If you aren’t familiar with the MEGALOCKS style, we believe in presenting quality and in-depth information in an entertaining format! The odds are that any word or phrase appearing in ALL CAPS is sarcasm. Any reference to a “lock” or similar term implying that there is certainty when predicting the outcomes of college football games is satire. The term previews are listed in alphabetical order within the division of each conference. The “power rating” is a representation of how we feel how the teams stack up on paper to begin the season. The ratings change on a weekly basis as games are 3 2018 SEASON PREVIEW played. It doesn’t necessarily represent who we feel will win their respective division as there are other factors at play, such as scheduling. The “ATS value rating” is our best guess of how successful a team will be vs the point spread. It’s a combination of likelihood and severity. How likely do we believe it to be that ‘Team X’ will have a winning record vs the point spread? What is the potential upside or downside? It’s meant to be a directional indicator and alert us to teams to put on an initial watch list. If you want to fnd out more about the website, please visit megalocks .co and check out the Video Tour or Learn More pages. There is also a FAQ list, About page and testimonial video that will give you a great idea of what to expect as a member. These previews were created over the summer and there may have been injuries, transfers or team-related news that is not refected in the document. One fnal thought. I am extremely appreciative of the support provided by family and friends! They have allowed me to pursue my dreams and make college football my full-time “job”. I would also like the thank all the great college football fans that I have interacted with over the last number of years. Many of you have become members of the website and I am truly grateful for your support! Here’s to an exciting and enjoyable 2018 season! 4 MEGALOCKS MEGALOCKS Predictions for the 2018 Season Here’s how we think things will shake out during the 2018 college football season. The ‘most likely winner’ differs from the ‘power rating’ in the season preview pages. Power rating refers to how teams stack up on paper to start the season. The ‘most likely winner’ is our prediction of who will rise to the top after schedules are considered. The ‘value play’ refers to a team that could take down the division as something other than the Vegas favorite. Alabama, Clemson and Georgia are our three highest-rated teams by a good margin. We had to include all of them in our predicted fnal four as we forecast no more than four combined losses. Alabama and Georgia both made it in 2017 and there’s a decent chance we see those teams again in 2018. Washington was our next choice to make the fnal four, but we can see everyone in the PAC 12 losing at least two games. The Big 12 is extremely competitive and it’s likely that the conference champion gets left of the mix.

  • Why New Quarterback Joe Flacco Gets the Broncos Back in the NFL Playoff Conversation by Mark Kiszla Denver Post June 5, 2019
    Kiszla: Why new quarterback Joe Flacco gets the Broncos back in the NFL playoff conversation By Mark Kiszla Denver Post June 5, 2019 Flacco has never thrown for more than 27 touchdowns in any of his 11 previous seasons in the NFL and has topped 4,000 passing yards only once in his career. New Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco stinks … if you believe all the power rankings of quarterbacks on the internet. Those ratings suggest he is Trent Dilfer 2.0, at best. But like most of what you read on Twitter, the instant analysis of Flacco is for the birds. When Flacco drops back to pass, he earns respect without uttering a word, by displaying a gift that’s rare, even at the NFL level. “He can throw the ball 80 yards, easy,” Broncos linebacker Von Miller said Tuesday, marveling at a mighty heave Flacco unleashed during practice. “He threw it 80 yards across the field. He’s looking like a Super Bowl MVP to me.” Game knows game. And unlike a year ago, when Broncos teammates mightily tried to prop up Case Keenum as a quarterback to be trusted, Flacco’s arm talent has done the talking during spring workouts at Dove Valley Headquarters. “That man has a cannon, I can tell you that,” Denver defensive lineman Shelby Harris said last week. “That man can really throw the ball.” Game knows game. For example: When I asked Flacco how he can tell Miller is a special player, he replied: “I’ve been around a lot of good guys on defense, for most of my career, as you guys know.

  • 2018 CONFERENCE USA (In Alpha Order) CUSA Is at Tier Two, Meaning There Are No Individual Team Sheets and No Game by Game Rush Data Or Rush Stat Plays Tabulated
    2018 CONFERENCE USA (in alpha order) CUSA is at tier two, meaning there are no individual team sheets and no game by game rush data or rush stat plays tabulated. CSUA EAST Charlotte Each year I “publish” my bottom five coach report. Brad Lambert made the list last year and proceeded to “lead” his team to one win! Blame the staff? Lambert cleaned house, firing both coordinators and firing and demoting other assistants. 18 starters return. Lose again and it will be clear where the next change will occur. AREAS TO WATCH: Charlotte loses just two WR’s, a center and one LB from the ’17 starting lineup. This will be a heavily veteran team. Their QB hit 47.7% last year. In 7-12 games the point O was 14 or less. I like the lead RB. The new offensive coordinator was productive at Youngstown St. Charlotte intercepted just two passes in ’17! With ten returning starters this will change. They have 25 defensive sacks in their last 24 games. The run D was below average and the pass D was over 69%. They’ll improve, but to what extent. Glenn Spencer was decent as the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma St. This seems like a splash hire. All three kickers return but they combined to go 4-13 last year. ‘18 PREVIEW: Last year in this spot I said to post check their stats vs. Eastern Michigan. The stats were not pretty. Let’s hope they improve with this depth opening up vs. 4-7 Fordham. Games 2-4 are hosting App.
