Schule’s NCAAF Weekly Power Rankings Review – Week 3
Have you ever noticed that all the major polls look basically the same? Whether it’s USA Today, ESPN or the Associated Press, you won’t see any dramatic differences in where they have teams ranked. When it comes to Power Rankings, professional handicapper Jesse Schule has proven to be ahead of the curve. Since the 2011 football season he’s been going against the grain, and more often than not he’s 2-3 steps ahead of the other guys. His weekly NCAAF Power Rankings are published at Covers.com on Mondays, and every Tuesday he will review the teams that he believes are overrated, underrated, or flying under the radar.
Most Overrated Team – BYU Cougars (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS)
The Cougars upset Nebraska with a Hail Mary pass in the dying seconds in Week 1, and then they did it again at home against Boise State on Saturday. These two victories have propelled BYU into the Top 25, and some are even calling the Cougars a dark horse playoff contender. It might be a little premature for BYU fans to start celebrating though, as they have a tough game coming up on the road at UCLA, and surely they can’t expect to execute a Hail Mary this time around. With a healthy Taysom Hill I might have believed this was a game they had a shot at winning, but I can’t see Tanner Mangum pulling another miracle out of his hat here in California.
Most Underrated Team – Oklahoma Sooners (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS)
Both Baylor and TCU are ranked in the Top 5, but when all is said and done, Oklahoma may still be the best team in the BIG12. The Sooners certainly have the more impressive non-conference resume after upsetting the Vols in a stunning come from behind win at Tennessee. The Sooners have found their man at quarterback, as Baker Mayfield threw for 388 yards and three TDs in his Oklahoma debut. He had a rough start on the road at Tennessee, but threw for 103 yards and three TDs on 11-of-14 passing in the fourth quarter and overtime.
Flying Under The Radar – Northwestern Wildcats (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS)
After a 2-0 start that included a shocking upset win over Stanford in their season opener, the Wildcats have moved into the Top 25. Their defense has not surrendered a touchdown in the first two weeks, and they are on the road at Duke this Saturday. They have won six of their last seven versus Duke, and they’ve won five straight at Durham. The Wildcats are a 3.5 point underdog on Saturday. Northwestern DE Ifeadi Odenigbo told the Chicago Tribune after the Wildcats’ shutout win Saturday he expects them to do the same to Duke. In a game that I expect to be a hard fought defensive battle, it’s awful tempting to take the points.

Prior to the 2017 NBA Finals, The Iceman released six series proposition bets. He cashed in ALL SIX, going a PERFECT 6-0 with NBA FINALS FUTURES! He followed up in 2018 by going 5-2 with Finals futures, and then last year he SHOCKED THE WORLD picking the RAPTORS to win outright. He then swept the 2020 Finals with LA -1.5, LA & GM1 and LeBron MVP!
Free picks
This is a free play on over.
The Mariners won two of three in a home series versus Houston, and they have been better than expected so far this season. They come into Game 1 of a home series versus the Dodgers sitting in first place in the AL West.
The Dodgers hand the ball to Dustin May, who is coming off a no decision versus Colorado. He's been solid in both his appearances this season, but wasn't able to pitch the full five innings to qualify for a win in his last start.
The Mariners hand the ball to Justus Sheffield, who hasn't been that impressive so far. He's allowed eight runs on 11 hits in 11 innings of work in two appearances.
The over is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings, and they have gone over in six of the last seven at Seattle.
GL,
Jesse Schule
YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
PICKS IN PROGRESS
This is an 8* play in under.
The White Sox have won two of three in this series at Fenway, and two of those three games went under. I expect another pitcher's duel in the series finale on Monday.
Lucas Giolito will toe the slab for the Sox, and he's coming off a flawless performance. He tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out eight in a no decision versus Cleveland his last time out.
The Red Sox hand the ball to Nathan Eovaldi, who is also having an outstanding season so far. Eovaldi (2-1, 2.08 ERA) allowed two runs on five hits in five innings in a 3-2 win at Minnesota his last time out.
The under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Boston.
GL,
Jesse Schule
SERVICE BIO
WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years.

Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored.
Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 5-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.2 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to two percent of a player's bankroll.
Signature Plays:
AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway.
The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire.
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price.
GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk.
HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available
