I

think is more of like a 10 or 13o game

instead of a 21o game give me give me

Iowa plus 18 and a half versus Ohio

State today next we're going with

Central Florida money line UCF versus

Florida uh first off rivalry game the

sharp play is is UCF here I mean this is

just so obvious to me um got embarrassed

by Colorado last week they will bounce

back today plus they no now they and

they have more Talent than this Florida

team now the one thing Florida has going

for them as they playing in the swamp

but the swamp isn't really the swamp

right now this these this Florida fan

base at absolutely is aware of of how

bad this team is like this Florida team

that Florida just doesn't have the

horses to compete against legitimate

teams and UCF in my opinion is a

legitimate team they're a big 12 team um

and when you look at unless unless

Florida fires Napier like right before

the game and they decide to start DJ

lagway for the rest of the season they

might there might be some more

enthusiasm and I think Florida will be

on its way back the moment they fire

naier and the moment they make GJ lagway

the fulltime start over gr Merz um but

until that point it's time to fade the

Gators I don't know why the Public's on

the Gators maybe it's just cuz they're

at home and it's an SEC team versus a

big 12 team but UCF is going to

absolutely dominate KJ Jefferson's

played in the swamp before he's he's a

good quarterback he didn't have a good

showing last week but he's a good

quarterback give me UCF money line

versus Florida I think this money L like

minus 118 as well next we're going with

West Virginia plus three versus Oklahoma

State Oak state is not good like they're

not good oi Gordon's great the running

back he's fantastic but they're not good

they've lost back-to-back games and the

issues that they've had in both those

games have shown very very cly first off

with USA in particular um they started

Zack Wilson's brother and now not even

joking by the way literally his his

younger brother and at on the road

against Oklahoma State they had no

offense to speak of for literally three

and a half quarters and still somehow

won this game and they won it pretty

comfortably um and on top of that then

they go to Kansas State and Kansas State

drags their balls over all over Oklahoma

State's face the entire game we had K

State by the way minus four and a half

in that game M's only best bet just

saying um but even so like the Oklahoma

State's not good plus they starting a

quarterback who's like 35 years old like

he's been in college longer than most

people are in grade school I mean it's

it's unbelievable that he's allowed to

play college football I don't understand

that one bit um West Virginia I think

just a better team overall they they're

better and I'm catching three points now

I wouldn't bet this a two and a half

personally because I like getting the

three in case like Oklahoma State

actually plays well but like Florida I

think the enthusiasm for this Oklahoma

State team has gone down the drain

especially with Oklahoma with that

comeback that had um against Auburn I

think there's going be more ttention if

you're split between the two probably

not cuz I live in Oklahoma but I'm sure

there' B Rivals but even so gar Green's

going to also cause problems because he

can throw and he can move I just don't

the sharp money is on on West Virginia

today Oklahoma State blows I I mean

right now anyway Oly Gordon's good I

like M Gundy but you know give me West

Virginia plus three versus um Oklahoma

State today next we're going to go with

cal plus 10 and a half versus Miami the

sharp money is all over Cal today this

for me is a body clock game this game

starts 10:30 p.m. Eastern and this game

will probably not finish until about

1:30 a.m. eastern I would say about 1:45

a.m. something maybe even two and Miami

is not used to playing this late in the

day Cal is and this game will be close

Cal's got a good defense I think this

game is be very similar to the Virginia

Tech game where it's just a three-point

game or a six-point game going down the

stretch uh the libs are going to be out

in Berkeley uh they're going to be ready

to roll since game day is there this's

just a Vibes play plus just a money play

on where the money is going everyone's

on Miami but again they're playing at

10:30 at night I mean they're not

they're playing basically night golf

when you're not used to playing night

golf it's it doesn't make sense So cal

plus 10 and half versus Miami here today
