Every Friday, we pick the winners of the weekend’s hottest matchups. We call it “Weekend Picks.” Home teams are listed in ALL CAPS. Lines for tonight’s games can be found on BetUS.com.
Tonight: Giants +135 over RANGERS. The World Series heads to Arlington for Games 3, 4 and 5, starting with Game 3 tonight tomorrow. San Fran has had the hot bats and last night they shut Texas out. Texas hates being shut out, but that’s the way this one is going…
West Virginia -5.5 over UCONN. I’m not a fan of college teams playing on Friday nights, even if it does get their programs on TV. It doesn’t help that only one of these teams is able to read a calendar.
Tomorrow:MINNESOTA +25 over Ohio State. Yes, Minnesota is terrible, and will play just their second game under interim coach Jeff Horton. But Ohio State is a terrible, terrible road team at night.
Michigan State +6.5 over IOWA. I used to dread watching this game in recent years. Not this time. Sparty is undefeated and in the driver’s seat for a Big Ten title.
Sunday: Brett Favre’s Ankle over Brett Favre’s Penis. As for Jenn Sterger: her cable show just got axed earlier this week. Good thing she still has Playboy on speed-dial.
Steelers over SAINTS. That clanging sound you just heard was the horseshoe falling out of Drew Brees’ ass.

Isn’t the baseball game tomorrow night? Or are you typing this from China.
Also, OSU is 7-2 on the road since ’06, with all but two games against a ranked team I think (W: Texas, Iowa, Minn, Purdue, PSU, Wisc-only close game, Ind.; L: USC, Wisc.). One of those loses was a 5PM PT kickoff with USC, so not really a night game. But if that is “a terrible, terrible road team at night,” so be it. Add in bowl games, 8-5. Meh, but not terrible.
Why the Browns tailgate pic? Are you trying to make me laugh at Browns fans?
They probably charged the person who took that picture.
And the Browns are on a bye this week, so why the Browns tailgate pic now?
So you fucked up the World Series game, the Ohio State night road record, and the picture of a tailgate for a team on a bye.
Also, I would bet Rangers, OSU, Iowa, Saints, and even Brett Favres penis since his ankle won’t let him play. You really screwed the pooch on this one Punte.
I’m surprised there isn’t a Heat over Magic pick as well. Good day sir.
Today is a travel day, yokel.
Give Burnsy my condolences for his Magic if any of you puds happen to see him.
YOU GUYS NEED TO STOP ASSFUCKING YOURSELVES AT PICKLE PARK.
These picks are more often than not the kiss of death. Bet you at least 75% are wrong.
why do you pick the gayest games. who the fuck watches ucon West Virginia?
@BBBruce, Ohio State has not played Iowa yet. That’s coming up.
So glad I was unable to read this on Saturday but the Bitchigan State/Iowa pick woulda got me going. 37-6 says jump in the back seat of the Big Ten race.
@PGAWife: I was referencing night road games since ’06, which included an Iowa victory. It is yet to be decided if the Iowa game this year will be at night.
Also, it should be clarified that MSU did not jump in the back seat of the Big 10 race, just the auto-BCS bid. Big 10 shares conference titles via records, but have tiebreakers in place only for BCS game.
