Upsets. Nobody decided to cover this weekend. All the big teams wanted to do was score just enough to win or just shit the bed and loose. At least Florida managed to act like an elite team this weekend (by winning another cupcake game)
Lets take a look at how I got bent over this weekend on picks.

Every at ESPN is calling this "Revenge Weekend" in college football. That is really a stretch. They will do anything to create a story sometimes. The only real "revenge" will be Urban Meyer giving Lane Kiffin a public colonoscopy on national television Saturday. Miami is not mad at Ga Tech. Tech just ran all over them. Texas is not mad at Texas Tech. They lost to them fair and square last year. There were no blown calls, no cheating, nothing.
My picks for the weekend. (picks in bold, home team in CAPS)
NCAA
Georgia Tech (+5) over MIAMI
Boise St. (-7) over FRESNO ST.
UNC (-7.5) over East Carolina
Utah (+5) over OREGON
UCLA (-12.5) over Kansas St.
WASHINGTON (+18.5) over USC
Michigan St. (+10) over NOTRE DAME
WVU (+7.5) over AUBURN
FLORIDA (-29.5) over Tennessee
Cal (-14) over MINNESOTA
BYU (-7.5) over Florida St.
Texas Tech (+17.5) over TEXAS
Cincinnati (pick) over OREGON ST.
NFL
Oakland (+3) over KANSAS CITY: Kansas City is a mess on defense and Oakland can run on almost anyone. That's right I said it. Almost anyone.
TENNESSEE (-6.5) over Houston: Tennessee is no joke. This team finally got some receivers.
New England (-3.5) over NY JETS: I have gone back and forth on this some much its crazy. But everyone is loving the Jets. What does that mean.... take the Patriots. Never go against the Patriots.
GREEN BAY (-9) over Cincinnati: Chad Johnson thought it would be funny to say he was gonna do the Lambeau Leap after his touchdown to protest that it is still allowed as a touchdown celebration. What is really funny? Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson said he is gonna score a touchdown.
Minnesota (-9.5) over DETROIT: The only way the Lions keep this close, is if Minnesota runs it the entire second half and kills the clock.
New Orleans (pick) over PHILADELPHIA: If McNugget was playing in this game I would lean towards Philly. This game will be lower scoring than people think.
ATLANTA (-6) over Carolina:
Indianapolis (-3) over MIAMI:
Cleveland (+3) over DENVER: Carolina, Miami, Denver. My preseason picks for teams most likely to have a drop off. They are fitting the bill so far.
St. Louis (+9.5) over WASHINGTON: I know St. Louis is terrible. But the Skins have a tough time moving the ball offensively. Santana Moss was a ghost last game against NY.
JACKSONVILLE (-3) over Arizona: Will Arizona really start 0-2. I say yes. Expect to see Matt Leinart by week 10.
Seattle (+1.5) over SAN FRANCISCO: The Niners are a strong defense with a good running game. This game will come down to QB play and Hasselbeck is the much better QB.
BUFFALO (-5) over Tampa Bay: This would be much more certain a pick if this game was in December and it was -25 degrees out. I am sold on Buffalo as a better team then originally anticipated, especially the defense. T.O. is already working on imploding this team so I guess it is better this game is not in December.
Baltimore (+3) over SAN DIEGO: Chargers starting center is hurt. L.T. is banged up. Now the other Big East Bruiser (Ray Rice) is going to make his mark against this defense.
Pittsburgh (-3) over Chicago: Cutler was a disaster under Green Bay's pressure. That happens to be Pittsburgh's speciality.
NY Giants (+3) over Dallas: Romo might of have a good day, but that was against a completely gutted Tampa D. He is gonna be on his back all night (and not with some chick riding him). Dallas's "good defense" gave up 450 yards to Tampa Bay. 450 YARDS!!! Expect 130 and 2 touches out of Brandon Jacobs.
