Welcome back, oh great and wonderful football fans (including my wonderful daughter who is becoming quite the football aficionado). It’s Tuesday and that means more games on the docket to start the week. New Mexico St (2-5/121) is playing at FIU (2-6/129) as I’m typing with a 0-0 game with 5:35 to go in the first. At 7:30 (all times Eastern) we have a Sun Belt tilt when Texas St (4-3/89) is hosting Louisiana (6-1/31) followed by another Conference USA game with LA Tech (3-4/147) invading Sam Houston (6-2/59) at 8:00.
…..
I mentioned last week was an odd duck that didn’t have any major upsets (although Houston over Utah and Kennesaw St over Liberty were pretty big), but a lot of minor upsets and closer than should be games. The prediction model took a little hit with a straight up (just picking the winner) for the FBS of a sad 34-22 (.607), a full 9 games under my goal. The FCS winners were a little better at 37-19 (.661) for a combined 71-44 (.634). The year to date: FBS 211-122 (.634), FCS 198-105 (.653), combined 409-227 (.643). Against the spread, picking the winner plus or minus the Vegas point spread, was a pathetic 22-34 (.393). This was my first ever week below .400. For the year I’m only 136-131 (.509).
…..
Still no score in the NMST/FIU game which just started the 2nd quarter. LAU/TXST has kicked off with no score nearly 2 minutes into the game.
…..
There are 9 games pre-Saturday but the biggest one is Wednesday night at 7:00 when Jacksonville St (4-3/100) but 3-0 in Conference USA travels to Liberty (5-1/41) coming off a bad road loss to previously winless Kennesaw St (1-6/151). When the Gamecocks have the ball, they bring an OER (Offensive Efficiency Rating) of 126 (52nd in the country). That means they score 12.6 points for every 10.0 points their opponents normally allow. They will face a Liberty DER (Defensive Efficiency Rating) of 97 (156th) meaning they give up 10.0 points for every 9.7 their opponents normally score. It looks like JAX will be able to score. When the Flames are on offense, an OER of 104 (115th) will face a Jacksonville St DER of 82 (215th). Looks like the Flames will score too. The winner of this game has the inside track. Both teams still have to play W Kentucky (5-2/50), also 3-0 in conference in November. Vegas sees all this offense leading to a close game with Liberty-2.0. The GCR agrees LIB 60% and to cover.
…..
FIU is now leading 7-3 with 13:00 to go in the half. Texas St takes an early 3-0 lead with 11:01 in the 1st.
…..
The early game of choice and the Game of the Week is Ohio St (6-1/10) at Penn St (7-0/3). In recent years, Penn St has come into this game with a lot of promise and left with a lot of heartache. The reputation of losing big games could have an impact on the committee if they lose this game especially if they lose another. Ohio St has the not so familiar position of being behind (4th in the conference) and playing catch up. When the Buckeyes line up, an OER of 166 (4th) will face a PSU DER of 176 (12th). Strength on strength. When the Nittany Lions drive, they bring an OER of 124 (59th) against an Ohio St DER of 230 (2nd). Points will be hard to come by. Is this history repeating itself? Will the home crowd turn the tide? Vegas thinks Ohio St will win -3.5. The GCR sees this as PSU’s year winning 54% of the time and to cover. It should be a close game wire-to-wire and worth a watch. These are 2 elite teams fighting for a bye in the playoffs.
…..
No change in the scores.
…..
The 3:30 game to watch is the World’s Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville when Florida (4-3/49) takes on Georgia (6-1/16). Florida started slowly but has been on a bit of a tear. Georgia has moved to 2nd in the SEC following LSU’s loss to Texas A&M. This game has been dominated by Georgia in recent years, but this has been a weird year. Florida’s OER of 134 (37th) has been surprisingly decent and will face an elite Bulldog DER of 181 (8th). When GEO is driving, an OER of 146 (14th) faces a Gator DER of 133 (44th). Vegas sees GEO-16.5 and the GCR does see Georgia winning 58% of the time, but Florida will cover.
…..
FIU still up 7-3 with 56 seconds in the half, Louisiana has taken a 7-6 lead at the end of the opening quarter, and LA Tech/Sam Houston are scoreless with 7:48 in the 1st.
…..
Shifting to the ACC, there are 4 teams left that are undefeated in conference play. Clemson (6-1/17) hosts Louisville (5-3/29), Miami FL (8-0/6) hosts Duke (6-2/27), and SMU (7-1/14) hosts Pittsburgh (7-0/7) which will result in a maximum of 3 after the weekend. The SMU/PITT game kicks off at 8:00. When SMU, whose only loss was to BYU (8-0/4) has the ball, they bring an OER of 148 (13th) to face a Panther DER of 125 (57th). When PITT is driving, an OER of 139 (27th) will face a Mustang DER of 124 (58th). Vegas sees SMU-7.5 and the GCR sees a near toss up with PITT winning 52% of the time and to cover.
…..
No change in scores although LA Tech is in the red zone with 3:38 in the first.
…..
That’s it for today. Happy watching. I hope your team does well unless they are playing my team. Thank you for reading and sharing with others. The full list of games is in the table below. See you Sunday, G.
