There's a lot going on in my house right now... but there's a lot going on in online sports betting, too. Chase has early thoughts on betting NBA and NHL, plus some numerical analysis for betting early college hoops. Here's the takeaway: if a college basketball total moves up at least 6.5 points, you might want to think about tailing the steam. Same thing for totals that move down by at least three points. For that reason, we're on Georgia/Wake Forest Under 144.5 on Friday night. The podcast is also playing Colorado +34.5 at USC in the college football market, too. As always, all lines per BetMGM.As always, this week's mega betting preview includes recommendations and analysis for both college football Saturday and NFL Sunday.Make sure to read our team's content on BetMGM's blog, The Roar: https://sports.betmgm.com/en/blog/You can view the college football betting page here: https://sports.betmgm.com/en/sports/football-11/betting/usa-9/college-football-211NFL here: https://sports.betmgm.com/en/sports/football-11/betting/usa-9/nfl-35Social media links:Lion's Edge Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheLionsEdgeLion's Edge Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelionsedge/Lion's Edge TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lionsedgepod

Chase drank some super-caffeinated tea and stayed up until the wee hours of Wednesday morning to react to the inaugural edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings for this 2022 college football season. Haven't we been here with the Big 12 before?
