SYRACUSE at 9 NOTRE DAME (ND -35.5)

16 uscW at 6 OREGON (0 -9.5)

24 TULANE at TEMPLE (2-Lane -8.5)

CALIFORNIA at STANFORD (CALI -3.5)

I went almost all away teams. That 35 pts to Cuse is hard to pass up.

Ok
Duke
Cuse
USC
Tulane
Cal

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

23 MISSOURI at 8 OKLAHOMA (OK -9.5)- line tightening so think big Mo loses but keeps under the spread
DUKE at UNCHEAT (D -6.5) - Duke pulls out the rivalry win
SYRACUSE at 9 NOTRE DAME (ND -
35.5) - c'mon at least ONE of the high spreads has to not get covered this pick 6 season
16 uscW at 6 OREGON (0 -9.5) - both good offenses but Oregon's D allows covering at home
24 TULANE at TEMPLE (2-Lane -8.5) n- line spread increasing; went with ranked to cover
CALIFORNIA at STANFORD (CALI -3.5) - Cal wins their rivalry game extending a 4 game win streak in this rivalry (but Stanford wins the prank war)

From the 2018 VT-uva game-"This is when LEGENDS are made!"

Sigh - thanks to Missouri for allowing the FG in 2nd half to allow OK to cover, Syracuse allowing ND to not only COVER the monstrous spread but nearly doubling it, and Cal shitting the bed to their rival, I reverted to my mean of 3 wins for the week. At least my ytd is still tied for 3rd place...eagerly awaiting the rivalry week pick 6!

TEMPLE for the CFP reeees

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

~Fuck me......*sigh*
"Oh my God.... They're gonna take all our recruits... like WTF bro...."
~*squints eyes in disbelief*

Fuck. Syracuse + 35.5 seemed impossible to lay off. Dormers up 35 in the first quarter!

49-0 with 3 minutes left in the half. That's how you impress the committee

70 points, 39 offensive snaps. Goodness gracious

More points than passing yards!
And only 18+ minutes of possession.
Wild.

They werre talking about the 63 point loss being the worst for the Cuse since Grover Cleveland was president...ahem, Oct 16, 1999 and Mr. Vick would like a word. And Cuse was ranked!!!!!

I agree our 62 point win was more impressive (shutout and ranked team vs this game's unranked Cuse team that fell apart after their QB went down early season) but the stats were correct re the worst losses for Cuse

Give VT their flowers!!!!!! Dammit!
(I know they were right, but could have thrown us a bone...)
Screw Notre Dame.

True-coulda used the 'in the modern era like they did forthat SEC comeback stat of 0-286...

From the 2018 VT-uva game-"This is when LEGENDS are made!"

I thought the same thing. Sigh.

Ashore guess the same tiebreaker as I and we were only 2 points off, feeling the flow!

You've been making me feel the heat for weeks!

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

I'm trying but my only luck had been tie breakers where I'm off by 3 total points in the last 4 weeks

Yeah my picks picked up this week's blitz as well as the VT OL.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Damn I only got 1.

I really Thought most of the dogs would cover this week.

USC and Cal really choked. I think Oregon was without like 3 WR for this game and still blew out the spread.
