While Rutgers saw their perfect season fall, and the
Wolverines fell just short of beating the Buckeyes,
my 6-5 record was anything but perfect. A couple late
scores killed what should have been a brilliant week,
and then there was the Terps and Deacons that flat out
killed me. But all is well as I finished 1 game up,
just enough to keep me going.
West
Virginia Mountaineers (-11) @ Pittsburgh Panthers: WIN!
The Mountaineers were just too much for the Panthers,
as Steve Slaton and Pat White showed why they are future
Heisman competitors. West Virginia lost a tough one
against Louisville, but don't be confused, they'd give
any top level school a fight! For the first time in
a few weeks, Thursday night was good for me.
Maryland
Terrapins (+7.5) @ Boston College Eagles: LOSS!
Boston College just absolutely dominated the Terps.
From time to time, Maryland will play a game like this,
I just didn't expect it to come against a conference
rival. The Terps just didn't show up at all.
Iowa
Hawkeyes (+3) @ Minnesota Golden Gophers: LOSS!
Iowa has once again disappointed me. But if any team
has been more difficult to figure out, it's those pesky
and promiscuous Golden Gophers. I don't know what these
guys do the night before games, but there are some weeks
that Temple would run their show, and other weeks where
they can compete with the Ohio State's of the world.
Duke
Blue Devils (+26.5) @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: LOSS!
Just barely, what can I say? A point… Damn Blue
Devils always messing up my city wall. South Park humor.
This is the last time I roll my money on the football
Dukies.
Oklahoma Sooners (-19.5) @ Baylor Bears: WIN!
The Sooners did the Bears dirty and hooked me up with
a much needed win. Oklahoma is a very good football
team, and will only get better as their young offense
grows. Oh, and if Peterson comes back for a Bowl game..
Watch out!
Arkansas
Razorbacks @ Mississippi State Bulldogs (+14.5): WIN!
The Razorbacks almost did me good, but the Bulldogs
did just enough in the first half to pull me out a half
point victory. I'll take it, any slobbery Bulldog way
I can get it, thank you.
Michigan
Wolverines @ Ohio State Buckeyes (-6.5): LOSS! Entering
the 4th quarter, I had a terrible feeling that this
game was going to come down to a late Michigan score
and an attempt at an onside kick for a chance to win
or tie. Well, the sickness came true, and although the
Buckeyes had the game in hand, a late score by Michigan,
with 2 minutes left, did me good and the big spread
was to tough to cover. But what can I do? The Buckeyes
were up 10 most of this game, just not when it came
down to making me money.
Buffalo
Bulls (+38.5) @ Wisconsin Badgers: WIN! The Bulls
covered, got their asses kicked good, but covered no
problem. Hate to say it, actually I love to say it,
I told ya so.
Oregon
State Beavers (-14) @ Stanford Cardinal: WIN! The
Beavers walloped the Cardinal, something I definitely
saw happening. No way in hell the Cardinal were going
to play decent football twice in a season. They are
that bad folks.
Auburn
Tigers (-3) @ Alabama Crimson Tide: WIN! The Tigers
pulled out a quick one on the Tide, giving me a guarantee
at a winning week. Neither team could score in the final
quarter, but Auburn managed a slim touchdown win over
their cross state rivals.
Virginia
Tech Hokies @ Wake Forest Demon Deacons (+2): LOSS!
Wake Forest finally did what everyone kept predicting
they were going to do. The Hokies whooped them good,
and handed me my 5th loss in as many chances. Can't
win them all kids.
