Weekend Review: Week 7

I have always been a bigger fan of the NFL than NCAA. Maybe it's because the Steelers won the Super Bowl last year. Maybe it's becuase both of my fantasy teams are tanking. But either way, have you noticed how much more fun it has been to follow college football so far??

Finally got back to .500 on the college football lines.

NCAA
Spread 12-8
Season: 53-52-1

5 Notes from the weekend:
1) TCU’s defense looks better every week. They have a very serious chance to run the table.
2) When the fuck did Pitt become so good? Am I imagining things?
3) Just as Alabama started showing they are the best team in the country, they lay an egg against Tennessee… AT HOME!!!
4) There is a good chance the best team in college football is not in the SEC.
5) It is hard to get a young team, like Miami FL, to play consistently week in and week out.

NFL
Spread: 8-4-1
Season: 55-47-1
Picks: 9-4
Season: 70-33

5 Notes from the weekend:
1) Before the Saints game stated I said “Darren Sharper will intercept Henne for a touchdown today.” When the score was 24-3 I said, “No need to worry. A Drew Brees lead Saints is not out of this game.” They once again proved they don’t have to throw every down to win.
2) Brad Childress really knows how to loose games. Say what you want about Favre’s 2 turnovers, Childress had terrible play-calling in that game.
3) Once again, very good teams look very good against very bad teams.
4) If you look at the stat lines from the Vikings-Steelers and Patriots-Buccaneers games, they are almost identical. But scores are MUCH different.
Offensive Yards: Minn. 423 Pit. 281 (Score: Pit 27, Min 17)
Offensive Yards: NE 415 TB 261 (Score NE 35, TB 7)
5) The Eagles, Colts, Bengals, Bills, Jets, Chargers and Packers combined to commit 0 turnovers this week. They forced a combined 23 turnovers. Needless to say all of them won.
