Thanks a lot guys Covers Nation makes us laughHopefully we will still be friends if the picks stink this wk But like we say over and over - here primarily to give you stuff to help make your own calls and read about the games
McGuire - hope it works out....Sadly value is in the eye of the beholder and there are probably just as many people that think Bama will win by 40+ and honestly they could. GL
Johnny - so glad you had fun in Blacksburg ! That would have been awesome. Some day I hope to get there. Sorry about the 2485092348 star Tulsa loser GL this wk
a few more write-ups today guys. Almost completely caught up from last wk - and should be more organized and have more stuff for you in week 3.

That Cocktoastin guy is a valuable and unheralded member of the crack (pipe) Megalocks organization.
Get him a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich on me.
my favorite comment of the yr so far ! only Maine Road could come up with that gem.....and only 4 people in North America know what the SAM HILL you are talking about !

LSU -3 -115
Ind/FIU over 55
Iowa St TT under 21.5
MTSU +35.5
Oklahoma 1.5 Tennessee (63)
Megalocks line -3
Well we do lean to the Sooners in this one - but after a couple hours of research on this puppy while watching the Pats/Steelers game - we came to the conclusion that we just wanna watch this hopefully great game and pass on the action Maybe it is because we are REALLY high on both teams this year and it is making our head hurt....Just seems like a coin toss to us.
Tennessee ran the ball very well almost 400Y last wk - yes it was BG defense - but they are gonna be a handful this wk - and now Sooners get the mobile QB that they did not have to face last yr in the 34-10 win at home.....Mind you Sooners may have a better QB in this one but your pal Knight got 300+ last yr.....Mayfield should have a big day passing BUT we cannot overlook the Sooners OL....potential gonna be a big problem struggled running against Akron last wk - yes they do have a very good DL - but still just saying - Tennessee even with some guys out should be able to stop the Sooner ground attack from going nuts......And we already know that CROWD WILL BE ROCKING GUY is all over Tennessee and we do like that team but let's be serious they are 31-39 ATS home and 8-10L18 as home dog...they are .500 ATS under Butch...This is Tennessee's best team in a while but you only need to look at recent history to see some pretty disappointing home performances..
So while our numbers lean Sooners / It is offset by the fact that in a game with a low spread - we do not like taking the team we think it going to be outrushed by a large margin....that will be Oklahoma....similar to our LSU pick - at -3 mind you and not at the -6 and -7 Alice in Wonderland make believe lines.
Summary - should be a good one. Merit in both sides. Like both of these teams a lot. Have to pass. Hopefully some of this BS will help somebody make some coin on the game.

Texas AM 30 Ball St (63.5)
Megalocks line 27
Oh brother if I was a hard core fan of any SEC team I would be praying to get through the schedule with only one loss because so many teams appear to be loaded this yr how about this Tex AM squad ? We leaned Arizona St last wk and stayed away were not sure about Tex AM DL and their sacking ability and what do you know they dominated last wk with 9 sacks and played great run D while the offense did what it does....No way we are fading them here even tho the line seems a touch high...They only have Nevada on deck so no lookahead....Ball St played an out of nowhere wacky high scoring opener with over 1100 yds which we think was a stadium record but could have wrote that down incorrectly - in any event - Ball St is not that bad but AM on FYRE...Ball also has MACtion game on deck so if/when it gets ugly it might get more ugly as Ball gets the scrubs in.

Arkansas 20.5 Toledo (56.5)
Megalocks line -19
Pretty easy stay away game for us simply because the line looks about right - and Arkansas did everything they were supposed to do last wk....Problem is - Toledo ? Do not know what to expect from them yet - Got in a half vs Stony Brook last wk and it was eventually cancelled no stats - game did not exist - no stats - they disappear into the WORMHOLE and the 5TH DIMENSIONAL PLANE.....but from reading the game notes - they appeared a bit sluggish early - got better - but nobody too thrilled about how they looked but they had tough conditions...A lot of talent on this team even with a couple of key suspensions HC Campbell underrated in our book has won 9,7,9 games and won a bowl game...about 50-50 ATS.

thx buddy we think we are gonna take a pass on this one - hard to not consider temple with that D but that was a big win (letdown? who knows)....we make cincy still 3 pts better on a neutral field - -6 seems like the right number so probably gonna pass. sorry not much help ! mega

ninja - not playing an SMU game until after this want to see how they play vs a team in their statsophere of talent - REALLY like the way they looked in the first half - once the QB left to the locker room in 3Q they lost momo. GL
train - I only listen to guys that bet at least $1000/game in imaginary money
needsome - I do not rank my picks - sorry I know that is weird to most people - but at THESE odds right now - my fav is probably MTSU +35.5 although I see some MEGALOCKS SUBSCRIBER STEAM knocking it down to 35...GL

Clemson 19 App St (58.5)
Megalocks line 18
Let's start this off with .....MEGALOCKS own JOHN COCKTOASIN's human interest TIDBIT of the week.....Did you know that App St QB T Lamb has a great grandpappy who played Clemson baseball in the 1940s and will be attending the game? Amuse your friends with that anecdote - maybe even impress some hotties at the bar
Now just going by the Steele mag - we are not experts on the Clemson depth chart - but let's just talk ballpark - 10 RS this yr - and by our count - they could be down to 6 RS this wk if you include OL gone pro, WR out, LB out OL questionable....and they have Louisville on Thursday to look ahead to......App St has 20 RS and are on a 7 game win stk dating back to last yr - this was our FAV weasel team when we did our research in the summer....exp...good QB...decent D....1400Y RB....they destroyed in their opener although when you play one guy named Howard it seems to us to be a little unfair....What worries us ? All Clemson does lately is win and plug in freak after freak after freak...I mean Wofford did not even get a first down on Clemson D until it was already 35-CACK....So what are we saying ? Since we have no idea how good this Clemson D is we really cannot take the points here because if it is as good as we think it might be - that back door will probably not be as open as we may think.....
summary - lean to App St given situational angle and the fact that they are pretty darn good....just cannot pull official trigger since Clemson D may be disgustingly good again we just do not know.
sorry.

Boise 2.5 BYU (55)
Megalocks line 1
Another one that is tough to call - We do know that anyone expecting this to be an easy game b/c BYU QB is gone we think not...Mangum was highly touted and back from 2 yr mission think he will fit in fine....We noted last wk how much we loved watching T Hill play QB and hoped he would not get injured wk 1 - OOPS - my goodness poor guy cannot catch a break - OOPS - a very electric MEGALOCKS fav now gone again....he had 72/132 BYU rushing yards in the HAIL MARY win over Nebraska last wk - don't think we have ever seen HC Mendenhall jump around jump around jump jump jump around boyyyyeeeeeee like he did after that amazing catch to beat Huskers....Just hard to back a team that will not be able to run - Boise gave up less than 30 rushing yards....On the other hand - Boise showed no ability to MATRICULATE in the passing game and were shutout in the 2nd half vs Huskies....This might just might be the Boise hardest game left of course a couple on road vs Utah st Va and Col St but this is a biggy for Boise and BYU/Boise have no love between them should be fun.
