(DISCLAIMER: This game is for entertainment purposes only. No actual money is being wagered.)
First of all, protectyouru.net is not fixed yet. So we will have to continue using the email method for the time being. The site we’ve all being using for years has to be completely rebuilt. This really angers me, because I work hard to give you a good experience, and I pay for “expert” hosting support that has been anything but. You can view lines at http://protectyouru.net/pyu/make_picks.php . They will be updated per the usual schedule. The first lines for Week 2 are already up.
There were only nine games in Week 1 - five of which were against FCS opposition - but still plenty of action. Despite all the difficulties, 11 players placed 47 different fake bets, including 11 parlays. Yep, that’s started early. And three of them were hits.
speruche, who leaned heavily on three-bet parlays last year, hits one of four to take the Week 1 lead at $1094.57. A last-minute play backfired when he put 65.43 on Navy. ElliotMoore did not play a parlay but hit on the weekend’s biggest upset - South Alabama winning at Southern Mississippi on Thursday. ulhothot ($1020) got off to a positive start with a 2-way hit on BYU/Arkansas State, but gave most of it back on Southern Miss. Defdans was a small winner on five single bets.
BYU-Navy had a big line move during the week. The BYU line moved +2.5 to -1, and Navy from -2.5 to +1.5. E-dogg42 even tried for a middle, but a BYU blowout killed any chances of that happening. I suspect this season may pose more chances for big line moves, as COVID randomly decimates teams. We’ve already seen cases where Tennessee have didn’t enough players to scrimmage, and Texas State didn’t have any healthy tight ends for a game and had to use offensive linemen.

Week 2 has 22 games: UAB-Miami on Thursday, and the rest on Saturday. That means the final results will be posted Sunday morning, and the first Week 3 lines available about that time, as usual. The three major conferences begin play: #1 Clemson starts at Wake Forest; Oklahoma hosts FCS Missouri State; Duke is at Notre Dame; UTEP at Texas; Syracuse at North Carolina; and Louisiana at Iowa State.
There are two AAC games: USF hosts The Citadel, the first team ever to beat USF in football back in 1997. Tulane opens its season at the aforementioned South Alabama. Tulsa at Oklahoma State was moved back a week. The Iron Skillet game between SMU and TCU was postponed also.
