If you are a gambling man and read my post on Friday and listened to the shark, you are now a rich man. Okay maybe not rich, but I didn't lose you any money. To recap the picks:
1. Georgia -8 vs. Boise State. As predicted Georgia destroyed and overpowered the smaller Boise State Broncos. Georgia took the game 48-13.
2. West Virginia +1.5 vs. Syracuse. In one of the sloppiest games that you will ever watch, West Virginia continually let Syracuse stick around by turning the ball over 5 times. Twice inside the Syracuse 20 yard line. The Mountaineers defense dominated the game outscoring Syracuse 9-7 and the offense was able to add two field goals. The game should have been a blow out going into halftime, but I guess we will take the win. West Virginia won 15-7.
3. North Carolina State +5.5 vs. Virginia Tech. If North Carolina State could get things going offensively they would be a dangerous team. Nonetheless, their defense did enough (as predicted) to cover the spread. Virginia Tech won 20-16.
So that brings the tally to 3-0 for the Shark. Tune in next week on Friday for Smooth Jimmy vs. the Shark for our NFL and NCAA picks of the week.
Nice! I went 4-2... these first few weeks always seem to be the easiest for me. Your Mountaineers were in my win column.
