Texas Tech 28 Arizona 22 – Nice win for the Red Raiders and Arizona just might be WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE….Texas Tech blew an 18-3 halftime lead and then quickly rebounded and held on to bag the win….A bit of a misleading final as the Wildcats won the yardage battle 422-331.

Washington 27 Michigan 17 – Huskies jumped out to a 14-CACK lead, Michigan stormed back behind backup QB Jack Tuttle to take a 17-14 lead….Washington bounced back to win thanks in large part to a pair of turnovers…..Washington was the better team, 429-287 yard edge, both teams have one Big Ten loss.
Minnesota 24 USC 17 – Very exciting finish and big win for the Gophers! They took the lead with a minute left, USC drove into Minnesota territory late in the 4Q but were picked off in the end zone……373-362 yard edge for the Trojans but they were (-2) in t/o margin.

Ole Miss 27 South Carolina 3 – Nice defensive game from Ole Miss and a rocking chair win….425-313 yard edge….South Cackalacky with a brutal start…..Tried a fake punt from their own 30 yard line – nope – 7-0 Ole Miss….Then they fumble….14-CACK Ole Miss…..GOODNIGHT, IRENE.
Texas A&M 41 Missouri 10 – Blowout city!….The Aggies made the switch back to Conner Weigman at QB and he looked great….Defense was nasty….512-254 yard edge….Don’t look now but Texas A&M is atop the SEC and they’ll still be there after next week’s game at Mississippi St.

Navy 34 Air Force 7 – ANCHORS AWEIGH, bay-bee as Navy also moves to 5-0!….463-273 yard edge.
UConn 29 Temple 20 – Yes, guy……TWO big outcomes in one game for SEASON WIN TOTAL CLUB………And more to the point, the Huskies got one game closer to bowl eligibility……Temple had the lead in the 4Q…..UConn took a 23-20 advantage with four minutes left…..and then the drama…..Goal line stand to win the game….On 4th down Temple fumbled and UConn ran it back 99 yards for a TD…..If you were one of the few people that had the total under 48.5 or lower and watched that final play you will probably never gamble on college football ever again.

Western Michigan 45 Ball St 42 – Wild back and forth game, 461-397 yard edge for the Broncos, nice to see Ball St show some life.
Mountain West
Boise St 62 Utah St 30 – Another big game from star RB Ashton Jeanty who had 186 rushing yards in one half before taking a well-deserved break, 599-507 yard edge for the Broncos, trip to Hawaii on deck.
Oregon St 39 Colorado St 31 (2OT) – Tough loss for the Rams who played their best game of the season, a TD with 2 min left gave them a 24-21 lead, Beavers sent the game to OT in the dying seconds with a 44-yard FG, Oregon St win in 2OT, 439-398 yard edge for Colorado St……UNDER 48 backers must have felt like they’d spent a decade in SHAWSHANK PRISON after that game, 14-10 (24) after the 3Q! What a SHARP play! Congrats!…..Uh oh, what’s this?…..TD….TD…..TD…..Ok, it’s 24-21 (45) with seconds remaining….Oh no….Oregon St in FG range…..44 yard attempt….It’s good…We’re tied at 24-24 and heading to OT…..Well done OVER backers! Sharp play and great pick!

Sun Belt
Marshall 52 Appalachian St 37 – Misleading final and decent effort from the Mountaineers considering the dire circumstances surrounding the community, 473-365 yard edge but they were (-2) in turnover margin, 236 rushing yards for Marshall.
ULM 21 James Madison 19 – WHOA, NELLIE! ULM has FOUR wins and they sit atop the Sun Belt West Division!….And we’re pumped to see that they’re just two games away from bowl eligibility…..The Warhawks have only played in one bowl game in school history….Misleading final tho as James Madison looked ready to take the lead before half and ULM got an 82-yard fumble return TD, James Madison won the yardage battle 399-257.
Coastal Carolina 45 Old Dominion 37 – Even game in the boxscore, 515-462 yard edge for Old Dominion but they were (-2) in turnover margin, big win for Coastal Carolina off the bye week to get back on track.
Texas St 38 Troy 17 – Bobcats got up early 14-CACK and that was it…..467-331 yard edge.
Louisiana 23 Southern Miss 13 – 410-177 yard edge for the Cajuns but they could only win by 10 points, tough result for our LEAN CLUB, held the ball for over 41 minutes, challenging games with Appalachian St and Coastal Carolina up next for the EMERGING JABBAWOCKEE that is the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns.
Arkansas St 18 South Alabama 17 – Yes, guy…..Another HEART ATTACK special for Arkansas St fans and our SEASON WIN TOTAL CLUB…..Leading 15-10 late in the 4th Q…..3RD and 25 for South Alabama from the Red Wolves’ 26-yard line with two minutes left……Looks like an Arkansas St win….nope…..TD South Alabama, miss 2pt conversion, 16-15….Arkansas St pulls another one out of the fire….FG in the dying seconds to win the game after a clutch drive.
Betting review
“Official” plays (see blog post from the summer – Message to Members – for bankroll management advice)
Washington ML (W) – Line was sitting at -2.5 for most of the week with the ML around -130/-135. We waited for the “sharp money” to come in on Michigan so we could get a to get a better price of -120. Using a Jonah Coleman image for the write-up was a prescient move by our GRAPHICS DEPARTMENT as he rushed for 80 yards and scored the game-winning TD.
South Carolina +9 (L) – The COCKS started the game with a big defensive stop. They get the ball and decide to try a fake punt from their own 30-yard line on 4th down. Nope. TD Ole Miss. Get the ball again. Fumble. TD Ole Miss. That was it. Strong effort from the Ole Miss defense and a well-deserved cover for Rebels’ backers.
Leans / Regular plays (see blog post from the summer – Message to Members – for bankroll management advice)
2-5. 0-1 Thursday. 2-4 Saturday. First yucky week for LEAN CLUB.
ML Underdog Parlay Club
Another winning week! Three winners and that makes it 4/6 weeks with winning TICKEE TICKEES including a pair of 4/5 explosions. We’ll try and keep it rolling this Saturday.
Season Win Total Club
Vanderbilt over 2.5 – WINNER! 3-3 already and they were good enough to beat ROLL TIDE.
Indiana over 5.5 – WINNER! 6-0 to start the season.
Troy under 6.5 – Hey, didn’t they lose again? 1-5 to start the season. One more loss and we lock it up.
Navy over 5.5 – 5-0 and still rolling, bay-bee. It pays to be a NAVY TRUTHER.
Connecticut over 4.5 – They’ve already booked four wins. One more and we’re golden.
FIU over 4 – Sitting at 2-3 after five weeks. The second half of the schedule is soft.
Arkansas St over 6 – Red Wolves are 3-2 with plenty of winnable games left on the docket.
Temple under 2.5 – Owls have one win through six games. Their easiest game remaining comes this week (Tulsa).
Louisiana Tech under 5 – Bulldogs are 1-3 to open the year and don’t look like a bowl team.
Michigan St over 4.5 – SPARTY playing better than expected. They’re 3-3 with the two toughest games behind them.
Hawaii over 5 – 2-3 to start the year. This one will be a fun sweat!
Arizona St under 4.5 – Playing very well and are off to a 4-1 start. One more win and we’re cooked.
Futures and Props Club
Miami to win the ACC at +450 looks like a decent grab. And don’t sleep on SMU at +2000 after their win over LUA-VUH.
Iowa St +1000 to win the Big 12 should be fun to track. And Utah is still in the mix at +325.
ROLL TIDE +900, Ole Miss +800, and Texas A&M at +2000 (undefeated in SEC play; top of the conference) are all looking interesting.
Heisman update – Jalen Milroe’s odds took a beating after the Vanderbilt game but he’s still in the mix.
Enjoy the games this week, PLAY SAFE, and we’ll talk to you on these pages after week 7!
