Lucky
Lester's NCAA Pick'Em - Week 6 REVIEW
Umm…
Yeah, 0-5 in my free picks. If you happened to
be the guys who purchased my Elite
Picks, you went 4-1 on the week. But if you
just took my free
picks, and wagered on them, like I did, then you
probably came out with some bruises and a hatred for
this guys' college picks. Ah, that guy is me. Here's
a review of the worst of weeks for my free picks.
LUCKY
LESTER'S Free NCAA Football Picks
Georgia
Bulldogs (+1) @ Tennessee Volunteers:
(Line: Tuesday, 2:00am EST: Bookmaker)
This
was the worst week every, and it doesn't help that I
won 1 pick in my free section last week. In this game
in particular, I looked like an absolute dumby. The
Bulldogs were dominated in every phase of the game,
and Eric Ainge looked like Peyton Manning picking apart
the Bulldogs' defense. I sucked this week.
Stanford
Cardinal @ USC Trojans (-39.5):
(Line: Tuesday, 2:00am EST: Bet-Jam)
This
was the worst week every, and it doesn't help that I
won 1 pick in my free section last week. Not only did
USC fail to cover that huge spread, but the Trojans
just flat out lost to the Cardinal. I didn't think that
USC had one of the best defenses in the country, like
everyone else thought, and last weeks game at UW worried
me a little bit. But I thought they'd come back strong
and beat a terrible Stanford team whose coach, Jim Harabaugh,
had been talking a little too much about USC all summer
long. I was dead wrong - but at least #2 got upset,
I always love that!
Virginia
Cavaliers (-10.5) @ Middle Tennessee State:
(Line: Tuesday, 2:00am EST: Bookmaker)
This
was the worst week every, and it doesn't help that I
won 1 pick in my free section last week. The Cavs thought
this was a gimmie just like I did. I don't really get
it, as I've never gone into a game taking it easy on
a team. However, it looked like Virginia came to play
the Bad News Bears, or I guess football's version, the
Little Giants. Well, Mid-Tenn ran The Annexation of
Puerto Rico on the Cavs, and almost came out with a
win. The 23-21 score was too close for me to pull out
of Tennessee with at least one victory. Dang!
Ohio
State Buckeyes @ Purdue Boilermakers (+7):
(Line: Tuesday, 2:00am EST: Bookmaker)
This
was the worst week every, and it doesn't help that I
won 1 pick in my free section last week. Purdue didn't
do anything against Ohio State, and the 23-7 score actually
wasn't that close. I expected a lot more out of a decent
Purdue defense and a passing attack that had put up
16 touchdowns before the Ohio State game. I expected
too much. Damn it all to hell.
Oklahoma
State Cowboys @ Texas A&M Aggies (-6.5):
(Line: Tuesday, 2:00am EST: Bookmaker)
This
was the worst week every, and it doesn't help that I
won 1 pick in my free section last week. My last hope
was Texas A&M, and naturally, they let me down.
A few weeks ago they led me off with a huge disappointment
loss to the Miami "Lost to North Carolina this
week and sucked in the process" Hurricanes. This
week, they finished off my winless free picks, and now
I hate them even more. Yeah, they won the game in the
end, but they needed a late surge to do so. Down 17-0
at half (what I didn't predict), A&M came back and
put up a 24-6 2nd half (what I actually thought would
happen in this one) for the one point win. Nice win!
