Always Bet with Black, Version 3.0.2

Previous Week: 17-10 (.629)
The Week before that: 11-5-1 (.647)
Rolling 3 Week: 40-22-1 (.634)
YTD: 17-10

Last week was a decent week for me if I do say so myself. I went 17-10, didn't get too many rabbits. Drank a lot at the Rhino and at the Dutchman's. Life is good. I mean, I was upset about the way the game ended an all. But a win's a win. Or something. Picks after the fold.

Clemson @ (+3.5) GATech

Who's your rhymin heroes? *heavy breathing*
("Killa beeeeeeeeeeees?")

You're no warrior, ya can't bang like us ("Killa beeeeeeeeeeees")
You're no warrior, ya not so devious ("Killa beeeeeeeeeeees")

Totally in context.

'Cuse @ (+29) PSU
Listen, I don't care one way or the other about Greg Paulus. Ok. That's a lie. I think it's stupid he's playing football from a physical and recruiting standpoint. But The Orange are bad. Superbad. And I fully expect Penn State to cover a 4+ TD spread.

Of course, now that I said that out loud, the fuck moose will be coming my way.

UNC (+4.5) @ UConn

Troy (-36.5) @ UF
I want to make a joke about the Trojan War, but I can't find Bizzo. Oh well.

Marshall (-19.0) @ VATech

Ark St. @ (+22.5) Nebraska

TCU @ (-11) UVA
Yes, TCU is a Horned Frog. But UVA is a Home Dog^sd1. So I gotta go with that.

Houson (-15.5) @ OkSU
What can I say, I'm a fan of Cougars.

Notre Dame @ (-3.0) TSUN
This is the 2nd hardest game to pick this week for me. It's a three point spread. TSUN is at home against a rival. RichRod is looking for serious redemption. Yet, I, just like everyone else ever, have no idea how good TSUN is. So I'll just pick TSUN because they're at home. How's that?

Tixas @ (-33.5) Wyoming
I actually had Wyoming, then Tixas, then back to Wyoming. Mostly because I'm weirded out that TIXAS IS GOING TO PLAY AT WYOMING?!?! WHY? IS THERE SOME RABID TIXAS FANBASE UP THERE THAT THEY ARE APPEASING?!?!? AND, IF SO, SINCE WHEN DO COWS WATCH FOOTBALL!?!?!?

BYU @ (-17.5) Tulane
Mormons? In the NO? That sounds like all kinds of fun.

EWU @ (off) Cal

BGSU (-19.5) @ Mizzou

Idaho St. @ (off) Oklahoma

SCAR (-7) @ UGA

FIU @ (+33.5) 'Bama

Vandy (-14.5) @ LSU

The Fighin' Maginos (+12.5) @ UTEP

SE Mizzou State @ (off) UCinn

The Boys of Carroll @ (-7) OSU
This, for me, is the hardest game game to pick. You have a True Freshman coming into the Shoe. You have Tressel's record of being absolutely sick in retaliation games^sd2. But it's still USC. And The Boys of Carroll^sd3 are typically a good team.

Miami U.(-37) @ BSU

Utah (+13.5) @ SJSU

Other Big Ten

EMU (-19) @ Northwestern

WMU (-1.5) @ (Dirty)Indiana

CMU(-15) @ The Boys of Leonidas
I've decided to refer to them and "The Boys of Leonidas." I hope you don't mind

Fresno State (-9) @ Wisco

Iowa @ (-7.5) Iowa State

AFA (-6.5) @ Minny
Seriously, I know Minny is a B10 team and all, and it is their first game at the Vault^sd4, but AFA runs the option. And it's probably harder to prepare for in your second game of the year. Oh, and they beat Nichols State 72-0. Just Sayin'

ISU @ (off) Illinois

Perdue (-13) @ Oregon

sd1: See what I did there?

sd2: Rematches of games that Ohio State lost the year before. He's like 10-1

sd3: The "The Boys of..." nicknames come from here. And yes, at some point in time I probably will have nicknames for most teams.

sd4: Is that what we're calling it?
