Nado’s Notions: Week 5

Season record: 5-9-2 Last week: 0-3-1 (Maryland-Michigan over 65, North Carolina -2, Arkansas +2, Oklahoma -13) Just a brutal week. Maryland and Michigan fell short of the total with a score of 34-27 and things never got better. Drake Maye and North Carolina put up points, but their defense did very little to stop Notre…

Nado’s Notions: Week 4

Season record: 5-6-1 Last week: 2-3 (Florida State -2.5, Kansas State -14.5, Ole Miss -16.5, Penn State/Auburn under 47.5, UT-San Antonio +12.5) Florida State and Ole Miss got it done, but beyond that, it was a rough week.

Nado’s Notions: Week 3

Season record: 3-3-1 Last week: 2-1-1 (Pittsburgh -6.5, Texas Tech -3, Kentucky +5.5, USC -8) Pittsburgh squandered a 10-0 lead before falling to Tennessee in overtime, 34-27. However, things got better as Kentucky won outright and USC rolled to a rather comfortable win at Stanford. Sitting at 50%, this is a pivotal week for me.…

Nado’s Notions: Week 2

Season record: 1-2 Last week: 0-2 (Ole Miss/Troy over 58, Utah -2.5) Like LSU, I had a disastrous week 1. However, it is just one week, so let’s not hop off the wagon just yet. Allow me to redeem myself before you start calling me Clark-fade-o. On to week two… #24 Tennessee Volunteers (1-0) @…
