Last weekend wasn't great. Mistakes were made, but that's how it goes. Learn from it and move on. Anyone who has been doing this seriously or for a long time is going to make mistakes. Those who say they don't are liars.
Onward.
YTD: +21.065
3* UNLV +4 -114 - One more chance to fade Boise which has been a cash machine. Rebels could have won the first matchup, but I'm not sure they are the better team. UNLV has steadily improved, has a dynamic offense, and this will be the highest profile game in program history. Boise meanwhile has been extremely stagnant. Squeaking by bad teams. Hopefully the luck runs out here.
4* Arizona St. -2.5 -113
4* Arizona St. -136 - Iowa St. is not good. I was leery of Kansas St. being able to come through but really they should have. They completely bottled up the Iowa St. passing game and if it wasn't for bonehead turnovers (and that absurd non-overturned fumble on the first drive) I think they would have gotten it done. Sundevils are on a tear and I have been riding them. Not getting off here. Playoff time for them and their 17 year old coach.
10* Penn St. +3.5 -113 - I have played Oregon a few times this year and don't hate them, but if there's a team that matches up well it's Penn St. Direct power running game. Solid defense. The site of this game also is a big negative for Oregon imo. I hate Franklin, but I think in this year's wide open field he may have a shot, although I still favor Ohio st. to win the playoff. I do not think Penn St. has played their best yet - it is still in them. And I do not see a team that is a really particularly glaring stylistic matchup for them. Regardless, I think they get the Big10 title here. I have this at a Pk so 3.5 pts is a play.
Onward.
