I feel like we’ve seen this before...

Adam points out fault with UCF, JJ points out Iowa beat an FCS and a MAC team by a combined 12 points...at home.

Now somebody points out that Stanford couldn’t score more than 10 points even though they were inside the SC 30 on 8 different occasions today.

Not only did they not cover the spread they lost! Fuck I’m taking it in the shorts in pickems...I hate early season bye weeks.

Patrick and I told you turkeys to take USC...and I’m a Stanford fan.

A couple crappy losses for me in the pick ’em today. Firstly, I stupidly picked McNeese State against Nebraska not thinking that it was just a winner pick on that one and Western Kentucky leading all damn day and then losing by 8. And just a few bad picks (cough Michigan cough).

Iowa is god awful. I know Miami ain’t great this year, but Iowa is pathetic.

I went from the pent house last week to the outhouse this week. Lets see West Kentucky, Mich St (all the need was to stop 4th down cover by .5), Georgia St give up TD with 15 sec left, and of course Stanford blowing so many opportunities.

Yeah, I lost the GA State one as well. I forgot about that tough beat.

I feel like I did terrible this week, but I think it’s probably not quite as bad as I’m making it out to be.

I’ve been pissed all day watching picks fall against me. However one week will get dropped and its only week 2. I feel that someone will have to average 20+ every week to win and place in the beer this year as we choose twice as many games as past years.

Well, this week was easy in a sense that half of the top 25 were playing cupcake FSC schools so you pretty much get an automatic win on those since you just have to say "yes, Baylor will beat Northwestern State"...unless you’re an idiot like me and accidentally pick McNeese State to win outright at Nebraska (though that one almost paid off).

I picked ND St straight up last week and was the only one to pay off on that.
