nopressure I agree 100% - even 100 yds from Cook and a TD won't kill them just cannot let him go crazy up in the 180+ range with a couple long TDs. Cook is a special RB IMO. GL !
Calbear - I will handicap the Cal game and post it up
Longhorn 
glad you like the Tulsa pick - and agree that Houston is a really good team and Tulsa did not look out of place for most of that one. As far as the ULM tragedy - to be fair - I read that last night after playing the game was checking out some ULM and Tulsa news while watching the scripted NFL game. I think that it would potentially have a bigger impact if a) this was a conference game but more importantly b) a home game where they have the ability to rally with the community. In any event - such sad news. Would not put it past them to play a really strong game there is just no way to know. Just my two cents. Best of luck !

Houston 26 SMU
Megalocks line 24
Sagarin 23
SMU has looked a lot better on offense this year under new HC Morris but the D is still God awful - but - you cannot fix everything in one year and they just need to get some talent on the other side of the ball and they could have something here eventually....SMU other than the NTexas game has given up 56 56 48 49 and are #127 in total D....Houston offense is very good and their D is no slouch...The line looks about right to us - will not be laying upwards of 24 on this one and cannot take the dog just because we have no idea how many stops SMU may get on D.
Summary. No leanage on side. Awaiting total. Have it pegged at 70-71.

yup. agree with that.
also in general - Utah is almost unfadable - is that a word? So well coached and not a high profile team.
was prohibited against betting on the Arizona state ucla game by the wife but wanted to pull the trigger so bad on the Arizona state plus 13. can't complain had a great time and was up 7 wins 5 losses on weekend! we will take it! looking forward to this week and curious for cal vs Utah write up! Good luck this week, lets crush

Good luck this week, lets crush funny stuff. congrats on a good week and trust you had an awesome time. It did not look good for the Tenn under when the opening kick was returned for a TD but the cream rose to the top. 
.....Sorry you did not get on board that Az St pick but I totally get not wanting to bet on a game you are emotionally invested in. GL this wk
USC 17 Washington
Megalocks line 18
Sagarin 15
Both teams coming off byes and both have looked pretty good so far - USC crushing all foes other than a hiccup vs an apparently good again Stanford team....Kessler has been MATRICULATING like a true STUD but USC does have a bit of a SOFT UNDERBELLY ranked 90 in total D
while not exactly facing a murderers' row of offenses...The good news is that Wash D has not faced any decent QBs other than Goff and he shredded them up pretty good - BUT - Wash only lost by 6 at home....Remember when Wash played Boise - Boise had a different QB.....Washington appears to be very scrappy this yr ranked only #100 in offense but do have a promising FR QB but this is a tough road test - We think they will be able to move the chains a bit with some good play calling and some poor D play by USC....Also note that the potentially irrelevant stat of the day that you will hear on ESPN later in the week but as usual will hear it here first - Petersen 20-4 SU off a bye and while we do not think they win SU - and Boise did play some pretty crappy teams off a bye - it does help confirm that he is a pretty good coach with an extra week....USC has ND next....a lookahead maybe BUT they already have one conf loss so doubt they will look past Huskies - then again - this is USC we are talking about.
Summary. Lean Wash at +17 or better. Will not officially add this to the card not going to have anything more than Temple vs Charlotte degenerate type cash on this one.

CRACK PIPE SPECIAL 
Wyoming +25
Megalocks line 19
Sagarin 26
The masses have spoken. They DEMAND the Crack Pipe Special. That is the problem when they go a ROD STIFFENING 3-0 
to start the season.....Huge underdogs almost winning outright....The craving is intense - and you sickos deserve more....Funny thing is....It doesn't matter when these picks get DESTROYED....you come back for more and we can't stop you....Like a pack of lions tearing apart a wounded gazelle....the hunger is PALPABLE......and disturbing.....
Air Force is struggling at the QB position. Our MWC staff researchers tell us that some are calling last week one of the worst QB performances in AF option history.....an added bonus for Air Force is now Navy is - get this - 20 for 20 in their last 20 4th down attempts against Air Force....We will not call at letdown for a service academy because those kids are incredible - but after losing to Navy and now getting Wyoming - that cannot be a plus when trying to cover 25 in a conference game.....Roberts just not getting it done at QB...Air Force got rolling this year early beating Morgan St and San Jose St with QB ROMINE....Romine looked good running for 116 vs SJ....Since that time - AF lost to Sparty - covered - then last week debacle vs Navy...Roberts 28 and 44 yds rushing at the QB spot and apparently just has not had enough experience at the QB position in terms of reps even tho he is a senior.....A lot of the stats and in our opinon - the power ratings assume Romine is QB and not the less efficient offense they have now.
Wyoming D is not very good. Again we tell you. Not a pick em. Catching 25. AND - if you look at the numbers - they have only given up 378 409 314 the last 3 weeks and did a nice job last wk in bad weather vs App ST - both running focused teams - but Wy outgained ! them 373-314 and held a very good App St team in check - once again early mistakes doomed them down 14-0 early off a pick 6 - This only a week after they had the same number of yds as New Mex and lost by 10 (408 to 409 against)
RB Brian Hill is the best player in the field and QB Coffman while staring down receivers at times - provides enough balance to MATRICULATE in the passing game.
This is a rivalry game. The Front Range Rivalry is indeed a big deal. And taking this many points when AF has the worst QB play in recent memory seems like a decent play. And keep in mind - Air Force has been and still is - one of our Top 5 FAV Teams we rarely play against them just love their fight - but think they need to start a new era at QB....They will score and move the ball - but also #109 in turnover margin....not great.

. I agree with your assessment of the D. Hugely disappointing but like I said they just do not have the athletes that Florida st or Clemson does. As a result - my expectations are always tempered and understand what a realistic expectation is for this season. I think this matchup is fortunate for Miami timing wise because Florida St not fully in sync yet working in lots of new guys. GL this week
This one also caught my eye. Need to look at it in more detail. I think you are on the right track. GL.
