WEEKEND PICKS: CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY
12.04.09
Saturday: Central Michigan – 14 over Ohio. There was a time when Ohio was the xth best team in America, where x is “the number of teams currently in college football.” Central Michigan has been great this season, upsetting Michigan State, who I hear is a Big Ten school.
Houston -3 over East Carolina. Houston has been getting a lot of press for their high-flying offense. But “a lot of press” for Conference USA rivals local high school coverage and wanted ads on milk cartons. Does anyone drink milk from cartons anymore?
Cincinnati -2 over PITTSBURGH. No, it’s not an AFC North matchup. The Bearcats will lock up the Big East if they can get past the Panthers tomorrow. A national title berth, sadly, seems out of their hands.
Clemson +1 over Georgia Tech. Clemson has better players, but couldn’t adjust to the Single T or whatever the hell Tech is running now. They won’t have that problem this time.
Underdogs over The Establishment. Nebraska +14.5 and Alabama +6.
Sunday: Non-crappy teams over Crappy Teams. That’s Cincy -13 over Detroit, Chicago -9 over the Rams, Panthers -6 over Tampa Bay (even with Matt Moore starting), and the Chargers -14 over Cleveland.

The Bears and Panthers are non-crappy teams???
^ They both won, so go punt yourself.
Also, pretty brave not to pick a winner in the biggest game of the weekend (Florida v. Alabama). Prognosticating is so difficult these days. Heck, even mentioning it is ridiculous. Fuck the big boys, let’s go play in the sandbox. I steal garbage pail kids.
^Great. They are both still shitty teams.
