A few thoughts:
- All three of the losses (Miss St/UGA under, Vols 1H, Boise/Hawaii over) were bad picks and never had a chance.
- Very surprised by how flat UT was in the 1H (and all game, frankly) so will have to consider that I've overestimated them and probably still biased from the winnings they brought me early in the season. And the Gators absolutely have not quit on Napier.
- Mississippi St/UGA had almost 1,000 yards of offense and the teams combined to go 5-5 on 4th down. I wasn't able to watch much of the game but safe to say I was just way off.
- For Boise/Hawaii, it takes two to make an over and Hawaii never had the offense or the interest to keep up (only 127 plays total between the teams) and Hawaii held the ball for almost half the game to put up 279 total yards and only 15 rushing yards. Safe to say that their focus was on preventing Jeanty from putting up video game numbers against them even if it meant never really competing to win the game.
- Army and UCLA 1H were easy winners (very pleased I went with UCLA 1H rather than game, as those who took +4 full game got a push), and GT TT over and Clemson/Wake over were relatively comfortable winners.
- K State/Colorado over needed 3 TDs in the final 6:44 and NU/Maryland over was pretty fortunate in that it took a Terps INT returned to deep in their territory to set the Mildcats up for the TD that got the over home. So, pretty fortunate with both of those. Phew.
