Picks for Week 7
20-13 for the year, so let’s get a good weekend going.
1 – Mizzou -14 over Iowa State
Mizzou found it last week against Kansas State, but it was too little too late. Pinkel will have his boys ready for an Iowa State team who is coming off a tough road game at Baylor.
2 – Nevada [...]
5 Things We Will Learn in Week 7 of CFB
1 – Is Michigan for real?
They travel to rival Sparty this week, after a tough game at Northwestern last Saturday. Sparty has proved they are ready with a win at “The Shoe” earlier this year. Huge game.
2 – Is Okie State for real?
They travel to an angry group of Longhorns, so we will [...]
Winners and Losers from Week Six of CFB
Here we go:
Losers
1 – Texas
55-17? Nuff said
2 – Tennessee
I hate to say it, but this might have been the only chance for this team to get a signature win.
3 – Big Ten Officials in NW/Michigan game
If you didn’t see the “no call” when Persa’s helmet was ripped off, then the play is over, it [...]
5 Things We Will Learn in Week Six of CFB
1 – Is Texas Back?
The Red River Shootout should give us some insight as to how Texas is rebounding after a bad season and a shaky start to this one. The last two weeks have been better, but this is a TRUE test.
2 – Does Derek Dooley get his first “signature” win?
He was close [...]
Winners and Losers from Week 5 of College Football
Quick recap of my Winners and Losers of Week 5.
Losers
1 – Minnesota
I know they have had coaching issues, but how far this team has fallen is beyond embarrassing. Losing 58-0 to an average Michigan team is flat out pathetic.
2 – Temple
A week after dominating Maryland, they get drilled by Toledo at home. Toledo [...]
5 Things We Will Learn in Week 5 of CFB
Here are five things that we should know more about after Week 5.
1 – Is Baylor QB Robert Griffin, III a Legit Heisman Candidate?
Robert Griffin, III is the hottest QB on the planet right now. They travel to Manhattan, Kansas to play a very good Kansas St. defense. RG3 has led Baylor to [...]
Winners and Losers from Week 4 of College Football
Quick recap of my 5 winners and losers from week 4. Let’s start with losers this week, since I had a losing week.(1st this year though!)
Losers
1 – Replay Booth Officials for Syracuse/Toledo Game
This might go down as one of the worst fails this year. This is Mizzou-Colorado 5th down worthy. How any [...]
Winners and Losers from Week 3 of College Football
Here are my five winners and losers from week 3 of the season. (Other than me, who is off to a blazing 15-3 start!)
Winners
1 – Dabo Swinney
Listen, most people knew Auburn was not a great team after week one, but this does not diminish how big this win was for Clemson at home. [...]
The “Reverse-Line Movement” as it Relates to the Public
We all know that Vegas doesn’t have fancy hotels and sportsbooks because they lose money. They feast on the urges of degenerate gamblers. Don’t ask me what goes into setting a line for a college football game, because I don’t know. One thing I do know is that as the season progresses, [...]
