Damn, USC got spanked. Maybe Penn St. is better then we thought after killing Oregon St. Tune in next week for our second year in a row of "As The Number One Turns".
Tonight I actually like Louisville -3. Buy the half.
Games I love for saturday.
Western Mich -4.5. Temple has to be demoralized and they now have to start a virgin QB. Not the winning formula against an experience Bronco team.
Mississippi +22. Ole Miss just needs to stop the turnovers and they will keep it close. Could even maybe be an upset here.
Northwestern +8. Yeah I am such a homer but NU is a great dog. In addition, they are 4-0 without hitting their stride on offense. I think they might this week.
Bowling Green -3. Wyoming is terrible and Bowling Green has had a week to get regrouped.
Arkansas St. -2. Much better then Memphis.
Oklahoma St -17. Big revenge game here from the ESPN thursday night loss at Troy a couple of years back.
Other Picks.
Duke -7. I can't believe I picking them but it is more that Virginia is bad.
No. Ill. -6.
Purdue +1.5
Alabama +7.
Wisconsin -5.5.
Fresno St. -7
Oklahoma -18.5.
Illinois +15.
SJSU +3.
Toledo -19.5.
Louisiana-Lafayette +21.
Texas -27.
North Texas/Rice over 68.
Good luck.

Week 4 wrap and Early Week 5 plays
Well last week was the first trip to negative territory this season but those things happen.
For tonight I am just going to tease USC and the OVER. So USC +18.5 and Over 46.5.
More tomorrow.

Week 4
Wow can you believe it is week 4 already. Last week was an okay week, I believe going 8-7 with a push. Also no wins on the straight up dogs but I was close on a couple of them.
Penn St -28. I bought the half from 28.5. Temple has tried but not really had the luck of last season so far. Penn State is on a strong roll and this will not be the game that slows them down.
Vanderbilt +7. Both teams are looking better then expected. I look for a close game this week.
BYU -28. Wyoming is terrible and BYU had a strong awakening last weekend.
Auburn +3. Buy the half to 3 if you can. I like Auburn at home here. LSU's inexperience at QB might hurt them in their first big road game of the year.
Souothern Miss -7.5. This team will have an easier time against Marshall.
Houston -6.5. Colorado St. is terrible too.
Rutgers -5. Navy will be a good opportunity to stop the bleeding for the Scarlet Knights.
Utah -10
Tulsa -10
Purdue -10 bought the half.
Akron -10
ECU -7
Florida -7 bought the half
Arizona St +7
San Jose St. +8
Minnesota -6.5
The two straight up dogs of the week are San Jose St +285 and Miami Oh +400.
Good luck you all.

Week 3: Another Week, Another Hurricaine.
Well Rutgers sure does suck. Glad I took the over last night, sorry for not announcing it to my followers but I will tell you what I do good or bad. I was a little worried at the half, but then the points just started coming from all over for UNC.
Lets add another game to tonight.
Take Baylor -3.5. Washington State is terrible and were probably more disrupted by the moving up of the game a day then the home team.
Saturday
Auburn -10. Huge revenge game after last year upset loss to Miss St. Auburn also looks to finally have a QB that can manage the passing game after a couple of lean years.
UCLA +8. They have covered 11 straight as a dog and this game has turned into a bit of a rivalry playing for the 3rd time in a little over 12 months. Also UCLA OC Chow has coveted the job at BYU and keeps getting passed over.
Georgia -7.
Oregon St -13. Hawaii is going to have a tough year on the mainland and Oregon St is hungry after an 0-2 start.
Fresno St. +2. A huge opportunity for Fresno to step up again the Cheese heads. This should be a low scoring defensive battle.
Penn State -27 (buy the half). Syracuse is terrible and Penn St should run all over them.
Iowa St +14 (buy the half) over Iowa. The Cyclones have had Iowa's number the last few years and this season the cross state rivals might be fielding one of their best team of the last 3 years.
Western Michigan -8. A MAC team against a WAC team. Top of the MAC kills the bottom of the WAC.
Washington +21. After tough loss to BYU, Washington will not fold the tent up yet on the season. I think they will keep to within 10 to 14 points.
Arizona -11. With his job on the line, Stoops has a solid team playing well with AZ so far.
Boise St/Bowling Green over 57.5. Bowling Green allowed a ton of points to Minnesota last week and both teams play more a score first ask questions later style.
San Jose St - 6. The Aztecs go back on the road again after snagging defeat out of the jaws of victory against Notre Dame. They will lose again to a San Jose St. team that plays tough at home.
Arkansas St -2.5. Ark St is not a pushover and Southern Miss is still adjusting to major changes in all their schemes under a new regime.
Middle Tenn St +18. They beat Maryland last week and they might do it again against a limited Kentucky team that might be over confident after their first two games.
I took Iowa St +425, Bowling Green +900, Middle Tennessee +800 and Florida Atlantic +900 as my straight up dogs of the week.
Good luck.

Week 2: Re Cap
Well it was a bit of a crazy weekend for me, having my travel plans down to Durham changed up because of Hurricane Hannah. On a side note, I can't say Amtrak is much better then the airlines since I somehow managed to get on a train that took about 50 % longer then it should have to down to DC. If they had told me there was engine trouble before I got on the train I would have paid the extra $80 to get on the slight faster but more luxurious Accella train that was leaving around the same time.
So after watching the 2nd halves of the much more exciting then expected OSU and Mich games against the MAC, I headed over to Duke for some pre-game fun. (By the way, it is kind of hard to get airbrushed purple I have to say although Wallace-Wade stadium is about as old as the Yale Bowl and Franklin Field it was a nice place to watch a game. Duke was not able to get their second consecutive sell out so the 1500 some NU fans were actually able to generate some noise times over the 20,000 Dukie's. Although I was a very weak win, I also have to admit that this might have been only the 2nd road or bowl game out of about 10 to 15 games I have seen them play away from Dyche Stadium (now Ryan Field). On the flip side with the Hurricane blowing by, the weather was great for watching football and I had no problem flying back to Philly to catch the Eagles stunning destruction of the Rams.
So it looks like we went 9 -7 on the week taking the season to 17-14. Also one of my straight up dogs won for the second week in a row. On those plays, with the Ark St. paying 12.5 to 1 and the MTSU paying 4.25 to 1, we are now up. 13.75 Units on those plays. Of course my unit for those plays are definitely lower then the units for my regular plays. So for now I will keep track of this stat as well.
More pics for this weekend later, but I love Kansas +3.5 at South Florida Friday night. The line is floating between 3.5 and 3 so look around if you have the option. I am leaning towards UNC tomorrow night but not ready to bet it yet. Give me a reason to if you are so inclined.
Thanks and good luck.

Week 2: Early Upset
Hooray for Vanderbilt. Two consecutive straight up wins as an underdog, and you have to love seeing Spurrier lose almost as much as Tommy Bowden last Saturday night. Spurrier is a great coach but still lacks the right players to fully implement his schemes. Bowden is over rated and will continue to lead teams with high expectations to underachievement. Enough proselytizing (is that really how that word is spelled) from me.
Northwestern -6. Revenge, better team, I will be there, etc.
Michigan St -21. Nice showing in a loss to Cal on the road. Home cooking against a weak EMU will result in a big win.
East Carolina +7.5. Ripe to win a second big game against a BCS conf team. We will truly see if WVa is still a contender with Rich Rod not running the show.
Southern Miss +17.5. New HC but the same tough Golden Eagles. Doubtful about an upset but anything is possible.
Nebraska -26.5. Lots of offense expected from the Huskers and this week they are playing a weaker opponent.
Wisconsin -20.5. Should have covered last week, this week they get the job done.
BYU -9. The Mormons are on a mission. (I did not even realize how funny that was until after I said it in my head.) UW keeps getting worse.
Notre Dame -21. Can I really be typing this? Believe, this year gets off to a much better start.
Buffalo +13.5. Look for Wanstadt to resign if they lose straight up. Buffalo will carry their excitement from last weeks win into this short road trip against a reeling Pitt.
Oklahoma St. -15.5.
South Florida -13.5. A tough instate rivalry game but they should be ready to step and lead off strong.
Utah -22. Revenge game from a last season embarrassment and they are the much better team. I am looking forward to Utah/BYU playing for a BCS spot later in the season.
Arizona -23. Arizona's engines fired on all cylinders, while Toledo had the week off. It could be ugly.
FAU -13. UAB might be the worst team in the nation after FIU. Easy win here for the Owls.
MTSU +12. Purely a play against Maryland, who did not look sharp against Delaware last week and who have been a terrible favorite over the years. Major conference teams have not always fared well.
Take the over 56 in the Minnesota/BGSU game. Seems low to me.
I think one of these three dogs could pull a straight up upset. Southern Miss, Buffalo, MTSU.
Good Luck.
Northwestern -6. Revenge, better team, I will be there, etc.
Michigan St -21. Nice showing in a loss to Cal on the road. Home cooking against a weak EMU will result in a big win.

Weekend Wrap Up
Looks like I went 8-7 on the posted plays for the week so I am quite satisfied. I also like the small straight up bets I placed on Ark St. 12.5 to 1 odds and FAU 20 to 1. That win are Ark St. left me ahead on all the parlays I lost.
I don't think Michigan is as bad as thought but will struggle in a Big Ten with a ton of teams that could go 7-5 or 8-4. Texas A&M is terrible. Va Tech is going to have a rough time moving the ball unless they get QB Tyron Taylor back on the field. Pitt was a huge huge huge disappointment. Wannstadt should not be coaching college ball.
Early bet for the week, Northwestern -6.5 at Duke. I will be sitting in the stands for this one with revenge on my mind. Hopefully the Wildcats will feel the same way.
