THE 7 BEST v1.0

Darkseid Sports proudly presents its top 7 positions in College Football and the National Football League.

We’re back.

LAS VEGAS — Here it is.

College Football is back and going.

The National Football League is back and going.

This can mean only one thing: From the betting perspective, I’m back to give out and ultimately deliver winners regarding my top actions in college and the pros.

I wholly reject the results of last season. I’ve had to chew on and process last seasons’ calamity for the better part of one year. Just imagine associating those results with someone of my level. Blasphemous. Anywho, I’m back to do better now.

I am optimistic a rebound in this portfolio is to include satisfactions of the “Top Choice,” my feature play in the football market and greater success in auxiliary positions…a forever staple of Darkseid Sports.

Here is the deal for T7B v1.0.

Top Choice Record: 0-0
Scoring: 1 point per win, half-point per push, 1.5 points per Top Choice win

— 🏈: OKLAHOMA/MICHIGAN UNDER 43.5 POINTS (-08)

📚: BetMGM

SUPERFACT

There isn’t much historical precedent between these two programs. Both flaunt a lifetime 72% (or better) win percentage in the sport.

KEY OPINION

  • This is a play on the theory both teams defenses are better than both teams offenses. I don’t particularly like either QB1 in this game. Michigan is 0-1 pursuant to my rankings and numeric data. I have major reservations about the Michigan QB play as we sit here today. The Sooners’ defense should have a day.

— Maryland at UCONN (+12)

📚: Circa Sports

SUPERFACT

The SuperFact with Perplexity. Historical data points to underdogs of this nature covering games like this (unranked) in September.

KEY OPINION

  • This is a play on the belief UCONN is getting too many points at home in a game of this nature relevant to its historical data. +13 was long gone as we use Friday numbers here but I’m comfortable playing to +11.5.
Huskies’ Football on X.

— California at SYRACUSE (-3.5)

📚: BetMGM, Circa Sports

SUPERFACT

Cal hasn’t been great in this spot since joining this conference. This is the ACC we’re discussing here.

KEY OPINION

  • This is a play against California. Cal looked terrible last week versus UCLA, especially on defense. I hate this spot for the Bears of having to play away cross-country for a conference game. It’s a try on Syracuse for me. I don’t get the Cal love (the line is down to -3) in this market as of this writing. Play to -4.
Orange Football on X.

— Arizona State at TEXAS A&M (-14.5)

📚: BetMGM, Circa Sports

SUPERFACT

The SuperFacts with Perplexity. Fact is, Kyle Field is a fortress and the A&M defense could carry the day.

KEY OPINION

  • This is a play on the much better team at home. I think A&M is underrated in the SEC. This team has a lot to like: continuity and skill at QB, a destructive defense and are well coached. It’s the Aggies for me to handle ASU.
A&M Football on X.

— Chicago at PANTHERS (+3)

📚: BetMGM, Circa Sports

SUPERFACT

The SuperFact with Grok. There is historical trend precedent in this market saying Carolina can capture the money here.

KEY OPINION

  • This is a fade against Hammond, IN (sorry, Chicago) and the overwhelming hype which has accompanied this franchise in the build to the new season. I’ll play against the Bears with an unheralded Carolina team which has gotten incrementally better in recent seasons. Getting a field goal or better at home? Ok, I’ll bite. Grab the +3 if no better number exists.
Panthers on X. It’s helmet season!

— Miami at RAIDERS (-3)

📚: BetMGM, Circa Sports

SUPERFACT

The SuperFact with Grok. Let’s be real: this game features two bad teams. There isn’t much data to support either. Yes there is tend to support Miami as a road underdog in WK1 but I can’t get there. Aside, the situation Miami is in is sort of an anomaly.

KEY OPINION

  • This is a play against Miami. If the Raiders can’t get a win & cover here then what are we doing? I hate to dumb it down but it is what it is. The Brock Bowers injury is a negative but not a deterrent.
Raiders on X.
It’s time for the Top Choice pursuant to The 7 Best v1.0.

TOP CHOICE

— 🏈: SAINTS (+7) at Detroit

📚: Bet MGM, Circa Sports

TOP CHOICE SUPERFACT

The Feature Play SuperFacts with Perplexity. There isn’t much to my angle — the 7 points being the thing — but there is modest precedent supporting dogs in WK1. I’ll side with the one I think is ascending versus a team I think is descending.
Saints on X. I like this. No messing. To the point.

MY TAKE

It’s a play on the visiting New Orleans Saints getting 7 points when it travels to Motor City to oppose the Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. I’m not as high on New Orleans as others are but I concur — to some extent — it’s an ascending project. I think Detroit, like Chicago, is being overhyped in the NFC North. I think Detroit’s championship window has closed. It had its chance, methinks. I think this is the year where Detroit starts to descend. Let’s put that theory to the test in Week One. For all that, it’s NO +7 for me as the Top Choice pursuant to The 7 Best v1.0.

The first cut for T7B v1.0
2025/26 T7B First Cut Record: 6-5

— Denver at CHIEFS (-2.5)

📚: BetMGM, Circa Sports

I passed on Kansas City to focus on other positions. Ultimately I decided on respecting the opponent and respecting the line.
