 thursday and friday college football
Best bets (4-0)(+12.00 units)
Strong plays (0-3)(-6.60 units)
Regular plays (2-4)(-2.40 units)
Overall (6-7)(+3.00 units)
OPINIONS 5-3 (no units, just for fun)
Got the first week under my belt. Take away my best bets and I suck. Take away my strong and regular plays and I am great. Which is it? I wish I knew the answer to that one. Hopefully after this weekend I will get an answer and I hope it is the great part rather than the I suck part.

Oregon State +8 vs Boise State (best bet)
.I have read everything from Oregon State being a lock to You have to be crazy to go against Boise State at home, they dont lose at home. No doubt that Boise State is a great home team, of course who do they really play at home? Exactly. Pac 10 is the better conference and I am not so sure the middle of the road pac 10 teams are not nearly as good as the upper teams in Boises conference. Oregon State seems to play well vs Boise too. I think they are probably the better team at Boise, but not by more than a touchdown. I would not be shocked at all to see an outright upset here, but I wont call for that. I see Boise winning this game by seven points, but it will be much closer than that. I see a see-saw game the whole way with Boise pulling it out in the end. Reports out of the pac 10 have OSU looking pretty good this year. I really think too much is being made out of Boise blue turf here. I know I am due to lose a best bet, but I dont see it happening on Thursday. I feel pretty solid with this one.
Friday, September 8th
Cincinnati +8 vs Pittsburgh (strong play)
..Trust me on this one, Pitt is not as good as they looked last week and there is not way they should be more than a touchdown favorite at Cincinnati. I still think coach Dave is an idiot for the panthers and he will prove it in this game. Games like this used to be automatic for the panthers, but not anymore. They really seem to play to the level of their competition recently. While they have the talent and can be good enough to play and beat anybody, they have to ability to suck and lose to just about anybody as well. I just dont trust them on the road and even more so as a road favorite. Virginia is going to have a bad team this year, so dont let last weeks results fool you. I have always been a big Pitt fan and I am just hoping they can pull this one out and get a win. With that being said an outright loss is certainly possible.
I will be back sometime on Thursday with the rest of my picks for Saturday in college football. I just wanted to get these two in before the lines move against me and I feel that they will. I can see both games going down to seven and I really like the comfort of getting more than a td in both games. |
