Review of Week 1

Before we get started:

Green Bay -2.5 -106 2x

Another absolutely terrible weekend on the college side. I should really know better than playing such a large card this early in the season. Not like I won't do it next year and bitch when I lose another 10 units. At least the books learned their lesson and didn't set a bunch of trap lines again for this coming week. Oh wait... Anyway.

San Jose State +27 @ Nebraska 2x

This game was a helluva lot closer than it should have been. Pelini wanted to run it up at the end.

Temple +6 vs. Connecticut 3x

What a shitshow. I thought I was screwed when the game went to overtime. Fortunately, Temple made their FG.

East Carolina +7 vs. West Virginia 2x

West Virginia didn't bend me over. I am shocked.

Cincinnati +22.5 @ Oklahoma 3x
Central Michigan +24 @ Georgia 2x

I had both of these circled as big plays early in the week. Late action made me reduce the size of the bet. Obviously, I should have just passed as these were never in question.

New Mexico ML @ Texas A&M 1x

This was absolutely the correct play. I have no regrets.

Duke +7 vs. Northwestern 1x

I didn't see a down of this game. At least I won. Woo?

Nevada +10 vs. Texas Tech 3x
Houston +15 @ Oklahoma State 4x
Louisiana Tech +22 @ Kansas 5x

These are grouped together because they were absolutely the right play. Nevada gave the game away, Houston was in it until the end, and Taylor Bennett, current LaTech and former GaTech QB, remains a flaming asshole. These are the types of plays that will make squares go bankrupt in Week 6.

UTEP +26 @ Texas 2x

This was probably forced. There wasn't a ton of Texas action.

UL Monroe +14.5 @ Arkansas

Arkansas is terrible this year. Too bad the secret is out now.

Baltimore +1.5 vs. Cincinnati 1x

The Ravens are vastly underrated. They are going to give the Stillers a run for their money in the AFC North.

Miami +3 vs. New York 1x
Tampa Bay +3 @ New Orleans 1x

These were such a teases. Fortunately, I remembered Chad Pennington still has a noodle arm and Jeff Garcia is still gay before I got my hopes up.

Houston +6.5 @ Pittsburgh 1x
St Louis +8.5 @ Philadelphia 1x
Cleveland +6 vs. Dallas 2x

These were all over before they stepped on the field. It's part of playing Week 1.

Atlanta +3 vs. Detroit 3x

Thank you, Michael Turner, for salvaging a shitty afternoon.

Chicago +10 @ Indianapolis 2x

Just because Neckbeard is the quarterback, it doesn't mean Chicago doesn't have a good defense. Also, Neckbeard looked serviceable against the banged up Colt secondary. It should be interesting to see how the public values the Bears from here on out.

Leans will be up tomorrow and it looks like there are going to be a lot of them, again.
