Week 1 college Football Picks

[Cooper]

Last year I bet 104 games. I pushed four and finished right at 66% winning obviously 66 games if my record keeping was completely accurate.

I think the most games I played in any one week was 6 and that was opening week.

I try very hard to keep that number low but to open this season I am going a little further. I simply cannot narrow my list of plays down any further.

It may appear as bias, me betting three teams from Oklahoma, all favorites, but I assure you it is not. As most of you who followed me at all last year know, I'm a chalk better. But you also know I would not bet on the Oklahoma Sooners out of personal bias. To use the word hate would be an understatement and they have yet to invent a word that can describe my disdain for that university. But money is money...

If you have any questions about any of these plays please feel free to post them here and I will answer them as quickly as possible.

Oregon +4
Oklahoma State -6
Oklahoma - 21.5
Tulsa -13.5
Illinois -6.5
LSU -17
Texas -41
Cincinatti +5.5
Miami +6
USC -34.5
Auburn -13

That Stanford play stuck out like a sore thumb to me......I don't see how Wazzu can keep up in this one.

Two games stand out. Utah should walk away from State,somewhere in the vicinity of 30 to 35 points. Ball state too tough for No Texas at home. Ball by 27 or more,since No Texas has probably the worst defense in Div 1A. Good luck this year to all.

Ended up 7-5.

Not a great week, but a winning week. The Oregon game...I still like them...game plan was horrible though.

Oklahoma State...a poorly played game by both teams. OSU's defense is vastly improved. Offense...needs some work but credit Georgia's defense. Lower scoring than I thought. Other than that, pretty close.

Oklahoma - When I made that bet Gresham was healthy and of course there's no way to know Bradford would get hurt. Without Gresham though, it was gonna be tough either way. Since they didn't cover, I'm glad they lost. I hate those bastards.

Tulsa - Dominated just like I thought pretty much.

Illinois - WOW. As good as they are, how did Mizzou dominate them like they did? As I said before in the first ncaa podcast we did, Missouri has tons of speed and there's still talent there on that squad, but losing the players they lost last year and playing an Illini team that is as good as I think they can or should be...that's an amazing surprise to me. I thought it could be interesting, especially since it's a semi rivalry, but not what we saw...

LSU - Hell you tell me!

Texas - WTF TEXAS!!! THIS WAS THE GAME THAT MADE MY WEEKEND WHAT IT WAS, OR MORE ACCURATELY, WHAT IT WASN'T. They gave up 20 points to LA Monroe. They turned the ball over three times and that's the cover right there.

Cinci - They actually did even better than I expected and I was happy to see it.

Miami - Game went about like I thought it would. Either team could win in a close one...

USC - Nothing to say there, just about what I expected.

Auburn - Covered fairly easy but not as easily as I thought.

Stanford - I'll keep betting against Washington State until they bit me as long as the line is somewhat sane.
