What a crazy Saturday...didn't do too bad with the picks. Missed the under in 'Bama/Georgia and Wake losing surprised everyone, but so did USC, Florida, Georgia, Clemson etc....Anyway we did call the Va Tech "upset" so we still have some to play with for today's NFL action...And away we go!
49'ers @ New Orleans
-the over 48 is looking good here. The Saints will score and the niners should have no problem throwing up at least 20 against a pretty poor Saints "D."
Denver @ KC
-the Broncos should smash the Chiefs...
Cleveland @ Cincinnati
-Both are underachieving. But both should score on each other in this one. Like the over 44 here.
Arizona @ NYJ
-Another over (44) I like here. The Jets need to win this one to prove that they're "for real?" Arizona is able to put up pts in bunches and I think they will...The problem for them is I think so will the J. E. T. S Jets Jets Jets
Some to watch out for...
Watch Atlanta @ Carolina...The Falcons at +240 could be a decent pick as could Houston (+250) @ Jacksonville. The Panthers and Jags could be overlooking they're conference foes this week...just sayin'
Good Luck!
Bye!! BOOYA!!

What a weekend!
What a weekend for college football...got off to a rough/surprising start last night with the Beavers munchin' on the trojans! The Beavers let in the Trojans but wouldn't let 'em finish! Hmm, that sounds all too familiar...Anyway, on to the weekend where we're gonna find out just who is for real (Illinois, 'Bama, Auburn, UNC, MI St, Oklahoma, TX) the list goes on and on. But here we go....
Sept 27, 2008
Alabama @ Georgia
-Take the under (44) in this one. Gonna be a slug fest between a good team and a really good team. 'Bama wants to keep it low scoring and they will. They're too good for Georgia to force a lot of turnovers and take a big lead. The clock will be 'Bama's friend. I think Georgia eventually wins but in a close, low-scoring game. Dawgs 17-13
Navy @ Wake Forest
-Wake is a lock to cover the 16 they're being given. They are good. Don't be surprised if they are this years Hawaii or Boise St. I know they're in a big conference but they're not a football school. Well, not until now anyway. Wake 41-21
Tennessee @ Auburn
-Auburn will win. I'm not sold on them by any means but I'm also not confident in Tennessee. I mean if Auburn can win a game 3-2 then anything is possible. Take Auburn @ -270. Should be a lock at home.
Ole Miss @ Florida
-Florida is good...really really good. -22
Pitt @ Syracuse
-Look for Syracuse to cover the 14.5 they're given. Everytime I underestimate them they've screwed me so I'll go with them this week against a Pitt team I'm not thrilled about. I like Pitt to win but close. Pitt 24-17
Some to think about...
Illinois +15 @ Penn St. Is Penn St that good? Is Illinois that good? We'll find out. Tough one, but a lot of pts to give to a ranked team.
Minnesota +19.5 @ Ohio St. Has Ohio St impressed anyone yet? Not me. Couple that with Chris "Beanie" Wells coming off an injury and I think you have a fairly close one. Minnesota is better than people think and they're for sure better than Ohio. Look for the Gophers to cover the 19.
Twins and Indians win also...
"!!Upset" Alert!!
Virginia Tech (+230) @ Nebraska...just sayin'
That's it.
Bye!! BOOYA!!

Sept 24, 2008
Well, not so bad for the first day...2-2, batting .500. Should have been 3-1 if that combacker to Marshall doesn't hit the broken bat and bounce into right field the Cubs get out of the 5th w/ no runs and probably hold on to beat the Mets. Oh well....Nats and Seattle winning kept you ahead for the day.
Here we go...
Sept. 24
Braves (Reyes) @ Phillies (Meyers)
-Take the Phils (-270) in this one. Bret Meyers has been solid in his last 9 starts with the only exception being his last one against Florida. Other than that game he hasn't given up more than 3 runs a start. The Braves counter with Jo Jo Reyes who has lost his last 10 and they haven't been close. The Phillies are still fighting for the playoffs and will have no problem against the Braves at home.
Cleveland (Carmona) @ Red Sox (Byrd)
-I like Boston in this one. They just clinched a playoff spot last night and could suffer from a slight hangover. I think they still want to win the division and will come out with guns drawn. Paul Byrd is going against his old team and I give that advantage to the pitcher. Fausto Carmona has been getting hit around pretty good in his last 10-12 starts. Even in his wins he's given up 5+ runs multiple times. This could be a high scoring game.
Yankees (Hughes) @ Toronto (Burnett)
-I like the over (8.5, -120) in this one. I just think that after a 3-1 game the night before that both will come out strong. The Yankees are just playing for pride at this point and the Blue Jays want to finish above the Yanks in the division to feel good going into next year. I'm thinking 11-8...
Good Luck! Booya!!
Season...2-2

So sit back, enjoy and watch your pockets get fat! Booya!
Sept. 23
Marlins (Olsen) @ Nationals (Martis)
-I like the Nats in this one (+114) being at home and everytime I've had a feeling with them in the last month they've come through. Olsen beat the Nats in Florida against Martis 10 days ago 6-1. A solid outing for both starting pitchers in that game. Martis struck out 9 and the bullpen blew it from the 6th on.
Cubs (Marshall) @ NY Mets (Santana)
-Like the Cubs to cover the 1.5 (+105) in this one. Santana is good, real good, especially in his last 10 outings or so. The Cubs counter with Sean Marshall who has been pretty solid himself his last 3 starts. The Mets are feeling the pressure of repeating last years collapse and missing the playoffs. The Cubs will counter Santana with a heavy right hand hitting lineup including Reed Johnson who is hitting .546 lifetime against Santana. Mets may win, but not by more than a run.
NY Yankees (Mussina) @ Toronto (Litsch)
-Take the Jays (+107). NY is still emotional after last nights final game in Yankee Stadium and travelling north of the border won't help. Litsch has been good lately. He went throught a rough stretch in July but was solid in August & Sept not giving up more than 3 ER in any start.
Angels (Weaver) @ Seattle (Feierabend)
-This is my upset special for the day. Seattle has lost 12 in a row and they've gotta break that sometime right? I say the Angels, with nothing really to play for now, tank this one and Seattle wins 9-3....
Good Luck!! Booya!!
