Good start to college season despite lousy start to NFL season. Here are my plays for WK 3:
$500 North Carolina -7....UNC showed a lot of heart vs UConn. East Carolina is not the same as last years team. I look for Heels to win this game by 14-17 pts while holding down ECU.
UNC 27 ECU 10
$100 Syracuse +3....Northwestern has not played anybody and not looked particulary impressive. Orange have already played 2 Big 10 teams losing in overtime to Minnesota and did cover at Penn State. I think Orange will win this game su.
Syracuse 27 Northwestern 23
$300 Kansas -23....It is hammer time for the Jayhawks. KU is likely the class of Big 12 north. Duke on the road for back to back weeks and will see how talented the Jayhawks are offensively in this one.
Kansas 48 Duke 13
$300 Notre Dame -10.....Irish have had problems with Spartans but I don't believe this will be one of those years. I see ND playing well on both sides of the ball this week and pound Michigan State.
Notre Dame 38 Michigan State 17
$100 Oklahoma State -32.5....I don't like to lay this many points but Cowboys should be in run it up mode vs poor Rice team.
Oklahoma State 63 Rice 17
$300 Stanford -17....Cardinals though they lost at Wake lw, have looked impressive. First home game vs undermanned SJ State team who has been game against them in the past. No matter here as Stanford gets back on track.
Stanford 41 Sj State 13
$100 Boston College +7....BC is live in this one vs Clemson team who is always up and down. BC I believe keeps this one within number.
Boston College 20 Clemson 17
$100 Washington +20....USC may or may not have Barkley but I make this decision based on Washington looking improved, Sarkisian knowing USC, and possible letdown after OSU playing back to back on the road.
USC 31 Washington 21
$500 Nebraska/Virginia Tech under 50.5.....I see a defensive struggle in this one. Special teams will play a huge role in a field position battle.
I have this one at 41 points so should have plenty of breathing room to stay under.
Total Card to date:
$500
North Carolina -7
Nebraska/Virginia Tech under 50.5
$300
Kansas -23
Stanford -17
Notre Dame -10
$100
Boston College +7
Oklahoma State -32.5
Washington +20
Syracuse +3
Will add more on game day.
