    This here NCAAF Week One!!

    This year I'll be splitting my plays into online plays and my local. Online will have odds closer and my local's line usually comes out mid-week so I can sometimes find some goodies come Saturday morning. I found last year I made a bunch of online plays and wanted to figure that into my record so I got a truer sense of how I am doing. Also, by logging each as such on this board, it will help me with my bookkeeping. That being said, my posted plays last year went:

    116-94-1 // 55.24% // +20.60 units

    I was very happy with that result and would be so lucky to do it again.

    Thursday:

    Minnesota -14 over Eastern Illinois for four units (online)
    Boise St. +10.5 over Mississippi for two units (online)

    Friday:

    Connecticut/BYU u52 for two units (online)

    Saturday:

    Notre Dame/Rice u51 for two units (online)

    I haven't exactly figured out the formatting structure of how I will be posting, so that will be a work in progress.

    Love Minnesota here with Nelson transferring on offense, more reps for Leidner. Also Minnesota's defense was rotating on the DL last year so there are plenty of guys with experience coming back. EIU loses Garappolo to NFL and looks to be a rotation (two transfers came in, one mobile, one pocket). EIU loses it's entire coaching staff and the new HC is a guy from LaTech. FWIW, EIU is also 0-6 vs Big Ten.

    Going the way of the contrarian with Boise St. Ole Miss looks to be on everyone's radar this year, and especially this week. Lots of people on them. Ole Miss certainly has the talent to kill Boise, but we'll see. Their OL and Special Teams are question marks though. Their leading rushers from last year only gained 500-600 yards each. New kickers, holders, snappers. Also Ole Miss has an SEC opponent on deck, so maybe they're looking ahead. Boise has a good senior QB, a good rusher and receiver, lots of starters back on defense, and a very good kicker.

    UCONN/BYU under. Their OL and running game has been atrocious last two years only totalling 84 and 88 total yards on the ground each season, and they're in a rebuilding year! BYU's defense is usually really good, but their leading returning rusher is gone. Their star RB is suspended, two WRs are out, couple of LBs and their best returning LB is questionable. They have Texas on deck. I'm sure BYU will roll here, but I see total staying under. Take this bet with a grain of salt though, as you know anything can happen with UCONN...

    Notre Dame under, new turf, neither offense looks good and both defenses look decent. Golson is back but Jones is gone and backup is suspended. No WRs back with more than 210 yards receiving. Rice good secondary so they may look to run the ball and stretch the game. Rice has been known for the plethora of RBs they hold - and that's needed. Number 1 WR is injured, QB not accurate, starting TE is out, Rice has a new kicker. Notre Dame has Michigan on deck. If they can get a lead they may be able to bang a slow boring game out.

              Adding:

              Northwestern -10 over California for two units (online)
              LSU -4 over Wisconsin for two units (online)

              Added another two units to LSU. Think Wisky is a bit too one-dimensional on this matchup today. LSU will be disruptive all day with 8-9 in the box going against an inexperienced QB with inexperienced receivers. The game is being played in Houston and will likely have way more LSU fans travelling than Wisky fans.

                      Week One through Saturday's results:

                      Local: 3-1, +3.6 units (Florida ppd)
                      Online: 5-6-1, -2.7 units

                      Overall a great start to the week and morning. Way off on the Notre Dame total, almost hit the Ga. Southern ML (NC St cashed with 1:30 or so remaining), Arkansas ran out of gas despite being tied at half, and I'll have to read up on what WVU did right vs Alabama because I didn't see those points coming.
