Well week 1 didn’t go exactly as we had planned, the good news is that we did end up winning 1 game and can still hold our head high and our bank roll isn’t at 0. And isn’t that what this is all about?
NC State Vs. South Carolina…
NC State was at home but still managed to look like crap. They have what can only be described as one of the worst coaches in the history of the world. The play calling was junk, the execution was junk, in fact just about everything they did was JUNK! Give the Ol’ Ball Coach credit he did manage to bring NC State into his type of game. Anything that is low scoring fits the South Carolina team to a tee! We call this the “Chess Club Strategy” – sure they don’t do a lot of scoring, but they do win games.
The Chess Club Strategy, sure it's a slow paced game and you aren't going to do a lot of scoring, but you could win.
What about Mizzou at U of I?
Well we learned the U of I is dead. I don’t know what happened to them after the Rose Bowl but that team is dead. They aren’t going to come back – and with rumors of a few of their prized recruits leaving school with intent to transfer they are going to be in for a world of hurt. They did lose offensive guru Mike Locksley to New Mexico…or New Mexico State…whatever – I’m not betting on either, but that’s no excuse for how they looked. U of I couldn’t score, and they couldn’t stop Mizzou from scoring. It was just an awful awful ball game. If there is one thing to take away form this it’s that U of I is going to be awful, they are a dead team, Mizzou on the other hand may get some lines in their favor that they shouldn’t based of beating U of I. Keep an eye on the Mizzou lines if you want a team to bet against.
NIU invades Wisconsin
Finally a game I could bold as a WIN! Wisconsin does not look that great, Northern Illinois had some questionable play calling, and that my friends made for a fun game. Could Northern Illinois have won this game? Yeah, probably. Do I care? Nope. They won ATS and that my friends is good enough for me. Last year NIU started off 4-0 ATS, and I see that happening again. With a week off the betting lines vs. WIU, Northern will invade Purdue. Purdue had a very nice opening game victory against Toledo, a team that is going to suck this year. But Purdue still played well. If the line is anything like the Wisconsin line then I think taking NIU will be a good move.
Purdue starts next week vs. Oregon, so they aren’t getting the same “tune up” game NIU is getting. In fact, Purdue is probably looking at NIU as a “Tune Up” for Notre Dame the next week. Purdue will win the game, if the line is more than 14 they will lose ATS.
Well my friends we are 1 for 3, but fear not! We now have an NFL section of our site that is going to be launching this week that will give you the heads up for 3 games in the NFL this week that should lead you on the right path!
