Week 8 - Yeah We're Back




+ Week 8 Winners --
UTEP (-7)
Miami (-2.5)
My boy Zach Laskey gift-wrapped this cover for Miami.
Zach Laskey dropped back to receive a punt for Georgia Tech, the bouncing ball coming straight at him as he stood at the 9-yard line. He tried to grab it as a horde of Hurricanes sprinted toward him, misplayed it and could only watch as the football kept going into the end zone. Nicholas dove on it just past the goal line for a touchdown that put Miami up 14-0. Thanks Z.
Indiana (+23.5) More points from both offenses than I expected, but we’ll take it.
Boston College (+21.5)
Stanford (-20.5) First time this year that I placed 3x ($) on one game.

+ Week 8 Losers --
SMU (+3) Murdered in all three losses…
Utah (+3) Just killed...
Notre Dame (-8.5) Ugh

Rutgers (+2) was a wash.

Last week: 5-3-1
Season: 58-32-3 (64.4%)


+ Gut Plays of the Week –-7-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday night in East Lansing. Sparty on.

Boston College (+21.5)
Stanford (-20.5)

Arizona

Week 7 - Wait..... We Lost???


After six weeks in the black, this was my first losing weekend, albeit my record was 6-7-1. And I actually never bet on Michigan (for or against) so my personal bets went 6-6-1, but I digress.

+ Week 7 Winners --
Miami (+3) Jacory Harris is playing well and not turning the ball over. Outright win.
Missouri (-14)
Virginia (+9) Strong contrarian play. Everyone loved Georgia Tech last week.
Boise State (-33.5) Boise will roll through their new conference.
Nevada (-30)
Fresno State (+4.5) Last game on the schedule was a winner. Just realized that I didn’t have one close win. All of these were easy covers.

+ Week 7 Losers --
Cal (+4.5) QB play was heinous, especially with Cal’s talent at WR.
Michigan (+2.5) State is the better team this year and was at home. Line should have been higher.
Indiana (+40) Russell Wilson has thrown four passes in the 4th quarter…for the entire year.
Cincinnati (-16.5) 9-point victory not enough.
Rutgers (-5) 1-point victory not enough.
Central Michigan (-12.5)
Idaho (pk)

Marshall
(-4) was a wash.

Last Week: 6-7-1
Season: 53-29-2

+ Gut Plays of the Week --
N/A. Still riding a juicy 7-game winning streak.

GeorgiaTennessee
Purdue – Minnesota
Michigan Minnesota
Auburn South Carolina
Washington – Dallas (NFL)
Oklahoma State Texas A&M

In East Lansing, can anyone confirm if The Situation and Izzo will be on the sideline again?
