The big news has nothing to do with football. We were celebrating Doofus Daughter #1’s fortieth birthday, when the Saxy Lady and Sax Man said they had big news. They are expecting a little Doofus! Mrs Doofus and I are very excited. Congrats!
In college football: It was the battle for the Big Al trophy with Navy destroying Connecticut 56-10. The mariners are now 6-2 ATS. The 'over' is also 5-1 in Navy's past six. Navy also moved into the Top 25, making it 3 ranked American Conference teams.
It used to be the anticipated game of the season. Miami (FL) man handled Florida State 27-10. The Noles promptly fired HC Wille Taggart. I thought it was a stretch hire to begin with. He did a nice job turning around Western Kentucky and then South Florida but left Oregon after only one year. FSU was a bridge too far. Should be interesting to see where DC Harlon Barnett ends up.
Boston College went to the Carrier Dome and pummeled Syracuse 58-27. The Orange have now dropped five straight ATS and are 1-7 ATS over the past eight, too.
Va Tech was up 20-14 over ND under the watchful eye of TD Jesus. And then....

The Domers score a TD with 30 seconds left to take down Va Tech. The same thing happened back in 2015. Damn Domers.
The Hokies are getting into a groove though as the are 3-1 ATS over the past four.
scUM is on a roll too. They didn't have a hangover after impressive blowing out the Irish, blasting Maryland 38-7. scUM is 5-1 SU/ATS across the past six. Crap.
At the Outdoor Ampitheatre we moved indoors to watch Indiana vs Northwestern. We quickly moved on to another game as the Hoosiers easily handled the Cats 34-3. The Hoosiers are flying under the radar at 7-2 SU/6-3 ATS. The Cats just suck at 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS. Northwestern has scored just six total points across its last three games.
It’s a rivalry game – take the points said the Sheriff. Nope. Kansas State had no problem with Kansas winning 38-10. KSU has covered three in a row and is 3-0 ATS as a favorite.
Oklahoma State held off TCU 34-27. So much for good defense, the Toads are 5-1 over.
Watch out for the Beavers. Oregon State piled up 28 points in the second quarter and never looked back, beating Arizona 56-38. OSU is now 6-1 ATS across the past seven outings.
Utah kept its slim payoff hopes alive with a 33-28 win over Washington. The Utes are the team nobody seems to be talking about, but they're a sleeper. They have won and covered five in a row since a seven-point loss at USC on Sept. 20.

Auburn was going through the motions in a 20-14 win over Mississippi. It's an anomaly, The Tigers failed to cover for just the second time in nine tries this season.
Florida Atlantic won and covered in a 35-24 win over Western Kentucky. The Owls are 4-1 ATS in the past five as a favorite. FAU is also 4-1 SU/5-0 ATS in five road games this season.
North Texas smashed UTEP 52-26. The 'over' has now cashed in five in a row for the Mean Green.
Boise State got a huge scare from San Jose State. It took a 21-6 forth quarter to put away the other Spartans in a 52-42 Bronco win. SJSU is 4-0 ATS as a double digit dog including two outright wins.

Utah State is stumbling. They got crushed by BYU 42-14 and are 1-4 ATS after starting out 3-1 ATS to start the season.
Georgia Southern stunned Appalachian State 24-21 ruining the Fun Belts chance at a New Years six game. After starting out 5-1 ATS the Mountaineers have gone 0-2 ATS.
Buffalo is on fire. They destroyed Eastern Michigan 43-13, their fourth straight cover.
Northern Illinois used to be the best in the MAC. No more. Central Michigan had no problem with the Huskies in a 48-10 beat down. They Chips are now 4-1 ATS over their last five.
It’s the easiest bet in College Football – just fade Akron. After losing to Bowling Green 35-6, the Zips are a “perfect” 0-9 ATS.
The Metric is still paying off. The Mega Bets went 1-1-1 but with one caveat.
Georgia -6.0 vs Florida - The Dawgs led throughout. Down 24-10, Florida scored a late TD but failed the on side kick. Final UGA 24 Gators 17 WIN

Air Force -16.0 vs Army - Dwink ridiculed the pick and rightly so. It was a defensive slug fest with the Fly Boys ultimately prevailing 17-13 LOSS.
Memphis -6.0 vs SMU - It was a strange ending. Just like the Goergia game, Memphis was up 14 late in the game. I was feeling comfortable. Even if SMU scores a TD I'll still be up 7, giving 6. And just like Florida, SMU scores a TD with 2 minutes to go. But rather than kick the PAT, they go for 2! WTF? Why go for two?
Of course they make it. SMU goes for the onside, fails and Memphis ends up wit a push. Still shaking my head over the reason for going for two.
The kicker was that when the game kicked off, the spread had dropped to 5.5. If I used the Saturday spread I would have had a win.
The Big Flippy had an amazing weekend going 4-1-2. Nice picks Flippy.
The Sheriff continues his tailspin going 0-3 again.
And Congrats again Sax Man and Saxy Lady!
