As we enter the third week of the college season, and week 2 of the NFL, our late selection service is doing well.  Last night’s win on North Carolina over Rutgers leaves us 6-1 (85.7%) on the season.   But seven games isn’t a lot of action.

Why haven’t we been busier?  Three reasons.

1. The scourge of 1-AA.  In the first two weeks of the college football season, there have been 55 games between 1-A teams and 1-AA opponents.  Therefore, there has not been wagering availability on those games.  Had all the 1-A teams been playing each other, we would have had another  13 or 14 games a week that we could have had a chance to play.

2. Unimaginative Scheduling:  There have been a ton of games with high lines.  With some notable exceptions (Clemson vs. Alabama, USC vs. Ohio State) few teams have been willing to challenge themselves.  I’ve never been one to get too excited about games with lines in the 20’s and 30’s.  A lot of times who covers is based on the play of 2nd and 3rd stringers, which is tough to handicap for.

3. Easing into the NFL:  As we’ve written about frequently over the years, the NFL is tough to get a handle on early.  I only had a single play last Sunday, will have at least a couple this week in the NFL, and then will resume normal programming.

So we’ll be involved with more than 3 games a week over the course of the season.  Circumstances have dictated conservatism in college ball, and taking it easy early is our approach in the NFL.  Pretty soon we’ll be involved in around 8 or 9 games per weekend for the most part, usually about 4 or 5 on Saturday and 3 or 4 on Sunday.
