Nebraska +5 @ Colorado
I never cared for Sam Keller, and Nebraska seems to be playing better offensively since he went down. The Cornhuskers' defense is atrocious.

Yeah, Yeah, Click Clack Pick of the Week
Clemson -2.5 @ South Carolina
South Carolina is struggling. I don't understand why Clemson isn't better. I don't understand math and I don't understand why Santa was in the mall 2 weeks ago. I'm just adding Clemson to the ridiculously long list of things I can't comprehend.

Oklahoma (-8) @ Texas Tech
I like this pick, although I am probably a sucker for taking it...road favorites and all. But TT couldn't hold off Texas last week (see below's awful pick), and Oklahoma is better than Texas. Transitive property dammit!

Weekly Bet Against For Penn State
Penn State (-2.5) @ Michigan State
I just have a hunch. I feel like I am rooting for Chad's Dad or something. Maybe because I haven't had Perdue chicken pushed on me in a while. Or because I've eaten too much chicken recently. Or I'm drunk. Either way, Penn State wins by 3+

Missouri -7 at Kansas State
So Missouri is getting to the point of convincing me that they might be legitimate. But I don' t know how legit you have to be to beat Kansas State by 7. Nebraska just beat them by 40-something. Of course I am probably officially jinxing them. Chase Daniels sounds like the name of a soap opera star. And not neccesarily a man.

The Cattle Herding, Barn Raising, Chicken Plucking Lock of the Week
Alabama (-5.5) @ Mississippi St.
Alabama is 1-4 as a road favorite this year (ATS) but Mississippi St. is 0-3 at home as an underdog (ATS). What does it all mean? Nothing. I just think Alabama is at least 6 points better than Miss. St.

Burnt Orange River Shootout Lock of the Week
Texas Tech (+6.5) @ Texas
I hear that Crabtree guy for TT is good. And when we did those College Football Dynasties on PS2, once I was Texas Tech. They can score some points very quickly. So, why not - as you can see above, I suck at this anyway.

Fuck Duke Lock of the Week
Georgia Tech (-14) @ Duke
Seriously, 3 road favorites? What the fuck is wrong with me? Whatever - Duke is terrible, Roof is all but fired (I imagine), and GT gets Tashard Choice back. With basketball season upon us, Duke hatred must ramp into gear.

Altar Boys Are Charming Pick o' the Week
Air Force (-3.5) @ Notre Dame
Beware altar boys, the golden domer's and Touchdown Your Pants Jesus are after your lucky charms. I know Navy beat Air Force, but I think Air Force is at least comparable to Navy, if not better. But lest we forget that Charlie Weiss is a genius. The Patriots offense certainly has gone in the tank since he left. Before the Navy game, Notre Dame has scored 80 points in 8 games. Brilliant!
Result: WIN

Hair o' the Bulldog Pick of the Week
Auburn (+2) @ Georgia
I seem to be going against the consensus here, but I think Auburn's defense has a chance to shutdown Georgia's offense. I also think that drinking a six-pack consitutes a 'night cap,' so make of that what you will.

Is There a Comic Book Character Named Badger? Pick of the Week
Michigan (-2.5) @ Wisconsin

Weekly Bet Against Penn St. Lock of the Week
Ohio State (-3.5) @ Penn State
Ah, the bet against Penn St. - how I've missed you. Ohio St = good. Penn St = mediocre at best. Austin "No doesn't mean No" Scott is done, Morelli is just waiting out his time to go coach high school football in Pittsburgh, and JoePa has turned into Uncle Junior.

Abe Froman Sausage King of Chicago Lock of the Week
NC State (+4) vs. Virginia
I feel like there is some sort of karmic retribution on the way for Al Groh and his ass-pirates. Just a thought. And since I missed betting on NC State last week, I'll attempt to make up for it this week. Which means this is surely a bad pick.

Husker? Pick of the Week

Bounceback Mountain Lead Pipe Lock of the Week
California (-9) at UCLA
If they kicked a FG last week instead of going for the TD and the W, this line would be 5-8 points higher. And why we are here, why is UCLA the Bruins? I see that a Bruin is a brown bear. Who ever calls is a bruin? If you are in the forest, do you ever say "oh shit, there's a bruin!" It wasn't Yogi Bruin stealing picnic baskets. He was brown. Was he a different brown?

I don't expect this one to be any different. And the over/under for the Missouri Texas Tech game is 74.5!!! And I have an opinion about that game as well, but Chris B wouldn't be very happy with it.

Notre Dame (+17.5) vs USC
I can’t believe I am picking Notre Dame. Its like picking Satan, the Red Sox, Hitler (Hitler?), Jim Rome, JJ Reddick, and Terrell Owens all at once.

Kentucky (+6.5) vs. Florida
Ok, so I didn’t do the research, but someone else did – and that is what’s really important here. Urban Meyer, since he came to Florida has been a road favorite 8 times. He is 0-8 against the spread in those games. This one has real money on it instead of just this stupid little website.

If Pat is trying to play a karma card – this can’t be good. But, Al Groh is on the other sideline. He is only 9 – 757 against the spread since he has been at UVA. He also tried to get in a fight against James Franklin before the “coldest game ever” a few years ago. So, there is your karma card, you smug clueless motherfucker.

Geaux Tigers Pick of the Week
LSU (-10) @ Kentucky
I expect LSU to geaux into Kentucky and win handily. I have neaux idea how to pronounce Ryan Perrilloux's last name, but he's fun to watch. I have no idea who is going to win the Heisman, or even who is in the race, but it seems as though Glenn Dorsey has a shot to be invited, despite the fact he's a defensive lineman. Isn't that what the Heisman is about? Not who's great, but who everyone thinks is great. And everyone seems to think Dorsey is great. It seems to me he might get double-teamed a bit too much to be as productive as he could be.

The Inappropriate Bobby Knight Quote Pick of The Week
Indiana (+4) @ Michigan State
First, this week's quote: ""I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." Now, onto the game: Hoosier? So I looked up the etymology of the word Hoosier, and there isn't even a consensus. Indiana's mascot should just be a question mark. Or a recently hurled folding chair. Of all the guesses people have for what Hoosier actually means, my favorite was bumpkin or hick. Anyway, I can't believe I'm picking Indiana in a football game either. Maybe there will be another Michigan State announcer meltdown to look forward to.

Oink & Boink Pick of the Week

I feel too good about this pick for it actually to be right. Arkansas has beaten 2 nobodies the past 2 weeks, and Auburn beat 2 SEC schools. Razorbacks don't really have sharp backs, do they? It's just the appearance, right? Otherwise, how would they f*ck? Missionary? So, you don't like the title of this pick? How dirty would you feel if you were the one who came up with it. How about this: "It's oink & boink, and I helped." I don't have to f*cking impress you.

Wake Forest (-7.5) @ Duke
That's nice, Duke. You've covered 4 games in a row now. You beat Northwestern. Which actually pleased me, because that means that the worst team in the Big 10 is worse than the worst ACC team. And you actually made a game of it against Navy, and I haven't heard anything about John (JUNIOR!) Feinstein cursing on the air. As Harvey Keitel says in Pulp Fiction: "Let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet." You haven't been able to run the ball. And Wake Forest is coming off of a bye. And you're Duke.

Lead Pipe to the Temple Lock of the Week
Northern Illinois (-4) @ Temple
The last time that Temple had a line this close, they were favored by 3 versus Buffalo. They lost that game 42-7. It sort of looks like Temple can putup some points. Anyway, I had this idea that there be an annual bowl game of the 2 worst teams in Division I. Who wouldn't watch that? Ok, maybe fans of decent football. But I believe that I would watch it. Or how about the best 1-AA team play the worst D-1 school? Anyway, regardless, it should probably be called the Temple Invitational.

Penn State has 9 players from Maryland and DC, which makes sense because Pennsylvania is only separated from Maryland by one or two states. But I was surprised to learn that Illinois also has 9 players from the same areas. Because Illinois is far. Anyway, I think Illinois should give them back. At least the good ones. And Vernon Davis's little brother. If Vernon was "The Duke," Wikipedia tells me that Vontae should be "The Marquess," which just sounds awful. I like "The Baron" better. Or "The Shizznit."
