I pulled it off last week…

It is hard to get everything right just picking 5 games agaist the spread in college football. Equally hard to get everything wrong. Well I pulled off the impossible and went 0-5 last week after going 4-1 the week before. So, overall I’m 11-14 on the year. I’m going to take last week as a moral victory…the same kind of victories Charlie Weis is putting on his resume at Notre Dame. Hey, if he can get a big contract off of it maybe someone will drop one on me too.

Picks - Week of the Underdog

1. Missouri @ Oklahoma (-10.5)

I was impressed when I got a chance to watch Missouri last week. One of their tightends, Martin Rucker, is looking like the next big one at that position and of course QB Chase Daniel really showed the world about himself against Nebraska. I don’t think they can beat Oklahoma but they will make it a game… Missouri + 10.5

2. Louisville @ Cincinnati (-10.0)

Now, who could have called this at the beginning of the year…Louisville rolls into Ohio a 10 point dog to Cincinnati. Just more fodder for why there should be a playoff system in college football. But, I am hoping that Louisville can bounce back somewhat because the offense is there… Louisivlle +10

3. Auburn @ Arkansas (-3.0)

I would have thought that Auburn would be favored in this game. I like their defense right now and the offense isn’t turning the ball over. If Brandon Cox would have played this way at the beginning of the year they would be undefeated. Auburn wins outright…
Auburn +3.0

4. Washington @ Arizona St. (-11.0)

Washington has been competitive in every one of their games (well…kinda against Ohio St.), going 1-2 against ranked opponents, and Arizona St has looked great but they haven’t beat a ranked team. I think Ty Willingham keeps his team close… Washington +11.0

5. UCF @ South Florida (-11.5)

After all South Florida has done this year this could be on upset alert this week. I think both defenses will be prepared because they run similar offenses. I see a close one in Tampa… UCF +11.5
