Well 12-12 on the NFL for the season I believe and now 9-8 in the college post season.
Friday
Already spoke about Houston in my last posting.
Clemson -9. They are just too much for Kentucky.
Oregon St. -3.5.
Purdue -1.
Minnesota/Texas Tech over 65 and for some reason I like Minnesota +8.
Saturday.
Navy +6. BC has a great bowl record but their head coach has left for greener pastures down South and I think this will cause problems.
Texas -9.
Virginia Tech -2.5. Okay offense and strong defense beats inconsistent offense and okay defense.
Virginia Tech/Georgia Under 37.5. Supposedly the low totals in bowl game always go under.
Sunday.
Nevada +3.5. I really don't buy into to this game being a tryout for the players with new HC Shannon. I just think it is long trip to a crappy bowl where the Boise State fans will all be rooting for Nevada.
Monday
Tennessee -4 over Penn St. I think Penn State blows.
Wisconsin +2.5 over Arkansas. Wisconsin has been overlooked all season. They will take that out on an overrated Arkansas.
Georgia Tech +11 over West Virginia. Better off without Reggie Ball.
Michigan +1 over USC. Michigan seems to have all the stars lined up to make another run next season and look for the road to redemption to start with romp over USC.
Michigan/USC over 46.5.
NFL
Houston -4 over Cleveland.
Pittsburgh +6 at Cincinnati. Cowher chance to go out a winner and give Cincinnati a bit FU.
Tennessee -3 over New England. New England has nothing to play for Tennessee can still get in with a win and a miracle.
I also recomend looking at the Eagles at around 4 PM and see if they need to win the game or not and if Atlanta still has a chance of making the playoffs. If the Eagles need the game to win the Division and Atlanta is out of it, look out. The Eagles will win big.

Picks for Wednesday and Thursday
Down to 6-5 for the college post season after last night.
Wednesday night.
UCLA -3 over Florida St. This is a case of going with the hot team instead of the not team. I don't see FSU being psyched for this game.
Thursday
Oklahoma St -2 over Alabama. Also Under 51. The Tide will slow down the sometimes potent Cowboy offense but even under an interim coach they will fail to generate significant offense.
Rutgers -7 (buy it down if you can) over Kansas St. Over 44. Rutgers moved into a different league this season and will be happy to win any bowl since they have never won one.
Texas A&M +4 over Cal. Cal has been a hard read all season but I don't think they will show up after a very dissapointing season. Texas A&M has lost 3 games by only a total of 6 points. They will be fired up to bring home a big win probably straight up.
Early Call for Friday.
Houston +6 over South Carolina. A real offense comes to face Spurrier and South Carolina will not be able to keep up.

Post Christmas
Well I had an okay weekend raising the college post-season total to 6-4 and splitting on the NFL because of a stupid Redskins team. Sorry had to whine about that terrible game.
Tonight
Middle Tenn St +8 over Central Michigan. I think that is too many points to lay in a game the MTSU should keep close or win outright.
More Tomorrow

So far I am 3-1 in the college post season and am loving being about to watch bowls. The NIU/TCU loss on the total was a little frustrating because it was so close but oh well.
Bowls.
Tonight
Rice -4 over Troy. Neither team is so great but Rice finished strong against tougher opponents then Troy. And yeah they both got their asses kicked by FSU.
Three Big Games for Saturday
South Florida - 4.5 over ECU. Two weak offensive teams in action here, but USF finally has a QB and should win easily.
SJSU +3.5 over New Mexico. This is going against logic with New Mexico as the home team in the inaugural New Mexico Bowl but they are a weak team and should lose straight up against a resurgent San Jose St.
Tulsa +1 over Utah.
Sunday
Hawaii -6.5 over ASU and OVER 73. I am still in the Rainbow Warrior coalition and I think they will rally to win this last game in a great season. I also think the ASU offense will get back on track and score into the 30's but I don't see Hawaii under 40 for a second game in row.
NFL
Sunday.
Washington +2 at St. Louis. Two god awful teams here but Washington is playing better especially strong on the ground where St. Louis has been very very weak.
Monday
Philadelphia +7 as I mentioned before. The Eagles may lose but I also think they may win outright. Their defense has been giving up yard and points but also making game changing plays. Westbrook and Garcia have stepped up big the last few weeks and I see another strong game this week.

Thursday Night NFL
I love the Packers tonight -3.5 at home. Bowl Picks through Christmas and the weekend of NFL action tomorrow.
I also love the Eagles +7 at the Cowboys. Will explain more tomorrow.

Early Bowl Picks
We had a nice weekend winning the first game of the college post season and winning both NFL games to get me to 13-10 on the NFL season as well.
Tonight's Game Poinsettia Bowl
TCU -11.5 over Northern Illinois. TCU has gone 22-3 over the past two season and will not lose to a weak NIU team that probably should not even be here if this were not TB Garrett Wolfe's last game.
Over 46.5. TCU's games have been high scoring to close the season and I see a score of 35 -17.
Thursday Night
Las Vegas Bowl
BYU -3 over Oregon. This game will have lots of scoring but Oregon has lost 3 straight. BYU run of covers ended in their last two games but in one game against New Mexico they won by 25 as a 27 point favorite and the other was a rivalry at Utah where they still won straight up. At 3 points, this is one of the bargains of bowl season.
Back with more games on Thursday or Friday.

NFL and finally College Game tonight
Last week was 2 and 2 in the NFL bringing the talley up to 11-10 for the year. So basically I have covered my juice.
You will how much I am Jonesing for college football since I have a pick for tonight.
App St -3 over U Mass. Just a hunch and I am desparate for some action.
NFL
Philadelphia +5.5 at Giants. The Eagles seem to be getting some offense from Garcia. Lets just hope they play a whole game unlike last week when the Eagles backed into victory again.
Denver -3 at Arizona. This is only because I like my friend Dils' rationale about going with the Rookie QB who has the better defense.
Bowls are comming up on Tuesday. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Recovery and a Break from college
Well I still trying to recover from my worst week of college football prognosticating, but now I have sometime to focus on the NFL where I have gotten back over .500 at 9-8. In college I went 7-9 and did a few stupid plays on my own that I failed to post, so now my record for posted plays in College is 158 -125.
I will have some bowl previews next week and some discussion of the BCS and how it has failed in someways but also suceeded this season.
NFL
Jacksonville +1 over Indy. Indy has not played well on the road and Jacksonville is great at home.
Eagles (Even) at Washington.
Oakland/Cincinnati over 38.5 Not much defense in this game. I think the Bengals will allow some points after opening up a big league and having their shutout streak ended in the last minutes of the game last week.
Seattle -3 at Arizona. Seattle is playing very well right now.

Added Action
UConn/Louisville over 54. Again Louisville should score a ton in this game but stil give up 14 to 20 points.
West Virginia -10 over Rutgers. I think West Virginia will rebound after last weeks debacle.
NFL Sunday
Seattle +4 at Denver. I like Seattle healthy and again a virgin pro QB.

Last College Weekend
I was working on picking my games for tonight and the weekend, and was sad to realize that the season is basically over. Bowl season is fun but it is one or two games a night spread between the 19th of December and January 8th. So here we are with my last full slate of action in the Regular Season. In addition I have to say that the CUSA and MAC Championship games should be abolished since they have no meaning at all. At least the large conference title games determine who goes to the BCS.
Friday
Houston -4.5 over Southern Miss. I booked this game this morning and have since seen the line run to 5.5 so I guess that is good for me. Houston just seems to be the solid team here especially playing home. It is also hard to beat the same team twice in a season and I see Houston atoning for an earlier loss.
Saturday
West Virginia/Rutgers over 49. West Virginia does not play defense.
Navy -20 over Army. Navy has kicked their offense into high gear the last 4 weeks while Army has failed to cover their last 6 games.
Army/Navy over 49. Sloppy weather, lots of scoring.
New Mexico St -11.5 over La Tech. This is a ton of points for NMSt to be favored but they are confident after a killing of Utah St last week.
USC -12.5 at UCLA. I don't think it will be close again.
TCU -17 over Air Force.
San Jose St -4 over Fresno St. Capping off a great season with a big win against a team that killed them in past seasons.
Colorado St. -1 at San Diego St. Two really bad teams but Colorado St. is still far better.
Arkansas +2.5 over Florida. Arkansas has more heart and will win in a "nail biter", and Chris Leak will be firmly established as a "pillow biter" after he is replaced again by Tim Tebow.
Oregon St./Hawaii over 70. Score score score.
Oklahoma -3.5 over Nebraska. Nebraska is not playing at home so therefore that is a problem, Sooners roll.
Ok/Neb over 45. The total will easily hit 50.
Sunday
Tennessee/Indy over 46.5. Just a hunch.
Friday
Houston -4.5 over Southern Miss. I booked this game this morning and have since seen the line run to 5.5 so I guess that is good for me.
