How I manage to get worse at this every year needs to be studied.
Hey - at least you got 2 right.
Somehow I got 1.
Fucking 1!
Picking randomly I should have gotten 3....
I got a zero 2 years ago. you should get something for picking them all wrong.
After getting the only pick I wanted to be wrong on correct last week, things can only improve......right?.....RIGHT???
LOLuva at NC State (NCSU -3.5) - I think this could really go either way but I can't bring myself to pick UVA
Iowa at (16) Iowa State (Ia St -3.5) - home team in a rivalry
Baylor at (17) Southern M (SMU -3.5) - as annoying as it is, SMU is good
(20) Old Miss at Kentucky (OMe -10.5) - IDK, honestly
(12) Arizona State at Miss St (AzSt -6.5) - I can't pick two Mississippi teams to win in the same week
(15) Michigan at (18) Oklahoma (Okla -5.5) - Michigan winning would annoy me more, so that's probably what will happen. I'll be rooting for OU
Went with all home teams this week!

BOTW: Coors Banquet. Simple and clean. With with USMNT playing at 5, then VT at 730, need just a lil lower abv...
Hate to say it, FAM, but take LOLUVA in that NCSU matchup.
ECU and Coastal are not terribly different teams, and NCSU really struggled for most of that game. LOLUVA has a QB and a couple weapons around him, along with a revamped OL. That isn't the same old LOLUVA team. They will win in Raleigh this weekend.
Well that wasn't too bad of a start. I set the fucking tone, boys! Never lose again (until I inevitably do this week).

I may be nitpicking, but I got to tell you CBS made a change that's really annoying. If you look at the standings real time it shows everybody having points for games that have not finished yet. What the fuck is up with that? Totally confusing and misleading.
As Daniel Craig playing Joe Bang in Logan Lucky says: "no peekin!"
Absolutely agree. Tbh, the spread lines have felt super lazy the past couple of years as well. I think I'm going to have to explore other options next year.
Recommendation for this the rest of this season: Dont include any VT games in the Pick 6
Bad news I went from 2 correct to only 1. Good news that's 1 more win than Brent Pry has managed this year.
Well, VT played luke I picked, only UVA saved me from an 0fer
I didn't save my picks earlier this week and only checked just after the 3:30 games kicked off. Still managed 1-1 and based on what I'd picked, I would have only gone 2-4 anyway.
That, in and of itself, is a red X against CBS. I know we've used it for a long time, but it's annoying to pick and not have them saved. Espn autosaves as you pick...you can't erase a double digit lead on there. Sadly, I don't think you can pick the games.
Moved up from 3 wins to 4 from last week to this week.(Damn Iowa St won by on 3.5 pt spread and SMU lost by 3 in double OT or I coulda been 6-0 (correctly figured Ole Miss And AZ couldn't cover 10.5 and 6.5 pt spreads on the road,))
Moved me up from tied for 19th to tied for 3rd. That and fun tailgating from 830 am (friend slept in the rest area so didn't make my 6 am target) til 630 pm and the rain holding off were the best parts of yesterday.
Back to reality for stadium experience vs last week(entry line time 20 minutes; zero wifi/cell service -until the stands emptied mid 4th quarter.)
Lol. 1. I got 1 fucking game right.
I feel ya bro. I had 1 right week 1. I made an incredible improvement to 2 wins this week.
Good news, I doubled my wins from last week. Bad news, that means I won 2 games.
Glad I am not betting money on this or else I would be pissed losing 3 games (UVA, IOWA ST, SMU) by 0.5 points each.
I am consistent right now with 2 wins per week.
