i'm in a pick 'em contest with 25 games each week. it's mostly FBS games with some local FCS, D2, D3, and NAIA games thrown in. last year i won the overall contest by looking at vegas odds and sagarin ratings for the teams. what other metrics would be good to use? i see F/+ ratings used in game previews, but i don't know what that is or how useful they are. i need to look into that.
my hoosiers are 2-0 so far with a big test against western kentucky today. the metrics say it should be a narrow WKU win, but i think we can pull it out. hopefully.

Sorry, TX. That's a horrible way to lose. I really only wish that on Stanfurd, honestly.
Next year should be a fun game.

Expect retaliation

Yes, tell me the line. That is assuming you agree with the following -
I sent extra 5 cigars to cover in case of a loss.
When I win, smoke all the cigars I sent you anyway and you owe me a 5er.

I am seeing Ducks -11.5.
Looks like it started at Pick'em. Did Utah get bad news this week?(sorry been out of it, busy at work)
Terms sound agreeable.

I think there was not a line early, not a pick'um. I think they were slow with the line, trying to find out if Wilson and Adams were going to play. Think the consensus is that both will play, though I doubt either coach will say that before they trot out opening series.
If you want to lock there, good. If you want to wait, that is fine. You tell me when you want to lock it and we're a go!

I am fine with 11.5
I wouldn't bet that in Vegas, I think Utah is going to give the Ducks all they can handle.
But, this is cigars and friendly. I'm in. Makes the game a little more exciting.

Sorry about the PM duplication and wrong zip.
I will post evidence of enjoyment. I think I still have a little of the Whiskey I won from jryoung last year. Time for a bourbon and a smoke for pregame.

^ I have seen conflicting reports/images on "smoke", if you are refering to Satan's daughter.
Edit** Just saw who I assume you were talking about. Dear Lord

So it's Saban's daughter?
Is he still working at Alabama? Everything looks to be rumor, can't find anything about him actually resigning or being fired.

Well that was surprising. I thought the Utes were a solid coin flip in this game, but never would have expected that. GO UTES!
Actually watching it now, was at the Utah vs Utah State hockey game.

Congratulations! It is a pistol whipping of the first order.
It's been a long time since the Ducks were dismantled like that. Utah looks good, i would just be waiting on Wilson to have a struggle against a team with a decent secondary.
Be advised also the Ducks have a serious case of entitlement syndrome and no adequate QB. It will be a struggle to make a Bowl game with that effort.
I will get your winnings out early next week. I enjoyed the Centurion during the game. In fact a whole lot more than the game.

I'm not sure Utah is as good as they looked last night. Kind of a perfect storm last night. Strange, but I'm kinda worried about Cal...

Utes 10 in the AP, 11 or 12(can't remember) in the coaches.

Happy to see Cal ranked again.
At the bar last night we were flipping between the three Pac 12 night games. All were basically blowouts. Didn't make much sense. I need to re-watch the Oregon/Utah game.
Unsure how well Cal will do @Utah in two weeks, but we'll have our #1RB back. The Texas and UW games have been RB by committee.

Utah's front 7 is their strength....and their secondary is pretty stinking good as well. Goff can sling it, would guess they'll mix it up with their 4 & then BP.
How's the Cal OL? Will be huge, because Utah's front 4 will blow you up on their own. LL is the second coming of his brother.

I like that Whitt has 2 weeks to game plan. Guess Wilson is a bit banged up, but the rest doesn't help much on that end, they're pretty healthy. Domo yes a little more work & that's good.

good lord, what a beat down in the Texas game. I have never seen such terrible officiating. 2 phantom holding calls that overturned huge plays. a fumble where three longhorns are on the ball, yet the OSU QB has his arm in the pile and he keeps the ball. Then the HOLDING ON A D-LINEMAN on a RUN, while he was 10 yards down the field getting tackled by TWO OSU guys.
Texas could have won the game. The freshmen made some dumb plays, but that's expected. But, you combine that with the terrible officiating, its too much to overcome.

texas isn't going to look good in the w/l, but it's clear the team is moving in the right direction. heard is legit - i wasn't so sure after all the practice reports.

Thankfully, Goff has a quick release and he's used to playing behind a horrible OL, so Utah's strong DL wont present any new challenges to the offense.
