Happy Saturday Morning to you,
Well it has been a couple weeks and ND's defense has still not shown up. We got a bye this week, which is probably a good thing since I got some finals to study for and I need a weekend off of watching the game come down to the last drive of the game. It is almost my birthday and my heart just can't take it the same say I used to. So as much as this week off is helping the team it is really helping me out. Maybe I should send them my finals schedule for the rest of my time in school so they can plan their games accordingly?
Results:
For those of you keeping track I am now 11-14 (.440)
With all that other stuff out of the way let's get down to business.
College Ball:
- Auburn -2.5 at Arkansas (11:00)- The only thing I don't like about this game is the time. I am a little concerned about Auburn traveling and having to play a morning game, but their offense should able to put up at least 35 and their defense hold the Hogs to below 30. Looking forward to the Iron Bowl this year.
- West Virginia -10 at Syracuse (11:00)- WVA's only loss of the year came against Auburn, who is turning out to be a decent team this year (see above pick). Meanwhile the Orange(men) of Syracuse are improved from last year, but they still don't have what it takes to hang with Mountaineers. West Virginia takes this one by at least 2 TDs.
- Alabama -4.5 at Ole Miss (14:30)- Ole Miss is good, but not that good. I have watched a couple of their games this season and every time I just don't see a team that should be in the Top 15. Too inconsistent, lack of big plays, just leaves you wanting more. I really don't understand how this line is below a touchdown? Perhaps because it is at Ole Miss the books are giving them 3 points, but I think even 'Bama away needs to give away more points than this to make it close. FREE MONEY PICK OF THE WEEK.
- Indiana +6.5 at Virginia (14:30)- Virginia is coming off their first win of the year, after losses to William & Mary and Southern Mississippi and also returning home after two away games, but they will still have a hard time against IU. The Hoosier's should have beat that team up north (Michigan) and they even put up 14 against OSU. If Doss plays well for IU today, they take the game and if has an average game they cover the spread. Good bet here.
Pro Ball:
- Pittsburgh -10.5 at Detroit (12:00)- Luckily the Lions got their win a couple weeks ago because with the injuries they have and the Steelers coming to town they just don't stand a chance. Roethlisberger scores at least 3 TDs and win this going away.
- San Francisco -2.5 and Over 40.5 vs. Atlanta (15:05)- Finally Crabtree signs, but this has nothing to do with this game. San Fran at home is a tough game. They are playing great so far and I think even without Gore they can still put up points and the defense will hold Atlanta.
Seven plays for you this week. Good luck to you out there.
