It’s hard to argue much with the start to the season I, personally, have had. I’m 17-13 overall, but just 1-2 on the Toretto. I feel confident that the Toretto will be 2-2 after this week.
The SEC Insider (I don’t know, do you?) is letting us down. 4-5 overall and 0-2 on the Mouthwatering Pick. I’m not going to sound the alarm quite yet, but this individual needs to show us some sort of progress. It’s just been downhill since the start of last season. Fortunately, he/she/they/ze and I are aligned on one game and I am tailing the Insider’s two other picks. This is the week when things get right.
Insider Dash’s Prop-aganda Parlay of the Week is 0-2, but these are not all going to hit, folks. Dash hit 2 of the 4 legs last weekend. He’s getting there. It’s only a matter of time. I’m going to win this parlay when it hits. Will you?
And the Prem League Advisor……….I thought it would be fun to add this component to the blog. Is losing, this much, fun? Not really. 0-3 on the season and under .500 overall. You do not need to take any of these picks. At this point, I wanna see the Advisor lose em all. That would be a hell of an accomplishment. But the Advisor is giving us two picks this week to get back on track. Make or break.
Where Griff was WRONG in Week 2:
Utah State at Washington -26.5 – “I think Washington will look like a top 25 team in this game. Again, last week was a rivalry game and WSU had all offseason to plan for that game. Washington still won by 14. Utah State lost to Idaho State last week. I don’t know what that really means for us, but I don’t think it’s good for Utah State. This will be an easy cover.“ – Washington won by 2 (16-14).
USF at Army -3.5 – “Respect the troops.” – USF won 28-24.
Where Griff was RIGHT in Week 2:
Old Dominion at Virginia Tech -19.5 – “James Franklin can’t win the big one, but he’s still a good coach who wins games he’s supposed to win. VT won 73-3 last week against a shitty FCS team. I don’t know what kind of team ODU is, but they’re not ‘the big one.'” – VT won by 23.
Ohio State +1.5 at Texas – “I’m a B1G guy.” – Never a doubt.
Last week: 7-6 / 2026 record: 17-13 / Since 2022: 387-367-10
Dominic Toretto’s “Take it or leave it” Pick of the Week (2026: 1-2 / Overall: 24-25-1): Florida State at Alabama -19.5 – FSU just fired its Athletic Director. They’re 1-1 this year. Norvell is the most fired coach in college football, even more-so than Dave Arranda. It’s only a matter of time. Bama has looked awesome this season. Set it and forget it.
Georgia -24.5 at Arkansas – Tailing the Insider.
North Carolina +3.5 at Clemson – Clemson is starting a true freshman QB against Bill Belichick.
Arizona State -6 at Kansas – The case for ASU: they were down 24-20 in the 4th quarter at Texas A&M before losing 48-20. It was competitive for a long time in a non-rivalry game. They won 70-7 against Bum Fuck University in Week 1. This team is good, and they got a good coach, they just got steamrolled in the 4th Q last week. The case against Kansas: they left it all on the field in a huge rivalry game against Mizzou and lost 38-21. Their QB was making some outrageous decisions and finished 13/30 for 168, 2 TD and 2 INT. He also had 20 rushes for 23 yards. I think Kansas is cooked and this guy is gonna blow it for the Jayhawks in this game.
Tulane at Kansas State -20.5 – These guys may be onto something. Insider Dash has always been an Avery Johnson ryder. The guy may be coming into his own this year. And Colin Klein may be the real deal as a head coach.
Kentucky at Texas A&M -16.5 – Kentucky is not playing at Kroger Field this week. I think the Midnight Yell is gonna put their minds in a pretzel.
SMU at Louisville ML (-120) – Tailing the Insider.
Western Kentucky at Indiana -44.5 – Georgia and IU in back-to-back weeks? After getting slaughtered Mortal Kombat-style 70-20 last week, you really think the Hilltoppers are up for the challenge again? Gimme a break.
Mississippi State +4 at South Carolina – Kamario Taylor for MSU has been awesome in two (2) games: 7 pass TD and 0 INT, 145 yards rushing and a TD. MSU went to Minnesota last week and won 38-13. I know Lanoris Sellers is the talk of the town, but I think the nation will know Kamario Taylor’s name by the end of this game.
LSU -3 at Ole Miss – Just a gut feeling pick. (Editor’s note: I made this pick Wednesday morning around 1 a.m. ET. I’m writing this sentence Thursday morning at 1 a.m. ET, after Levitt appeared on the Injury Report. I still love the pick.)
Michigan State at Notre Dame -29.5 – I picked MSU to go over 4.5 regular season wins. They’re 2-0. I did not expect them to beat Notre Dame. I still don’t. And this will be a game to forget for the Spartans.
BYU -17.5 at Colorado State – Here’s the lowdown on CSU: they’re 2-0 with wins over Wyoming and an FCS team that scored 24 points last week and racked up 442 yards of offense. Any FBS team that gives up that many yards and points to an FCS team cannot be taken seriously. I think BYU could win by 30.
Virginia Tech -3 at Maryland – I’m just gonna keep riding Franklin and the Hokies until further notice.
Purdue at UCLA -14 – UCLA has looked really good with a 2-0 record SU and ATS. They get to stay home while Purdue makes the three timezone jump. Purdue is 1-1 SU and ATS. They don’t have the magic in them to pull this off. Wake up Sunday morning with a win in this one.
SEC Insider Picks of the Weekend
Last week: 1-2 / 2026 record: 4-5 / Since 2022: 81-87-3
*the following is verbatim*
Why not give Texas ML last week you dang fool? That and Michigan were the easiest bets of the week and you whiffed.
The only way out is through.
Mouth Watering Pick of the Week (2026: 0-2 / Overall: 20-23-1): Kentucky at Texas A&M -16.5 – This is going to go south quick for UK. They realistically lost by 35 at home to Bama without the defensive lineman pick 6. Now you head to Kyle Field? Good luck[.]
Georgia -24.5 at Arkansas – Arkansas is the worst team in the conference. Georgia has been dominating the nobodies. Smart welcomes Silverfield to the SEC with an ass whipping.
SMU at Louisville ML (-120) – I came away impressed by what they did against Ole Miss. SMU beating FSU is not impressive. Give me the Cards at home. L1C4[.]
Insider Dash’s Prop-aganda Parlay of the Week
2026 record: 0-2/$10 bettor = -$20
*the following is verbatim*
Avery Johnson (Kansas State) – 300+ passing+rushing yards / Lincoln Kienholz (Louisville) – 300+ passing+rushing yards / Keelon Russell (Alabama) – 300+ passing+rushing yards / Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss) – 300+ passing+rushing yards = +1905 on DK ($10 to win $190)
Let’s get one here folks. I wouldn’t be shocked if they get this just through the air. You add the run game and we will hit this easy.

Prem League Advisor Pick of the Weekend
2026 record: 0-3 / Since 2023: 13-16
*the following is verbatim*
Double chance, double picks, double jeopardy.
Brighton Double Chance +110 AND Aston Villa Double Chance -135
This is a get it right or get out week. Hand up 0-3 start is not good. We were killed by a red card last week but I stand by the pick. I have a secret sub-advisor this week that helped me with these picks so I feel good. Brighton at home can pull out at least a draw, public loves Arsenal and I like this spot. Villa cannot be this bad, starting 0-3-1 means they are undervalued. Wouldn’t be surprised if Villa wins outright.
