They say the Heisman is won in November, but Trinidad Chambliss has me ready to cast my vote in September. Every throw is “All Gold Everything,” every drive is “Don’t Believe Me Just Watch,” and when he scrambles? It’s like he’s shouting “Pop the Molly, I’m sweating” while defenders slip off him. He is on pace to replace Diego Pavia as my favorite player in college football.
Housekeeping: I went 9-1-1 last week on my picks, which pushes my season record to 32-16-1. Honestly, it was one of those weeks where everything clicked — dogs covered, favorites rolled, and the coin flips landed my way. Of course, I’d be lying if I didn’t add the caveat: regression is always lurking. You don’t go on a heater without knowing the cold streak eventually calls collect.
Charlotte +27.5
UNC +14.5
Illinois -9.5
WMU/Mass o47.5
Louisville -6.5
South Alabama/Troy o47.5
Miami/FSU o53.5
Mississippi State +14.5
The following plays are more sport than smart. They could All Gold Everything… or all gone everything. That’s the risk here.
Texas -6.5
Vanderbilt Team Total o21.5
UCLA Team Total u11.5
Good luck this week!
