At first glance, I might have had my worst week in history. I hope that is not the case. I am in a big enough hole already!

Winners against the spread will be in bold.

Louisiana Tech at North Texas(-3.5): MISS! Dixon ran wild on North Texas, and he wasn’t the only one.

Houston at BYU(-17.5):MISS! BYU was well on their way to running off with this until Houston finally figured out their offense. It only took them 2.5 games…..

Toledo at Cincinnati(-10.5): MISS! I should have known better. This is not that start that I was looking for.

Baylor(-34.5) at Buffalo: HIT! No surprise here.

Indiana(-7.5) at Bowling Green: MISS! The MAC strikes again! This time they took down a team that actually has a shot at a bowl….

Kent State at Ohio State(-31.5): HIT! I guess I needed this as bad as the Buckeyes did….

Ohio at Marshall(-20.5): HIT! Woo hoo! Two in a row!

Central Florida at Missouri(-10.5): MISS! It looks like the Tigers might be flying under the radar again. They are cover machines right now.

Boise State(-16.5) at Connectcut: HIT! Ugly game by the Broncos, but at least they still covered.

East Carolina at Virginia Tech(-9.5): HIT! I was among the minority that liked ECU straight up.

Georgia Southern at Georgia Tech(-16.5): HIT! The Bees needed a late touchdown to avoid the upset.

Pittsburgh(-25.5) at Florida International: MISS! Pitt actually trailed 16-0 after the first quarter. Yuck!

Syracuse(-4.5) at Central Michigan: HIT! Big for for the Orange…….literally.

West Virginia at Maryland(-3.5): MISS! Oh well, at least it was a fun one to watch!

Massachusetts at Vanderbilt(-16.5):MISS! This is the worst Vanderbilt team in the 2000’s.

Louisville(-6.5) at Virginia: HIT! Underestimate the Cavs D at your own peril.

Air Force(-11.5) at Georgia State: MISS! Ugh. Air Force giving up four second half touchdowns did me in.

Wyoming at Oregon(-43.5):MISS! I really thought I picked Wyoming here. Craig Bohl has the team playing well. They actually led 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Kansas at Duke(-13.5): HIT! I really didn’t understand this line. KU might not win another game…..

Miami(OH) at Michigan(-33.5): MISS! The first in a long line of bad decisions.

North Carolina State(-1.5) at South Florida: MISS! Another ‘what was I thinking’ moment.

Arkansas at Texas Tech(EVEN): MISS! A dominant performance by the Hogs.

Arkansas State at Miami(FL)(-16.5): MISS! The Hurricanes played better all the way around, but this is a somewhat inferior team.

Iowa State at Iowa(-12.5): HIT! Iowa was begging to lose anyway.

Georgia(-6.5) at South Carolina: MISS! The Gamecock D played their best game of the year.

Louisiana-Lafayette at Mississippi(-27.5) HIT! The Rebs are looking like this could finally be the year.

Mississippi State(-13.5) at South Alabama: HIT! The SEC West is the most brutal division in college football, and it isn’t even close.

Minnesota at TCU(-15.5): MISS! So much for my “inside source”…….

Illinois at Washington(-13.5): MISS! I underestimated just how bad the Illinois defense is.

Army at Stanford(-28.5): HIT! Nice rebound for the Cardinal. Dominant defensive performance.

Western Michigan at Idaho(-2.5): MISS! I knew better! Idaho has been in my bottom five for a while now…..

Southern Mississippi at Alabama(-47.5): HIT! The Tide dominated, and didn’t come close to covering. That’s how insane this line was.

Eastern Michigan at Old Dominion(-18.5): MISS! So much for the ‘boatload of points’. The Monarchs didn’t even score what they were favored by!

Northern Illinois(-10.5) at UNLV: HIT! Kane isn’t as dynamic as Lynch, but he is doing well in this offense, and should only get better.

Western Kentucky at Middle Tennessee State(-1.5): MISS! With all due respect to Kentucky and Florida, this was the most entertaining game of the day.

UTSA at Oklahoma State(-13.5): MISS! Oklahoma State is better than anyone thought.

Wake Forest at Utah State(-15.5): MISS! The Aggies scored just seven points after Keaton left the game, otherwise this was a safe bet.

Tulsa(-1.5) at Florida Atlantic: MISS! This was a horrible loss for Tulsa.

Louisiana-Monroe at LSU(-31.5): MISS! The half got me.

Kentucky at Florida(-17.5): MISS! The Gators’ offensive woes reared their ugly head again.

Purdue at Notre Dame(-28.5): MISS! The Irish offense mostly sleepwalked through this one.

Penn State(-3.5) at Rutgers: MISS!Drug down by another half.

New Mexico State at UTEP(-10.5): HIT! Good showing offensively for the Miners.

USC(-17.5) at Boston College: MISS! The Trojans snowed me with the win at Stanford.

Tennessee at Oklahoma(-20.5): HIT! Wow, the defense looks good. Not quite 2000 good, but it’s getting there.

Navy(-9.5) at Texas State: HIT! Even without Reynolds, the Middies did well.

UCLA(-7.5) vs Texas: MISS! I let the Horns getting pushed around by BYU cloud my jugdment. I’m guessing that I wasn’t the only one.

Rice at Texas A&M(-32.5): MISS! I’m still surprised that the Aggies didn’t cover.

Arizona State(-16.5) at Colorado: MISS! When Kelly left this game, so did my chance of getting this right.

Nebraska(-13.5) at Fresno State: HIT! The Bulldogs’ defense is atrocious.

Nevada at Arizona(-19.5): HIT! Nevada is a solid team.

By my count, that put me at 20-31 on the week. That drops me to 57-77 on the year. I have never been this far below .500 this late in the season, so I have a lot of work to do.

Stay tuned today for the first predictions of the week!
