I'm really interested to see what Hawaii does here. @Florida and @Oregon State weren't exactly easy games for them. This one is more in their league, I wonder if they have anything up their sleeves?

[VegasDave]

Tough to say, I still don't know how much of an impact losing Love will have... I'm still seeing a 38 - 10 kind of game, so I still definitely like the pick, but it is no lock.. all depend on how well Kent plays really which they SHOULDN'T be that much of a factor...

Still think Ohio State, Texas, and Rice are VERY strong plays.

9 hrs til kick off time!

[awholelottalumps]

You have to be aware of Home Dogs coming off a bye week like Michigan.Memphis is anothe Home Dog coming off a bye and Memphis needs this game more and will win.I like Michigan to keep it close and maybe win outright.Alabama is for real and their the right side vs Georgia.

[VegasDave]

^Hope you are wrong! But good luck all the same bud.

[VegasDave]

Ugh, VERY VERY frustrating weekend. 4 losses so far...

Ohio State -17.5... dominate the entire game. Well on their way to covering this. I know back-door covers are part of the game, but it was 4th and 14 on the Ohio State 22 with under 2 mins to go. For fvck's sake just make a damn play OSU.

Miami -8.0... leading 17 - 7 at the half... unravel in the 2nd half. I should NOT have taken this game. It didn't make my cut before and I only added it because of some compelling arguments made here on the site. I didn't know enough about it and I never make picks unless I am sure of them myself. Lesson learned. Mad at myself about this.

Wisconsin -6.0... Up 19 - 0 and then have a total meltdown against a shitty Michigan team?

(Ark State loss I have no qualms with)

But what makes me the angriest...

Look at post #6... in this thread...

Games I considered but eventually didn't make the cut;

TCU +18.0
Buffalo +6.5
San Jose State +3.0
UCLA +6.5
Mich State -8.5
Northen Illinois -6.0

Mich State - WINNER
UCLA - WINNER
Northern Illinois - WINNER
Buffalo - WINNER

For the second straight week I throw out a ton of winners. This is so frustrating. I feel like I'm right on the cusp of being a good capper but I just can't quite make the leap. It is so so so so frustrating

[VegasDave]

Now Illinois misses a 33 yard FG... grrrr I hate weekends like this!

[VegasDave]

Stupid ass trick play.

Come on Illinois, get some points!!!

[VegasDave]

43 yarder... okay. Now just don't get outscored by 8 Illini!

94 yard kick return, that didn't take long!

[xyzky]

I did not bet Ill. but #1 I am rooting for you and #2 I hope they win this game straight up!!

Thank you buddy.. I'm crushed because I had such high hopes for this weekend ... but an Illinois cover makes me 5 - 5 for the Washington game and I can live with 5 - 6. Really don't want to go 4 - 7 on a weekend I was super confident in.

Penn State moving the ball at will here

[VegasDave]

TD Penn State... Illinois just fvcking pylons out there.

[VegasDave]

Illinois fumble inside their own 40

[VegasDave]

6 more minutes, please hang on Illinois, pleeeease?

[gm2022]

gl

[VegasDave]

Nope... 4 minutes Penn State on the Illinois 42... I'm gonna get screwed at the last minute in this one too

[VegasDave]

Run out the clock. Ballgame. HUGE. Thank you Joe Pa!!!

[VegasDave]

*Wow* This Washington defense is garbage.

But thats okay, I'm 5 - 6 on the day at worst. I'm just going to crack open a beer and try to relax.

[VegasDave]

Locker injury he is out of uniform makes this game an instant-lose. Very annoying end to a very frustrating day.

San Jose State +3.0
UCLA +6.5
Mich State -8.5
Northen Illinois -6.0

UNREAL. The picks I put on the video go 5 - 6 but my 6 picks that I cut go 5 - 1. If I didn't add the Miami game and played all the games I liked I would have been 10 - 6... instead I have a losing week

[gm2022]

Im so ready to end this week on a good note!
