Recap:
Winner. I really needed that. After the fucking week I had, I needed that. I thought I was going to get a garbage time shafting but luckily I didn’t. He only had two receptions and the Jets shut him down just as I predicted. It seemed they were trying to get Hooper involved deep because they didn’t look at Henry down the field really the entire game. The only thing that was scary was garbage time and that Henry long catch that got taken back because of a holding. That one wasn’t really a sweat too because the flag was thrown so clearly for holding I wasn’t even worried about that catch. Other than that it was easy. I really needed that game to get my brain right for the weekend. I am starting to understand that whatever I thought was going to happen at the start of the season for the most part go with it. Throw out the first two weeks with how they went with the underdogs dominated. That game went exactly as I would have predicted at the start of the season but I didn’t think that would happen after the first two weeks. The Patriots/Bengals game may be the biggest fluke of the season. The Jets looked so bad against the 49ers and I also thought they would be decent this season and I think that is still the case. I need to go with what I know. Some of the shit didn’t go my way this week but this is my fucking weekend. I am locked in for a winning and I mean winning weekend.
Lock: Illinois/Nebraska U43.5 1u to win 0.9u
Groundbreaking Analysis:
I was tempted to make this another two unit play. I love this pick. I love the two teams. I love their offenses. I love their defenses. I love it all. We are getting two ground and pound teams. I do like Raiola but I also think that he still has a lot to learn and getting your first BIG10 game on a short week will cause some problems. I also think that this Nebraska team is not built to score a lot. As we saw in the Colorado game they couldn’t score in the second half and also had a pic six for some of those points. They haven’t played a real defense yet and have been scoring against non power five teams. I think Illinois will cause them problems. Illinois has a solid defense and Nebraska also has a very good defense. I know I said Nebraska hasn’t played anyone but to still limit the Colorado team to virtually no points is still a very good sign. This is going to go under. We are going to have a classic Friday night BIG10 game that will be punt after punt after punt. I love this under. I know it is low for a college game but I still like it. The bets are on the over but the money is split 50/50 which is perfect. Under. Under. Under. For Underia 🚇🏴
