Happy Thanksgiving all. The NFL is already in its 13th week of the season (hard to believe isn't it?). I went 3-1 in Week 12 (without any assistance from the Crypt Keeper once again, mind you). Since I've had luck with out any help from a Crystal Ball or a Crypt Keeper, I'll go at my picks alone again this week and hope the wins keep on coming! So let's dig in!
Picks

22 November 2008
Week 11 is in the books as we roll onto Week 12 in the National Football League. I went 3-1 last week in my picks (picking without any assistance by the Crypt Keeper). With the success of last week, I've decided to go at it alone again this week. I'm feeling confident with my picks this week. Not 'cocky' confident, but...'determined' confident. So with that said, without any shenanigans again, let's get these predictions rock and rollin!

Week 13 College Football Preview
Last week: 5-0 Season: 22-16
This weeks picks: Penn St, Utah, Orgn St, TX Tech, BC, TCU, Boi St, E Car
Its sounds like a broken record by now but yet again the game of the week is in the Big 12 south. This game could decide who will end up in the National Championship game. Texas Tech will be going on the road for this big showdown unlike the other ones which were played in Lubbock, TX. Tech still seems too not get any respect by the odds makers as they are a seven point dog to the sooners. I wonder if the number two team in the nation has ever been such a big dog. I think OU will win this game but I am take Tech and the point, hopefully this game will not disappoint like some many others this year.

Week 12 College Football Preview
Last Week: 3-3 Season: 17-16
Weeks Picks: Cinci (-4), Va Tech (+4), USC (-22), OSU (-3), Oregon (-3.5), BYU (-4)
I have to say I am very impressed by the Texas Tech football team. I really believe there would be a hang over from the prior week and lay an egg vs. Ok State but hey went out and proved they are an elite team. They still have a couple more tough games but I am stating to believe they can run the table and be in the national championship game. Then again I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost vs. Oklahoma in two weeks.

Week 11 College Football Preview
This Week Picks: Oklahoma State (+13), Utah (-1.5), Alabama (-2.5), Cal (+18.5), Penn St (-8) and Kansas (-1.5)
Last week: 1-4 Season: 14-13
Wow! That was one hell of a game between Texas and Texas Tech. It did not disappoint at all with Tech winning on a last second TD grab tight rope walking down the sideline. Now who knows where we stand moving forward towards the national championship game? One thing we know for sure is that if Penn State and Alabama win out they most likely will meet in the big game, but if college football has taught us anything in the past is that seems very unlikely. This week is no different from the past couple where the Big 12 has another monster game on its schedule this time UT or OU will not be taking part in it. This time around it is Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State, Tech is coming off it biggest win in school history and OSU I think is still underrated. I think Texas Tech will still have a hangover from last weeks emotional win and the Cowboys will come away with this victory easily.

Week 10 College Football Preview
This Weeks Picks: Tex (-3.5), Mizzu (-20), FSU (-1.5), Oregon (+3), Fla (-5 ½)
Season:13-9 (59%)
Yet again the top game of the week involves the number one ranked and undefeated Texas Longhorns. This week they will be facing the high flying Texas Tech offense. This will be no easy task defeating a really good Tech team which is also undefeated in the Big 12 so far. If the Longhorns avoid the upset, they will have gone on to win one of the most grueling stretches of conference play I have ever seen. I think they will be so motivate they will not have a let down and will cover the seven point spread.

Week 6 is in the books. I went a ugly 1-3 last week as me and the crystal ball stunk it up. On Tuesday I suspended the crystal ball for 1 week. My crystal ball picked the Patriots over the Chargers on Sunday Night. Not only did the Patriots lose...they got rolled. I don't have the persona of the Houston Texans. I'm not patient. I have the persona of Jerry Jones. I've only been picking for 2 weeks going on to my third this week, but my crystal ball was already on a short leash after week 1 for picking the Texans over the Colts.

Week 8 College Football Preview
Picks: Texas(-6), Kansas(-19), UCONN(+3), Alabama (-13), LSU(-2), Arizona(+2)
Last week: 4-4
Wow that was one crazy week of football we witnessed last weekend. There were tons of upsets and now with last night lose at TCU we have even fewer number of undefeated teams. If last weeks games should us anything is that the Big 12 is really good and the SEC might be living off reputation more then actual ability

Picks: Fla(-4), Tex(+7), Mizzu(-13), Neb (+21), UGA(-13), Kentucky(-1), Penn ST(-5), Clem(+3) and Arizona(-6)
This weekend in college football has some very intriguing match ups most notably LSU vs. University of Florida and the Red River Shootout Texas vs. Oklahoma. These two game pin four National Champion hopefuls, thus after the weekend we shall see who indeed among them really is worthy of a berth to the National Championship game

Kellen Clemens never saw him. When the young quarterback dropped back in the pocket with six minutes left in the second quarter, he thought he had Jerricho Cotchery open on an out route. With little hesitation, he gunned the ball in the direction of his top receiver and watched it go for six. Unfortunately, for Clemens and Jets fans, those six points belonged to the opposing team, the Dallas Cowboys. Cornerback Terence Newman easily undercut the route and used his world-class speed to return the pass 50 yards down the sideline for his first touchdown of the season. Broken and overmatched, the Jets would lose the contest 34-3.

So far in this experiment we have one bet open pending tonight outcome of UCONN vs Louv. We used 10 units on that bet so we are down to 90.
This weekend I would like to see if teasers are really a suckers bet or not. I feel bookies are really good at what they do. They usually know exactly where the line should be, thus by getting 6 or 7 points more you are using the handy cappers knowledge against him by giving youself a buffer. I have 3 4 team teasers for Saturday games. Lets see how they do.
