Plenty of SHEET picks this week and that ain't no Sheet. I would have a very hard time coming up with picks for a week like this. That is, there's a LOT of 2 touchdown spreads this week and IMO those are the toughest spreads to beat.
This spreadsheet usually isn't so chalky, but when somebody tells me "too many favorites" I tellem, "Hey, thems win too".
Sheet's top picks for this week:
Purdue -17: One of the Sheet's top pick. I like this one myself.
Tex A&M -13 (if I can get this spread): I wrote about this one in tball's thread. Now that the computer likes it - count me in.
Georgia -14: Sheet likes this one A LOT. I always feel leary about going against a team that had so much hoopla from the pro cappers for the season and start off looking mediocre. Yeah, Florida beat them soundly but the fact that Florida continues to prove itself also makes me shy away from going against the Vols. Anyway, puter likes this play.
Arizona -3: Er... no thanks. Wish it woulda liked State instead.
Akron +2: My number cruncher has a crush on these Zippies, don't know why. Paid off last week but I ain't pushing my luck with a team I know nothing about.
Mizzou +2: Well, they're sure gonna like the "class drop" (yeah, I play the ponies too). Their QB has shoulder trouble but is scheduled to start. Don't matter to me cause the backup QB (Berkstresser) can do. He threw for 200 yds. to beat Zona St. earlier. I don't see Central running the ball at all vs. the Tiger defense and they're "turnoner prone" too. Like this game. Going for a little more scratch and taking the money line on this one.
Florida State -16: I got bad vibes with this game even though the computer isn't showing any sign of nerves whatsoever with this pick.
Nevada Reno -19: Even at that high no., which I usually steer away from, still looks like a wiener to me.
Nebraska - 11: Dang, another favorite :0
BTW, for last week - despite it's top plays I listed here (went 3 and 4), the Sheet's top 10 plays went 5 and 5. Like I wrote, it usually gets better as it gets additional data as the weeks go by. It uses ALL the previous week's data (taking into account it's ratings for each team a particular team played in each of it's previous week's games; that's the hard work part) It's record for prior seasons shows that it also will throw in a REALLY bad stink bomb week at ANY TIME... AND, it usually throws in one GREAT week at any time as well.
Good luck this week.
