Spartacus - I'd chip in for that Bruce and I were talking at the Coastal Command. He had a great idea for the Sax Man and Saxy Lady. Being huge sports fans, they should sell the naming rights to the Baby Sax. Given that this would be an entirely new market we weren’t sure what the market price would be, but were certain that a first name would be much pricier than a middle name.
An intriguing idea would be to sell a second middle name similar to J. R. R. Tolkien – sell their version of the second R. Since we were well into the adult beverages we even came up with our proposed first and middle names – Spartacus, Tiberius, Augustus (we were feeling very Romanesque at the time). And with the last name you get a great moniker for a boy. If we had to limit ourselves to just one name, we would be willing to chip in for Spartacus. Who’s with us?
We had some great times at the Coastal Command even if the football results were rather mixed. Not even going to go into the Spartan game. I said to wait to see how the season ended before giving judgement. I’m still there but its not looking good right now.
Everyone made lousy picks. The metric, after starting out 13-3 has now gone 2-5-1 since I started using it. The Big Flippy went 4-7 and the Sheriff went 0-3 (for real this time).

Minnesota is 9-0 for the first time since the Russo Japanese War Here’s the bettors overview of last Saturday
In one of the weekends most entertaining games, SMU held off East Carolina 59-51. The Mustangs have are 1-4 ATS after starting out 5-0 ATS but they are 9-0-1 on the over.
What happened to the Duke offense? After starting out averaging 40 PPG they have averaged 12.7 over the last three resulting in a three game ATS losing streak.
Virginia may have beaten Georgia Tech 33-28 but they didn’t cover. The Cavs are now 2-5-1 ATS over the last eight games.
Minnesota hasn’t played anyone! The Gophers will crumble when the schedule starts to toughen up! I remember someone, not sure who, well actually just about everyone, making that argument. Minnesota 31 Penn State 26. The Goofers are now 6-0 ATS over their last six and in the hunt for a CFP spot. . Keep on rowing PJ.
Remember when Clemson was not quite themselves? Clemson 55 NC State 10. The Tigers are #3 after Bama and Penn State lost.
Kansas State covered in a 27-24 loss to Texas. The Wildcats are 4-0 and 7-2 ATS and 5-1 on the under.

FSU and BC combined for 28 points in the last two minutes to destroy the under If you had the under 48.0 on the Baylor TCU game you suffered on of the worst bad beats of the year. There were no TDs in regulation with Baylor ahead 9-6. TCU hits a 51 yard FG to send it into OT tied at 9. Both teams scored TDs in the first two OTs to make it 23-23 and any hope of the under went away. Baylor won 29-23 in the third OT getting the cover too.
Another bad beat for the unders was Florida State Boston College set at 64.5. With 2:33 to go BC scored a TD to tie it up at 24-24. FSU answered with a 60-yard touchdown to re-take the lead, 31-24 - 1:48 left. The Noles then get another TD with 1:03 left to clinch it 38-24. BC gets a meaningless TD with 14 seconds left for a final of 38-31 and the game goes over. That’s 28 points in the last two minutes. Betting the under is not for the faint of heart.
North Texas was spanked by La Tech 53-17 to fall to 1-5 ATS over their last six.
San Diego State was upset by Nevada 17-13. In hind sight, the Wolfpack getting 17 was a gift as SDSU has yet to score more than 27 in any game except for the pathetic New Mexico State Aggies The Spaztecs are now under 8-1 in their nine games overall.

The other Spartans are racking up the points Florida Atlantic has covered 5 of their last six after taking down arch rival Florida International 37-7. The Fighting Kiffens are still the only team to cover the spread against No. 1 Ohio State, and only team to score more than twice against the Bucknuts this season.
San Jose State lost a fun game to Hawaii 42-40 but got the cover. The other Spartans are 6-1-1 ATS over their last eight.
Arkansas that was ugly. They got blown out by Western Kentucky 45-19. To rub salt in the wounds, the WKU QB is former Hog QB Ty Storey. HC Chad Morris might not survive the season.
South Carolina also lost to a Group of Five team. App State best their second Power Five team in a 20-15 win over the Cocks.
