Week 2: 29-18 +64.8
Season: 52-44 -32.5

Will start dissecting week 3 today or tomorrow. Last week's early thoughts did me well. 2 quick things stood out at me here...

I think the Buffs trounce the Rams.

WTF with the UCLA line? Did BYU lose their QB or something?

I don't know, but I thought the UCLA line was a little high also? I just thought I'd watch it and see if it would go to 17; who knows, I sure can't tell which way a line is going to go; I took Illinois +7.5 early and it's up to 10.5 today! :facepalm:

That UCLA line is nuts to me - and I really like their team. Tough to get a gauge on this Illini team yet, but tough not to like the points there I suppose.
Some more quick thoughts...

Umass in a good spot vs Temple
If Ville gets to 7, I def jump on it. Still a play regardless.
Missed Wake, but they should truck Army
Cuse is awful and got lucky last week - prob fade them with the relatively small number here
Slow start for La Tech last week in a tough spot, but i think they can win outright at KState
Navy
Miss at a TD is intriguing
Chuckie and the boys should get a win at horrific Washington
Arky def a play
Tech being favored at ND is telling. ND may not be that good. I could actually see a comfortable with for GT
Memphis another surprising road fave - I may bite on that
Buffs rolll
That Texas line is silly - but disrespected home dog or nothing for me here
I can't give SMU that many points

Always appreciate your insight sir, and agree on most.

What is your thinking on the Buffs/Rams game and why do you expect Colorado to dominate?

Cheers

Quickly, Colorado opened the season in a very tough spot against a not horrible Hawaii team. Then, they were actually quite impressive in destroying a UMass team that I am higher on than most. CSU got Minny in a really tough spot and couldn't even close with a win. The Rams simply don't have the firepower to keep up in this game. I really just think the Buffs will run all over them. But, I've been wrong a few times before. Oh yeah, that line. Give me a break. What constitutes Colorado being a 4 point fave at CSU. This line could have been made all the way up to CSU -2 IMO - but they opened it high. I say for a reason. We shall see

Tonight, the line tells you to hammer Clemson. I get that. But I'm not sold.

Ville with 2 tough losses to Auburn and an underrated Houston team. The sandwich between Clemson and AUburn was a rough spot for Ville to bring their A game and the Cougs took advantage. Now, with their backs against the walls in prime time at home, we have a chance to revive a season quickly. Petrino will have them more than ready. They certainly have the talent to get it done - on both sides of the ball.

I'm not entirely buying Clemson. They still choke in big games. They were still only 18.5 point home faves against App St. - tells me they aren't as good as people are now giving them credit for.

I think Ville wins tonight. Probs under too, but problem with that play for me, is I think if Clemson wins, it goes over, so i won't pull the trigger on the total. Maybe a HT reversal play on the total

I won't count this one in my record, but I LOVE these odds on this par...

The total jumped by a full run by the time I made my play - don't care...


3.5 to win 30

Football #104 Louisville +175 for Game
Baseball #913 Houston Astros -117 for Game
Baseball #913 Houston Astros/Texas Rangers over 9? -115 for Game

Dookies put in on the Cats early Saturday.

Indiana beats WKy and goes way over... I'm thinking think 52-42 type game.

ASU -14 1H 10 units

I get that NMex should be the play, but I can't do it. Although this is sort of a flat spot for the Sun Devils, it's at home in primetime and they have been very bad so far this season. I think they come out very fired up.

I like FSU and was watching the line plummet - then Boom, back up to 9. Now I will wait and see. There was way too much BC love for me this week. I think FSU has struggled there. FSU has definitely looked weak so far, but BC may just be awful
