NCAAF Week Two

[The Judge]

At first glance, two game for next week stick out for me. I am not sold on either pick just yet but will be digging deeper into these matchups over the next couple of days.

Texas Tech (-9.5) at Nevada
If Grambling passed for 225 yards against the Wolf Pack, what do you think the Red Raiders are going to do? Granted, Nevada rushed for 425 yards as a team but Tech’s defensive front is greatly improved this year as is their secondary which had three interceptions against Eastern Washington. Tech passed for 639 yards on Saturday and if they can avoid the penalties (18 for 169 yards), they should be able to do the same against Nevada

Utah State (+35) at Oregon
Sure, Oregon throttled Washington by 34 points but that was the Huskies. Diondre Borel will probably start at QB this week for the Aggies and he played pretty well in the second half this past week and he is a dual threat. Duck QB Roper was pegged to be the backup before Costas tore up his knee in practice last week and now Roper was knocked out of Saturday’s game with a mild concussion. They are not going to be able to hang with the Ducks but I think that again this week, the linesmaker is not giving Utah State enough credit.

Good Luck ... I am just now getting ready to go over some of the lines for this week

[The General]

Thanks for sharing, Judge.

Good luck

[Cooper]

Good luck Judge. I like Texas Tech too!

[The Judge]

I went ahead and played both of these as Texas Tech's line has already move a half point against me but I got an extra half on Utah State.

Texas Tech (-10)
Utah State (+35.5)

South Carolina -9.5

Good luck.

Nice of you to remember me, HowdyBoy. Business demands have dictated less time to spend on written analysis this year. In past seasons I actually have used my write-ups as a tool to refine my plays by eliminating opinions as I typed and then finally convincing myself on a side.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), the time to do this is becoming less available and as a result, I have decided to cut my wager size in half this season. We'll see how that works out as the season progresses. I like the attitude here at GIQ, hope it florishes and will post my NCAAF plays here all season.

I agree with your thoughts on GIQ. Now lets cash some tickets.

Nice 4-1 start on the afternoon games with pending games shown in blue above.

Utah State really let me down. After scoring 10 consecutive points in the 4th for a half point backdoor cover, they allowed the Ducks to come back with a garbage touchdown in the closing minutes.



Another sobering reminder of why this affliction is called gambling.

8-2 on the day with both Best Bets hitting. Not exactly Cooper territory but I'll take it.


NCAAF Record: 16-6
Best Bets: 3-0

[Reno Paul]

8-2 is nothing to sneeze at.......Way to go!!!!!
