So it turns out that I am not “Playoff Toby”, but rather “Layoff Toby”, as I am likely to be laid off following the disastrous week I just had. Managed a perfect 0-4 last week. It’s almost impressive how bad my predictions were.
If you’ve never seen a North Texas game, prepare yourself for a true rock fight. The Mean Green love to walk the ball up and force teams into a quagmire. SMU’s not as slow-paced, but the Mustangs play excellent defense.
San Francisco’s good enough to provide a tough out, but not good enough where a loss wouldn’t damage the profile. These are the games Gonzaga didn’t have to worry about for decades, but not this year.
St. John’s handled Villanova with ease in the first meeting, in large part because of their 3-point defense. If the Red Storm can throw the Wildcats off again, they’ve got a good chance to come out with a win.
Alabama’s going to have to win one of these games eventually. While the Tide have played one of the toughest schedules in the nation, they also haven’t been collecting wins. Auburn’s got to prove itself as well, despite its gaudy record.
Tee times for this event start on Wednesday morning as the Tour tries to steer clear of the NFL. Like last week, there will be multiple courses to evaluate. Everyone in the field will play both the North and South Course during the first two rounds. After a 36-hole cut, the players will play the final two rounds on the South Course.
Lamar Jackson has shed his albatross. But you might not have guessed it had you stopped watching at halftime.
Even though Wake’s tied for second in the ACC, not many people are taking them seriously to this point. A strong showing at North Carolina would change a lot of opinions.
I suffered a brutal NFL Divisional round shellacking over the weekend. My picks ATS went 0-3 and the only win I was able to find on the board was the UNDER in the Packers/Niners game. Thank god for the rain. But the NFL Conference Championships are just a week away and I’m coming back to the buffet of losses for another chance at redemption.
