Lets see how many we can get for week 1 (only games on 9/1-9/2)

rules:
Pick the underdog in one game. If that team wins you get the spread points. Points will be tallied on a weekly basis.

example:

game:
9/1 3:30 ET At West Virginia -23 Western Michigan

post: Western Michigan +23 vs. West Virginia.
If Western Michigan wins, you earn 23 points for that week.
(Pick just one game) -- refer to last year's spread thread if you are still confused.

I'll start off:

Arizona +4 over BYU.

I'm surprised the Wildcats are the underdog, but the game is in Provo.

[size]

I like you play. It would be my #2.

I will take Wake Forest +6

[jmh80]

Georgia Tech +1.
(That line moved - I thought ND was a 3 or 4 point fav. just a few days ago.)

[jmh80]

I also think Cal beats UT.
Am still thinking on Clemson/FSU.

[Iron Warrior]

UCLA -17 over Stanford. The Cardinal is real bad.

[Iron Warrior]

My real money game is on UCLA -17 over Stanford
For this one I'll go with UAB +21.5

[BingeAndPurge]

Thanks for remembering to do this, CED. I completely forgot.

Toledo +6.5

[yankees3]

I'll take W.VA -23 even though i know i'm gonna be kicking my self later for not going PSU -37

Real money:
Cal -6
GT -1
W.VA -23
FSU -3
UCLA -18

[Outside Backer]

Ah ha! The teacher with the improper choice of words!!!!
The Cardinal ARE bad.

Oh - Arturo, Prince of Irony!



On a side note - anyone else think ESPN Gameday will be lame today?

[CEDeoudes59]

i thought gameday was decent, Lane Stadium was pretty loud - it's a smaller venue of course. They paid tribute to the victims and the school rather than to the shooter (unlike CNN and Fox will do tonight). ECU is holding their own, Sean Glennon is absolutely horrible. that's all for now

haha come on now, Penn State isn't losing to FIU. West Virginia getting upset would be the biggest one of the entire year.

[CEDeoudes59]

Thus far:

CED59: Arizona +4 over BYU
Size: Wake Forest +6 over Boston College
JMH80: Georgia Tech +1 over Irish
Iron Warrior: UAB +21.5 over Michigan State
BingeandPurge: Toledo +6.5 over Purdue
Yankees3: Georgia Tech +1 over Irish

*remember, you have to pick the underdog... not just cover the spread. The Underdog has to win regardless of the spread. Just making sure everyone is aware.

I'm a dumbass
I didn't read it as carefully as I thought I did and I posted a pick to cover the spread (thats why i posted WVU and PSU). Oh well, you can just put me 23 pts in the hole now and get it over with.

if there's a dog i think will win it's definitely GT

[CEDeoudes59]

you can change it, since that game hasn't started... but pick a game that has not begun.

edit: Yankees3 I changed your pick to GT +1 over Irish

also, there is no losing points in the scoring system (per same scoring system as last year). Either you get the spread points or you get 0.
You are encouraged to pick the big upsets. We should award 3 or 5 points for picking an upset, regardless of how big or small.

Appalachian state is exposing that slow Michigan Defense -- just like USC did on January 3rd. This is funny, Mike Hart and the line will have to control the ball if they are to beat App. State

oklahoma state over georgia. oh yeah, i went there!
