I got USC winning outright as the only bet I placed this weekend. 

Notre Dame is very overrated but so is USC.  Tough call this one is coming down to the last second 

Notre Dame can probably have the ball like 75% of this game

Elite offense vs. elite defense. In today's era, the smart bet is usually on offense.

I just think ND is REALLY overrated. We'll see with USC. They have a tough schedule to finish out the season.

I’m just sold on ND being super overrated. I don’t bet big money by any means. I started this season with 50 invested. I’m up to 400 so a 350 gain between CFB and NFL. I usually just drop 25 or 30 on a game im feeling and never against the spread. 30 on the Bears to beat the Commies got me a +90 gain. I didn’t feel conviction in any of the other CFB games this week outside of ND sucking. 
 

The other one I was interested in was I’d pick Oregon to beat Washington outright but there wasn’t much to win when I was looking at it.

The Deion train has been derailed. 

Blowing a 29-0 lead against a 1-4 team is pretty damn embarrassing. Their big win over TCU in week one? Well, TCU is 3-3 now. Colorado barely beat terrible teams in Arizona State and Colorado State.

Yeah, they're still a lot better than they were prior to Deion because at least they're competing now and actually winning some games but the sideshow is gonna lose a lot of steam down the stretch as they get their asses kicked by actually decent teams. The hype train works against you in these situations. The best asset a mediocre team has is the element of surprise. Catch a better team sleeping and overlooking you. That's not gonna happen with Colorado and Deion.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
