PrintLadies and Gentlemen,
Hard as it is to believe, the first two thirds of the college football regular season(by number of weeks) are over. A reminder, there will be two bowl picks, so if you intend to play for the rest of the year, there are 7 remaining chances for you to score points. Sorry about the delay, personal stuff got in the way last night.
This week's games are a bit interesting, but no OMG matchups, like the "GAME OF THE YEAR OF THE WEEK OF THE ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" from last week, on which a couple people scored points.

And thus continues my streak of picking a team that destroys the spread, only to fall just shy of actually winning…

But to be honest, I don’t really like any of the underdogs, except in a couple of the near-pickem games.
Switching to Auburn (homer pick)
Briefly considered Maryland when I heard they were wearing the ugly uniforms. They worked against Miami.

Though California should never be favored by more than a touchdown against anyone, ever… And though I oh-so-badly want to be a massive homer…

This is just as much as much wishful thinking as it is shock that Vegas is really giving this game a 13 pt spread
Do you think Eddie Money has to put up with this shit?

been saving the homer pick, need the points.
Coastal needs company, as well.
