And Everyone said the Boston Red Sox were a shoe in to win the World Series. THere are some other sure things being predicted right around this time of year too…But, i digress.
Anyhoodles…on to the money losing portion of today’s post. 4/6 last week. 29/57 $750/$1000. Good thing my bookie is a nice guy!
#2 Clemson at Florida State – Sat, Oct 27, 12:00 PM ET – Clemson is giving 17 on the road at Deone Sander’s house! I always wanted to see that guy play wing on the Rugby Pitch. 17 points, I gotta go with Clemson beating that spread.
#20 Wisconsin at Northwestern – Sat, Oct 27, 12:00 PM ET – W is giving 4 and beat that spread.
#9 Florida at #7 Georgia – Sat, Oct 27, 3:30 PM ET – The gators are for real this year. No one saw this coming. They are getting 1 point at Georgia??? yeah, no. The Bulldogs beat this spread.
#18 Iowa at #17 Penn State – Sat, Oct 27, 3:30 PM ET – Iowa is getting 7 on the road at Happy Valley. The Nittany Lions lost last week and need to save their season. As Macker would say…that makes them the Loins. The Loins need to beat this spread. This will be a great test of team fortitude and coaching. Against my better judgement, the Lions beat this spread.
#18 Iowa at #17 Penn State – Sat, Oct 27, 3:30 PM ET – Duke is giving 3 at me Beloved Panthers. My Alma Mater need to beat this spread. They will.
#14 Washington State at #24 Stanford – Sat, Oct 27, 7:00 PM ET – The Cougars??? Ummm…no one saw them being ranked either. They are getting 3 on the road at The Tree. Cougars beat this spread.
#16 Texas A&M at Mississippi State – Sat, Oct 27, 7:00 PM ET – The Aggies are getting 1 point on the road, they beat this.
#3 Notre Dame at Navy – Sat, Oct 27, 8:00 PM ET – The Good Catholic Boys are at the Midshipmen and giving 24 points to Navy. Navy, like PITT always plays ND tough, but ND is really, really good this year and Navy stinks. ND remains undefeated but does not beat this spread.
#6 Texas at Oklahoma State – Sat, Oct 27, 8:00 PM ET – The Longhorns are back and are giving 3 to the Cowboys. There are a few things in college ball that must happen for the universe to be in balance. Notre Dame and Michigan have to be good, and The Longhorns have to be the best team in Texas.
Let’s go with $100 per game…and I might have to sell one of my kids if i lose big this week.
Carried over from the last thread:
when i went to PITT i would always sit at the Mike Ditka bench just outside of the Cathedral of Learning. I was on campus yesterday and had a seat there again and smoked a cigar. It was glorious.45 minutes of perfection…a nice cool fall day, the sun was out, the weeks classes were winding down, and there was a touch football game going on on the quad.
All i was missing was a few pints with Chris Hitchens at the bar.
