2-0 with Tenn pending for Week 1

Week 2 Picks
West Virginia -8.5
Oklahoma -20.5
Ohio St -34.5
Texas Tech -9
Georgia -23
LSU -24

Major chalk for another week at least while the big teams play cupcakes.  I don't want to out think myself looking for upsets in these early stages.  With that said, I kind of like Stanford and Akron but I can't pull the trigger yet.

Any discussion or input welcome...

Best of luck at the football bro! I haven't even started capping the games for this weekend. I need to get on the ball. Glad to see you here.

No doubt STR8chaser, GL this year.

Cal-13s,Tulsa-20, West V-9, and Nebraska-24 look good as hell.

Thats funny because i thought that was the weakest

I like that Cal play too.  I might have to add it.  However, going up to Pullman is always hard for Pac10 teams.

Like Bowling Green -4 1/2 vs minnesota..

BG shocked Pitt last wk and minny was very fortunate to beat a N ill team that is picked to be one of the worst teams in the MAC

Pullman is a tough place for vistors.The only thing about Cal that makes me think twice is QB play.The mich st game would have been a blow out if not for dumb ass turnovers.LogansMichael i hear ya loud and clear Pitt got served on saturday. BG might be a sleeper for the year.

i have a feeling Longshore won't be playing much for Cal any more so those horrible INTs should be lessened. 

i think BG might have a little let down after that upset but i think Minn is terrible so BG probably still cruises.

Hey Str8, I see your "WEEK 2 PICKS" but I cant find your post for the first weeks picks. I was wondering who you took. I see you posted 2-0.

it was in someone else's thread:  Florida and Ok St.  I was waaaaay off on that Tenn pick.

i am starting to get nervous about all this chalk but these early weeks usually favor the favorites ATS.


LSU performed well last time there were hurricanes i believe.

I like 3/4 remaining plays. Okie, TxTk, & Ga

 

WVU did you book it already, because I see mostly -7.5 and some -8.

 

ECU has some talent, and a coach with pedigree and skills... and that line has dropped (altho the betting is about even now- so we cant say mountainmen are the public faves); I wouldnt go the other way, but there are a scad of other games to choose from.

 

GL w/ all your plays. I attended WVU as Frosh & Soph... but for some reason I cant amember too much.
