Finally, it's college football Week 1! Technically, the season started last weekend, which I guess was Week 0? They'd play games in July if they thought they could make money off the sick souls who'd watch, a group that definitely includes me.
Anyway, in the two FBS games last weekend I liked Colorado State giving 16 points against Hawaii and New Mexico as a four-point underdog vs. Wyoming. I took two ugly loses, but since it was Week 0, they don't count. My column, my rules.
The lesson here is that, while I will be making Weekend Predictions in this space, you should probably not trust them. They are for entertainment purposes only.
The Colorado State and New Mexico State games highlighted what may be one of my biggest blind spots: watching pretty much any football game that's on TV. Well there's that, plus my love for home dogs and advanced metrics. Those biases contributed to my 0-2 start which, again, doesn't count.
Luckily there are some interesting games this weekend.
