After a torrid start against the spread, the Week 1 F/+ picks kind of limped home on Saturday and finished just 20-17. That's 54%, which is pretty damn good over the course of a whole season, but ... starting out 10-3 or so certainly got my hopes up.

That said, the teams that were supposed to win, did. You're expected to get most of the head-to-head picks right in the early weeks, with so many FCS games in the mix, but still, going 74-11 (87%) is nice. And as we see here, a majority of those 11 losses game in virtual tossups.

Win Prob. Range Record Win% 50-59% 4-7 36.4% 60-69% 12-0 100.0% 70-79% 17-3 85.0% 80-89% 25-1 96.2% 90-99% 16-0 100.0%

So far, so good. On to this week's slate.

I'll say this: I know college football basically forfeited the Thursday night slate because of the NFL, but ... this game could be awfully entertaining. Close and potentially high scoring? Sounds like the perfect Thursday night game to me!

Friday

I'm curious about FAU -- the Owls might actually be decent enough to hang around against Miami for a while. Meanwhile ... well ... if you like defense, Utah-USU is for you...
