WP: ‘WAKE ME WHEN THE NFL STARTS’
09.04.09Every Friday we pick the winners of the world’s greatest sports matchups. And sometimes baseball. Home teams are in ALL CAPS.
Tonight: Tulsa – 14.5 over TULANE. New Orleans teams don’t have a great track record against Hurricanes. Yeah, I went there. And I took the under (62).
Tomorrow: OHIO STATE -22 over Navy, under 47. Tresselball coasts out of the garage again tomorrow, but only drives around the block a few times and never gets out of second gear.
Kentucky -15 over MIAMI OF OHIO. What’s more ridiculous, that there’s no city in Ohio named “Miami?” Or that Kentucky has a football team?
Nevada +14.5 over NOTRE DAME. Sayonara, Charlie Weis.
ILLINOIS -7 over Missouri. Mizzou has too many holes to fill, and Illinois isn’t getting nearly enough credit as a legitimate contender in the Big Ten.
Middle Tennessee State + 18.5 over CLEMSON. New coach. Same underachieving Tigers.
Army +6 over EASTERN MICHIGAN. Charlie Batch played at Eastern Michigan…and that’s about all I have.
Rutgers -5 over Cincinnati. The Bearcats have been decimated by graduation on defense. And only in college football would you ever read the phrase “decimated by graduation.” in print.
Miami (FL) at FLORIDA STATE, under 47. Admit it, we don’t really care who wins this game anymore.
Sunday: NAP over High school football. Get your rest in while you can. You’ll need it next week.


Colorado State over Colorado.
Fuck you CU.
Keep your day job!
This IS you day job, you say?
Ah. Carry on then.
If you’re playing with house money, the house just foreclosed…
