What an exciting weekend it was for college football. Our posted picks went 6-6 on the weekend, but we should’ve been better. That brings our record on the year to 14-11, which is 56%, and still making money, just not as well as we’d prefer. Below is the recap of our week 2 picks and why did/didn't cover.
Arizona -7 @ UTSA. Arizona couldn’t finish once it got into UTSA territory. They constantly stalled out, and was forced to settle for field goals. If they could’ve turned one of those field goals into a touchdown, this would’ve been a cover instead of a loss.
Toledo +3.5 vs Missouri. This game should’ve been a lot closer. A few times Ely overthrew a wide open receiver that would’ve been good for a td, and ended up punting. Missouri took advantage of it’s turnovers, and scored points off of them. Missouri made a lot of great plays, and was just the better team in this game. This is one we would’ve lost no matter what.
Tennessee -17 home against Arkansas State. 2 missed field goals by Tennessee. If that guy makes one of them we get the cover.
Army -3 vs Buffalo. Finally a victory. Army ran all over the Bulls, just like expected. They tried to make it interesting at the end by letting Buffalo back in it, but held on long enough for the victory and the cover.
New Mexico State -2 @ Georgia State. This game should’ve been a loss. I wrote it down as a loss when GSU got up 17-0, but NMST didn’t give up and fought back the whole game. They shook off the early rust and came back to win in a closer than it should’ve been game. Sometimes you need to get lucky.
Kentucky -13 vs Ohio. Kentucky jumped out to the early lead and cover and then set the cruise control for the rest of the game. This wasn’t the cleanest game, but it would’ve been a different outcome had Kentucky not jumped out to that early 14 point lead.
Maryland -14 @ South Florida. Maryland won, but didn’t get the cover. Maryland had 6 turnovers. You can’t have 6 turnovers and expect to cover, they are lucky they won the game to begin with. You must protect the ball better if you’re going to play in the Big Ten.
Texas +1.5 vs BYU. This was the tale of 2 halfs. The first half, texas held their own and just needed a td to win/cover. But in the 2nd half BYU just ran away with the game. They put the pedal to the metal and never looked back.
Mississippi -20 @ Vanderbilt. Mississippi owned this game from the opening drive. Vanderbilt was overmatched at every facet of the game. It played out just like we expected.
Auburn -32 vs San Jose State. This one started out 7-7, and the way SJST came right back and matched that first Auburn td, I thought we would be in for a long night. But Auburn shook off that first drive, and went on to destroy SJST.
Virginia Tech +11 @ Ohio State. I figured VT would be able to keep this game close. I never imagined they would win it outright. The offensive line troubles are still apparent at OSU, and the VT defense lived up to expectations. Beamer finally has talent back on this team, and we know what he can do with talent. Watch out for VT this year.
And that was our week in college football. NFL games are on today, and I posted my NFL picks earlier this week. Make sure to check out those picks, come back later this week for week 3 of college football, and remember to follow me on twitter @Dustin_Dominiak
