Welcome to the college football week 2 recap, where I cover
what went right and what went wrong on the games that I picked. For the week my picks went 8-4, moving us to
12-9-1 through 2 weeks. Hopefully we can
keep some momentum going into week 3, but more on that later.
For the Thursday night game I thought Louisiana Tech was the
real deal, they just couldn’t get a stop when they needed it. It was a shame. This was the only game of the week that I
went against the computer generated value (was a -3). Lesson learned. 0-1; 4-6-1
Friday Night I was in on Utah. Thought I had this one, but they just couldn’t
pull away. The starting QB got hurt, and
the offense sputtered a bit after that.
They won the game, but just not by enough. Defense looks strong, keep them in mind for
some under/teaser play later on. 0-2;
4-7-1
Saturday we get into a different story. After the 2 weekday games I thought I was in
for trouble, but I trusted my system and went with the research. It worked as I was able to close out the week
at 8-2.
It all started with Michigan at noon. They struggled in the first half, but really
put it on the Beaver in the second half.
You could actually see the wind go out of the Beavers sail. Wonder why I keep saying Beaver? Cause I like saying Beaver. Michigan cruised for an easy victory. 1-2;
5-7-1
Kicking off the 330 games was Ole Miss. They got off to a hot start, cooled off for a
bit, and then relit the torch and finished with a devastating blow and a great
cover. Fresno State gave a valiant effort,
but in the end it’s hard to travel a couple thousand miles and play in front of
80,000+ screaming drunk people. That’s
the definition of a hostile territory when it comes to sports. 2-2; 6-7-1
Rutgers game should’ve been a victory. There was no reason to lose this game, except
that the Rutgers defense has more holes than swiss cheese, Budummp cha. I don’t blame the kids though, I blame the
play caller that put them in the prevent defense. Prevent defense doesn’t prevent shit. Give a good QB enough time to see who’s where
and he’ll pick a prevent apart. It
happens every fucking week. Don’t run
the prevent defense, just don’t fucking do it.
2-3; 6-8-1
I noted that Eastern Michigan and Wyoming were rated very
similarly and there was no reason for it to be a 13 point line. Then EMU not only covered, they pulled the
outright upset. Didn’t trail the whole
game. Dominated the game on the
road. This ain’t yo daddy’s EMU
squads. And you all laughed when I
picked them too 3-3; 7-8-1
Man Fuck Florida. I
over corrected for this team. Went
against them in week 1 and lost. Went
with them in week 2 and lost. I see a
trend developing, no more gambling on Florida unless I’m really sure. 3-4; 7-9-1
California showed up on Saturday. In this game I noted how good the Freshman QB
was in week 1, and he didn’t disappoint in week 2. Cal took control of this game from the
beginning, and never looked back. There
was no jeopardy of them not covering this game.
Good team to watch, might be able to get 1 more game out of them before
Vegas adjusts there number and we lose value.
4-4; 8-9-1
I asked if Texas A&M could beat Ball State by 5
touchdowns, and the answer was yes. A
very emphatic yes to be exact. Game was
covered/over by half time. Love the fact
they kept pedal down whole time. This
team is legit. 5-4; 9-9-1
I know everyone had to think I was crazy when I said to lay
the points with Texas. Well, I told you
so. This was the Texas team I expected in
week 1 against Notre Dame. This is the
Texas team you will see more out of.
6-4; 10-9-1
Like Fresno State travelling to Mississippi, Central Florida
was traveling across country. Except
they were going from Florida to Northern California, which is a much longer
flight. Sure it’s easier to travel west,
but this game didn’t kick off until 1030 at night for these kids normal
time. That took it’s toll, especially
after that big Stanford offensive line pounded on them for a few quarters. 7-4; 11-9-1
BYU did it again.
Back to back weeks as an underdog and winning outright. This one was another great game. They got a pick six at the end after they
took the lead to make the score a bit misleading. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very talented
team, but they’ve been pushed to the end on both games. Will be interesting to see how Vegas adjusts
them over the next couple of weeks. 8-4;
12-9-1
There you have it, that’s who covered and who I fucked up
on. Luckily I got more covers this
week. I’ll take the 66.67% for the week
as it brings the total to 57.14%.
Remember because of the juice you need to win 53% of the time to make
money. We’re doing that after week 2,
now lets get ready for week 3 and have another big week.
