9-5-1 Last week. We hit all of our overs and unders.
27-17-2 total
Over all not a good weekend for sharps but not great for the General public either. The reason is because the sharps really took losses on games that did not have a huge public handle. Otherwise, USC didn’t cover, Stanford Lost, Washington didn’t cover, Alabama didn’t cover… This wasn’t a great week for anyone except well maybe us and the sportsbooks….
Winning Conferences – The big 10
Georgia St vs Penn State – Penn State enforces their will on Georgia State. They covered like the power house that they are. Their Defense once again allowing 0 points.
Wisconsin vs BYU – BYU was a sharp bet that lost. Wisconsin enforced their will on BYU using four running backs led by Jonathon Taylor. If Wisconsin can use 3 or 4 stud running backs to wear down big 10 defenses… Watch out. But if they can’t get 2 yards per carry vs Michigan then i don’t think that 20 Rbs would help them. Wisconsin Receivers looked awesome. Cephus and Davis out shined Jazz Peavy. Alex Hornibrook was a stud completing 19-20 passes breaking a Wisconsin record. If Wisconsin plays like this in the big 10, nobody is stopping them.
Army vs Ohio state – Ohio State back on track enforcing their will on Army but didn’t cover the spread by 1 point.
Air Force vs Michigan – Michigan still has passing woes. Great running game at least. Unders Unders Unders. They didn’t even come close to covering this huge spread of 24. Air Force may be a team to be on once again this year.
Purdue vs Missouri – Purdue winning out right vs SEC was the biggest story to me. We were on the money line here. Some sharps were on Missouri. David Blough 22-28 passing 1 TD. They found a solid running back in Tario Fuller. Jeff Brohm has really turned this program around and I will not feel comfortable when the Badgers play Purdue Oct 14. At least it is at home. Purdue is better than Northwestern.
Northern Illinois at Nebraska – The biggest loss for the big 10 was this by far. Nebraska started the game out poor giving up 2 defensive pick 6s to NIU. PATHETIC. Nebraska made this game close afterwords but could not dig themselves out of this one. They needed a 5th quarter.
The SEC- No major losses.
Tennessee vs Florida – Tennessee deserved to lose this game the way that they did. Florida had an awful strip of the ball that should have been a TD for Florida instead it was a touchback for Tennessee. Butch Jones is an awful situational game coach. He will blow a game in the most fashionable way possible. HELLO PREVENT DEFENSE WITH 9 SECONDS LEFT!!! How do you let someone beat you over the top???? Right before this happened, I told someone that I kinda wish Tennessee missed that field goal to tie the game because at least we could get a win ATS instead of a push or loss. We pushed on this one cause we got the line early at 6 but what an ugly game. Butch Jones is JUST AWFUL. If Butch Jones played Arkansas with Bret Beliema in a bowl game, the would call it the completely incompetent bowl. Nobody could win! Impossible
Auburn looked awful vs Tomato can Mercer. Auburn has a bad offense and beat them 24-10. How sad
Kansas State vs Vanderbilt – Pretty boring game if you like offense and there was some awful officiating. Vandy’s win is what made it for the SEC. Kansas State was robbed early by the penguins taking a way a defensive Touchdown. There was absolutely 0 evidence that QB Kyle Shermer’s knee was down on that fumble. The officials ASSUMED IT and they are supposed to go by actual video evidence.. This play turned the tides on Kansas State and set the tone of the game early. There needs to be more accountability for bad officiating in the NCAA and the NFL. Since I am ranting about this here is an idea, pay the officials $8,000 per game and have a performance caveat that you can be fined down to making $2000 a game with bad calls. That would clean this game up some in my opinion.
LSU vs Miss state – LSU’s defense looked so bad that I thought I might lose this under bet of 51.5 in the third quarter. I Thought that I might. Didn’t happen
Alabama didn’t cover vs Colorado state. Not really sure what that means. I think they are being Lazy.
Kentucky vs South Carolina – Kentucky beating Sharp Darling South Carolina was the biggest story in the SEC. I guess some people could see it coming because South Carolina was getting a lot of lucky bounces their way until this game. They were out gained in Yards the last 2 games yet were still 2-0. This time they lost when they gained 5 more yards than Kentucky. The tide has turned on them and the law of averages aligned. This was a bad bet for me and now we know a little bit more about Kentucky.
Purdue beating Missouri was The SECs biggest loss yet Missouri is just awful. They should have never switched from a Defensive mindset to an Offensive mindset in my opinion. It doesn’t fit well in the SEC
The ACC
Clemson vs Louisville – Clemson enforced their will on Louisville and pretty much secured a spot in the College football playoff. Even if they let down against Florida State or Virginia Tech, they are in. But not both…
Baylor vs Duke – The public won on this bet. Unless of course they decided to take it at -14.5. This game landed right on 14 and I think some sharps didn’t get the best of this number. This game unfortunately still begs the question, is Duke this good or is Baylor this Bad? Duke can be a disruptor in the ACC.
OK State vs Pitt – Pitt got destroyed. Mason Rudolph is as much of a Heisman contender as anybody after this game. No look ahead spot here I suppose! Me and the Sharps were. WRONG! I am pretty excited to watch them play more.
Miami????? When are they going to play again???
Florida State????? We miss you, please come back….
Losing conferences this week
The Pack 12 –
USC vs Texas. Will the Real USC please stand up please stand up please stand up. I am mad at myself for not betting this. Texas is much more motivated now and I think they are better than Maryland. This was a perfect Let down spot for USC. Do you know why i didn’t bet it and take the 17 points? Cause
Stanford vs San Diego State – What another huge let down for Stanford. Lost playing their own game at San Diego State. Playoffs are OVER for Stanford. I can see them still screwing over Washington’s hopes at some point. Maybe good to back them next week anyways we shall see
UCLA vs Memphis – Crushing Defeat for UCLA. Both teams scored a lot of points in this shoot out. Both teams had 3 turnovers but Josh Rosens late pick 6 is what did him in. I bet his critics were happy. Rosen is a gun-slinger with a big mouth. He reminds me of Geoff George. Riley Ferguson played every bit as well as Rosen throwing for 6 TDs and 396 yards. He is now a Legitimate Heisman contender
Ole Miss vs Cal – What a great win for Justin Wilcox. The only shining moment of the Pac 12 this weekend. People underestimated him at Cal this year and he already hit 2 money lines for us. Justin Wilcox is a CASH COW.
The Big 12 –
That K state loss vs Vandy really hurt the big 12. Look for Bill Snyder to fix some of the problems in that passing game this week.
Baylor vs Duke – Baylor lost by 14 points and is now 0-3. Safe to say the sharps will now be off of this team. I actually am not so sure. I think Duke is legit and Baylor may get better.
Wasn’t a complete loss for the big 12 because Ok State smoked Pitt, TCU took care of business, and Oklahoma decided not to play nice with Tulane. Shame on me for that one. Shame Shame Shame
Potential Let down spots for week 4!
Duke at North Carolina
Florida at Kentucky
Vanderbilt Hosting Alabama, interesting that they didn’t look past K state last week. I will be on Alabama this week
Miss St at Georgia
San Diego State at Air force
Cal hosting USC kinda a let down spot but i wouldn’t bet on it….
Purdue hosting Michigan – Purdue will be a public dog here guaranteed
Look ahead spots for week 4
Clemson vs Boston College – Clemson plays Va tech week 5
Va Tech vs Old Dominion
Miami Oh at Central Michigan. – Miami Ohio looking ahead to Notre Dame?
