College Football for 9/21

We're picking against a bunch of new coaches on the road.

Virginia Tech because we think they will play hard for the military honors game like they did last year.

There's some bad blood from last year between Wyoming and Air Force, so we're on WY.

New Coaches:
LSU -17.5 1650
Florida -17 1650
Kansas -10 1650
Memphis +4 1650
Wisconsin -24 1650
Rutgers -2.5 1650
Miami-Ohio +23.5 1650

Virginia Tech -9.5 1650
Wyoming

Chiefs at Eagles TNF

Kansas City is the pick tonight.  Andy Reid has had this game circled on his calendar since this is his homecoming to Philadelphia.  This is the Chiefs only primetime game all year.  These extra motivating factors lead us to believe that Kansas City will be ready to play tonight.  Let's start off the week with an early win.

Mr. Pig and I start the week in 12th place with 21900, about 10000 behind the leader, and only 24/78 entries have over 20,000 units, the starting amount.

Kansas City +3.5 1650 WIN

NFL Week 2

After a 4-2 day in college yesterday we're looking to get back to the Mendoza Line.

We took San Diego early in the week when the line was +7.5 because Philadelphia is coming off a Monday night win against a division opponent and now playing a non-division opponent, so we like this as a letdown situation.  Even with all the talk about Chip Kelly's revolutionary offense they scored only 7 points in the second half Monday against Washington.  Philadelphia also has a big game Thursday against Andy Reid so it could be a lookahead as well.

We like Baltimore because they were screwed out of a home-opener last week and got embarrassed in Denver.  Now they're playing a team they never have trouble with on extended rest.

Dallas played the Giants on Sunday night football and now they travel to Kansas City, where the Arrowhead stadium home field advantage has been lying dormant for years, but will be resurrected this season.  Letdown game for Dallas.

We're taking Tampa Bay, but we're waiting and hoping the line moves to +3.5.  New Orleans beat TB 41-0 in their last matchup last season and Josh Freeman threw 4 interceptions, and TB lost last week in an embarrassing fashion to the Jets, so we think TB will be motivated.

Atlanta is good coming off a straight up loss and Stephen Jackson is playing his old team that thinks he is too old.  One player doesn't make a team, but when a key offensive player is motivated that should rub off on other players to step it up.

Atlanta -5.5 1100 WIN
San Diego +7.5 1100 WIN
Baltimore -6.5 1100 WIN 
Kansas City -3 1100 LOSS
Tampa Bay +3/3.5 1100 MISSED GAMETIME
