Tough week for picks this week though. There are some actual good games in the NFL. I am loving the road teams in college.
NCAA: (picks in bold. Home team in CAPS)
VIRGINIA TECH (-16.5) over Unc: NC has been terrible this year, and things are not gonna get better in Blacksburg.
Wvu (-3) over SOUTH FLORIDA: A promising South Florida looked very pedestrian getting blown out by Pitt last week. WVU will not make the same mistake it did last week, taking a weaker opponent lightly.
Cincinnati (-16.5) over SYRACUSE: They can't wait to start playing basketball games in the Carrier Dome in up-state New York.
Central Michigan (+6) over BOSTON COLLEGE: I got LeFevour.... and the only prescription.... is more David LeFevour.
Duke (+7) over VIRGINIA: I was in Charlottesville on Halloween for a home game 3 years ago... not that intimidating.
Indiana (+17.5) over IOWA: Iowa can't seem to blow anybody out. They are 2 seconds from loosing the Big 10. They will win, but not by more than 17.
NC State (+9) over FLORIDA ST: 2 highly inconsistent teams. Who knows what will happen so I take the points.
Georgia Tech (-11.5) over VANDERBILT: Tech will run for at least 300 yards this game.
Ole Miss (-4) over AUBURN: The Tigers have gotten progressively worse after an awesome start.
Georgia (+15) over Florida: The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party will be close as long as Georgia doesn't turn the ball over and let the game get away from them. Florida's offense is still struggling and Tebow is looking not-so-divine anymore.
Cal (-6.5) over ARIZONA ST: Cal came back strong after that 2 game embarrassment against Oregon and USC. They will continue this as Javid Best gets his feet back under him.
Michigan (-7) over ILLINOIS: Zookville is the worst team in the Big 10 not in the state of Indiana.
OKLAHOMA ST (+9) over Texas: This game will come down to QB play. McCoy has not looked great this year despite a good week last week.
Penn State (-14.5) over NORTHWESTERN: PSU went to the Big House and proved they are a team to be reckoned with despite the cake schedule.
FRESNO ST (-17) over Utah State: Fresno has the nations leading rusher. Expect 200 yards.
Miss St. (+3.5) over KENTUCKY: Miss State has played both Florida and LSU tough this year. Kentucky was down by 30 after the first quarter against Florida.
South Carolina (+5.5) over TENNESSEE: The under for this game is set at 40 for a reason. No offense means close game.
OREGON (+3) over Usc: Game of the week: This game has so many BCS implications its ridiculous. Eugene is one of the hardest places in the country to play.
Michigan St. (-3.5) over MINNESOTA: Michigan St.= good. Minnesota = bad.
Pick of the week:
WISCONSIN (-6.5) over Purdue: Don't think I am fooled by a win against Ohio State, Purdue.
HOUSTON (-6.5) over Southern Miss: Farve's college team will have a tough time on the road against the Heisman candidate.
Heisman Leader this week:
1. C.J. Spiller - RB Clemson-
108 rushes 547 yds 3 TDs

HOUSTON (-6.5) over Southern Miss: Farve's college team will have a tough time on the road against the Heisman candidate.
Heisman Leader this week:
1. C.J. Spiller - RB Clemson-
108 rushes 547 yds 3 TDs
18 catches 267 yds 2 TDs
9 punt returns 182 yds 1 TD
12 kick returns 459 yds 3 TDs
If you are keeping track at home, thats 1455 totals yards and 9 TDs. He has a play of over 60 yards in every game this year. If he were on a better team, he would be at the top of everyone's list.
2. Mark Ingram -RB Alabama
3. Case Keenum - QB Houston
4. Kellen Moore - QB Boise State
5. Jimmy Clausen - QB Notre Dame
BCS Bowl Projections
Orange: Georgia Tech vs. Penn State
Sugar: Alabama vs. TCU
Fiesta: Boise St. vs. USC
Rose: Iowa vs. Oregon
Championship: Florida vs. Texas
NFL (picks in bold. Home team in CAPS)
Denver (+3.5) over BALTIMORE: This is gonna be a field goal game.
CHICAGO (-13) over Cleveland: Chicago needs to come out and roll a bad team, just like they did to Detroit earlier this year.
Houston (-3.5) over BUFFALO: Buffalo's offense is not good enough to keep up with Matt Schaub and the Texans' explosive offense.
GREEN BAY (-3) over Minnesota: I just don't think the Pack will let Favre come in and take this. Too much riding on this game.
INDIANAPOLIS (-12) over San Francisco: This is an awfully high line for this game, but Matt Ryan torched SF's secondary, and NOONE can stop Peyton Manning so far this year.
Miami (+3.5) over NY JETS: Miami is gonna deviate some from the wildcat and throw some 4 wide on them.
DETROIT (-3) over St. Louis: Detroit has more talent and they are at home.
Seattle (+9.5) over DALLAS: This is the kind of "let-down" game that Dallas has every year. Remember when Steven Jackson ran for 160 yards and 3 touchdowns. Trap game last year. Trap game this year.
SAN DIEGO (-16.5) over Oakland: This is just an easy one to see coming. Second straight blow out for the Charger offense.
Jacksonville (+3) over TENNESSEE: Look for the pair of hyphens, Mike Sims-Walker and Maurice Jones-Drew, to tear up that terrible secondary.
ARIZONA (-10) over Carolina: Cards picked off Eli 3 times last week. Look for 3 more against "Jakey Jakey About to Make ANOTHER Big Mistaky" Delhomme.
NY Giants (NL) over PHILADELPHIA: Philly has a lot of holes on that offensive line that the Giants pass rush will expose. Westbrook is probably hurt still too.
NEW ORLEANS (-10) over Atlanta: This could become a shoot out, and New Orleans has proved it's defense can stop good offenses. Atlanta has not.
Picks
Bal, Chi, Hou, GB, Ind, Mia, Det, Dal, SD, Jax, Arz, NYG, NO
Hot Chick of the week:
Kim Kardashian
In honor of Reggie Bush's leap/hurdle from the 5-yard line, we will show is girlfriend. (always worth a look)
