Standings update: no movement at the top, as only four pickers got last week's prediction correct, each getting their first points of the season.

It always gives me great pleasure when the Irish blow a team out and only a few of us predicted it correctly (and I am not among them). Kudos to @rikkitikki08, @johnsben, @NDLS_USMC & @JJRyan for keeping the faith in our boys and nailing the ND +28 prediction last week. (Note: I did get your points added but the sheet is sorted in ABC order).

Finally, just a housekeeping note from last week: I am reinstalling the longstanding rule that there will be no vote changes; all votes are final. I am not accusing a single person of doing so, but I don't want people to see which way the wind is blowing and to change their pick at the last minute. (i.e. majority are picking a 10 pt margin, so I'll change mine to ND 35+ because only 5 people picked it).

ND 42
Boise 20

Defense continues to improve and Carr and Love firmly enter the heisman race

In the true spirit of friendship and looking out for my Irish brothers, I picked ND 21-27. Which means, if you want a chance to hit it, you'll stay away from that option.

three score line always gives me pause - garbage time can sneak up on you. As much as I want to see us score 50+ I can see this going 38-20 or something stupid that was 38-10 at end of Q3 and never close. 50-13 statements need to be made and massive offense to fuel hype on Love/Price/Carr plus put fear in hearts of future opponents. Boise isn't all that great this year but the name gets respect.

UGA cost me a 9 way +12,000 parlay last week so I would love to take Vandy as my upset but its on the road so take +10.5 over ML.

I'm favoring way too many teams on the road but I like the matchups and it's making the lines more attractive.

ISU +2.5 @ Cinci - take ML all day
Texas -5.5 @ Florida - points or ML all day, look at -9.5 or more too - I think Texas could curb stomp them
Illinois -9.5 @ Purdue - I'll probably look at -13.5 blow out and use ML to juice parlays - another curb stomp potential
Miami ML - don't like the -4.5 line so much on the road with FG loving coach
Oregon ML next week hosting Indiana

I like us to cover 20.5 but it is not a high conviction pick.

Hard to play these but:
Clemson sucks but UNC sucks worse - can UNC keep it close at home on a noon kick?
Syracuse @ SMU - Is Syracuse offense doomed without Angeli? 3 points against Duke is not encouraging but SMU defense gets loose - especially with a lead. Either SMU -17.5 and under 55.5 or Cuse +17.5 and over 55.5. Potential to blow the doors off that 55.5. I'll probably throw something like alternate over +65.5 line at +209 just because I love watching their 4Q shenanigans when SMU games turn into track meets.
Wake Forest @ VT - too many road teams I like or else I would be on WF ML coming off that WTF loss to GT - dial it back to +7.5 from +6.5 and I like WF for parlay material.

Stupid 7 way at +3000-ish parlay - ISU ML, ILL ML, Texas ML, Miami ML, WF +7.5, Over 53.5 SMU, ND -16.5

35-16 Irish. Red zone defense comes through. Offense plays well but slows down as we get conservative in the second half.

Just came across this. It has like 3 or 4 curse words in it. Nothing to bad. But it's a pretty awesome video.

I don’t think that Boise’s offense is as good as Arkansas but their defense is better than Arkansas. I don’t think Greathouse makes a difference either way. The next guy in will block just as well.

Our offense right now is cruising and should continue to get better.

45-20

I don’t see it with Texas. Manning has been terrible and Florida has a good defense. Not as good as Texas but way better than the three cupcakes they just played.

I think Boise tries to run the ball with not great success. But, I also think ND’s offense has a step back. 34-21 Irish

Is this the best rushing team ND has faced thus far? I know it was against bad opponents, but their RBs avg 7-8 ypc.

49-16 good guys. The headline coming out of this weekend is:

"Irish fail to score 50, Denbrock on the hot seat"
