Mike Hart: 33 yd run, 8 other carries for 20 yds. Against a 1-AA team. But hey, you give any team at any level in the country a few weeks to prepare for Michigan's offense...

 

First 14 minutes and change:

 

App St QB - 5/5, 102 yds, 2 TD

team averaging 4.2 per carry

157 total yards

 

Gotta love the annual overrank of Michigan. #3 my ass.

So far:

 

Virginia Tech looks BRUTAL on offense.

Colorado has NO defense.

Michigan is getting beat by Appalachian State.

 

Kind of a rough start to the day.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Michigan was not going to cover many spreads this year. Unfortunately, today may let the cat out of the bags and the lines will probably be adjusted accordingly going forward. This team is the most over rated team Michigan has had in at least 15 years. That alone says a lot since they have been over rated numerous times. You can put Manning, LT, Harrison, and TO in a Lloyd Carr offense and they will struggle to score 30 points (especially on the road). The defense lost a ton of players, so they aren't going to be stopping too many teams. The secondary is always over-rated. Leon Hall was the worse CB ever drafted in the first round of the NFL draft.

0-2 Thursday night. Good to know today can't be any worse...well, unless I pick more than two games.

 

It's a marathon, not a sprint, so let's see if we can simply keep contact with the pack:

 

Cal -6.5

 

GT +1.5

 

Wyoming +4.5

 

All plays are for 1 unit.

 

Good luck to all!

NCAAF YTD: 4-1-0 +1.5 units

NFL YTD: 0-0-0 0 units

Nice pick on BC philly. i wont even pretend that i know any thing about CFL. If you are ever in the Bay Area, I owe you dinner (lobster, prime rib, you name it).

 

Here are my picks for tomorrow...

 

WEST VIRGINIA/WEST MICHIGAN o56 2 units

Too many key losses on defense for the Mountaineers. I am tempted to bet against public on W. Mich but cannot take a new QB this early in season, especially against WV's record ATS at home. Nevertheless, W. Mich should capitalize at least twice against a shaky D. Over is 7-1 in WV last 8 games on Turf. Over is 16-5 in WV last 21 home games. Over it is.

 

EAST CAROLINA @ VIRGINIA TECH -27.5

Not playing this as it just doesn't feel right after the tragedy.

 

MARSHALL @ MIAMI FLORIDA -17.5
1 unit

Marshall's special teams is going to give up at least a few quick FG's or scores. Their weak Def will not be able to stop the run of returning RB James. I worry about the half point, but still cannot find a reason to take Marshall against an underrated Miama FL D.

 

COLORADO ST +2.5 @ COLORADO
2 units

Lack of passing attack expected from Colorado again this year. Also, Colorado has been outscored in last quarter by more than 50% vs. opponents and also victim of 30+% more penalties. Colorado St will keep it close again this year and hopefully follow trend of underdog 10-1 ATS.

 

TENNESSEE U @ CAL -6
2 units

Revenge game at home against my Bears. Go Bears. I'm sure of it
:cheers:

 

GEORGIA TECH + 1.5@ NOTRE DAME
2 units

I would not be suprised if ND does not break .500 this year. I am tempted to take moneyline here.

 

WAKE FOREST +6 @ BOSTON COLLEGE
2 units

I believe WF will surprise again and they are hungry to get respect against a formidable BC team. They will cause more penalties with their misdirections, hard counts, and a wiser returning QB. Note: BC RB not at full strenght with hamstring injury and loss of LB Francois.

 

BAYLOR @ TCU -21
2 units

TCU has been a fav of mine for past two years and I'll continue to ride them against a perennial loser.

 

CONNECTICUT -4.5 @ DUKE
1 unit

ARIZONA/BYU u46.5
1 unit

HOUSTON @ OREGON -16
1 unit

 

Will add more Sat afternoon/night plays later. Goodluck all

 

Dangit.. updating Cal for 2 units instead of 3 since I fumbled the bet last night. Only put 2 units. I may add unit back later. Colorado St. is looking good.. hopefully they keep pouring it on.
:overhead:

col st looking good. starting to Dominate

 

Rams trying to blow it for bettors by giving up the 2 pt conversion, followed by the horrific decision to go for 4th down at mid field.

 

Fortunately, the INT gives them the ball back with a chance to atone for the last couple minutes.

Also, way to fail ESPN. Don't EVER show the Michigan game, upset of the year. Lets stick with a 40-pt game instead!

Agreed. That pissed me off. :shocking:

Tatunca! Tatunca! Buff! Buffalo! Got to love a half point 4 unit winner!

 

FANTASTIC....win by the half point on a 3 unit :shocking: Glad I got it in early as my site had the line at - 3 before kickoff.

My wife just got home with groceries. She was suppose to get me a 12 pack and some stuff to make chili. Instead she brought a subway sandwich, cheetos and a sprite.

 

This is why men go to bars.
