Today’s Best Bets: The Cats

Just college football today. We’ll get back to Feast Week tomorrow.

It’s a huge list, but this is what Movelor likes, and we’re at the point in the year where we trust Movelor. Downgrading units where there’s an injury concern, or where we’re not quite as confident. Upgrading units for the Cat–Griz game. Montana State’s been playing the best football in the FCS lately.

I am only roughly 90% confident in these numbers. At some point we’ll get that Google Sheet up which tracks all our bets this year.

2025–26: –522.50 units (started with 1,000-unit bankroll)

2025–26: –6% average ROI (weighted by unit; sample size: 927 single-game markets plus four completed futures portfolios)

Pre-2025: 0% average ROI (worse when limited to only sports)

Units taken from best odds we can find at major sportsbooks available to most Americans.

These bets are not investment advice. If you’re worried you or someone you know might have a gambling addiction, call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential help.
