Last year: didn't post picks.  May have won enough to pay for my pre-season mags, newsletters and Directv package.  Or maybe not.

Thursday: no plays.  Can't find one I like.

Friday:  Ditto.

Saturday:

Wisconsin -25.5

Colorado -11.5

ULL +10.5

Wyoming -11

LA Tech +8

Laying some chalk, no doubt.  I'm mainly fading Akron, CSU and Ohio.  Hard to see how they can compete.  Akron is facing a brutal Wisky OL with three returning DL from a line that gave up a ton of yards.  A penalty here, a turnover there and Wisky wins big.

If I'm Hawkins, I'm looking for a chance to welcome my new cross-state rival to the recruiting territory.  I'm running it up.  Hawkins did that at Boise with regularity.

Ohio basically blows.  Hoping it's by the 17 points I think it will be.

ULL's getting double digits against a team with a new coach and ten  returning starters.  ULL's got some skill players.  I like it.

LA Tech getting 8 at home against Miss St.  How many times have the Bulldogs been favored on the road in the last few years?   Three times?   Worth a shot.

Also, for the record, threw down some lunch money on Mizzu to win the conference (5/2) and to win the BCS (15-1).  A very favorable schedule, great returning players and lots of them.

Good luck this season. 

Guessing this is my whole card, but I might add if I'm truly degenerate.

Adding:

Alabama +4.5

Little bit of a contrary play here.  Looking for a low scoring game.  Three points either way.

Bit of a frustrating first week, getting backdoored without vaseline by Wisconsin, ahead of the number with the ball at mid-field fumbling and then giving up a touch with 38 seconds left...on my first play of the season.

3-3 so far.

Adding:

UCLA +7.5

The line movement is fishy and nobody but nobody likes UCLA.  Gotta take it, just to be contrary.

May add Fresno.  Waiting to see line movement.
