Week 3 Point Spreads

Week 2 Accuracy: 4 out of 12. 33% I hate humans.
Season Accuracy: 12 out of 24. 50%. I feel like Oklahoma vs BYU

Even with one team missing a coach (SoCal) and another team avoiding coaching (North Carolina), it would still only have been 7 out of 12. Colossus is very annoyed with humanity unpredictability. The geeks are considering the introduction of a "coaching factor" that will modify the point spreads based on coaching ability.

Upset of the Week

Denver (+2) 45, Real Charleston 24
The Galacticos could not have had worse luck. How could any team, even Donelson, survive this: 2 interceptions returned for touchdowns, 1 kick off return for a touchdown and 1 punt return for a touchdown? But RCC kept themselves in it for most of the game, absorbing the blows, tieing it up at the end of the 3rd quarter, 24-24, only to watch the Dynamite offense come alive for a moment with RB Adrian Peterson (11 runs for 72 yds, 1 TD, 6.5 avg) scampering for a 34 yard TD at the start of the 4th quarter. Then, on the following drive, Kurt Warner (28 of 44, 253 yds, 2 ints, 2 tds, 75 rating) tried to run it after seeing the short zone coverage blanket the short pass he was attempting and fumbled it away on his own 30. RB Warrick Dunn (7 rushes, 27 yds, 1 td, 4.0 avg) did the honors with a 12 yard run and a 1 yard sweep for the TD. Key play with a pass interference penalty moving the Dynamite from the 18 to the 1. RCC had 3 more chances to score before the end of the game: 2 ending on failed 4th down attempts and the third on an interception.

+1 San Diego (2-0) at Great Lakes (1-1)
This is a great matchup. P. Manning vs GLM secondary. SD's lack of a good #2 receiver will be the difference.
+3 Denver (1-1) vs San Pedro(C) (0-2)
No more fluky wins for the Dynamite. The Corsairs win going away...
+6 NW Missouri (1-1) vs Transylvania (0-2)
The Evil Dead should get their first win but the Rednecks have some playas.
+6 Knoxville (1-1) at SoCal (1-1)
Knoxville. Email me. I'll sub for unowned SoCal just to help Colossus out.
+6 Nashville (1-1) vs Dallas (2-0)
Usually a good game regardless of point spread. Gladiators want it, they want it bad.
+8 Wausau (0-2) at San Pedro(B) (0-2)
The final order of this division will not resemble the current order.
+8 Dayton (1-1) vs Montcalm (1-1)
Panthers let Tillman take the division lead. They can't slip up.
+9 North Carolina (0-2) at Tillman (2-0)
Rangers have an easy game against a bad team with a coach MIA.
+11 Death Valley (0-2) vs Fresno (1-1)
Seems a bit harsh. Surely the Demons can keep it closer?
+11 Steeltown (2-0) at Real Charleston (1-1)
The heir to the Riggins division throne spanks the pretender.
+14 Mt. Pilot (1-1) at New England (2-0)
The Generals benefit from a soft division and soft schedule. Tillman next week though.
+15 Hermitage (1-1) vs Donelson (2-0)
Yaaaaaaaawn. Another week, another win for the Warriors. I'm tellin' ya - they will not lose a game this season. Maybe some competition in the playoffs? A marshmallow schedule and a strong team. Every time I look at these spreads - it's unbelievable. Well, here...look at 'em:

01: -11 Donelson vs Denver
02: -20 Donelson at Death Valley
03: -15 Donelson at Hermitage
04: -10 Donelson vs Real Charleston
05: -14 Donelson vs San Pedro(C)
06: -20 Donelson vs Dallas
07: -16 Donelson at San Diego
08: -28 Donelson vs Mt. Pilot
09: -14 Donelson at Transylvania
10: -23 Donelson vs Wausau
11: -21 Donelson at SoCal
12: -13 Donelson vs Hermitage
13: -16 Donelson vs North Carolina
14: -12 Donelson at Denver
15: -15 Donelson at Dayton
16: -22 Donelson at San Pedro(C)
