College Football Anti-Picks, Week 2

Record Last Week: 3-0 (!)
Total Outlay, Week 1: $200.00
Total Winnings, Week 1: $468.58
Win, Week 1: $268.58

What a way to start the college football handicapping season!  I don't think I've ever gone perfect on college football's opening week ... though it helps that I only bet on two games instead of the 6-10 I've done in years past.

---

1) Oregon -23 1/2 (Taking a flier that the Ducks are as good as they've always been, and that hosts Virginia are as bad as I've always thought they've been) $50

2) Ohio St. -28 (They host a San Diego St. team that got creamed by a second-division squad at home.  I doubt the Aztecs are going to bounce back against the Buckeyes, and I don't think there's going to be any opportunity for a letdown.  Triple Best Bet this) $150

3) Michigan -4 (The Wolverines and Notre Dame are not scheduled to play each other after next year, therefore this might be the last time in a long time they face each other at Michigan Stadium.  Two years ago they played the first night game in Michigan's history, and it was a classic: Three touchdowns in the last 72 seconds, with the Wolverines getting the ball last -- and the victory.  One other thing at stake Saturday night: The best winning percentage in the all-time college football standings, according to Yahoo! Sport's Pat Forde.  Now that's research.  Anyway, such a rivalry with so much importance favors the home team) $50

4) Oregon St. -27 (The Beavers were ranked last week but were beaten by second-division Eastern Washington at home.  They will be focused against Hawai'i, who covered a big spread against USC but now have to travel to the mainland.  This does not look good.) $100

5) Parlay 2) and 4), for $50.

Good luck!
