Today: Ohio State over MICHIGAN. Homer/rational human pick.
UConn over Notre Dame. Charlie Weis may not be much of a college coach, but he’d make a terrific main course for Thanksgiving.
CLEMSON over Virginia. The Tiger Faithful went all-in with Dabo. If they take care of business today, they’ll finish in the money.
Tomorrow: Jimmie Johnson over Driving Fast, Turning Left. Leave it to the guy from California to kick NASCAR’s ass for four straight years.
Eagles over BEARS. Jay Cutler is still better than Donovan McNabb.
At the end of each week, Josh picks the winners to the weekend’s hottest matchups. Home teams are in ALL CAPS. Follow Josh’s action here. Thanks to the Chavez clan for the img.
Tonight: Boise State -21.5 over LOUISIANA TECH. The Broncos can make a statement to the nation with a big win against a team that’s recently had their number in beautiful downtown Ruston, LA.
Cavs -8.5 over KNICKS. LeBron typically plays well at the Garden, but that doesn’t mean that he’ll be doing so next year in a Knicks uniform. Also taking under 200 here.
Eskimos +4 over LIONS. Oh, CFL, how I’ve missed you. Read the rest of this entry »
At the end of each week, we pick the winners to the weekend’s hottest matchups. And sometimes baseball. Home team in ALL CAPS.
Saturday: Georgia over Florida. I don’t understand why everyone has stopped calling it the World’s Largest Cocktail Party. You’d think the Deep South would still have the audacity to call a spade a spade.
Southern Cal over OREGON. The Matt Barkley Era appears to be in full swing, but that won’t stop me from stabbing anyone that continues to utter the phrase, “Best One-Loss Team In The Country.”
PHILLIES over Yankees. Phils in five. Chase Utley could become baseball’s first “Mr. November.
Sunday: Giants over EAGLES. McNabb looked terrible against the Redskins. One can only wonder how he’ll hold up against a real team.
Vikings over PACKERS. Brett Favre Brett Favre Brett Favre, “Brett Favre Brett Favre Brett Favre.” Brett Favre. Brett Favre? Brett Favre.
Marshall over CENTRAL FLORIDA. The closest you’ll get to Sunday Night Football this weekend.
Every Friday, in some form or another, we pick the winners of the weekend’s hottest matchups. HOME TEAMS are in all caps, just like your mom when she sneaks out of my house every Thursday night.
Georgia Tech -6 over VIRGINIA. Thomas Jefferson founded both the University of Virginia and the single-wing offense that Georgia Tech currently employs. But only one of them is run by people that don’t get paid. That’s progress.
Ball State -3 over EASTERN MICHIGAN. Muncie Madness! Ball State is 0-6; Eastern is 0-7. Somebody has to win this one. Where have you gone, Charlie Batch?
CINCINNATI -18 over Louisville. Tony Pike for wrist surgery Heisman! And for the weak link in my four-line parlay.
MICHIGAN +4.5 over Penn State. Joe Paterno will die during this game. Either that, or he won’t. IT COULD GO EITHER WAY!
Iowa +1 over MICHIGAN STATE. I’m liking the Big Ten ‘dogs this week. Though the only thing Michigan State should be favored in involves a rowdy auctioneer and a stack of pies.
Washington State +35 over CAL. I take back what I said about Cincy -18. Washington State has GHB’d me in the past, and they’ll probably do it again tomorrow.
TEXANS -3 over 49ers. Houston was one of the few bets I made money on in Vegas last week. Here’s hoping that the good times continue.
BENGALS +0 over Bears. Whatever. I might pull my Bengals gear out of the closet if they can pull this one out.
Vikings +5.5 over STEELERS. Look at me! I’M BETTING LIKE A LITTLE KID!
Any Other Day Of The Year over Sweetest Day. Did we really need a pseudo-Valentine’s Day? Isn’t one enough? I know, I’m a hopeless romantic.
Pepsi over Coke. No contest, unless you’re using said beverage to mix drinks. Then, I would have to reverse my position.
Blogging over Working. Duh. Oh crap, here comes my boss!
Raking Leaves over Shoveling Snow. Raking is much more conducive to 1/2-hour beer breaks.
Taco Johns over Taco Bell. Those are my two traditional Mexican fast food options where I live. It may be different in other parts of the country.
Irish Coffee over Spiked Hot Cider. That stuff is just way too apple-ly.
Doobs over bowls. Call me old-fashioned, that’s just how I roll (get it?).
Master of Puppets over And Justice For All. I anticipate no arguments on this one.
Ramen over SpaghettiO’s. In the battle of food you eat when you’re broke, there is no comparison.
Screwdrivers over Bloody Mary’s. Try as I might, I cannot dig on drinking tomato juice. And I love tomatoes. Weird.
I have no idea what I’m doing. Please do not take my advice. In fact, it might be best if you did the exact opposite.
TEXAS -32 over Colorado. Colorado sucks. So I’ve heard.
You know what? Forget this. It would be pointless for me to continue this charade. Just looking at the betting lines made my eyes glaze over. Instead, lets go with some things I know a little bit more about.
CHEEZ-IT over Doritos. Tastier, you can eat more and your hands don’t get messy.
Xbox360 over PS3. Unless you don’t have a Blu-Ray player. Then it’s even.
Hooded Sweatshirt over Jacket. They just look cooler.
Super Mario Brothers over Sonic the Hedgehog. Not even close.
Kubrick over Scorsese. That’s a tough one, but I have to stick to my guns.
Hardwood Floors over Carpet. Dude, just get some throw rugs.
Showers over Baths. If you’re a man, this is a no-brainer.
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia over The Office. I like them both, but come on.
Early Morning Golf over Sleeping In And Playing Later. Come on. The course is in better shape, the morons ain’t around, and you can always smuggle in an Irish Coffee. Take a nap later.
Ketel One over Grey Goose. This one might be more of a personal preference bit.
Weed over Booze. Unless you feel like drinking. You can always smoke later.
So, now my day here is done. It has been my pleasure trying to entertain you guys (and ladies). I hope I at least kept the seat warm for the genius that is Punte and didn’t do too much damage. Have a great weekend. Thanks for reading.
