OCTOBER 24th and 25th games

It appears I am back on track going 5-3-1 last week.  That push happening on the worst televised football game of the year in Texas – Oklahoma.  This brings my two week record to 8-11-1.  For you $100 a game gamblers, you are down $410 with my picks.  Not to bad for some of you degenerates.

This weeks games will mostly fit into the let down game format.

Kansas +7.5 at home against Oklahoma.  Take Kansas.  They will try to rebound against an embarrasing perfomance against Colorado.  Oklahoma is coming off an emotional loss to Texas and will be without Bradford this week.  They have to actually score 8 points to cover the 7.5.  Kansas 21 Oklahoma 20.

Missouri +13.5 at home against Texas.  Take Missouri.  Again, I’m taking the let down factor.  The same emotion brought against Oklahoma will not be there against Missouri.  I don’t think Missouri wins but they stay close throughout.  Texas 31  Missouri 24

Mississippi -4.5 at home against Arkansas.  Arkansas just played the game of their life and got dropped by Florida by 3.  They won’t have much left for a good Mississippi team.  Could be a Mississippi blowout.  Mississippi 34  Arkansas 13

Wake Forest +3 at Navy.  Wake hasn’t fared to well lately against Navy, but they are bigger, faster and have more athletes on the team than Navy.  Navy has played well against good competition, but they also haven’t won any of these games.  Wake Forest 31  Navy 27

Georgia Tech -4 at Virginia.  Tech can score and has been playing well lately.  I’m not sold on Virginia yet.  They can’t score, and doubt they will score much on an average Tech defense.  Georgia Tech 38  Virginia 17

Complimentary Pick:  Philadelphia Eagles -7 at Washington Redskins.  Not only are the Eagles coming off an embarrasing loss, but the Redskin offense is pitiful.  A touchdown and fieldgoal may be all it takes to cover this one, unless the Redskin defense scores.  How do you stay within 7 points of the Eagles when you promote a guy who’s been out of the league 2 years to send in the offensive plays.  Apparently, Sherman was living in a retirement community helping out with Meals on Wheels and calling Bingo on Sunday nights the last 2 years.  Now he’s sending in plays for the Washington offense to execute?  Well, it’s an upgrade from Zorn anyways.  Eagles 33  Redskins 10

Other picks:

Colts -13

Steelers -4

Dolphins +6.5
