Weekend Review: Week 6

NCAA
Spread: 11-7
Season: 41-44-1

5 Notes from the weekend:
1) Terrelle Pryor might be the most over-hyped college football player in the last 10 years.
2) Virginia Tech has become perennial choke artists.
3) If Tony Pike is out more than a week, Cincinnati will be in trouble. Their backup, Zach Collaros, can run, but they will need to be explosive in the passing game to continue to compete.
4) BCS rankings are out, and Alabama should be #1. Florida has not played well the last 2 weeks and is riding the coattails from their preseason ranking.
5) TCU stats from Saturday: 46 carries 275 yards 3 TDS
They had 14 different people with a rushing attempt in the game.
They outgained Colorado St. 499-182.
They play BYU in the biggest game for that program in a while this weekend.

NFL
Spread: 6-8
Season: 47-43
Picks: 9-5
Season: 61-29

5 Notes from the weekend:
1) Baltimore’s defense is not that good. Especially at cornerback.
2) It is official. Washington has the worst offense in the NFL.
3) Different season, same Philadelphia Eagles. Losing games because they abandon the run. At no point did they need to give up on what was an effective running attack.
4) Cincinnati is in trouble. They seem to not be able to handle success, and Antwan Odom, their best defense player who was off to a monster year, is out for the season.
5) Coolest thing no one talked about this weekend. Chad Johnson (that’s right I will still call him that) partnered up with a local Cincinnati business (Motorola) to buy up the remaining 1,500 tickets to keep the game from being blacked out in the Cincy area. It is rare a player does something like that.
