Quick One This Week

If you’re reading this for the explanation of my processes, most likely because at some point in the future I refer you back to the first few months, I still have some more subjects to wrap up but ran short on time this week. So just the picks this time. The early games are always significant to me, if for no other reason than getting off to a good start, and unlike a week ago that gave me 2 Friday losses before I ever got going, Louisiana Tech came through on Thursday, so here I sit at 1-0 and excited for another day of Saturday football. The system is now 4-0 on Louisiana Tech games, which ties them with Michigan for the distinction for the system’s winningest selections of 2020, for or against. That’s nice, but Louisiana Tech has also had their share of cancelations, so the easily picked games definitely leave me wishing I had the lost ones back, just like about everything else in the calendar year. Last week, the system nearly overcame the rough start, but a meaningless backdoor TD by LSU curbed the streak of months without a losing record, finishing 5-7. Already 1-0, I’m hopeful for a much bigger outcome this time around. Here are the picks:

Thursday

Louisiana Tech -1 on the road vs North Texas

Saturday

Nebraska +1 on the road vs Purdue

TCU +1 at home vs Oklahoma State

Texas A&M -6.5 on the road vs Auburn

Notre Dame -33.5 at home vs Syracuse

Tulsa -12.5 on the road vs Navy

Buffalo -11.5 on the road vs Ohio

Kentucky -11.5 at home vs South Carolina

Clemson -22 on the road vs Virginia Tech

Arizona State -3 at home vs UCLA
