Nueva York – 5 de septiembre de 2025 – La segunda semana de la temporada de College Football ha sido marcada por resultados inesperados y una gran cantidad de oportunidades para apostadores. Deadspin ha elaborado un análisis detallado de las mejores apuestas en juegos clave, incluyendo la intrincada confrontación entre Illinois y Duke, el clásico “Cy-Hawk” entre Iowa y UNI, y el partido entre Michigan y Oklahoma.

Illinois vs. Duke: Un Viaje a la Zona de Doble Dígitos

El enfrentamiento entre Illinois y Duke, programado para el sábado, ha despertado un particular interés entre los analistas y apostadores. La victoria de Illinois en su primer partido contra Samford, que vio a la ofensiva de los Illini mostrar signos de mejora, ha propiciado que muchos se inclinan por una victoria, aunque con un margen ajustado. Duke, sin embargo, se muestra como un equipo con potencial ofensivo, y la casa de apuestas considera un margen de victoria de 3 a 4 puntos, lo que presenta una apuesta interesante. Los datos estadísticos indican que la clave del partido estará en la eficiencia del quarterback de Illinois, Jack Konkle, y en la capacidad de Duke para presionar al quarterback y forzar errores.

“Cy-Hawk”: El Clásico Continúa con Iowa Favorecido

El clásico “Cy-Hawk” entre la Universidad de Iowa y la Universidad de UNI se presenta como un duelo de potencia ofensiva. Iowa, liderada por su estrella en ascenso, el quarterback Joe Altmeyer, es ampliamente considerado el favorito. La defensa de Iowa ha demostrado ser particularmente sólida, lo que debería permitirles controlar el ritmo del partido. La victoria de Iowa se espera con un margen de 10 a 14 puntos, aunque la historia de este clásico es conocida por sus sorpresas, y la defensa de UNI podría presentar una defensa sólida que dificulte la tarea de Iowa. Los expertos se centran en la capacidad de Iowa para mantener la consistencia ofensiva y evitar errores costosos.

Michigan vs. Oklahoma: Una Prueba de Fuerzas para los Wolverines

El partido entre Michigan y Oklahoma en Ann Arbor representa una prueba de fuego para los Wolverines, que demostraron ser un equipo competitivo en su victoria inaugural. Oklahoma, con un ataque dirigido por el quarterback estrella, Caleb Walker, se muestra como un rival formidable. Las casas de apuestas evalúan la victoria de Michigan con un margen de 3 a 5 puntos, en gran parte debido a la ventaja de jugar en casa y al potencial de la defensa de Michigan para frenar el ataque de Oklahoma. El rendimiento de la línea ofensiva de Michigan será crucial, y la capacidad de la defensa de Michigan para crear presión sobre Walker será un factor determinante.

Conclusión:

La segunda semana de College Football ha ofrecido una variedad de opciones para los apostadores, con resultados que reflejan la competitividad y la incertidumbre inherentes al deporte. Los partidos clave, incluyendo Illinois vs. Duke, “Cy-Hawk”, y Michigan vs. Oklahoma, han presentado oportunidades interesantes para aquellos que buscan analizar estadísticas y tendencias para tomar decisiones informadas. La temporada apenas ha comenzado, y el análisis continuo será crucial para identificar las mejores apuestas y seguir el desarrollo de los equipos más prometedores.

Star of the reality show *McBee Dynasty*, Steven McBee Sr., has seen his sentencing repeatedly postponed. The delay now extends to October 16th, marking the fourth rescheduling for the case involving a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme.

McBee Sr., 52, was originally slated for sentencing in March, then again in June and September before the latest postponement. As part of the proceedings, a judge has ordered him to surrender three luxury watches – a Tag Heuer Formula 1, a Tag Heuer Grand Carrera, and a Rolex Daytona – to partially satisfy a money judgement. This action stems from a U.S. code allowing the court to seize assets linked to the alleged offenses. Authorities have identified additional assets belonging to McBee Sr. that weren’t directly tied to the initial fraud charges.

The case began in November 2024 when the U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Missouri charged McBee Sr. with federal crop insurance fraud. He’s accused of falsely reporting crop yields – approximately 674,812 bushels of corn and 155,833 bushels of soybeans – to an insurance provider in 2018, subsequently receiving over $2.6 million in federal crop insurance benefits and an additional $552,000 in premium subsidies. He also faced accusations of fraudulent reporting in 2019 and 2020, misrepresenting soybean crops as “the first crop in certain fields” while utilizing the same land for wheat production.

McBee Sr. pleaded guilty to the fraud charges and agreed to a restitution payment determined by the court. He waived his right to a grand jury and faces a potential sentence of up to 30 years in federal prison without parole.

McBee Sr. gained recognition through *McBee Dynasty*, which originally aired on Peacock. The show focused on McBee Farming Operations, which he managed with his family. After failing to secure venture capital funding in the first season, he stepped away, transferring McBee Farm & Cattle to Steven McBee Jr.

During Season 2, filmed for Bravo, Steven McBee Jr. revealed his father was under investigation by the FBI. “We’ve leaned into family. We take it day by day,” McBee Jr. told *Us Weekly* in July. “The situation is still ongoing. We’re hoping to have it wrapped up and have some finality to it before the end of the year. That’s the goal, just so we can move on and say, ‘OK, we’ve got this figured out. We can start life again now.’” *The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys* airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.

Golf has long been a sport of precision, but lately, a different kind of debate has been swirling around the PGA Tour: the use of AimPoint. Slow play has long plagued the PGA Tour, but nothing sparks debate like players using AimPoint to read greens. While critics say it worsens pace-of-play issues, Collin Morikawa and another player are defending the method.

On Thursday, Michael S.Kim, winner of the 2018 John Deere Classic, took to X to explain a simplified version of AimPoint. “Before you (get angry), I show you a way to do AimPoint WITHOUT straddling, and it’ll make your routine simpler and faster for some. Regardless, it’s a good thing to know. There’s a reason why so many pros use it. You’ll need a level that reads slope as a %.” He then went on to post a thread explaining the method and the basics.

But not everyone was on board.

Kim was met with immediate criticism, with one user even mocking AimPoint by comparing it to the outdated and widely discredited Plumb Bob method. That’s when Kim fired back, stating hilariously that the comment “rage-baited” him into a response and said, “Didn’t realize I needed to make this point. Aimpoint is not the same as a plumb Bob. Aimpoint actually works and plumb bob does not. Sasho Mackenzie even did a study on it showing it doesn’t work. You can find the study with a quick Google search.”

Clearly, Kim wasn’t about to let AimPoint get dragged through the mud, and he did it with a little humor and a lot of facts.

Michael Kim is probably one of the few players, like Morikawa, who has been vocal about his support for the AimPoint method. Earlier this year at the Genesis Invitational, Collin Morikawa was asked about AimPoint, especially after Lucas Glover publicly called for it to be “banned.” Glover was visibly frustrated when he said, “It needs to be banned. It takes forever. AimPoint, statistically, hasn’t helped anybody make more putts since its inception on the PGA Tour.”

That comment didn’t sit well with Morikawa, as he took a cheeky jab at Glover — “I don’t have anything against Lucas, but if we’re banning AimPoint, we should ban long-putters.” But Morikawa also backed the method, stating that it had helped him read the greens better. “From my perspective, AimPoint has 1,000 percent helped me. It’s just like reading something from behind the hole or behind the ball. That’s how I’m getting my general read for that,” he added.

But despite the benefits it may have provided to Morikawa and Kim, criticism has been growing louder against AimPoint, especially by some of the most recognizable names in golf. One of the most vocal critics of it has been Jim Nantz. He has never been shy about his disdain for the technique, especially when he boldly expressed on a podcast that he “can’t stand looking at it.” Even at the Genesis Invitational, he sarcastically quipped — “That’s not a new dance step he’s doing there, turning around, spinning around a couple of times. That’s AimPoint.”

Didn’t realize I needed to make this point. Aimpoint is not the same as plumb Bob. Aimpoint actually works and plumb bob does not.

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac didn’t hold back either. Around the same time, she too expressed her opinion, calling for a rather extreme measure against the technique — “Ban Aim Point. Trampling around the golf hole is not it.” Then came Brandel Chamblee, who brought data into the debate. Sharing Tour statistics, the analyst claimed that AimPoint has done nothing to improve putting outcomes — “On average players putt worse/make fewer putts over the last five years (2019–2024) than they did the first five years (2004–2008) of measurement and from every distance: 4–8 feet, 10–15, 15–20, 20–25 and >25 feet.”

But before dismissing AimPoint outright, it’s worth understanding where the system came from and why so many pros swear by it.

Why AimPoint might be fueling slow-play on the PGA Tour

This was not the first time Michael Kim’s use of AimPoint has drawn attention. At the RBC Canadian Open in June, Kim was reportedly told to “emulate Ryan Fox’s pace of play” — likely a not-so-subtle dig at how long his green-reading routine was taking. And let’s be honest, AimPoint can sometimes feel like a long and slow process. It’s mainly because for over 500 years, golfers have relied on a simple, time-tested method to read greens — just squatting behind the ball and visually surveying the slope of the putting surface.

But everything changed when putting coach and data analyst Mark Sweeney developed AimPoint. Originally, it was created as a tool for on-course TV analysts to improve broadcast accuracy, but it was immediately adopted by players for being reliable and accurate. Players like Keegan Bradley swear by the method. Bradley embraced the method in 2022 and, along with coach Phil Kenyon, vaulted into the top 20 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting within a year. It’s this kind of success story that keeps AimPoint’s loyalists fiercely defending the method, despite the growing chorus of critics concerned about its impact on the pace of play.

For those watching from the sidelines, it can look like a slow-motion dance around the hole, as Nantz hilariously pointed out. And given the pace-of-play problem plaguing the tour, it might actually be making it worse. But given that it has so many players vouching for it, one thing is for sure — AimPoint isn’t going away.

Who said Carson Beck’s move will result in Georgia’s downfall? Gunner Stockton is already silencing the critics. In the season’s first game against Marshall, Stockton led the Bulldogs to a dominant 45-7 victory, rising to the occasion when needed. Though consistent, a Georgia alum still want more from their depth. He’s urging Stockton to lean more towards his teammates and share the workload effectively.

The junior quarterback displayed his dual-threat capabilities, rushing for two touchdowns (13 and 11 yards) while also completing 14 of 24 passes for 190 yards. “It felt different,” Stockton said during the start of the season stepping into the No. 1 role. “Running out as the starter is a little different than hoping you’ll get in. I enjoyed everything about it.” His confident debut signals that Georgia’s offense could regain the versatility it lacked in previous seasons.

But it looks like Georgia’s alum and former WR Tavarres King isn’t satisfied yet. And it’s pretty evident after his response to Arron Murray as he hit him with a straight question on the Players’ Lounge podcast: “Who do you want to see more from in this game? Like, what guy are you saying?”>His response? “Bro, we all got to say the same player, bro. Come on now.” King said. To which Murray responded in shock, asking, “Who? Gunner.” And when King explains his take, “I mean, that’s number one, bro. Man had 190 yards versus freaking Marshall. Like, I get it.” Even Murray seemed pretty surprised as he defends Stockton, saying “80 yards rushing.” Yet for King it’s all about consistency. “I know, but that’s not going to be every game. We need to take advantage of all these great receivers we have, right?”
