First of all I would like to say hi and welcome back for another season of College ball. I have been doing this a while and have done all right. My plays have not been documented so I am not going to throw stats out there but have made money in each of the last 3 years.

I wish nothing but the best for everyone and I look forward to swapping ideas and picks with everyone on this board for I always respect and am open at looking at different angels and opinions but I stick to my guns with my picks because I believe in what I do. My goal like everyone else in here is to make money. I hope we all accommplish that goal this year in a big way.

I don't play a tremendous amount of plays every week. On average I play 4-5 plays per week. All based on value, some weeks may only be 1-2 plays other weeks could be as many as 7-8. I play a 1-5 unit system, as of now I have two games that I see tremendous value. My write up's are brief because I like to spend more time anaylizing games rather than explaining them so I will give you just a general overview why I like particular games.

1. Tulsa/Tulane: Tulsa crushed Tulane last year 56-7 in Tulsa. Some changes this year as Tulsa has a new QB in G.J. Kinne. Kinne has looked dominate in practice all year so I do expect a drop off in Offensive production but nothing drastic. Even though they just named him as a starter my source tells me the decision was made quite some time ago and Tulsa was just being secretive to slow down Tulane's preperation. Tulsa is young up front on the O-line witch is never a good thing but Tulane's D-Line is even younger and less expierenced so advantage still with Tulsa. Tulsa is a deeper team all around especially at the skilled positions minus the QB position. Pluses for Tulane is a more experenced QB, home game, and the revenge factor from last years embarassing loss. Tulsa's depth and talent will be too much for the Green Wave again this year.

Tulsa-41
Tulane-20
TULSA -14(3 Units)
2. Minnesota/Syracuse: The line on this game just baffels me. It has trap game written all over it. I don't buy it though. Bottom line up front Syracuse is bad to begin with and to top it off they are incorporating a new system. Usually not good news especially against an opponent that is better than you in the first place and being the first game of the year (Case and Point Oregan last night)Syracuse averaged 21.3 pt losses last year to include a 14 pt home loss to Akron and a 20 pt road loss to Northwestern. Both teams that I have ranked similar to this years Minnessota's team. Ohh yes and don't forget about the Paulus factor. No way in his first collegiate game he is going to be effective especially against a decent team in the Gophers. I basically treat this as a first year freshman coming in and competing in a big time conference it is not going to be pretty. I am sure Syracuse will be very conservative with runs and short throws which the Gopher D will be all over. The Gophers are tweeking their offensive scheme this year as well but going to a more ball controlled running game which is alot easier to adjust to than going from a run team to a passing team. That is only going to help open up the passing game for (Jr.) Gopher QB Adam Weber who has the tools and expierence to make all the throws to his talented group of Wideouts. Syracuse is a Senior heavy team but the talent is just not there.

Minnessota-31
Syracuse-13
Minnessota -7(4 Units)

love that team, was able to get in a play on them tonight. i wont count it on my record cause i couldn't post it on here in time. but what a fun team to watch. i will say as a side note i have been to tulsa twice and stayed by the cherokee casino there. was real suprised about the amount of really shady characters in that real bad neighborhood. never felt as unsafe there as any where in my life and i been every where. i'd go again, i had an ace in the hole with me both times but man, be on your toes if you ever go out there to catch a game.

Paulus shocked the heck out of me and I think alot of people today. That kid is going to be all right. Minni could have put the game away early but shady play calling and lack of execution cost them. Minnie I believe is in for a tough year if their O-line doesn't get better fast and the recieving corps doesn't drop everthing put in their hands. Still a winning week and I will take it as I believe I faired better than most today.

Going to add Colorado -10 hoping the line was going to drop even further but looks like it has leveled off. Right now a 2 unit play and if the line does drop further tomorrow I will add more

Tulsa -14 (winner) 3 units
Minnessota -7 (loser) 4 units
Uconn -3.5 (winner) 2 units
Colorado -10 (Pending) 2 Units

Good luck to all!​
