Hello ladies...







Well…That sucked

What a weekend for football!  Peyton looked like he never played the game through the first half, Kentucky completely and utterly regressed back to the days of old losing to teams they have no business even being close with, and Arkansas continued to prove my one good call this year getting drilled by Alabama.  But this weekend is where everyone redeems themselves.  I don’t wager on UK games, but if I did, Saturday’s game in The Swamp is the definition of a trap game.  Coming off an emotional prime time win in a hostile environment, then having the #2 team in the country the week after this game could make for a fun game at Florida.  Look for UK to cover the ridiculous spread and keep it close…seriously.

                I will take a little time this week to laugh at The Ville (they coined their own nickname, isn’t that cute, really, no one calls you that).  After leaving Conference USA and joining the Big East, the Cardinals thought they would be in prime real estate to dominate a pretty weak conference for years to come.  Fast forward seven years, and the Big East is looking like Conference USA.  Everyone that is worth anything is jumping ship to greener pastures, and Louisville is left alone at the party looking for the desperate girl that looks just pretty enough in the dark.  With the latest losses to the conference there is no way they deserve any respect at all in football.  They are even losing all respect they had built up in basketball.  You can look here about halfway down the page to see who is left.  With the upcoming playoffs in college football, the historical bowls are realigning to get the best they can, and the Orange bowl has all but dropped the Big East as an auto-qualifier, and replaced them with an ACC team (not the #1 ACC team) and I believe the #4 SEC team.  That’s just sad that those two get picked over you.

I’m rambling here.  I just wanted to laugh at the commuter school down the road.  Keep drinking your Crown Royal and throwing your “L’s” up and complaining how you get no respect while losing to FIU and Marshall.  Teddy Bridgewater is a good QB, not a great one.  Please win your conference outright before saying you should be ranked in the top 5.  Please beat a ranked team before saying you should be top 5.  Please stop saying “no one will play us”.  They won’t play you because you aren’t worth it.

PICK TIME!!!

Clemson @ Florida St. (-14.5)

This will be a VERY good game in my opinion.  Florida St. will finally be exposed for the good, not great team that everyone thinks they are.  Look for a close game until Clemson’s speed takes over in the 4th quarter.

Take Clemson at (+14.5)  Bet a healthy amount.  Save sun for Sunday.

Maryland @ West Virginia (-27)

I tend to stay away from spreads this big, but I think West Virginia could play Alabama in the title game in January. 

Take West Virginia at (-27)  Put a little on this to offset some other close ones.


Michigan @ Notre Dame (-4.5)

What little of the Irish I have watched they have looked really good.  What little I have seen of the Wolverines, they looked very beatable.

Take Notre Dame at (-4.5)  That bit you saved from WV?  Unload it plus some.  Night game at ND?  Duh


NFL

49ers (-6.5) @ Vikings                   This can’t be a real line.  49ers…Take out a loan!

Lions (-3.5) @ Titans                      Is Vegas messing with us?  The Titans are AWFUL.  Deed to the house!

Patriots @ Ravens (-3)                  Even money baby!  Ravens by 14 easy!


NCAA Record (2-5)

NFL Record (1-2)

It gets better…I promise!  (Seems like I’ve said that to some women before too…)
