Beating the offshores with college football, NFL, and Politics bets

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Tigers record vs teams over .500 besides the Guardians 23-15

Tigers record vs everyone else, 14-34

5th in AL in run differential

14 blown losses with leads headed into the 7th inning

6-22 May with 3/5 SPs and 4 starters on IL

Strange, unusual season

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

How many players in this lineup have a batting average over .215 and have a minimum of 10 At Bats this season? 3.

Disgrace

Yeah, give me Yankees ML

I don’t believe this for one second. Michigan is a top 5 school/coaching job across all sports with all factors considered: prestige, resources, NIL/endowments/$$. It is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current collegiate environment

"I spoke to a source close to Dusty May ... it IS the college environment that is pushing him to this decision."

College Basketball Insider @MattNorlander reveals what really led to Dusty May leaving college hoops for the NBA.

Pinch hitting a guy with a .129 Batting average with the bases loaded in the 4th inning has to be the dumbest, worst coaching in MLB history. Fire Hinch. EGREGIOUS fireable offense

[Evan Petzold @EvanPetzold]

Jahmai Jones strikes out swinging.

Boos from the fans at Comerica Park. #Tigers

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Just how awful has Michigan State football become?

Adding a backup defensive lineman from Winona State. As a “key” post spring addition.

Pitiful

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Hot take: the AL Central is up for grabs. Not liking what I’m seeing from the Guardians lately.

Still like their bullpen + playoff chances, but their lineup is average. Not the runaway favorite as priced

Negative run differential, 4-6 in last 10

I’d buy CHISOX @ market price

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Minnesota Football currently has the 15th ranked recruiting class for 2027. For context that is higher than Alabama, Georgia, and Texas. This is unthinkable for anyone over 20 who remembers them winning <6 games every year

Since when do the Gophers have this level of resources?

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Am I crazy for thinking D is a no brainer here?

You get:

Lake Minnetonka
Alexandria
The very underrated St Croix/Chisago Lakes area
Lots of great golf courses and small lake/cabin towns

I can see E, F, G, but they are less dynamic and would get boring after a week. Thoughts?

[Tony Liebert @TonyLiebert]

You have a two-week vacation in Minnesota during the summer, but you can’t leave the zone you pick. Where are you going?

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Ricky Vanasco is the worst relief pitcher in the history of the Tigers if not the MLB. 15.63 ERA and that doesnt include all the walks he has.

His WHIP is 3.23? How’s that even possible?

I would put a Rizz City softball pitcher into an MLB game before him. I’m not exaggerating

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

@HistorianUSA1 Brutally honest, but very accurate. Typical Kentucky Wildcat basketball fan

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Looks just like a Rizz City Softball play at the plate

@tigers @971theticketxyt @bet365_us This is one of the worst MLB lineups I have ever seen. Especially when you consider who is pitching. Unbelievable! Think I’m exaggerating?! 6 players, SIX in this lineup are batting .200 or worse! AAA teams are better than this

Fire Everyone NOW for being too Damn Stubborn!

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

1 of the most disrespected teams going into the 26 season:

Michigan State

This team was 2 blown 4Q leads away from winning 6 games and battled injuries all season

They are equivalent if not better at every position in 26

3.5 wins and 10.5 point spread vs Toledo is DISRESPECT

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

@tigers @WatchDSN @971theticketxyt @bet365_us This is easily the worst team and worst lineup in the MLB. Worst Tigers team since the 114 loss team in 2019

Btw why is hitless Zack Short STILL playing?

Fire Hinch and probably Harris. The farm system sucks too rn.

Highest payroll in the division and 100 losses. Inexcusable

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

Of course it’s Minnesota.

Can bet horses, pull tabs, and bet at Casinos. Can even buy weed and gender transition under 18

But oh no, you better not place sports bets or u will go 2 jail. Even tho even tho betting is legal in every bordering state

The Tribes occupy this govt

[John Gramlich @johngramlich]

"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has signed the nation's first law banning prediction market sites from operating in the state, the most far-reaching crackdown on massively popular services like Kalshi and Polymarket." (via @NPR) https://t.co/NbzLM2Q2Aq

If this is true, it’s a disaster. For context there were 800k fans in Pittsburgh this year. 600k in GB in 2025 with thousands outside unable to get in because they were at capacity

The draft is a fun event to attend. Still 2 years out. Hopefully they can work something out here

[Kevin Seifert @SeifertESPN]

There will be room for around 100,000 fans depending on the stage set-up at U.S. Bank Stadium, per Wendy Blackshaw, president/CEO of Minnesota Sports and Events. There will also be watch parties around the region that will count toward total attendance as well.

Made a few calls and talked to a few trustworthy sources in Wisco today close to the recruits. The 2026 Wisconsin basketball recruiting class is ROCK SOLID. SU reload. Trust Chef Buck and don’t worry about the BS transfer portal/On3 rankings/news

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

2026 is Coach Fades last year in Wisconsin. Enjoy Great Clips bud you will need it #chokepackchoke

[Chef Buck Picks @Buckspicks1]

The Detroit Tigers are the worst team in the MLB and it’s not particularly close.

Swept by the league worst New York Mets?

This team is going to finish last in the AL Comedy Central and lose 100 games

Highest division payroll and you do this?

Fire everyone NOW!!
