The Hedgie

The Hedgie had another SCORCHING HOT Saturday going 9-1 Star weighted....Today will be careful and not cocky....

2026-10-18T09:56:17.362-04:00

A couple props to consider:

AZ WR - Kendrick Bourne OVER 29.5 receiving yards

Rams TE - Higbee OVER 33.5 Receiving yards

Hedgie NCAA Week 7

2026-10-17T08:48:48.041-04:00

Ohio St opened -3.5 and most of the money has come in on Indiana . The reasoning is that Curt Cignetti is the better coach. Ryan Day does not have a good track record on revenge games and Cignetti is 19-0 at Indiana at home. The line is now dropping to Ohio St -2.5 . Hedgie thinks Indiana is a bit down talent wise and Ohio St has the players to go on the road and win this one.

Ohio St/Indiana UNDER 50.5 - last yr's matchup was a 13-10 Indiana win. Hedgie sees this not too dissimiliar and in the low 40s.

UNC - Ga tech gave Belechik the recipe to slow down RB nate Sheppard. He has the defense to do it. There are mostly +3s but if you shop you might get +3.5

Colorado has not scored more than 14 points vs an FCS opponent this yr

Tennessee has a stout defense and string run attack. Both teams play a deliberate tempo. Grab the points

NFL WEEK 5 - a handful of 1 star games. Stay tuned for a later pick approx 3:30pm

2026-10-11T12:24:55.318-04:00

Steelers more of a fade vs the Colts and Daniel Jones

Vikings - Jefferson is a go and Saints QB Shough does not handle the blitz well

Raiders - are playing solid football and Pats have a ton of injuries

Bears HC Johnson has the coaching edge. Packers many injuries

Giants game is a low total and new HC Harbaugh will have his team ready. Take the points

The Hedgie stays safe and leaves his Pirate Ship in Tampa for Happy Valley.....(currently 17-4 Star weighted 🔥 )

2026-10-10T09:39:10.333-04:00

Boise has revenge on the mind. Last year Starting QB Maddux Madsen sustained an injured right ankle and toe injuries in the first quarter . They lost 30-7. Madsen is playing great football right now and has an 11-0 TD - INT ratio thus far. They've lost 3 straight to Fresno and Hedgie thinks that changes tonight.

Keep in mind many games will be affected by weather today as Hurricane Isaiis disrupts many games in the south .

Hedgie has an early 1 STAR release for NFL Thursday (Hint : another stinky dog)

2026-10-07T09:20:22.775-04:00

Rookie Jalon Daniels is making his 2nd start and will hopefully be a little more comfortable. Todd Bowles as Bucs HC is 4-0 ATS when he's an underdog or 7.5 points or more . Hedgie trusts he'll stop the run and scheme a way to slow down the hot cowboy offense just enough.

1 STAR

NFL Week 4 - The Hedgie was 10-2 Star Weighted yesterday !

2026-10-04T11:03:09.005-04:00

Yesterday Hedgie went 5-1 ATS. and 10-2 Star Weighted and is looking to keep it going.

NY JETS +4 : Jets defense is playing well and Bears starting QB will be Tyson Bagent

TITANS +12 : Ravens return from long trip to Brazil and potential flat spot here. Titans are 0-3 but still playing hard and their D Line is their strength going up against Ravens OLine missing their top Center and backup center.

Dolphins +10 : Vikings without Jefferson . Low total at 38 here Hedgie happy to take a double digit dog

Pats +7 : Drake Maye has been terrible but Hedgie thinks Vrabel will have his team fighting hard and ready for this divisional matchup

Raiders +5 : The Raiders are 3-0 also and Kirk Cousins is managing this team well . The Raiders defense is good and the Chiefs have a tendency to play close games.

Lions/Panthers OVER 51 : Both defenses are terrible . The Lions have given up Touchdowns to 6 TEs so far this year. Panthers WR Coker is injured so TE Waller becomes a big target .

Hedgie NCAA WEEK 5

2026-10-03T09:37:16.877-04:00

NFL WEEK 3 - Hedgie celebates a 7-3 Star Weighted Saturday

2026-09-27T11:09:19.930-04:00

Some extra notes:

- Be Careful of the Ravens /Cowboys game in Brazil. The turf is a real problem .

- 49ers Bosa is not playing

Hedgie NCAA Week 4

2026-09-26T10:42:05.829-04:00

Is Texas truly #1 in the Country ? Last year they were 0-5ATS on the road.

USC/Oregon's offenses are humming.

Lousiville has a dominant advantage in the trenches on rushing

Michigan Oline is banged up. Iowa's D is staunch

Georgia St also dominant rushing advantage vs N Illinois who is 0-3ATS this season

Hedgie coming off a 5-1 STAR WEIGHTED SUNDAY - will play tonight's game

HEDGIE NFL WEEK 2

2026-09-20T09:56:30.874-04:00

Try and shop for lines ! yesterday Hedgie got a push on Colorado st +18 as an example but suspect not everyone did. These add up . Vikings +5 is kind of a dead number but still always worth shopping. Steelers Pierce is out so some money is leaning more Pats +6 will be out there . Saints is +8.5 and thats fine but Hedgie always happy to keep shopping for the extra half.

Don't love this week. Stay tuned for a teaser play and some player props after noon !

Hedgie NCAA. Week 3. - late play addition

2026-09-18T23:10:49.978-04:00

Texas A&M heavily favored may be caught looking ahead to LSU next week...

Colorado St dual threat QB will make this game interesting

Louisville @ home tilts the scales

UNC the better team (Clemson's QB struggling mightily)

Terps D playing great . Don't trust 'Big Game James' taking his Hokies on the road

Feature Game of the week , Lane Kiffin knows how to create controversy. Love him or hate him , he's entertaining. Lane listed his QB on the injury report earlier in the week ( shenanigans) He's hired extra security ( rightfully so ). The team stayed in Memphis to avoid he rowdy crowds and heckling. And even earlier in the year , he tried to bring on some former NFL players onto his roster and rather than utilizing some of his $91 million contract to hire smart attorneys. He relied on CHATGBT to guide him ! Many consider him a savant when it comes to in-game play calling and he's very good at what he does. But Hedgie here is going to side with the Better QB and the Home DOG .

OLE MISS +3 only 1 STAR

HEDGIE MNF - WEEK 1

2026-09-14T17:50:16.594-04:00

The Hedgie is gonna sit back and watch the 2nd leg of his teaser ( Texans +7.5 & Broncos +9) teaser play out. For fun a Player Prop.

WR Cortland SUTTON OVER 41.5 receiving yards : all the attention is on the shiny new star WR Waddle while Hedgie likes the comfortable connection between QB Nix and his big reliable WR on the road with a relatively low total.

NFL WEEK 1

2026-09-12T23:26:53.352-04:00

Lets also try a couple PROP Plays :

J. Taylor OVER 75.5. rushing yards

A Rodgers UNDER 212.5 Passing Yards

Reasoning :

Colts - DT Nnamdi Madubuike — out with a neck injury. This should give QB Jones a cleaner pocket and allow for RB Taylor to have more success. If can only get +3. drop play to 2 stars . Still homedog angle a good one.

Vikings - Minnesota’s disguised pressure and home crowd should test Green Bay’s banged-up offensive line

Saints - Shough’s accurate short passing can keep New Orleans competitive—and the full touchdown leaves room for a late cover.

NCAA WEEK 2

2026-09-12T12:10:03.485-04:00

late post ( apologies). hurry if you can get Michigan still..

The Michigan play was based on pure "overreaction' from Week 1.

3:30pm - Pitt has a legit QB and offense and should roll at home ....

The Hedgie escaped with the hook last night with +3.5.....Tonight another play down under

2026-09-10T16:17:10.417-04:00

The 49ers made the trip early and have been acclimating for a week while the Rams flew Tuesday . The 49ers brought the star TE Kittle who will play while the Rams will be without DT Aaron Donald. Arguments to be made for both teams but The Hedgie has watched this line go from Rams -2.5 to -4 and thinks there's some good value on the underdog 49ers.

Hedgie NFL Week 1 Opening night !

2026-09-09T19:31:59.588-04:00

The Hedgie is officially back.

We said we’d start slowly this season, and we mean it.

Tonight we’ll take the points with New England.

PATRIOTS +3.5 ⭐⭐

New England has had all offseason to think about that Super Bowl loss. The Pats have upgraded the weapons around Drake Maye, and getting more than a field goal feels like enough in a game that should be much tighter this time around.

No need to get crazy on Night One.

Patriots +3.5 — 2 Stars

New hip. Same instincts.

The Hedgie — Est. 1997

The Hedgie is Back !

2026-09-05T11:29:30.039-04:00

THE HEDGIE IS BACK
New Hip. Same Instincts.

ARKANSAS +11.5 — ⭐⭐
LIBERTY +6 — ⭐

Small start. No need to force the start of the season.

Every ⭐ is a bet. The number of stars tells you how much Hedgie likes it. And yes — his own hard-earned money is on every one.
