Football's first full weekend of football is in the books. Watching was fun but still not the same. No fans, no bands, no pageantry, it's was like having cake but no icing. Good, just not as good.
But it was one of my favorite football watching weekends ever. With the Sax Man and Saxy Lady out house hunting, L'il Lou decided she would rather spend her first football weekend ever with Papa!
She's a fan!. LL never took her eyes off the game. She was rooting hard for the Mega Bets and after UL Lafayette upset Iowa State she was non stop talking.....until it was feeding time that is. Then, back to more football.
She was my secret weapon as I had a profitable weekend. I..we, went 1-1 on the Mega Bets and 2-0 on the Mini Megas for a nice little profit.
Afterwards, she had some key insights the football season so far.

I suck at Survivor Pools - Actually that is my analytic. L'il Lou would never say such a thing. Not yet that is.
For the fourth year in a row I lost in the first week. It's not like I'm taking toss ups. This year I took 8 point favorite Indianapolis over "Tanking for Trevor" Jacksonville. Phillip Rivers threw two picks, including a pick six, leading to 14 Jag points in a 27-20 Jacksonville win. And Mega Bet loss.
L'il Lou was home sleeping during the game. She remains undefeated.
Tap the brakes on Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl - Brady, Gronk, Fournette, Ariens, oh the fun we will have.
Brady became the oldest QB in the NFL to throw a TD pass but he also threw two picks including a pick six to open the second quarter as the Saints won 34-23.
It was a divisional loss so it doubly hurt. But there's still time for Brady to get in synch with the rest of his offense. The Niners, Eagles and Cowboy losses don't hurt either.

The Lions have blown the season and it's only Week 1 - Mike called it at the end of the third. The Lions dominating 23-6 when he texted the gang "Anyone sensing a Lions collapse" I figured that Mitch Trubisky was too inept to lead a comeback.
Mike was right, I was wrong. I made that fatal mistake of underestimating the Lion's ineptitude...again.
On three straight drives the Lions missed a FG, threw a pick on their half of the field and then the killer, dropped an easy pass in the end zone with 6 seconds left to pull out a miracle. As we've learned over the years, miracles are for other teams, not the Lions.
Patricia is a dead man walking. The upside is that with Jacksonville winning, the Lions are in the lead for Trevor.

They play some good football down here in the Sun Belt - Make that Fun Belt 3 Big 12 0. ULL's defense dominated the high powered Iowa State offense in a surprisingly easy 31-14 road win. Arkansas State followed up with a 35-31 upset of Kansas State. Then in the night cap, Coastal Carolina downed Kansas (again) 38-23.
So if the Big 10 and Pac 12 continue to hie underneath the sheets and Texas and Oklahoma stumble somewhere in conference play does the 4th spot in the playoffs go to an undefeated App State or ULL? I hope so.
It wasn't all sunshine and unicorns in the Sun Belt. Army pounded UL Monroe 37-7 to keep their playoff dreams alive. Dwink is lobbying the Committee as we speak.
Georgia Tech has found their QB - Freshman QB Jeff Sims got off to a rough start with an opening drive pick that led to an FSU TD. But then he was electric throwing for 277 yards and rushing for another 64 in a 16-13 upset of the Noles. He's going to make costly mistakes but when he's on watch out.
