Yes, America, your long national nightmare is over.

(Don’t touch that.)

No, I’m referring to the brutal curse of my No. 1 picks in this piece that kept losing in horrific fashion. It got so bad that I BEGGED you to fade me last week as I went with something so absurd that it could never happen.

Washington State 49, Utah State 28, the over on the 69.5 came through, and the planet rejoiced.

So am I going to mock the gods AGAIN, especially since my No. 1 pick this week was the over on the 72.5 of North Texas vs UTSA that came in at 75?

Oh why not?

No, you never, ever, ever, ever, EVER go over on a point total of 70 or more. Too many things could happen the wrong way, like one team forgetting to score, like San Diego State did last week when it rolled up and down the field on New Mexico but lost 21-16.

And yeah, be freaked by the 17-6 Colorado State win over the Lobos a few weeks ago.

Washington State will score at least 45 points, and it’ll give up at least 20. That gets us close to the pin. After that, it’s all up the will of a power greater than we can possible understand to get us a second straight miracle.
