Back at it!

Alrighty everyone, I am back from my month log vacation. I was out of the country for most of October and did not really have a chance to do my homework and give you some FREEMONEY picks, but I am back in town and thought this is the right week to get back on track and make some money. This season has been a little crazy to say the least. Do not get scared. That is the way we like it because it has the chance to make some spreads just ridiculous. For instance, last weekend Ohio St. was only favored by 3.5 over Purdue?! Are you kidding me? People are so confused out there that this line actually held up. November is the perfect time to make some money. The cream is beginning to rise to the top; don't get me wrong, there will still be some upsets, but nothing like the first couple months we had here.

Anyway, just wanted to give you an update and say to look forward for some FreeMoney Picks this weekend.

Bye weeks are good for everyone once in a while,

Picks for October 6-8th

Free Money College Edition

1)Ohio St. -7 at Purdue

-Simply put OSU is more than 7 points better than P.U. This will be the best defense the Big Drum Beaters have faced all season. The most points they have given up has been 14 points. Lock of the week here boys and girls. Get it while it's hot.

2)Oklahoma -11.5 vs. Texas

-The difference here is that while OU might have been looking ahead and not taking care of business against Colorado last week, Texas was not and has some seroious problems on defense. If Central Florida and Kansas St. can put up at least 32 points on Texas, then OU will have no problem. Furthermore, this is a rivalry game, but it is not the same type of rivalry we are used to; you know the tough, close, down to the last second rivalries that are so great in college football. Out of the last 10 times these teams have met, only once has the margin of victory been less than 10 points and that was 1997.

3)Central Florida -3.5 at East Carolina

-Golden knights against the Pirates. Normally I would side with the Pirates, but if there is money to be made I have to go with the Knights on this one. UCF's only loss this year was in a admirable effort against Texas. E. Carolina on the other hand has lost by 10 to Va. Tech, 7 to So. Miss, and

4) Wisonsin +2.5 at Illinois
-Um, yes Illinois is better this year.

Free Money NFL Edition

5)Houston -5 against Miami
-Shaub and company get back on track against Miami.

6)Pittsburgh -6 against Seattle
-Seattle is a bad road team, the Steelers win by at least a touchdown.

7)Dallas -10 at Buffalo


I know this is late in coming, but I traveled back to the States yesterday so this is just getting published.

Until next time,

3-3, not bad, but not making money either

What! ND won!!! (against the spread that is, but at this point I'll take it). Other than that, the college football weekend was crazy. Were teams just "looking ahead," as the ESPN explanation goes, or is it just signs that there is parity in college football. I give major props to the Auburn team, especially the kicker, after knocking off Florida and having to deal with Urban Suckmeyer in the swamp.** Too bad Ty Willingham could not knock off USC, that would have really completed a good weekend of fun college football. I am looking forward to being in the States for the next three weekends and watching most of the games live and in better picture than off the slingbox for a change. I am working on my picks this week, but if you just cant wait here is my pick for tonight:

Milan over Celtic tonight in Champions League. Kaka nets at least one and Milan comes away with another in. it will be a tough game at the Celtic's home, but the best they can hope for is a draw tonight.

** I would have done the same thing Urban did. He is hired to put his team in the best position to win and he did what he had to do at the time.
