It wasn't the most productive of weeks for me last time out as the picks only went 2-4, but the opening weekend of the new season can be tough and it isn't the end of the World considering I had those moments in 2011, yet seemed to find a way to bounce back.
That will have to be the case this week, although I will hope for a little better fortune than backing a team like Oregon to cover the spread, only for them to pull their starters because they had racked up 50 points with 12 minutes left in the Second Quarter.
The most impressive team in the opening week of the season was Alabama from the games I watched as they crushed Michigan so easily that it was a little embarrassing for the Big Ten Conference. Struggles for Wisconsin and a defeat for Penn State hasn't helped that Conference either.
USC and LSU beat over-matched opponents fairly comfortably as expected of them, but it was the Crimson Tide that impressed the most and it is no surprise that they have moved into the Number 1 position in the nation.
The Week 2 Picks will come out on this thread whenever I have have locked down the games I like and they will come in staggered periods ahead of the full days play on Saturday.
