Week One Results

Applebee�s in Clarks Vegas has lost their liquor license! I know that it seems like I�m burying the lead here, but this is big news. I discovered this during the worst time ever. But I digress. Starting off the noon games, I was able to sneak out 2-1 (Penn State and Louisville winners, Illinois State a loser) and that was able to get me to the 3:30 games. Those were not so pretty as I went 1-2 (Miami was the winner, Colorado State and FIU were the losers). I was hoping to turn it all around for the night session and was planning on going to Applebee�s, that�s when the unimaginable became imaginable. Or something.

The skies opened up with a Clark�s Vegas rain storm the likes that none of us have seen. It was almost as if angel tears were washing away all of the bad decisions I had made that day. And as I rode thru the monsoon, I was practically giddy, despite my awful day, that I was going to turn it all around with a 2 for 25 for 1, followed by a few adult beverages that I felt I had somehow earned. Oh what a surprise we were in for when we discovered, that despite having a bar area, they had lost their ability to serve the sweet spirits. The rain that a few moments prior had seemed so refreshing now seemed like a black cloud. Perhaps today is not the day for me. Instead, I rushed to a local Burger King for a 5.00 meal and ate it alone in my living room as the rain poured down. No matter how badly I wanted this week to go well, mother nature had other ideas.

To summarize, I ended up 3-3, did not earn a night session, ate Burger King ****, and fell asleep at around 9:30. And again, the Applebee�s in Clarks Vegas has lost their liquor license! Something must be done.

Money Earned during Week 2 -4.10
Year to Date Total +11.90

Week 2 Predictions � .
Noon
Michigan -7.5 over Texas � I�ve been on the �Michigan sucks� bandwagon for so long that I have not noticed that the boat has gotten kinda full. When everyone starts to agree with you, then you are probably wrong.
Arkansas +8 over Oklahoma State � �I�m a man, I�m 40!� That rant never gets old. I think Oklahoma State wins here, just not by 8.
Syracuse +3 over Georgia Tech � With all the noise in the ACC with Florida State and Clemson being a bit exposed, it leaves a bit of room at the top. Why not Syracuse? They do have Kyle McCord at QB.

3:30
Northern Illinois +29.5 over Notre Dame � Notre Dame will naturally have a fall off this week following the big win at Texas AM. Big enough to lose? Doubtful, but over 4 TD is a bit much.
Iowa money line over Iowa State � Iowa came to life last week in the 2nd half, scoring about a month�s worth of points. Perhaps they have finally figured out how the forward pass works?
Ole Miss -39.5 over Middle Tennessee State � Lane train keeps on rolling

Night Games
Alabama -30.5 over South Florida � Last year, this was a gut check game for Sabin. It was also a rare road game vs a non-big **** football league school for Alabama.
Kansas -4.5 over Illinois � Kansas is sorta respectable again this year.
Colorado +8.5 over Nebraska � Colorado struggled last week, but they were playing the Rolls Royce of D2 teams.

LAST WEEK�S PICK RESULTS � Despite all the carnage of the first week, I was able to pull out a win in my POTW (pick of the week) as Penn State violated West Virginia worse than a pre-teen child left alone at the practice facility of Penn State circa 1996, making Eddie Brackets an impressive 7-1 on POTW

PICK OF THE WEEK � Northern Illinois +29.5 over Notre Dame.
