    Week results: 57% (8/14) for +1.8 units. 

    USC game was a killer. California should have covered but didn't. Onto next week. Make sure to fade my likely upcoming pick of the month. 

    Hey McGuire, I feel like you are just on the edge of having that breakout week.  Cal screwed us, that defense and USC was absolutely painful to watch.  As good as both teams QB's are, it is going to be difficult not to fade them now.  The hardest thing to do is cap fairly right after difficult.  That's what separates you from the other guys!

    I think EMU even jumped out to a big lead, just tough breaks all over.  Just think how I felt being on Miami FL and turning the channel at 33-10 midway through the fourth quarter!

    Keep up the great work, look forward to seeing your week 4 early leans

    Yes I'm very frustrated with my first 3 weeks to say the least. 

    I don't necessarilly think USC is a fade team as much as they are an over team. Their offense was outstanding vs. Stanford. Scoring 31 points with 20 minutes of possession is unreal. They have Arizona State up next so that seems like an over play (gotta grab it early before market moves it up). You just have to factor that the SC defense in no way shape or form can be trusted anymore. Despite their amazing recruiting classes they just don't have NFL talent on the defensive side anymore. They really miss Leonard Williams too. 

    I still like Cal - they might have more market value after blowing that cover vs. Texas. Their game at Washington is interesting - Wash has some talent.

    Cal's defense is bad especially their secondary but their offense is elite. They have some tough games coming up - Utah, Ucla, Oregon on the road and USC at home
