Think I went 11 & 6 (64.7%) on posted plays last week, but a very disappointing 2 & 2 on "Best Bets." The Wisconsin game prevented me from hitting the 5-team parlay I do the first week of the season. In short, three key loses (Wisconsin, Louisiana Tech & Florida St) prevented me from having a monster week.
I really wanted to re-cap last week's thread, but I have been ridiculously busy. I may try to do that this week.
I did call the Alabama game correctly on side and total, but was a little nervous that Saban may sobatage my Alabama plays, so was reticent to call either play a "Best Bet." While we're talking about Alabama, I hope y'all jumped on Tua +1400 for Heisman. After one week, he has jumped from Heisman long-shot, to Heisman favorite. Still seeing 6 to 1 out there, which is still a great play for a player I believe will win the award in a landslide. With the Jalen Hurts pretending to be a QB nightmare behind us, you can pretty much bank on Alabama scoring 50+ a week.
Another team you can bank on scoring 50 every week is Oklahoma. I think Lincoln Riley may be the best offensive mind in the country.
I usually don't feel this way about the NFL, but there are four games that I really like, so I'll post them here as well.

I like the OVER here as well. We have a west coast team playing an early game who will get dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball. And oh, by the way, Vandy can score! I look for a 45-24 type final.
Western Michigan +28 @ Michigan
UCLA @ Oklahoma - 29.5
Oklahoma is a scoring machine, and UCLA is in complete disarray while they implement Chip Kelly's offense. Oklahoma rolls 62-17!
Air Force @ Florida Atlantic -9.5
After getting blown out by triple option Navy in Kiffin's first game last season, laying almost DD to another triple option foe seems a liitle square, and foolish, but I expect FIU to do a much better job defending the option this season. Ultimately, I just don't think Air Force will be able to score with the Fighting Kiffins. The heat may be a factor here as well.
Afternoon Games:
Arkansas State @ Alabama OVER 65
Night Games:
Clemson @ Texas A&M UNDER 27.5 (1st Half)** Best Bet **
Kentucky @ Florida UNDER 26 (1st Half)** Best Bet **
Penn State @ Pittsburgh +9
I expect this to be a very tight game from start to finish. Consider the ML as well.
Virginia @ Indiana OVER 51
Late Night Games:
California @ BYU -2.5 -120
San Jose State @ Washington OVER 64.

Here we go!
Early Games:
Nevada @ Vanderbilt -10** Best Bet **

Idk about the Bama over, I’m afraid Saban will pull King Tua at half and Play “game manager” ball with Mac Jones? I did get Tua at 10:1 for Heisman.... what about david Palmer jr WADDLE that kid is electric!!! Tua has soooo many weapons to help his already elite talents...
Good luck JDF

Will be interested to see how he compares to his brother. Some say he'll be even better, but I have a hard time believing that. But if he's even close to good as his brother, that is bad news for the rest of college football.

Waddel shredded the Bama defense in both of Bama's fall scrimmages! He is ridiculous!
Will probably need some help from the Red Wolves to push this north of the total, but Alabama will score pretty much every time Tua has the ball. He'll definitely Play the 1st half, and probably some of the 3rd quarter. Expect Mac Jones to run Alabama's regular offense for a few of his possessions, and expect a non-offensive touchdown or two. Would not be shocked to see Bama get into the 60s by themselves.

Hate being against you on vand I think Nev can hang today
I would lay 14 with Vandy in this game, and not think twice. They win by at least 3 TDs. Nevada does have some legitimate weapons on offense, which is why I also really like OVER 62. I'd play that before taking the points with Nevada.
