Here are the finalized picks for this week, starting with tonight's big non-conference match-up:
Miami 26, Pittsburgh 20 - Outside of Dion Lewis, Pitt doesn't seem to have much going for them. Don't look for Jacory Harris to repeat his 4-pick performance from Ohio State, do look for him to lead the 'Canes as they pull away from the Panthers in the second half.
Alabama 34, Arkansas 24 -I've backed up off it, put down my defeat-infused Ryan Mallet Kool-aid down and thought this one a out a bit more.
Boston College 24, VA Tech 21 - Switcheroo. In Chestnut Hill on the heels of some shitty performances, I see the Hokies coming up short again.
Stanford 31, Notre Dame 20 - Kelley's lost two close ones, but he'll get better...just not against The Cardinal.
Texas 41, UCLA 17 - Not quite the "Route 66" beating that kicked Mack Brown's era off in earnest, but still a solid beating.
Florida 34, Kentucky 21 - The Gators offense slowly gets better and a closer than expected game gets broken open in the 3rd quarter.
Oklahoma 37, Cincinnati 10 - Boomer Sooner.
Georgia 22, Mississippi State 20 - Ugh.
Auburn 23, South Carolina 16 - When Lattimore fails to gain 6 ypc on the first drive, Spurrier goes to the air and Garcia throws 2 picks. OBC-style hi-jinks ensue, with 2-QB's not quite being enough to overcome the steady progress of Cam Newton backed by an underrated D.
Oregon State 30, Boise State 23 - UPSET ALERT. The pressure's building in Boise and if they let the Beavers hang around, the Broncos will have a hard time closing this one out.
LSU 23, West Virgina 19- Ugly, ugly win.
This post is your 666th. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAlso, (many of) your predictions turned out to be fairly accurate. I only wish the UGA one had been true. Blargh.
