Having been forced by their stuffing up of the Windows Phone and dropping it unceremoniously, I went to an iPhone and then purchased an iPad. I know Apple aren’t perfect but the arrogance of MS making useless changes and rebooting my computer with updates when it suits them (sometimes even with pause updates in place) is just astounding. I’ve avoided Apple for years and been an MS person since Dos 2.0 and I’m just over them. I know that I’ll still need MS Office for some things but the more I can distance from MS the happier I’ll be.

This seems like it’ll either be a disaster or a surprise, and at 12/1, I’ll take a shot on the Bulldogs barking.Yes I’m saving up for a Macbook Pro. Louisiana Tech has a brand-new system and coaching staff but has enough talent - both remaining from the Holtz years and brought in by Cumbie - to be interesting. The most balanced team in the league is UAB, and the Blazers at +350 is worth a look.Įlsewhere, I like the in-state team. Value picksĬounting on UTSA to win a bunch of 38-35-type games for a whole season seems like a fool’s errand, at least at just 3/1 odds, so we’re going to look elsewhere. And old C-USA standby Middle Tennessee (+1000) seems like it’s always a factor. But only four starters return from a defense that severely struggled down the stretch last season.Ĭould Louisiana Tech (+1200) bounce back under Cumbie? There are enough transfers to have hope.

But both have question marks at quarterback and were inconsistent last season for a reason.įlorida Atlantic (+700) has a well-known coach in Willie Taggart and a returning quarterback in N’Kosi Perry. Same goes for UTEP (+2500) in the first half. If North Texas (+1400) can play like it did in the second half of last season, the Mean Green will be a title factor. The third name at the top is Western Kentucky (+350), which hopes West Virginia transfer Jarret Doege can help replace Bailey Zappe’s insane production (5,967 yards passing) at quarterback. The Blazers hope they can marry both sides of the ball this time around. Right behind is UAB (+300), which won three straight division titles from 2018-2020 on the strength of its defense before becoming more of an offensive team last year. UTSA (+240) is the favorite, a status that makes sense given that the Roadrunners return quarterback Will Harris (3,733 total yards) among 14 returning starters.
