Shoeless week 3 picks


Well I need to rebound after last week's miserable picks.  I may have over thought these, but tried to put some extra time in.  Lets see how it goes:

WVU:  I was a bit shocked when this line came out at 13.5 and definitely would have taken Maryland, but I decided to wait for the line to come down, and even without the Doghouse Wonder Brandon Hogan, I am biting on WVU -10.

Tenn +14.5:  Home SEC team getting more than 2 TDs in a rivalry.  Oregon is that good, and Florida is that bad.  Remember, a USF team gave Fla a run for its money for 3 quarters at home last weekend and 21 their points were scored on turnovers.  I like BJ Daniels, but the kid doesn't have much around him and he is young enough to make big mistakes.

Hawaii +11.5:  Since I bet on them against a service academy on 9/11 and it worked, I might as well go back to the well.  Tim Brewster will probably be the first coach to be fired; can Slick Rick outlast Hawkins?

Bama -24:  could be a huge letdown game vs a Duke team thats throwing the ball around, and I wouldve rather had it a few points ago on the open, but I just cannot resist this line, or the chick at the top.  I mean pantyhouse and spareribs, thats what this tailgate is about.

Houston -3:  this is another one I feel like I am getting tricked into taking (and I know Keenum may be out), but Houston is looking so dominant and UCLA looks like Marshall versus anyone, but WVU.

Arkansas +2.5:  Ive flipped flopped more than Kerry on this one (editors note:  I voted for Kerry and stand by it to this day, I like ketchup).  Another road game in the SEC and the hogs havent played a legit opponent yet, but ya gotta think they outscore a freshman QB without his top target.

  1. Classic road sandwich game for Bama between Penn State and Arkansas. We shall see.
