Hey everyone.
It was great to get the action going! From Ireland to Hawaii.
Here’s the Week 0 boxscore and wagering review. Let’s do ittttt !
Boxscore review:
SEC
Vanderbilt 63 Hawaii 10 – 601-358 yard edge, Vandy 35-CACK in 3Q, 400+ yards rushing
Big Ten
Northwestern 31 CORN 28 – Huskers led 28-17 and then FROSTED and blew it….528-465 yd edge for Wildcats, 0 sacks for CORN and only 110 rush yds
Illinois 38 Wyoming 6 – 477-212 yd edge….Number lands right on the number for total bettors that bagged “44”….Could be a long year for Wyoming just 30 passing yards, D didn’t look awful but got no help
ACC
Florida St 47 Duquesne 7 – 638-164 yd edge, vs FCS squad, 3 RB 100+ yds rushing
North Carolina 52 Florida A&M 24 – 608-335 yd edge, vs FCS squad, new QB Drake Maye looked good and he’s got sneaky wheels
Mountain West
Nevada 23 New Mexico St 12 – 303-257 yd edge for Aggies but they were (-5) (!) in turnovers…Both back-up QBs looked better especially Nevada’s BABY GIRAFFE Nate Cox who’s an impossible 6 foot 9 and much taller in high-heels…..the PULP FICTION GIMP made his first appearance of the season torturing New Mexico St bettors….Down by 8….Nevada just running clock first down after first down tho getting closer to FG range….stopped….uh oh….face mask….drive alive….Will Nevada get a late cover….INT!!!…oh wait…overturned….Nevada hits FG to go up 11….but WAIT!….Aggies fans have hope…..drive down the field looking to score a late meaningless TD…..get all the way down to the 9-yard line and then throw an INT…..23-12 final.
Utah St 31 UConn 20 – 542-364 yd edge for Utah St but they were down 14-CACK and Huskies ground game looked pretty good (245 yards)…..Huskies QB T Roberson may have suffered season-ending injury….back-up very raw but a mobile niblet that could get better…..Not crazy about Aggies D overall
UNLV 52 Idaho St 21 – 554-241 yd edge…..led 45-7 at half….Phil Steele’s #3 QB Doug Brumfield is #1 in your heart, looked great in the first half throwing for well over 300Y….Michigan St transfer Ricky White was deadly at WR but it was Idaho St, yo
Conference USA
North Texas 31 UTEP 13 – 400-399 yd edge for UTEP, led 7-zip and then it was all North Texas, 0 sacks for UTEP, Mean Green run D held up well (107)
WKU 38 Austin Peay 27 – 387-327 yd edge, +3 in t/o helped, bit of rain 2nd half, vs FCS squad, QB Reed was OK but no Zappe, and weapons a downgrade, 5 sacks
FAU 43 Charlotte 13 – HOOT HOOT – 482-279 yd edge, 7-0 Charlotte early and then glug glug glug….49ers looked bad, QB banged up a bit left shoulder came back in, D was disgusting
Betting review
Big plays
North Texas / UTEP under 55 (Win)
0-0 first Q, never really in doubt although there was a bit of scoring in the 2nd Q; line closed 52.5
Leans
3-3
Nailed Vandy but missed the line move by a few minutes so just a small wager, good call on NM St under, thought Charlotte would be a lot better
Season Win Total Club
Nice to get a win out of Vanderbilt and how can they not win three games? **
Wyoming might stink, so that’s good
** oh, it’s possible to go 2-10, yo
Futures and Props Club
We probably need Iowa to do it in the Big Ten West after CORN puked all over themselves with the 4-D chess coaching.
GOOD LUCK and ENJOY WEEK 1 !!
