Good bets. Good times. Let’s cash some tickets.

Week 0 is here. We run through Saturday’s slate and how we’re attacking it, then hit our five golden rules so you don’t torch your bankroll in August. Bets, leans, and what actually matters once the ball’s in the air.

Games covered:
• Iowa State vs Kansas State in Dublin
• Fresno State at Kansas
• Sam Houston vs Western Kentucky
• UNLV vs Idaho State
• Stanford at Hawai‘i

Our card and leans:

• Bet locked: Kansas State -3
• Considering: Kansas -13.5 if the number holds
• Watching for a buy: Sam Houston +10.5 if it pops again, pace could keep them inside the number
• UNLV vs Idaho State: huge steam job, only lean would be dog or pass at +30.5
• Stanford at Hawai‘i: market flipped; likely pass unless +3 shows on Stanford

We close with a quick refresh on the 5 rules that keep you alive all season: bankroll discipline, process over results, price over logo, shop multiple books, and track every play. Simple. Boring. It works.
