The J-Dub Gambling Challenge 2025: The “Saturdaius Tandem” Edition

Now that we find ourselves at the end of college football’s regular season, it is time to look at how I’ve fared against the sages in the desert. While the final weekend’s action will be the ultimate determinant, so far it has been a bull market in 2025. The J-Dub Gambling Challenge Bankroll currently stands at $7,448 up from the original $5K, thanks in large part to last weekend’s big score. Even my blog brother from another mother SportsChump knew the line on his alma mater Florida was a gift.

The only question for this weekend is did it come with a gift receipt…and am I headed for the return desk?

The Dubsism Legal Department…complete with extra cheese.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER (mandated by our very own Small Town Pizza Lawyer):

Thanks to the Supreme Court, gambling is no longer illegal at Bushwood, sir. However, the Supreme Court can’t really help me unless one of them is willing to keep Mrs. J-Dub from braining me with a cast-iron skillet if she found out how many dimes I’m dropping on college football.

That means that as far as she knows, all wagers are mythical in nature and this is in no way, shape, or form a gambling advice column. In other words, if you lose your own “real” money, that’s nobody’s fault but yours, so don’t yell at me when we meet at the plasma center on Monday.

If you think you have a gambling problem, go find the 800 number on your own. I’m not a goddamn public service announcement.

The Almost Always Punitive Purdue Bet

Since I live in the heart of Big Ten country, almost literally in the shadow of Ross-Ade stadium, those around me who know I’m a gambler will invariably ask me about the Boilermakers, so I might as well bet on them…

Indiana (-28.5) at Purdue O/U5 57 $100 Under

The Royally Ridiculous Line of the Week

Introduced by our own guest columnist King George VI (the grandfather of the current King Charles III), this feature is all about the line of the week that’s so outrageous, it’s almost as crazy as we Americans find the idea of a monarch.

Iowa (-6) at Nebraska O/U 38 $100 Under

The Dubsism College Football Heavyweight Champ Bet:

We went back to the very first college football game in 1869, and the premise is simple…you’re the champ until somebody beats you. The current champion is the Stanford Cardinal.

Notre Dame (-32.5) at Stanford O/U 50.5 $50 Stanford

J-Dub’s Payday of the Week:

It’s like the game says…the idea is to hang on to your cash. That means this is the “big play” of the week; the one that should make today “Payday.”

Alabama at Auburn (-6) O/U 46.5 $2,000 Alabama
