College football pick the favorite, opening week 2021

[Catfan73]

It’s almost that time again! Last season Catmanjack took top honors picking the favorites here. Can anyone top him this year? All you have to do is pick favorites. They only have to win by more than they’re favored by (denoted by a minus sign with a number). You can “wager” up to 50 bucks per week (sorry, just pretend money), on up to three different teams per week, in increments of 10. So 50 on one or 20 on two and 10 on a third, etc. I’ll keep a running tally throughout the season and we’ll see who comes out on top. Losing picks carry a 10% penalty, so a losing bet of 30 for example costs you 33. Ties, or “pushes” will be a voided pick.

Sounds easy right?
There are four games with lines on Sat. the 28th. Good luck!

UTEP -9 @ New Mexico St.
UConn @ Fresno St. -27.5
Nebraska -7.5 @ Illinois
Hawaii @ UCLA -17

I don’t really like any of these but I’m going to put something down just for fun. I’ve got two weeks to change my mind anyway lol.

Doc takes the honors for week “0” as 3/4 of the favorites covered and no one bet on Nebraska. There will be a lot more games to choose from this week, hopefully we get some players! This week’s results and leaderboard:

Doc +30
UKFlounder +20
Yeager +10
Catfan73 +10

I’ll get next week’s games up later this evening.
