2014 Lock Of The Week, Week 4

Michigan State -45.5 v. Eastern Michigan

Vegas is expecting the score of this game to be 49-3.  That's definitely on the table, and Eastern is the worst team in 1-A according to Sagarin at the moment, but this is just too many points to pass up.

Last Week:  UCLA -7 v. Texas (incorrect).  Jerry Neuheisel...knew as soon as he showed up that lock was busted.

Season:  1-3

2014 Lock Of The Week, Week 3

Not the best week if you were a fan of the sport.

A thin Saturday slate means there is a thin selection of appealing lines this week.

UCLA -7 v. Texas

Frankly, this is a narrow line because people are, justifiably, unimpressed with the Bruins.  I'll take that narrow line because Texas' offense is inert at the moment.  But I'm not brimming with confidence here.

Last week:  Michigan v. Notre Dame.  Total points 56, taking the over.   (Incorrect)

Season:  1-2

2014 Lock Of The Week, Week 2

Week 2 is fraught with peril, with loads of overreaction to one game that featured months of preparation.  Dangerous, tantalizing point spreads out there.

So I'm avoiding them entirely.

Michigan v. Notre Dame.  Total points 56, taking the over.

Game seems primed for a shootout.

Last week: 1-1.  Auburn yay, FSU nay.
