OK take a deep breath. Relax. Don’t read too much into week one.
Don’t overreact. Don’t go off the deep end based on what happened last weekend.
Ahhhh, screw it. I’m taking what I saw and making my picks.
Purdue -16.5 vs Eastern Michigan - Clap, clap, clap, Hurons. Nice win over Monmouth. Now get ready to see a lot of Rondale Moore’s taillights. The Boilers are angry and at home. I’ll lay a quatloo and raid the vending machine.

Florida International -1.5 @ Old Dominion – Really ODU? You got beat by Liberty in their first game in the Big Boys division. Not beat, destroyed 52-10. FIU has their own distractions with two players being shot in a drive by shooting (injuries are not life threatening) but showed some mettle in hanging with Indiana. The Panthers rally and ODU gets another beat down. Make it a Mini Mega. The vending machine doesn’t dispense bourbon
Appalachian State -13.5 @ Charlotte – App State took Penn State to OT while Charlotte was taking down a middling Div 1AA team. The spread dropped to 13.5. I’m in. Make it another Mini Mega. Got another good bourbon I want to try

Utah State -23.5 @ New Mexico State – The Aggies (from New Mexico) really are that bad. Wyoming has zero offense and put up 29 points. Minnesota just hung 35 on them in the first half before coasting. Spartan fans saw the other Aggies marching up and down the field against a pretty good defense. I’ll lay the points and a quatloo.
Arkansas -13.5 @ Colorado State – Speaking of really that bad, CSU is really that bad. Hawaii scored 43 on them and Colorado just blew them out last week 45-10. Arkansas is going to rumble for more than 40 too. Make it a Mega Bet. Need to replenish the Midletons. It’s going to be a fun weekend.

Southern Miss -5.0 @ UL Monroe – The WarHawks just let up 358 yards against a Div 1AA team. Southern Miss has something special going on with WR Quez Watkins. He will light up UL Monroe’s secondary and get me another quatloo for some Cheetos.
Central Michigan -5.0 vs Kansas – Kansas is only getting five. You and the custodial staff could stay within five of the JokeHawks. CMU has beaten Big 12 teams before and do it again in Ski Mt Pleasant. Make it for a quatloo.
Baylor -15.5 vs UT San Antonio – UT San Antonio didn’t look like they even wanted to play football against Arizona State. They were going through the motions. Before they decide to play, Baylor will be roasting them. I’ll take some roasted Road Runner for a quatloo.

Memphis -7.0 @ Navy – The Middies went to Pearl Harbor and got bombed by the Rainbows 49-31. Memphis is better than Hawaii. Another quatloo on the Tigers.
Iowa -3.5 @ Iowa State – Iowa just put a beat down on a pretty good MAC team, Northern Illinois. Iowa State cancelled their first game due to lightning and hasn’t had a chance to see what they got. Iowa’s last four home wins in the series have been by double digits. Make it five for a quatloo.
Clemson -12.0 @ Texas A&M – Clemson has that swagger. A&M has Jimbo. Jimbo lost three straight while at FSU to Clemson. Make it four as the Tigers NFL quality defensive line camps in the Aggie backfield. Another Mini Mega. Need to reload on the Stranahan’s whiskey.
Cincinnati +1.0 @ Miami (OH) – So Cincinnati goes to the Rose Bowl and beats UCLA while the Redskins lose to Marshall and the Redskins are favored? Doesn’t make sense to me either. I know it’s a big rivalry game but I’m not going to out think it. Put a quatloo on the Bearskins for me.

UNLV -23.5 vs UTEP – It’s not just that the Miners lost to a Div 1AA team it’s that they were awful in doing it. The Running Rebs hung around a lot longer than the should have against USC. They run up the score and I score another quatloo.
For the Point Whore Parlay I’ll go with
Rutgers +35.5 @ Ohio State – Rutgers is better than Oregon State and Ohio State won’t be that fired up again. I’ll take the Scarlet Knights and hold on.
UCLA +30.5 @ Oklahoma – UCLA, you’re better than that aren’t you? I think so, and the Sooners are worn out after running up the score on the Fighting Kiffens. Might need a back door cover though.
Ball State +34.5 @ Notre Dame – Thanks ND for showing that scUM is overrated again this year. Now take a breather. Ball State has just enough offense to keep this within 5 TDs.

And the NFL starts this weekend. Just in time to lay two more Mega Bets
San Francisco +6.5 @ Minnesota – The Niners are on a roll with Garappolo, winning five in a row. Minnesota’s weakness is the OL and the Niners have one of the better DL’s. As a Spartan, I’m not going to bad mouth Kirk Cousins but his contract was a bit on the high size for his production. Don’t be surprised if the Niners win this outright
Chicago +7.5 @ Green Bay – Betting against Rodgers in Lambeau is always dangerous but the Chicago defense was pretty good before they got Khalil Mack and the ground game will keep this game close. The spread is 7.5 over at the Mirage. The hook is worth the walk.
The Sheriff’s picks frankly sucked last week (0-3-1) so he is hoping to rebound in Week 2.

Colorado (+4) @ Nebraska - The Buffs looked impressive last week in pounding Colorado State 45-13 whereas Nebraska’s first game was canceled due to weather. Having already played a game, Colorado will have a huge advantage over Nebraska and its true freshman QB Adrian Martinez. Look for the Buffs to pull an upset.
Northwestern (-2.5) vs Duke - The Wildcats beat a good Purdue team on the road last week, and should take care of business against Duke in their home opener.
Stanford (-5.5) vs USC - The Condom’s true freshman QB JT Daniels looked respectable in the first game of his college career last week, but playing at home against UNLV is one thing … playing your first PAC-12 road game against Stanford in Primetime is quite another. Look for the rookie to get some sweaty palms Saturday night in Palo Alto.
I’m good with those picks. No quatloos until the Sheriff turns it around.
And here are all the games, spreads, picks and much much more
