Here ten thoughts I have on Week 5 of the college football season. 1. I often wonder if Chip Kelly regrets taking the UCLA job. I don’t care what anyone says. Being 0-4 has to hurt Kelly’s pride. 2. No I don’t think coaches should put their hands on their players. Jimbo Fisher was in the wrong. Should he be reprimanded? Yes. Fired? No! That’s foolish. 3. I can’t believe…
Game Rewind: The Patriots got off to a fast start offensively and never looked back crushing the Dolphins 38-7. Here are five thoughts on the game. 1. Sony Stock Goes Up: We got a glimpse of why Bill Belichick used a first round pick on running back Sony Michel. The rookie running back carried the ball 25 times for 112 and a touchdown. Michel has the look of a starting…
The Patriots face an early season must win with division rival Miami in town. New England can ill-afford to lose this game and fall three games behind the Dolphins in the AFC East. Here are five keys for today’s game. 1. Get Off To A Better Start Offensively: The Patriots need to get off to a better start offensively than they have the past two weeks. It is imperative that…
Ok folks. Here are the games I am betting on in week 5. There are some big time match ups on the docket. West Virginia at Texas Tech (+3.5, 73): I must admit, I was wrong about the Red Raiders. They actually play complementary football. Their defense has been terrific and that will be the difference against Will Grier and the Mountaineers at home. Syracuse at Clemson (-25.5, 65.5): I…
Rivers is a must start at quarterback this week. It’s week four in the world of fantasy football. Here is who you should start and sit for this week. Start Em! 1. Phillip Rivers, QB, Chargers: Rivers has a juicy match up against a banged 49ers defense that has struggled thus far this season. They just simply can’t match with the Chargers offense which makes Rivers a must play. 2….
Texas is back baby! For now. Week four had some highs and lows. Here are some thoughts on the weekend that was in college football. 1. Texas is back! Ok maybe not but wins over USC and TCU in the last two weeks are still impressive. 2. I feel bad for Boston College fans. They actually believed that their beloved Eagles were a contender in the ACC and then they…
Game Rewind: The Patriots were thoroughly handled in all three phases of the game in a 26-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday. The game was never in doubt as the Lions outplayed the Patriots from start to finish. Here are five thoughts on the game. 1. The Patriots Got Handled Up Front: The Patriots we’re dominated on both sides of the ball as the Lions rushed for 159 yards….
The Patriots travel to Detroit this week to face former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and the Lions. The Patriots need to play well and bounce back after a tough 31-20 loss to the Jaguars last week. Here are five keys for the Patriots. 1. Get Pressure on Stafford: The Patriots will have a hard time rushing Matthew Stafford without Trey Flowers but they will have to find a way to…
There are a lot of quality plays this week. Here are my picks. Penn State at Illinois (+28, 59.5): Penn State has been an awesome play the last two weeks but that was at home. Things could be different on the road against an improved Illini team primed for an upset. I’m taking Illinois as a home dog. Washington State at USC (-3.5, 53): True freshmen quarterback J.T Daniels has struggled the past two weeks but…
Here are some thoughts on the week that was in college football. 1. Alabama is a machine. Period! They absolutely pounded a good Ole Miss team 62-7. 2. I can’t say I’m surprised that Wisconsin lost to BYU. You could see it coming when they fell behind. Wisconsin is not built to come from behind. 3. Florida State has a lot of problems right now on both sides of the…
