Things I Learned Thursday

[RyanParrill]

1) Toledo was (-8) and won by 36. I find this interesting because Toledo was picked by many to win the MAC and the line was vastly different than the result. This being the opposite case for Central Michigan who was a 15.5 favorite and won by 15.

2) If BTB writes an article on a specific coach/team, don't pick against that team, especially on the first night.

3) College kickers are still terrible. I don't have a count, but it's still tough to watch so many points left out there. This concerns me even more going forward since Michigan's kicking has been an issue in the recent past.

[Beyond the Bets]

Paul Johnson is going to pull off the perfect 12-0 ATS mark in 2011!

I wasn't able to see any of the highlights from that game but it seemed like the Ga Tech offense was rolling again. Love the Jackets as a sleeper in 2011!!
