![]() ![]() ![]() The Cornhuskers-Wildcats tilt - in Ireland, of all places - is the clear headliner. Week 0 of the 2022 College Football season features an intriguing matchup between a pair of Big Ten programs coming off disappointing seasons on Saturday, August 27th. Read below for the best ATS picks for Week 0 of the college football season.Nebraska and Northwestern face off in Dublin, while Wyoming visits Illinois.Week 0 of College Football features an appetizer-like slate on Saturday, August 27th.Mandatory Credit: Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports Here’s hoping that the latter two still make appearances once college basketball season ends.Madison, Wisconsin, USA Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach Scott Frost waits with the football team before taking to the field prior to the game against the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium. The trio was on camera together several times, and there’s some good chemistry between the three. Most of those featured on Daily Wager are pretty polished on camera, but the standouts were Kezirian (who isn’t just a studio host moonlighting as a gambling enthusiast), Stanford Steve (which you’d expect from his SC:SVP hits), and Chris “The Bear” Fallica (which you’d also expect, given his College GameDay segments). The same was true during the lone NFL and NHL segments of the night, and I’d imagine it’ll also be true if the show starts talking about MLB games once the regular season starts. The college basketball experts talked about college basketball. Those who knew about the NBA talked about the NBA. I also liked how each of the experts brought in on the show seemed to stick to their own lane. It’s obviously an important topic that many people have vested interests in, but going from game and line analysis and picks to what was essentially a straight news segment seemed to disrupt some of Daily Wager’s flow. That baseball futures segment featured Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve with Kezirian, and it was the highlight of the show (mainly because Van Pelt went all in on his wretched Orioles team, before going with the over on their record-low win total).ĮSPN.com’s David Purdum also joined Kezirian for a brief segment talking about the future of legalized sports betting in the US, and while the segment was well-thought out and interesting, it really didn’t feel like a fit with the way the show was set up. They started with college basketball, moved on to the NBA, then moved to NFL futures, then to the NHL, then back to the NBA, and then onto baseball futures. The focus bounced all across the sports world, and was dizzying at times. There were at least half a dozen guests in the first half hour, three of which were in studio with Kezirian for brief periods of time. I know that ESPN probably wanted to go all-out with the first episode of Daily Wager, but I felt there was too much content in the one-hour premiere. It really seems like the only people not making picks on the show are the reporters, which actually makes all the sense in the world (compared to not letting anchors or analysts make picks). Fantasy basketball writer Andre Snellings had an entire segment dedicated to the night’s NBA prop bets and daily fantasy picks. Barry Melrose (!!!) showed up and made some NHL winner and total picks while providing some analysis. ![]() Adam Schefter had a brief segment, and didn’t make anything remotely close to a pick.
