Tracking my 2007 fantasy football picks

No more weirdness, please

Oct 20, 2007, 8:39am | Posted by Steve

That was kind of a tough way to lose a bet Friday, Connecticut winning on the strength of "the fair catch that wasn't." I really shouldn't complain, though, as Louisville really shouldn't have ever let the game get close. The Cardinals have to be the biggest disappointment of the 2007 season.

10/19 College Results

Louisville (-3) at UConn - Loss

(For final scores, see the season record page.)

I've got a moderate-sized slate of games today. If I add anything else, it would likely be a second-half plays on games where the opportunities present themself.

It's been a tough season to handicap college football. I'm sub-.500 so far and I'm far from alone. Many other college bettors I talk with are having the same tough run. Let's hope the weirdness is over and I can get back to winning.

ACTION: 10/20

Cincinnati (-9.5) at Pitt
Fla. Atlantic (-6.5) at Louisiana-Lafayette
Iowa at Purdue (-7)
Kansas (-3) at Colorado
Kansas St. (+3) at Oklahoma St.
Memphis at Rice (-1)
Oklahoma at Iowa St. (Under 57)
Texas (-13.5 1H) at Baylor
Texas (-24) at Baylor
USC at Notre Dame (+19)

1:25pm
Texas spent the first half experimenting with the running game, played lazy defense and gave up points due to a freak play. The Horns lead 10-7 but probably should be up 20-0 or 27-0. Mack Brown's embarassed, so I look for him to try and pile on every point he can after the half. I absolutely love Texas -14 in the second half and I'm on it.

10/20 Added play

Texas (-14 2H) at Baylor

4:18pm
Kentucky's win at LSU cost them physically. They're beat up today and I look for Florida to really pull away in the second half. And the Texas Tech and Missouri offenses are like time bombs waiting to go off.

10/20 Added plays

Florida (pk 2H) at Kentucky
Texas Tech at Missouri (Over 34 2H)

5:45pm
I'm tacking on a trio of plays I had looked at earlier in the week, then just forgotten about:

10/20 Added play

Virginia (+4) at Maryland
Colorado St. at UNLV (-3)
Stanford (+14) at Arizona

8:20pm
Last one of the day:

10/20 Added play

Oregon (-4.5 2H) at Washington

9:50pm
I lied just above. I can't pass up the chance to take LSU in the second half. I'm tempted to really unload, as I can't see them losing back-to-back games, but I'll keep it at only 2 units.

10/20 Added play

Auburn at LSU (-7 2H)
