The day is finally upon us!

4 picks to get the season going:

Falcons +1, I like what they are building in Atlanta and think we see some regression for Tampa.

browns/bengals over 48, having the stars of bengals take more game snaps in pre season will pay dividends. Their defense is still suspect

Jets +3, ready for washed up Rodger’s to go away. Fields has a big game on the ground and they take the W

Parker Washington over 11.5 yards, I’m not sure what to expect with my jags, but I think this is a gift. Washington had a great pre season, and defense will key on Thomas and hunter leaving Washington free for 1 or 2 catches to go over this number.

Good luck to all today

Couldn’t have been worse last week, sheesh…

iowa +3.5, think they win a lower scoring game with Iowa state struggling to make big plays

cuse/uconn over 57, tailing a couple other on here, think this is in the 60’s pretty easily 

Penn state-42, Franklin will run up the score today

jax state +6.5, gut feeling they hang tough 

unc -13.5, bill gets his first win in a big way. They aren’t as bad as they looked against tcu and the frogs are pretty good

good luck to all!

And the cyclones have Iowa on deck next week. Think this is a tight game with upset chance for SD.

3 picks for today

texas +3, got this one early, think it’s a tight game and the Texas d makes enough stops to  win the game. 

South Dakota +15, cyclones coming off the trip and big win in Ireland, prolly had too much Guinness and now have to play an FCS game, before playing in state rival Iowa next week. Expect a sluggish effort and South Dakota could even pull the upset 

bama -14, this will be the last season opener for norvell as the FSU coach. Bama will pull away late as they suffocate the Noles offense.  I’d be surprised if noles break 14 points. Would lean under as well

best of luck to all on this beautiful day!

Michigan +7, gut feeling harbaugh finally gets over the hump in snowy Ann Arbor 

mich st/Penn state 1st half under 25.5-poor weather and slow start for both teams

kentucky +3, better team, home field not a big deal for cards

bama-19(bet early in week)-tide smash auburn before getting beat down next week against Georgia 

Boston college+5, the beat down wake took last week gives them a big hangover here, eagles win

oregon state +7, can Oregon recover after getting steamrolled by Utah? I think not.

good luck all, my favorite weekend all year!

Let’s go for 2 good weeks in a row:

fsu+17

fsu over 64.5

kent st -5.5

air force -5

ole miss over 6

west Virginia +3

ecu +10

lookin at a couple others. Good luck!

@Rod_Steve2

 Tennessee +3

georgia -16.5

pitt -3

kent state -17

fsu -5.5

Texas tech +7

wake forest over 63

One game under 50% subpar week. Less games this week, and just picks. Here we go so far:

michigan-1

ole miss +14.5

la tech +21

will have a few more. Good luck

@Rod_Steve2

 1-0 start to the week

middle tenn +3:like the blue raiders outright

Average week, had some great picks(ole miss, Fresno, rajin Cajuns), bad picks (Ohio state, Miami, Oklahoma, Georgia southern), and a couple that could have gone either way.  

on to week 4:

Marshall +7.5: was against them last week as I thought it was a bad spot for them, but think they rebound this week. Back and forth type game with home team pulling out a close one. 34-30 app state

michigan-20: could it be they are legit this year? Maybe not, but they are clocking right now and talent gap vs a well coached Rutgers team will be too much. 44-17 Michigan 

Iowa state -7: should we be excited that Baylor beat Kansas? Nope. Cyclone roll after there get right game. 41-24 ISU

A&M -5: I’m not ready to buy the hogs even though I lost against them last week. The aggies have a legit D and I see this being a low scoring affair, but a big turnover is the difference. 27-17 aggies 

Oregon state +13: bad spot for USC against a competitive beavers team. 31-27 Trojans 

wake forest/Virginia over 68.5: I really like wake forest this year, but think this a last team who gets the ball wins in back and forth scoring affair. 41-38 someone

leans: auburn, Nebraska, Colorado state?, middle tenn state

thoughts, discussion and feedback welcome!

2-0 start to the week

add-ons:

miami-6: flipped on this pick from where I originally was going. Miami has had 2 tough games, mich st, not so much. Spartans wilt in the heat by end of game. 31-20 Miami 

ECU +10: they put a full game together and stay within the number. 27-21 herd

considering adding on to the Ohio state game, really like that play. Think it gets ugly.

good luck to everyone today!

@TRAIN69

 1-0 after last night

another half unit degen play tonight:

ucf/ville over 67-not expecting a defensive showcase here, just need these guys to finish drives and this should end in the 70’s. 41-34 ucf

looking at a couple more for tomorrow to finish the card. 

@UNIMAN

 Hot and humid with rain likely in Florida. I’d bet the bama-uf game sees a weather delay at some point.

Missing that over in Oregon game hurt, with you on that…go Cajuns 

@Fp0688

 I could see Tulsa struggling to score. The buckeyes defense will be motivated to play well based off their last 2 performances, so we will see. 

Adding:

Georgia Southern +23: Terrible spot for Arkansas. Coming off a HUGE emotional win against Texas, and now facing a non traditional team in Georgia Southern, that happens to be sandwiched with Texas A&M last week. Can't think of many worse spots, think they come out a bit flat and struggle to pull away from Southern. 30-22 Hogs

Louisiana ragin cajuns -19: Small half unit degenerate play. These guys have terribly underperformed so far, but the same players are there from last year that had great success. Ohio has been pretty abysmal, and no reason to think they are suddenly going become a cohesive unit. Cajuns get it going tonight with a big win. 38-10 Cajuns

@incognegro

 I keep wanting to pull the trigger on Michigan state, but something is keeping me away. Miami has looked awful, but I have a feeling they play well here?…

@OlDirtyBaztid

 Wyoming hurt last week…

missed the ducks over by 1 point

Missed penn state, ball state over by 1 point

and then overplayed as well and made some poor selections. 

better results coming this week!

Started off week 1 well, tanked last week…. 

like the slate this week, here’s what we got so far:

Ohio state -25: they will score early and often on Tulsa, who left it all on the field against the pokes. Yes the buckeyes D is questionable, but they are covering by over 2 scores in the 4th to protect against back door cover. 47-17

kent state +22.5: Iowa coming off the huge emotional win last week against a capable MAC team. Iowa starts slow before pulling away late, but not enough for the cover. 31-13

ole miss -14: lots of love for Tulane in this game after the strong showing against the Sooners. Tulane is talented, but no way they duplicate the energy and emotion they had for that game. Too much talent and speed on ole miss. 44-20

texas A&M -29: think jumbo gets the run game going with spiller and Achane. Will be a long day for New Mexico as the talent gap is very large. 52-10

fresno +11.5: UCLA hype is out of control after beating an average LSU team. Fresno is battle tested after a big game with the ducks in week 1, and UCLA looking ahead a bit to Stanford. Not calling for the upset, but this will be a 4th quarter game. 30-24 bruins 

oklahoma-22: Nebraska is bad, and mistake prone. Martinez can’t hit open receivers, him and Milton from Tennessee should hang out. Emotion may keep them in this for a bit, but this game is over in the 3rd quarter. 49-20, lean over as well

Other leans still looking at: Boston college(waiting on line to settle), miss st., Georgia southern, East Carolina.

good luck to everyone this week!
