It feels good to have football back in full swing. In Week 1, we saw Camp Randall do ‘Jump Around’, Oklahoma dodged a big bullet and the Pac12 put all their money on red and lost.
We had a tough run of bets in Week 1. But we’ve reviewed the film and are ready to give it another go. Let’s review last week’s results.
WEEK 1 RESULTS
Sam: -4 Units
UNC -5.5 vs. VT (2 Units)
Louisiana +8 vs. Texas (1 Unit)
MSU-Northwestern, Under 46 (1 Unit)
Cameron: -3 Units
Old Dominion +30 vs. Wake Forest (1 Unit)
Iowa -3.5 vs. Indiana (2 Units)
Oregon State +7 vs. Purdue (2 Units)
Kent State +29.5 vs. TAMU (3 Units) - JFC Kent State. Figure it out, man.
Marshall +3 vs. Navy (1 Unit)
Tyler: -1 Unit
Kent State +29.5 vs. TAMU (3 Units) - JFC Kent State. Figure it out, man.
SJSU +14 vs. USC (2 Units)
Fresno State +20.5 vs. Oregon (2 Units)
LSU vs. +3 UCLA (1 Unit)
UTSA +5.5 vs. Illinois (1 Unit)
Let’s not kid ourselves, this is Sicko Saturday. It’s not a loaded slate this week. That said, there are some sneaky value games wedged in here. Let’s take a look.
WEEK 2
Sam
Texas -7 vs Arkansas (2 Units): Texas and Sark have themselves a QB in Hudson Card. Run it up against Sam Pittman and woo pig.
Pitt -3 vs Tennessee (1 Unit): Kenny Pickett is using his NIL to give his boys up front free meals each week. On the road against a terrible Tennessee team, run it up.
UNC -25.5 vs Georgia State (3 Units): UNC got upset last week on the road at Virginia Tech. They return home to play a Georgia State team that lost 43-10 vs Army (we support our troops at Three-Point Stance). Look for Sam Howell to get back in the Heisman race with a big performance.
Cameron
Buffalo vs. Nebraska Over @54.5 (1 unit) - Sometimes we wake up and choose pain.
Eastern Michigan vs. Wisconsin -25.5 (2 units) - Wisconsin is pretty pissed off, I think they come out and dominate this game.
Uconn vs. Purdue Under @ 57.5 (2 units) - 57.5 is steep, I see this game as a 42 to 7 or 42 to 14 finish.
Illinois vs. Virginia Under @ 55 (2 units) - I think Illinois gets back on track this week and has a solid game defensively. Not sure what to make of Virginia.
UAB vs. Georgia Over @ 45.5 (1 unit) - Dawgs looked bad last week. I expect them to get back on track offensively and for UAB to maybe get a touchdown late to send this over.
Tyler
Iowa +3.5 vs. Iowa State (2 Units): El Assico is always great and this year should be no different. ISU has gotten all the hype, but I like the Hawkeyes. Who wants a steady diet of zone running?
Ball State +23 vs. Penn State (1 Unit): This is the Week 2 “Letdown Look Ahead Sandwich” game of the week. Penn State comes off a big win and has Auburn next week.
Liberty -4 vs. Troy (3 Units): In Hugh We Trust. Sneaky darkhorse Heisman candidate Malik Willis is easily the best player on the field. I think they light up Troy for a nice win.
Vanderbilt-CSU UNDER 51 (1 Unit): Calling all sickos. Both teams got their pants pulled down last week by FCS teams. I don’t love either offenses.
Pittsburgh -3 vs. Tennessee (2 Units): Tennessee sucks. Like really sucks. I don’t think Joe Milton is the answer. I’ll take this big dumb Pitt team to cover easily.
Temple -7 vs. Akron (1 Unit): You can probably just fade Akron every single game this season and become a rich man.
