So let’s recap my own personal Cherynobl Meltdown last week.
Wins:
West Virginia vs Maryland over of 58
Losses:
Pitt +3
Auburn +3
Michigan State *5
Overall record: 7-7
What we learned: Wisconsin is really good. There was some talk of a Northern Illinois cover and upset last week. Wisconsin blew their doors off. Russell Wilson has what no other Wisconsin QB has had in like 20 years: Talent.
We also learned that the third week curse lives. The following teams had two home games the first two weeks of the season followed by a tough road game:
Pitt
Tennenssee
Ohio State
Arizona State
Michigan State
Guess what. They all lost outright.
Thus new rule:
Rule No. 13: Week 3 curse: Bet against or stay away completely of a team coming off two straight home games to open up the year.
On to the picks…
Tulsa at Boise St “over” of 62
They could put this at 70 and it is a good bet. Tulsa gave up 58 to Ok.St last week. Boise may scored 62 themselves.
Florida State +2.5 at Clemson
So wait all off sudden Clemson is considered good? Clemson finally exposed Auburn last week, but lets not forget Auburn was up 14-0. Florida State hung with Oklahoma. FSU all day.
LSU -5.5 at West Virginia
SEC vs Big East alert!!
WVU’s offense is coming together. But LSU’s defense is so much better. This is a touchdown game, even if it goes to overtime, you have to go with LSU. Huge moment for Dana Holgorsen.
Oregon -14.5 at Arizona
What a brutal schedule for Arizona. Third straight game against a top-15 ranked opponent.
Oregon has got its offensive rolling. Arizona defense has been getting torched. Oregon needs a good showing here. Look out.
Good luck to everyone.
