College Football Picks

You didn't actually think I was going to skip the picks column did you? It's my favorite part of the week! Off we go!

Michigan -3 over Wisconsin
Michigan should win this game easily, as Wisconsin is not that good. I hope the Wolverines are not looking past the Badgers to next week's big game against Ohio St. though...

Colorado 4.5 over Iowa St.
The Cyclowns suck.

Kentucky -4 over Vanderbilt
I realize Vandy has been playing well and is at home, but Kentucky had the week off and is looking to get back on the winning track.

Ohio St. -15.5 over Illinois
The Illini won't be able to hang with Ohio St. in Columbus.

Virginia Tech -7 over Florida St.
Blacksburg is a tough place to play, and even though the Seminoles have shown some sign of life lately, they haven't seen a defense like the Hokies in a while.

Kansas -6 over Oklahoma St.
(Sigh). I have been picking against Kansas for three weeks straight now, and getting burned each time. After last week's complete and utter dismantling of Nebraska, i am starting to believe a little. Of course, this will be the week they do actually fail to cover, or even lose...

Arizona St. -7 over UCLA
This scares me, because ASU has gotten off to slow starts in every game this season, and on the road that can hurt them. But after last week's loss, i think Dennis Erickson will have this team ready to play.

Updates

Sorry about the lack of updates lately. I was out of town over the weekend, then my computer was out of commission for few days. This weekend is NASCAR here in Phoenix, so i will be out at that (Not attending the races, just tailgating). So, for this week at leas, updates will be few and far between. Sorry in advance.

I should have something up later today...

Purple Jesus

This was AP, runnng away from the Charger defense all day...

296 yards rushing and 3 TD's. NFL single game rushing record. I am a man!

NFL Picks Review

Pretty good week again this week. 5-2 on the season, which puts the record at 26-17-3. Special thanks to both to Redskins and Patriots, who both won as i predicted, but managed to not cover. Thanks for nothing...

21-15-3 on the year. No time to dilly dally as i'm in iowa, so let's get on with the picks!

Green Bay +2 over Kansas City
Did you know KC is the only NFL team Brett Favre has not beaten (other than the Packers of course)? He ends that drought.

Detroit -3 over Denver
Have you seen Denver play lately? No, really, have you SEEN them?

Cleveland -2 over Seattle
This game is in Cleveland, and i'm sticking to my guns that the Seahawks stink. By the way, (Homer alert), Derek Anderson is going to look real good in a Vikings jersey next year...

Dallas -3.5 over Philadelphia
The Eagles have problems, not the least of which is there head coach's sons. Dallas wins big.

Washington -4 over New York Jets
Washington will want to prove something after last week's beating by the Patriots, and the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets are starting backup qb Kelly Clemens.

New Orleans -3.5 over Tampa Bay
The Saints have found their stride, and look to be especially good at home. The Jags aren't built to put up points, no matter who their qb is.

New England -6.5 over Indianapolis
This line started at 3.5. I got it in Vegas (where it's legal) at 4.5. It's now at 6.5. It could be at 10 i'd still take the Patriots. They are that good. Then again, gambling rule #1: Anytime there is a heavy public favorite, go the opposite way. Of course, this New England team throws out all conventional wisdom when it comes to gambling, so i will too...

College Football Picks Review

3-4 on the day, 26-24 on the year. Special thanks to Michigan for winning but not covering (by half a point). Thank you very much...

College Football Picks

23-20 on the season. Good week last week. I didn't write about the Sun Devils as promised, but i had to go out of town. Get over it. On with the picks!

South Florida -5.5 over Cincinnati
USF is on a two game skid, but i think at home they get it done against the Bearcats.

UCLA -1 over Arizona
Arizona had a nice win last week, but UCLA isn't bad enough to lose to the Wildcats, even on the road, are they? (Are they?).

Michigan -4.5 over Michigan St.
It's in East Lansing (which by the way is a hole of a city...), but Michigan is rolling along lately, and the Spartans, while they can put up points, won't hang with the big boys.

Oregon -8 over Arizona St.
Even though i hate to admit it, ASU has been good. And don't you think that given the circumstances (8-0 #4 ranked ASU against 7-1 #5 ranked Oregon) that the line is a little high? Even if it is in Autzen Stadium? Regardless, i think the Ducks win. They just score too easily.

Arkansas -5.5 over S. Carolina
For a Steve Spurrier coached team, the Gamecocks have shown a patent inability to score points. In Arkansas i think this hurts them.

USC -15 over Oregon St.
I think USC comes out this week and tries to prove a point that they're still a team to be reckoned with.

Boston College -7 over Florida St.
I still think BC will lose a game before the end of the year, but this week at home against a struggling Seminoles team is not the week.
