Too few or too many

On vacation - Week No. 2.

I can best judge my "feel" for the season, and determine my corresponding confidence level for "pulling the trigger" on my plays, not from my wins or "bottom line" record, but from reviewing how few or how many of my plays are way off the mark (and it's obvious I was cluless). My feel and instincts over the last month or so have been about right where I like them for possibly the first time in the last two seaons. So this week's card has a fair number of games I have an opinion on, so i'll play a few more than usual, and won't be at all disappointed if it's tough beats rather than clueless opinions that tell the story.

Later on when time permits I'll add a few observations/comments/links/etc. on my various plays.


Michigan State(-4) over Michigan (1.5*)

UCLA(+17') over California (1*)
- - The Fighting Tedford's have issues that ain't being answered but need to be before I can find any value in expecting this trouncing.


San Jose State(+7) over Boise State (1*)
