I'm back!
Welcome to a series! Not only is this the first Wet Bets of the 30th season, but I hope to be able to do this at the start of every season!
Here's how it'll work: I will be putting an indicator after every game on every teams schedule. W will stand for win (obviously), L will be for loss (also obviously). If you see a equals sign (=), I will be putting those at the end. The equals sign means that I believe it can go either way, and I will do a little bit of an explanation as to why I think that. These will be going off of the season 30 O/U win totals found here. Let's get it started!

Games To Watch
Week 4: vs
The reason why I chose this game as a game to watch is pretty simple. It's going to be a matchup between the top 2 teams in the conference, based on my opinions and O/U odds makers. I chose the Yeti to win because A: I am a homer, and B: The Yeti defense is going to be extremely solid this season, most likely top 2 in the league. The way to beat Sarasota is to stop the offense. But it really could go either way, and I think it will decide the first place team in the NSFC, which is wild for such an early week game.
Week 6: vs
This game could really go either way. But since I have been in the league, Philadelphia has had a surprisingly strong control on the ground, both offense and defense. Austin is a team that can score in many ways, but the run game sets them up. If they can stop Watts and Jim The Vampire, I think Philly will win. Unfortunately, I don't think that Philadelphia will be able to hit the over on the season, but this will be a fun game to watch.
Week 9: vs
The Outlaws will, in my opinion, be top 2 in the ASFC, sharing that with New York. Aside from this being a great game, I think that Arizona will be able to pull it out. The only concern I have here is that Sarasota is at home, and they always seem to have a pretty abundant home field advantage. That, and the ability to slow down the Outlaw passing attack could give the Sailfish the edge.
Week 7: vs
See above, only that Arizona has the home field advantage. I think Berlin will be top 3 at the end of the season, but this is a game where the Outlaws will take without much fuss.
Week 8: vs
Now, I am much lower on Chicago than I think I should be. Madison Hayes is a great piece, and the defense is going to be able to stop some of the top offenses. In week 8 in Honolulu, I think that the Butchers will be able to put it all together. Unfortunately, this won't translate to much success in the rest of the season. But this will be a game to watch if you're a butchers fan.
Week 16: vs
I also think that I am much higher on Baltimore than I should be, the opposite of my thoughts on Chicago. But there are some great pieces there, and they should surprise some people this season. The final game of the season will be a little bit of a surprise win, as I think Orange County will be pushing for the third playoff spot. But I had to think that this will be a precursor to the future for the Hawks.
