I was completely wrong with Oregon and on the wrong side of that game, my other 3 losses were by a combined 6.5 points, so that is now a total of 4 losses on the year by a combined 9 points, I'm going to be on the right side of some of those numbers eventually so can't get bent out of shape at this point, just part of the deal
What I learned from Week 2 Games
Chip Kelly was one of the best offensive minds in college football the past few years but it appears he is suited to be a coordinator, not a head coach, his team is heavily penalized and they show no accountability, the Ducks look bad right now in most areas
USC's offensive coordinator cost USC the cover last night and almost the game, his play calling was a joke, it kept the Slowkeyes in the game and Pete C will need to get things ironed out with him as the season goes forward or they will lose to a team they shouldn't lose to, they already miss Steve S as he appears to be a coaching mastermind at UW right now
Houston is a better football team than Georgia, they basically did what they wanted to against Oklahoma St, I watched UGA play South Carolina last night and those powerful SEC defenses were looking wonderful as usual, the Cocks scored 7 points against NC St and UGA scored 10 points against Okie St and they both scored 40 against each other
UCLA got a big win in a brutal environment, props to them for traveling cross country to take out the Vols for a 2nd straight year, that dope coaching Tennessee deserves what he gets after making such arrogant statements about beating the Bruins all week, suck on that SEC, take Florida out of their conference and they are just another conference, maybe ESPN will get the clue and actually give another conference some credit for once
I'm done laying the big number with Texas, they look sloppy
Florida is so good I'm not sure who can compete with them, most likely nobody, that team is simply loaded
Colorado is a laughable program and Hawkins is done
Tulane, New Mexico and Miami Oh should all be Division II this year, they couldn't beat alot of the high school teams I see here in Texas
Cincy can flat out score and Brian Kelly can coach, they may win at Oregon St if Pike continues to play well
Penn State's players on are on the take, thank God I have bet that team so far, think what you want, but don't be surprised if some allegations come along soon, sort of like what happened with Toledo, I will be against them on heavy favorite lines the rest of the season most likely, some funny stuff going on in their games
Utep is very bad against good teams, KU was easy money
Kent St is..........well Kent St...........BC was easy money
Georgia Tech is a terrible favorite over teams with good athletes and Clemson is a better team than them, I could have got the cover in that game but I didn't have the better team
Florida St should be ashamed for hyping themselves, they suck
UNC looked awful on offense and will have to shape that up if they expect to compete for an ACC title
My Top 5
Florida
Texas
USC
Alabama
California
I will not be posting plays tonight, I'm going to wait until Thursday or so to bet this week, the only way I post a play tonight is if I see a must play favorite
Best of Luck

love your analysis and posts but dont think psu players are fixing the games even tho i am sure games are fixed. last two games they have had the ball and about to score and its not as if they didnt try with the clock running out. in fact paterno did call a play, albeit a fullback dive but time just ran out on them. i think yestrday those big east officials had a big stake in the cuse, a pi call against moye was a joke and so was about 3 other calls. one of the worst officiated games i have ever seen. plus psu isnt showing much against those cupcakes they are prepping for iowa since august

Penn st just isn't that great of a team to be winning by 30 + every game. And Paterno isn't the type to run up the score on people, although some of his teams have been dominant enough to do just that. Just not this team.

If they are not on take; they should be, becuase they play that way and they might as well get paid for it

"I'm done laying the big number with Texas, they look sloppy"
'I might be in a minority in this forum; but I think Mac Brown is overrated coach.. Recruiting at Texas requires a pulse, thats all. You can pick and choose from enough all star atheletes to stock an entire conference just in that state. His teams are rarely prepared for games; and I see no signs of anybody being coached up.
Nice Post Wahoo

Completely agree Wahoos, waiting for week 3. too many inconsistent teams so far. I hope the things change while the season goes. I just hit OSU +7 yesterday.

Anyone else notice that there was not a single holding penalty on OHIO STATE all night (at least that I remember), but USC was called for holding ON FIRST down FOUR TIMES? Strange.

Yeah, so much for my belief that Mack Brown will go all out to cover the big number for the backers.
And I agree with Bates' play calling for USC. He could've used the speed advantage of the USC backs to do more sweeps because this could've worn down the OSU D to the extent they could've eventually broken one for a TD. Yes, the OSU D stuffed alot of those runs, but those moves were alot more effective than running between the tackles. We've been lambasting Tressel for his conservative play calling, but I think USC was too conservative with Barkley. Maybe the INT freaked them out and figured it was better to put the clamps on him. Oh, well, USC won and hopefully, they'll run the table so we can finally get them in the BCS championship against an SEC team.

Enjoy reading your posts, Wahoo! Good stuff. Agree whole heartedly with Texas and PSU. Penn screwed me two weeks in a row, I'm done laying points with them for the rest of the season.

I like your analysis! Although , I won one parlay and 4 single bets, my last parlay was killed by Utah who could of covered but choose not too! I totally agree some of these games are pre-determind ahead of time! Utah was on the take! They way they played was so obvious! I believe the sportsbooks and the NCAA have a secret partnership between them! All the money was placed on USC last night! They Couldnt do shit all night but when it came down to it they moved the ball with ease and scored! Thats another one to look at! I will be way more cautious when betting next time!

Agree with most of what you said. I've yet to see PSU play, but it just seems to me that they shut it down with the lead.
The UT lines have been high, I think that with them being 0 for ATS there should be some value coming our way. I havent touched them yet this year, but have been waiting for the right chance.
Good stuff.
