My apologies for last week - I was working and got the picks and analyses out late. And a bigger apology for the picks themselves. They reflected the lack of preparation. Work is just going to have to know that there has to be time allowed for the Big Book of Guesses.
Week 3 Recap:
Michigan State +5.0 @ Notre Dame - OK, I promise not to take MSU as a Mega Bet again. I just plain jinxed them. And what was with the play calling? Did Inspector Gadget become the new Offensive Coordinator? MSU actually out gained the Irish 358 yds to 275 - but stats are for losers. The Spartans turned the ball over 3 times inside the ND red zone (fake FG - really?, interception and late game incomplete 4th down pass) while also giving up an 89 yd kickoff return. ND's defensive line destroyed a beat up Spartan offensive line winning 31-13 Loss
Hawaii -20.0 @ UNLV - Easily the worst pick of the season (so far that is). Hawaii fumbled the ball away 4 times including three straight times to start the second half in a miserable performance. The Warriors have reverted to old form of playing terrible on the mainland. The passing game needs to get untracked soon or its going to be a long season on the islands. Don't let the score fool you - UNLV is still a bad team but Hawaii was simply pathetic last week losing 40-20 as 20 point favorites LOSS
Detroit -7.5 vs Kansas City - Detroit kept the Mega Bets from being a total wash out for the week as the Lions totally dismantled the hapless Chiefs 48-3. It was the largest margin of victory ever for the Lions during the regular season - surpassing its 44-0 beat down of the expansion Jaguars in 1995. The Chiefs have been outscored by 79 points in its first 2 games - the most ever for a returning division champion. Stafford threw for 4 TDs including 2 to Calvin Johnson while Kansas City turned the ball over 6 times. A few more games like this and the Chiefs can start making tee times for December. WIN
