Weekly Predictions

Before I get into this, something occurred to me today. 2009 has, by far, been the best sports year of my life. A list of things that have happened since the clock struck midnight on 2008.

1) Penn State played in the Rose Bowl (too bad they got curb-stomped)
2) The Steelers won the Super Bowl (which won be $80)
3) UNC won the Basketball National Championship. (my favorite team and I won $40 buck on Michigan St. making the finals)
4) Mine That Bird won the Kentucky Derby (which won be $500 on 50-1 odds)
5) The Penguins won the Stanley Cup (which won me $120)

The only thing that could make this year better:
1) A good season for the Steelers
2) My 2 favorite athletes having career ending injuries: Ray Lewis and Tim Tebow. Call me old fashioned, but I just can't stand those overrated cock suckers.

On a lighter note...
It has finally arrived. The football season is here (fuck preseason). College Football got off to a fighting start with a sucker punch in last nights Oregon-Boise State game. Both games from last night were very sloppy but we will see how it continues this weekend.




Every week I will look at the weekend lines, games that would be good to bet on, lines to avoid and a breakdown of a few games.
We will call this opening week: (I will name the weeks after the NFL season)

Games of the week: (Pick highlighted in bold)
Ohio State (-22) over Navy. Ohio State is out to prove something for when USC rolls into Columbus.
Akron (+27) over Penn State. Joe Pa doesn't like to run up the score and PSU doesn't cover on big spreads. They will win, but I don't know if it will be by that much.
Ok. St. (-4.5) over Georgia. Georgia was sliced up from last years preseason #1 roster. Expect Oklahoma St. to put up at least 50 on them.
Mizzou (+6.5) over Illinois. Juice Williams may the the most overrated QB in Division 1.
Ok (-22) over BYU. Unless the Mormons pull something out of their ass, Oklahoma will be doing everything they can to run up the score on a ranked opponent.
VA Tech (+6.5) over Alabama. Alabama lost most of it offensive line and the Hokies will be giving them fits all day in the trenches. Bama is at home so they will probably win, but not by a touchdown.
LSU(-18) over Wash St. LSU had the best recruiting class and return a lot of people from last year. They will be making a run for SEC West with Ole Miss.
Ole Miss(-17) over Memphis. Mississippi has the best true QB in the SEC. The line has moved a full point in the last few days. Seems like everyone is loving Ole Miss.
Rutgers(-5) over Cincinnati. The Bearcats lost a lot of people from last year's Big East Champs. Rutgers had a down year last year, but should be better this year. This game could easily decide who will play in the Orange Bowl this year.
Fl St(-6.5) over Miami. Miami is still rebuilding and can't seem to keep their players out of jail. Florida St. got smacked up with some sanctions as well, but they are the better squad.

Games I bet on:
Ole Miss (-16)
USC-San Jose State over 48
OK. St- Georgia over 61.5

Sexy girl of the week:
Tim Tebow's Girlfriend (There are rumors but nothing is confirmed. We will put her up anyways.)
