I finally was able to free up some time to handicap college football this week. Let's see if that translates into more auspicious results.
Looks like I went 3 & 3 last week, and 2 & 1 on Best Bets. I hate trying to keep track of my overall NCAA record, but I come up with 17 & 17 overall, and 7 & 3 on my Best Bets.
For the second consecutive week, I lost the Alabama OVER by a half of a point. Like I have been saying since before the season began, the only thing that will prevent Alabama from covering, and their games from going OVER the total is Nick Saban. So when it comes to Alabama games, I feel as though I'm not handicapping the match-up as much as I'm handicapping recess of Saban's mind. For example, if Saban wants to beat Jimbo by 4 touchdowns this week, then it'll happen.
With respect to Alabama, I will reiterate what I said pre-season. In the Saban era, prior to the arrival of Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama has never had an elite QB. AJ MCCarron was closest thing Alabama had. Under Saban, Alabama has always had the weapons. They have just not had a QB that could take full advantage of that talent. The last two seasons Alabama probably had the worst QB play in Division I football, yet was still playing for national championships. Just as I explained before the season began, with an elite QB like Tua, Alabama will make an absolute mockery of college football. Nto only will they not lose a game with Tagovailoa, I doubt any team in college football can stay within two touchdowns. Yes, Saban has pretty ruined college football. Bet accordingly.

Last week I was 2 & 3 on posted NFL plays, and 1 & 1 on Best Bets. I do quite a few teasers in the NFL, and this week sets up nicely for one. I've done two so far this season, and hit them both.

Best of Luck Brother Nice looking card ....My Father and I Believe this year's Alabama squad could be one of the Greatest teams of all time. ..He echos what you're saying verbatim......
Alabama's new level of dominance, which is to say they actually have a competent QB, is probably not good for the college football brand, but if we want to win money as gamblers, we must deal with reality. But, clearly, Alabama has taken a lot of the mystery and, by extension, fun out of college football.
Great to hear from you D4L. Hope all is well with you.

I was just about to post N.C. State as well- their QB should have a field day against a leaky Marshall secondary- GL this week!p.s.- Urban - what does your card look like?
I have two teams on my card that I think are undervalued - Cincinnati and NC State.
