keeping my day job

to support this side job that is not doing too well... hahaha!!!

Didn't too well in neither section this week. The good news. I did catch the Stanford/Oregon game and also part of the Oklahoma St/Texas Tech game.

Before I post the results. I would have loved to have seen Penn St and Texas Tech in the Bull Crap Shit Championship game. It would have been wonderful to see how Penn St's awesome-up-to-yesterday defense play the TT still-awesome-today offense. I think Graham Harrell (40-50, 456 yds, 6 TDs for this game, 4077 yds and 36 TDs for the season), if TT wins out, should win the Heisman. And the runner up should be Michael Crabtree. 

Now to the results. This week there was a tie, so...


(My calls in Blue, correct calls in Green, ties in Yellow and incorrect calls in Red.)

Games I would (and probably have) put money on (my picks in GREEN):

Baylor 16 Texas 51 (Texas -28)
Baylor 21 Texas 45

Utah St 12 Boise St 48 (BSU -35)
Utah St 14 Boise St 49

Penn St 24 Iowa 9 (Penn St -8)
Penn St 23 Iowa 24

Arizona St 33 Washington 10 (ASU -14.5)
Arizona St 39 Washington 19

San Jose St 31 LA Tech 13 (SJSU -7.5)
San Jose St 0 LA Tech 21


Games I would love to put money on, but have no guts:

Arizona @ Washington St (Arizona -41)
Take a guess why I have not guts putting money on this game. It's gonna be a blow out, but Arizona is not USC and can they actually put up 41 points on Wazzu?
Arizona 59 Washington St 28
Arizona should have lost this game. They allowed Wazzu to score 28 points on them?? Wazzu has score 30 points in their last 5 games, their last 2 a big fat zero. How on earth did Arizona allow Wazzu their best scoring game of the season?


Illinois @ Western Michigan (Illinois -8)
Illinois has been pretty decent this season. They have a good offense but not too good a defense. W Mich has a good offense too and I think this might be a high scoring game. However, I think Illinois has just a little more of a defense than W Mich does. But, don't know enough of W Mich to place money on this.
Illinois 17 W Michigan 23

Michigan @ Minnesota (Minn -8.5)
Minnesota will be back after their last moment interception touchdown return loss against Northwestern last week. They will beat the not too good Wolverine team who also had a heart wrenching loss last week to Purdue. However, I don't think Michigan is quite that good enough this season to beat the Golden Gophers who are going to gain an advantage through turnovers.
Michigan 29 Minnesota 6

San Diego St @ BYU (BYU -37)
I know SDSU is quite bad, but I don't think BYU has the offense to cover the spread.
SDSU 12 BYU 41

Georgia @ Kentucky (Georgia -12.5)
sigh... Georgia's hopeful championship season has come to a close. I liked this team. I hoped they would have won last weeks game against Florida. But, maybe they are not as good as everyone, myself included, thought they were. 2 weeks ago, I would have said they would have covered this spread... today, I don't know. They will win over an injury depleted Wildcat team, but I am not confident they will cover the spread.
Georgia 42 Kentucky 38
