Week 2 of Jeremy vs. the Public is final, and I took it 3-1. Faded the crowd and cashed again.
80% of the bets were on Kentucky in Knoxville. Tennessee won 34-6. The public liked Florida over my Fade, and Oklahoma won 23-7 in Gainesville. Utah beat BYU by eight laying 5.5. The public got me in Oxford: Georgia beat Ole Miss 42-7, and that one wasn’t close.

|---|---|---|---|
| The Fade: Oklahoma +6.5 at Florida | Florida, 56% | Oklahoma 23, Florida 7 | Jeremy |
| The Kentucky Hat Guarantee: Tennessee -6.5 vs. Kentucky | Kentucky, 80% | Tennessee 34, Kentucky 6 | Jeremy |
| Utah -5.5 vs. BYU | BYU, 61% | Utah 28, BYU 20 | Jeremy |
| Ole Miss +3.5 vs. Georgia | Georgia, 57% | Georgia 42, Ole Miss 7 | Public |
Same side, so they didn’t count: Ohio State -7.5 vs. Oregon (Oregon won 41-28) and Miami +7 at Notre Dame (Notre Dame 31-24, a push).
