Admittedly we screwed up over at the G911 Sports Hub in Week 1 of college football.
Instead of selecting Notre Dame to cover against Texas A&M, we accidentally picked the Irish to cover in the first half.
Thankfully our feeble attempts to try to cancel this pick did not work. The Irish and Aggies were tied at the conclusion of the first half with Notre Dame a dog. They would go on to win that game outright as the underdog, helping us to go 2-0.
Thursday Night Football came around next and we had the Kansas City Chiefs to cover a -3 point spread.
Jackson threw for 273 yards and a touchdown and ran for 122 yards, gamely rallying Baltimore from a late 10-point deficit against the two-time and defending NFL champions. And it looked for a moment as if Jackson had at least forced overtime when he hit Isaiah Likely in the back of the end zone with no time left in raucous Arrowhead Stadium to complete the comeback.
The final play immediately went to a video review, though, and the evidence was clear: The tight end’s toe landed on the endline, putting him out of bounds. The pass was incomplete. The game was over. And the disappointment quickly set in.
That out-of-bounds toe went in our favor. We won't lie, it usually does not happen that way.
Georgia Tech we felt was overrated on Saturday and our model indicated that Syracuse would cover. They came into this game as a home underdog. Despite a near come-from-behind win by the Yellow Jackets, Syracuse managed to prevail.
Nebraska's fortunes may be changing as they enjoyed a statement win over Colorado Saturday afternoon.
We had the Huskers at -6.5.
Sunday's only pick as this went to publication: The Texans at -3 in Indianapolis.
