The College Football Blog: 2011 Week 6 Betting Lines

Last Week’s Record

Biggest 10 Games (Straight Up: 4-6; Vs. Spread: 4-6)

Overall (Straight Up: 35-18; Vs. Spread: 26-26-1; Moneyline Upsets: 2-1)

Season Record

Biggest 10 Games (Straight Up: 28-22; Vs. Spread: 19-30-1)

Overall (Straight Up: 172-61; Vs. Spread: 108-115-3; Moneyline Upsets: 8-11)

Week 5 Review: This is getting bad. At many other times I’d be okay with going .500 ATS, but not when I went 16 games under .500 ATS the week before. And I’m way too far under .500 ATS in the biggest 10 games. The worst part of my record last week was the losing record straight up in the biggest 10 games.

Week 6 Preview: Well, hopefully I can make up some ground this week because the slate is weak. In fact, this was the hardest time I’ve had yet this season picking the 10 biggest games. One positive: for the first time this year, there are no games against FCS opponents this week. Once again I have to apologize for not having comments on the biggest 10 games this week. Next week will be back to normal (or I guess I should say, back to what was supposed to be normal).
