Hopefully the last shortened one. Picks after the break

Short, late post mostly because this week and next week pretty have/will blow for me.

First Rabbit Day coming week 3.

Welcome once again to my favorite weekly post, Always Bet with Black. And, as per usually, we kick things off with a picture from Britty.

"happy will kill you", by Britty

Ah. She's her brother's sister ain't she?

Anyhoo, for reasons known only to him, instead of the old format, young dits has decided to pick all of the bodog.com games. He insists that this will make it easier for you, the reader and consumer.

What he's doing is that he's showing you the spreads they have (pretty much the initial ones) and what he's betting on, using a gambling term known as "units". The units, typically, will vary week to week. But it's basically a confidence rating. That's really all you need to know.

We'll keep track of both his actual money picks and his total picks. Possibly even picks by conference.

Also: we have no idea if Random Numbers is coming back this year, because of the Dutchman being busy with actual things. But we do know that Rabbit Day will be back.

Because it is awesome.

Picks below the jump?

Since I'm sitting at home sick from work for a second straight day, I figured it's about damn time I shared my Mumme Poll picks with you for this week. If you're unfamiliar (shame on you), pollsters simply list 12 teams and only rank the top 5. And if you need to know something about how I poll, I don't consider any team with one loss to be better than a team with zero losses. Sure, Kansas is probably due for a loss and would probably get creamed by Va Tech, but they haven't lost yet so there.

Dearest cofabgians.

I know what you're thinking. That we've been slacking off with the posts. I mean, its our time over here at cofabg. We got college football. We got hockey. We got NASA blowing up the Moon. We got Pres. Rocks winning the Nobel. We got Limbaugh pledging allegiance to the Taliban^sd. This is when we should be writing the most. But, as per usually, we haven't and I blame me.

That changes now. We think.

Anyhoo, onto this weeks picks. Presented without comment

Quick and dirty because I am tired. And have been for the past week or so

This Week: 13-12-1 (.500)
Last Week: 23-5-1 (.793)
Rolling 3 Week: 53-30-2 (.623)
YTD: 57-28-2 (.655)

Regressing to the mean^sd. I sorta knew that after last week's absolutely wonderful week last week that I would suck this week. Though it is kind of weird that the week RN takes off, I have a week where I go .500. So, I'll take whatever rabbits I'm supposed to get.

Seriously? Sado Bunny? Was it that bad?

It was? Ok. Fine.

Last Week: 23-5-1 (.793)
Previous Week: 17-13 (.567)
Rolling 3 Week: 57-28-1 (.663)
YTD: 57-28-1 (.663)

Picks below the fold. I mean, I know I'm normally more verbose, but I have nothing really to say.

Ok, for some reason, I've been putting writing this one off. I have no idea why. Technically, Rabbit Day reviews should be done on Mondays. But no. I mean, I feel like I would be mocking the CFB picking gods if I published this. Because I went 23-5-1. Seriously. Who does that?

Oh. Right. Me.

Rabbit day below the fold.

I do not have high hopes for our clueless random number generator this week. But if ditriech does as badly this week as he did during the day games last week, the random number generator can't lose!
