2017 Lock Of The Week, Week 5

Notre Dame -21 v. Miami (OH)

I feel dirty, but I think Notre Dame is more than three touchdowns better than a MAC team.

Last week:  San Diego State -3 at Air Force (correct)

Season:  2-2

2017 Lock Of The Week, Week 4

15-4 last week.  That's good!

One of the "4" was my lock.  That's bad.

The frogurt is also cursed.

 

San Diego State -3 at Air Force

A road favorite is concerning, but unlike last week, Air Force will be facing a team that is familiar with it's offense.  Like last week, San Diego State will be facing a team that has trouble in the passing game.

Last week:  Kansas State -4 @ Vanderbilt (incorrect)

Season:  1-2

2017 Lock Of The Week, Week 3

Kansas State -4 @ Vanderbilt.

While realizing K-State is on the road, this just seems too low to me.  Vanderbilt has a good defense, but I don't think the offense can keep up.  Oddshark and Massy have this a 12- and 7-point margin, respectively.

Last week:  USC -6 v. Stanford (incorrect)

Season:  1-1

2017 Lock Of The Week, Week 2

Picking a lot of favorites.

USC -6 v. Stanford

This is always a tough week because there is a tendency to overreact to Week 1.  If USC had a hard time defending the run against Western, what are their chances against Stanford who had two weeks to prepare and were more impressive than expected against Rice.  Granted, Rice may be total trash.

Last week:  Michigan -5 v. Florida (correct)

Season:  1-0

2017 Lock Of The Week, Week 1

Michigan -5 v. Florida

More suspensions!  A starting freshman QB!  Being less talented than Michigan!  I see Michigan winning by a TD in a game as ugly as their uniforms.

Last season:  9-4-1
