With the MAC ramping up their Tuesday night schedules, I will post the lines for the Tuesday-Friday games on Tuesday afternoon from here on. The Saturday picks will all be up by noon on Saturday.

In case you are new to this, I will give you a little introduction to the madness. For the last six years, I have been picking every FBS vs. FBS game against the spread.

Believe me, it is not as easy as it sounds. My personal best was set last season at 55.01%. I was aiming for 57% this year, but it is not going as planned. I am going to have a hard time getting to .500.

I take the average of the odds from each Vegas casino and pick against that. I round all spreads to the nearest half point. There will be no pushing here. Save that for your next mosh pit.

I have been doing things a little differently this year. Instead of picking all of the games on Thursday, I have split them up to get more accurate spreads. Though as some of you have pointed out, this doesn’t do a whole lot of good for those that bet a late game with an early game on the same ticket. Due to that, I will have the noon kicks on Saturday up Friday evening, and the rest of the Saturday games up an hour before the noon eastern kickoffs on Saturday.

This is for entertainment purposes only. I cannot be responsible for you losing your dog, horse, car, or any other mode of transportation. I am a simple man. I cannot have that on my conscience.

Massachusetts at Akron(-6.5): Nope, I don’t but this. As long as Frohnapfel plays for the Minutemen, they win straight up. So far the reports indicate that he will. Give me UMass.

Northern Illinois(-2.5) at Ohio: This is way too low. NIU wins easily!

Kent State at Buffalo(-7.5): I don’t like the half, but I like Kent even less. Buffalo it is!

Bowling Green at Toledo(-7.5): This game is going to be cold, and there is snow in the forecast, which will likely ground both offenses. I think this stays a one score game. I will take BGSU.

(13)Kansas State at West Virginia(-1.5): Wow……..just…….wow. There is no way I can see WVU winning this game. Give me K-State for my lock of the early games.

North Carolina at (21) Duke(-6.5): The Duke defense is not where it was last year. That said, UNC won’t be able to stop Duke either. Give me Duke at home.

Arkansas State(-6.5) at Texas State: The Red Wolves are the class of the Sun Belt, and it really isn’t close. Give me Arkansas State.

UTEP at Rice(-9.5): This line is falling, but I think it’s down too far now. Give me Rice.

Air Force at San Diego State(-3.5): This line is all over the place. It is anywhere from 2 to 5 depending on where you look. That said, for anything under a TD, I’m taking the home team.

San Jose State at Utah State(-11.5): The Aggie defense has been outstanding in conference play. I can’t go against that now. Give me Utah State.

We have a big week in store for you on Fantasy CPR! Stay tuned for the NBA FanDuel lineups every day. We will also have some waiver adds, and start/sit for the upcoming weekend in the NFL. For you college football nuts, I will have my odds and predictions for the rest of the weekend games along with my picks for ESPN College Pick Em and College Football Challenge.
