Lock Of The Week: 4-2 (Loss last weekend)
It only gets tougher....lets hope for a winning week !
**COMMENTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE" !!!!!
MY PICKS ARE BOLDED IN "BLUE"
THE LINE: Oklahoma.....6.....AT NEBRASKA
EXTRA POINTS: Remember the days when this game was for the Big 8 Title and Orange Bowl berth ? That was many Tom Osbornes and Barry Switzers ago. Nebraska finally moved the ball with Cody Green replacing the ineffecive Zac Lee. The Nebraska defensive front will keep it close. Take the Huskers'.
PREDICTION: Oklahoma 24-Nebraska 20
THE LINE: Houston.....1 1/2.....AT TULSA
EXTRA POINTS: What can Courgars quarterback Case Keenum do for an encore this week ? This should be a fun one to watch. If you're a fan of defense, close your eyes !
PREDICTION: Houston 55-Tulsa 47
THE LINE: Oregon.....5.....AT STANFORD
EXTRA POINTS: The question is, will Oregon suffer a letdown after belting USC last week ? Stanford will not get blown out like the Trojans but at the moment, the Ducks are playing the best football in the country bar none !
PREDICTION: Oregon 38-Stanford 24
THE LINE: AT PENN ST.....5.....Ohio St.
EXTRA POINTS: After a string of less than stellar quarterback play, the Buckeyes Terrelle Pryor is finally gaining confidence and finding his rythym. I like the Nittany Lions to squeak one out, but take the boys from C-Bus and those 5 points.
PREDICTION: Penn St. 23-Ohio St. 20
THE LINE: AT MIAMI, FL.....13 1/2.....Virginia
EXTRA POINTS: The Canes' have been playing lackluster ball in past weeks. A string of injuries has hurt Miami on the defensive line and they have struggled. Miami just pulled one out last week in rainy Winston-Salem against Wake Forest, this week Jacory Harris shows why he is the best QB in the ACC.
PREDICTION: Miami, FL. 34-Virginia 17
THE LINE: Oklahoma St.....7.....AT IOWA ST.
EXTRA POINTS: The Cowboys are coming off a beating at the hands of Texas and the Cyclones have been improving in recent weeks. Is this the game that Zac Robinson shows off his arm and Dez Bryant is not missed ? Take Okie St. to cover those 7.
PREDICTION: Oklahoma St. 30-Iowa St. 20
THE LINE: AT GEORGIA TECH.....15.....Wake Forest
EXTRA POINTS: Tech coach Paul Johnson has his Yellowjackets running on all cylinders. The triple option attack has been unstoppable. Tech rolls on the legs of Jonathan Dwyer and Josh Nesbitt but the YellowJackets defense keeps the Deamon Deacons in the game till the end.
PREDICTION: Georgia Tech 43-Wake Forest 31
THE LINE: AT MINNESOTA.....6.....Illinois
EXTRA POINTS: Both teams are coming off emotional victories, I like Illinois to stay in the game until their QB Juice Williams fumbles it away.
PREDICTION: Minnesota 27-Illinois 26
UPSET PICK OF THE WEEK
THE LINE: USC.....11.....AT ARIZONA ST.
EXTRA POINTS: The Trojans are trying hard to forget about last weeks debacle. They try but it doesn't happen....they lose TWO in a row in the Pac-10 for the first time since Caroll's first year. Linebacker Vontaze Burfict is a beast, watch what he does to the Trojans.
PREDICTON: Arizona St. 23-USC 16
LOCK OF THE WEEK
THE LINE: AT MICHIGAN.....4.....Purdue
EXTRA POINTS: Rich Rodriguez needs this one BAD ! The Wolverine fans need this one BAD ! The state of Michigan needs this one BAD ! And Wayne needs this one BAD ! I can't see this one being close. Wolverine pride wins this by 12.
PREDICTON: Michigan 36-Purdue 24
THE LINE: AT IOWA.....17.....Northwestern
EXTRA POINTS: Even though Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi has lead the Hawkeyes to a perfect record, he has not put together four full quarters. He'll have his customary implosion somewhere in the second half but then drag the Hawkeyes to another improbable victory.
PREDICTION: Iowa 29-Northwestern 20
THE LINE: AT UCLA.....4.....Washington
EXTRA POINTS: The Bruins have gotten inconsistent quarterback play from freshman Kevin Prince. I actually like the Huskies to win this one outright ! Jake Locker could have a big day for the Dawgs.
PREDICTION: Washington 33-UCLA 27
THE LINE: AT CALIFORNIA.....7.....Oregon St.
EXTRA POINTS: I've rode the Beavers band wagon twice with great success. They might not win this outright but the Rodgers Boyz will keep it close. Take the Beavers over the Golden Bears.
PREDICTION: California 31-Oregon St. 28
MARQUEE MATCHUP OF THE WEEK
EXTRA POINTS: Battle of the defenses. I just don't think the Tigers have enough offense to get it done in Tuscaloosa, at least this year. The Tide will stuff the L.S.U. ground game and force Jordan Jefferson to win it through the air. I just don't see it happening. On the flip side, Tide quarterback Greg McElroy has struggled the past two games and hopes a week off can get him back on track. This one really comes down to the the Alabama defense and running back Mark Ingram making just enough plays to win it for Bama'. Roll Tide Roll, by 10.
PREDICTION: Alabama 20-L.S.U. 10

ReplyDeleteBig week ahead.....how am I looking ???
ReplyDeleteCoach Miles made his team decelrate somewhat in wed. practice. He said the team had little to much gusto and a bit too much contact. Coach Miles sad they will be ready come Sat.It will be a low scoring game. This came out of The News Star in Monroe LA. Don't miss this game it will be a good one Go T-I-G-E-R-S!!
