ncaa recap

So I had this bright idea to start posting my picks on the net since I was having a pretty good year. Obviously, this was not a good idea, as I had, BY FAR, my worst week of the year.

Let's start w/ College Football --- I started the day off well with PSU and Oklahoma covering to start me off 2-0 --- well then things took a turn for the worse as I went 1-7 for the rest of the day ----------- 3-7 Against the Spread --------- wow thats bad ---- 7-3 straight up --- so at least I was respectable in picking the winners with my only losses being USC, FSU and Washington.

Florida is shooting themselves by dominating the 1st half of games and then sitting on the lead---i don't like it and it hurt them against Auburn.

Since I had such a bad week I don't want to elaborate too much but I was happy to see USC and FSU and Miami lose

Bone to pick:
Why is PSU not ranked...yeah I'm a homer here but they have 3 loses #1 Ohio State #2 Michigan and #10 Notre Dame ----- they will be ranked after they beat Wisconsin this week

Michigan v. Florida for BCS championship

Florida 27 Michigan 24

thats all for now folks

NFL Week 8

(editor's note: I realize that my week 8 college picks are really week 9 but i will go 8-2 on the weekend so it really does not matter)


WEEK 8 PICKS --- THIS IS TOO EASY

These picks are in order as they are listed on sportsinteraction.com

picks are for entertainment purposes only --- bet at your own risk

Texans (+3) @ Titans

What a game to start with. I might as well flip a coin for this one.

Lundy v. Henry --- titans

Carr v. Young --- texans

Johnson v. Bennett -- texans

Texans 21 Titans 17

Jaguars (+7) @ Eagles


Wow talk about a see-saw game... Jax lost to the Texans and Eagles lost to the Bucs.Although I believe that the bucs and texans are on their way up there is no excuse for either of these teams losing last week. Glad to see David Gerrard starting for the Jags ... but not gonna be enough

Eagles may be getting Stallworth back, who I think is a stud at receiver.

Jaguars 17 Eagles 27


Atlanta (+4) @ Bungals

Ocho Cinco ---haha --- I wish he was on my team (STEELERS) --- I hate most cocky players, but Chad Johnson, excuse me Ocho Cinco sure makes it fun.

by the way, what is all this talk about Mike Vick being a passer? Does he have an arm - of course its a cannon but he has no touch and not a good decision maker. 4 tds against the burgh -- well 1 was a freak catch by Jenkins and 2 were wide open passes to 6'10" alge crumpler....i'm not impressed

I hope I am wrong with this pick as the Steelers need all the help they can get.

Atlanta 20 Bengals 27


Bucs (+9) @ Giants


Giants looked good on Monday Night... but Bucs looked good on sunday or did they??? if it weren't for 2 defensive gift touchdown they would have been blown out....the Giants will do just that

Bucs 13 Giants 31


49ers (+16) @ Bears

Da Bears have an easy track to the playoffs this year and I love Grossman...but...Jerry Rice and the niners secure a special place in my football heart....

49ers 14 Bears 23


Cardinals (+4.5) @ Packers

Brett Favre is my fantasy QB so I love to root for the Pack this year... should he have retired yea probably and if I were the packers I would definately be playing Aaron Rodgers but the Pack is Back this week.

Cardinals 17 Packers 28


Seahawks (+6.5) @ Chiefs Band-Aid game of the week

apparently this game could come down to Senecca Wallace v. Brodie Croyle as Huard did not practice today and is doubtful for sunday. I am going to make my pick based on Huard playing.
Becuase Senecca Wallace was not that good in college, I'm thinking the Chiefs will continue to play well and win again this week. Lets Go LJ.

Seahawks 10 Chiefs 13



Baltimore (+2.5) @ Saints

Da Saints at HOME...you can't pick against them... too much Karma
And as a new Baltimore resident I have came to H-A-T-E the Ravens and by the way McNair is OLD.

Ravens 16 Saints 24 (Matt Stover Fantasy Player of the Week)


Rams (+9.5) @ Chargers

For whatever reason I like watching the Rams, great offensive terrible defensive makes for a good game to watch.

Tory Holt is the best WR in the game, sorry point23 and ocho cinco

Rams 23 Chargers 24


Steelers (-9) @ Oakland

DA RAIDAZ .. glad they are on my teams schedule

By the way, does anyone else think that Big Ben should take a week off and gather his thoughts. He is young no need to play this game. Batch is doing fine...rest up

Steelers 30 Raiders 10

J-E-T-S (+2) @ Browns

Another coin flip.... Both teams are better than what people think but Charlier Frye is too inconsistant for me to pick them. J-E-T-S

Jets 20 Browns 13

Colts (+3) @ Broncos GAME OF THE WEEK

What a game I never pick against the colts...never... until this week

But ....to be honest with you i'm not sure who I am going to take in my pick'em league but as of now I see the Broncos pulling off a big win at home in the cold miserable weather of Denver

Colts 20 Broncos 23 (PUSH)


Cowgirls (+5.5) @ Panthers

The only good thing about the Cowboys QB his ribs... and I think they will be well done after the Panthers defense gets a chance to play against the pee wee football line of the Cowgirls..

Boy I love picking against America's Favorite Team to Hate

Cowgirls 17 Panthers 28

Patriots (-2.5) @ Vikings

The vikings are playing well this year doing nothing special but enough to win...not going to happen on monday night.... the pats are just too tough and I have a feeling Brady to Jackson is going to be happening a lot more as the year goes on.

Pats 28 vikings 17

comments are welcome --- good luck to you

honestly though Wallace v. Croyle --- wow

NCAA week 9

WEEK 9

I picked out the ten games I will be most interested in this week and predicted the scores along w/ who will cover the spread.........I'm hoping to be at least 60% on my picks so we shall see

I hate picking road teams but after looking at my picks this week--it seems to be a trend

(the picks are in order from my best to my not so best)

Bet the House and Your Savings Account:

USC (-11) @ Oregon State

The best way to protect yourself from a beaver is to use a trojan

so why not take the Trojans over the Beavers.........they both have been playing close games as of late but Boise State and Cal combined to beat Org St 83 to 27 and I think USC is due to have a huge offensive game after their last few nail biters.

usc 42 oregon st 20

I hate to do this one.....

Tennessee (-3) @ South Carolina

My favorite college coach - Steve Spurrier (nic pic eh)

My least favorite - Philip Fullmer ....but....

I don't see the Gamecocks being able to handle smoky the dog....yeah they always have close games and I think this one will be close for awhile but Erik Ainge is playing too well this year and the Vols, who I believe is a top 5 team will be too much for the cocks

Tennesse 30 South Carolina 17

Hometown Special

Penn State (-3) @ Purdue

Penn State has pissed me off this year.

Plus at any moment anyone of their quarterbacks could fall to a concussion (Big Ben Syndrome)...anywya....their kicking game is absolutely terrible so anytime I take PSU I get nervous as hell but I'm taking them and I like them a lot this weekend....

Penn State 27 Purdue 16

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oklahoma (+2) @ Missouri

No way Mizzou is better than the Sooners-- or are they?

The Sooners are going to be without AP (no not the press)...Adrien Peterson... but the Sooner Defense will be too much for the Tigers... plus I refuse to believe that Missouri is that good

Oklahoma 27 Missouri 20


The Cocktail Party

Georgia (+14) v. Florida

GO GATORS!!!! --- obviously I am biased with this pick and believe that Florida got ripped off against Auburn... but I gotta ask why Urban 'myth" Meyer did not put Tim Tebow in for more play the kid is gonna win a heisman and you gotta love his demeanor

Tebow will have at least 2 TDS this game

You can't start a Freshman QB against Florida and win

Florida 30 Georgia 13


G Dumb's State

Texas (-10.5) @ Texas Tech

Tech has gotten their asses handed to them by Colorado and Missouri and looked pathetic against a not so great TCU (thanks fot LT) team....

Texas lost to Ohio State and should have lost to Nebraska

What does all of this mean? I don't know

Texas 38 Texas Tech 21

You might see me in the Stands

Florida State (-4.5) @ Maryland

Right now I have 2 tickets to this game but not sure if I am going to go yet... 1. there are a lot of good parties this saturday night down here and 2. I don't like either team, in fact I hate Florida State

So happy FSU is playing poorly this year...when Bowden leaves I will not be a sad man

MD has played better than I thought this year but they beat only one respectable team N.C. State.......FSU --- has a ton of talent and I think they might actually put together a decent game, but I hope that I am wrong

Florida State 30 Maryland 20

Why I picked this game? I guess I got a feeling

Minnesota (+27.5) @ Ohio State

Ohio State does not score a lot of points I think they have only gone over 35 points only once this year...

Minnesota is not that good but thery aren't that bad either... I like the points especially if it goes higher by saturday

Minnesota 20 Ohio State 38

The Thugs

Miami (+6) @ Georgia Tech

I really hate Miami ... how the hell can you get away with attempted murder during a game and not even get in trouble.... unbelievable

Also, why is the GT offensive cord. not fired yet???????? They threw to the best player in the ncaa once??????......unbelievable

miami convicts 20 Georgia Tech 21

Why am I picking this game b/c I am undefeated w/ Washington in NCAA

Arizona St (-1.5) @ Washington

My head tells me to go w/ AZ St. since UDUB lost their QB for the year but I need to pick at leat one home team

AZ St. 28 Washington 34
