Weekend Review: Week 8

Really bad weekend for picks. Really bad.

NCAA
spread: 9-12
season: 62-64-1

5 notes from the weekend
1) The ending of the Houston-Southern Miss game was insane. With the game tied at 43 and Houston driving with :21 to go, Southern Miss showed blitz and jumped offside. The cornerback stopped because he thought the play was over. Keenum throws a perfect strike to a wide open receiver. Houston wins 50-43 (fun fact: there were over 1,300 yards of offense in this game)
2) Virginia Tech decided to lay an egg and blow any chance at a BCS bowl by loosing to a bad UNC team.
3) Iowa has the feel of a “we refuse to loose” to them. They had 3 touchdowns of over 80 yards, scored 28 points in the 4th quarter, and went from possibly getting upset at home by Indiana to winning by 18.
4) Tebow looked like Tebow as Florida rolled Georgia in Jacksonville. That game was over 10 minutes into it.
5) Is all the love I have given to Tony Pike too much? It is just the system that Cincinnati has installed and all the credit goes to coach Kelly??

NFL
spread: 3-10
seasson: 58-57-1

5 notes from the weekend
1) I am not good at picking games against the spread this week.
2) The Jets defense only allowed 164 yards and 9 points to Miami. The Dolphins had 2 kick return TDs and 1 defense TD to win.
3) Kurt Warner threw 5 INTs and lost a fumble. Glad to have you back big guy.
4) The Titans and Jaguars combined to rush for 522 yards on Sunday.
5) The Saints are a really good running team, with an awesome passing game.
