Joe's Picks

I dont have much time and im getting ready for the Georgia/Florida game (which i think Georgia can win by the way and piss on you if you doubt it - what? you think that since Georgia has no running game and that Florida has the best pass defense in the country that that is supposed to mean that Georgia want be able to score? you think because every body puts up 40 points on the Dawg D that Florida shouldnt have any trouble scoring 50? is that supposed to make a shit to me? Huh? Hell No. Bottom line is that Georgia has nothing to lose. Georgia has had 2 weeks to think about just how bad they hate Florida. and Georgia has seen a Tebag fall from grace. Final Score.... i have no clue. i just hope it aint a F'in blow out. i dont think i can handle it. i really dont. BUT i do have my 2 buddies coming over to watch it and help me out. Evan Williams and Sams Cola. good buddies of mine.

As for the picks....

So Carolina's D ends will keep Crompton on the run and he throws 2 picks to keep this game way closer than 6. USC +6

Auburn plays worse in the mornings than they do at Death Valley at night, and that is pretty bad. I called for the Kentucky upset win at Auburn 2 weeks ago as a 13 point dog and tomorrow i will lay the 4 points and watch Ole Miss win by double digits. The D of Miss is to good and the O at Auburn is to bad. if you want a little parlay then throw the under in. i think its at 49. Ole Miss -4 (& under 49 on the parlay)

Reese's Picks.

HERE IS REESE AND HIS NEW FOUND LOVER SINCE, YOU KNOW.......

I’m not gonna let this blog die a slow death. My picks may suck but here they are:

Duke +7.5 @ Virginia: Cutcliff is an offensive guru and wins this game outright.

DA U -7 @ Wake: My Riley Skinner pick a couple weeks back sucked balls. That’s why I’m going with the Thugs in check and Whipple calling deep routes all day. Miami blows this one wide open.

Michigan -7@ Ilinois: Ron Zook sux, Juice Williams sux, the whole team sux. RichRod opens up a can of home grown West Virginia bred whoop ass on the fighting illini.

GT-10.5 @ Vandy: No single coach has played PJ more than Bobby Johnson (8 times). His record is 2-6 against Ole PJ. PJ gives BJ a Dirty Sanchez at half time and blows this thing wide open during a down pour.

SC +6 @ UT: No one game plans better than The Ole Ball Coach. Lane Kiffin is going to regret saying that stuff about that recruit pumping gas for a living. Ole Ball Coach breaks one off in Lane and takes his wife (Layla) home to show her how he does it Cock’s style.

(I like it Reese cup, Culpepper, Rusty, and myself all like the Dookies this weekend. Culpepper and Rusty both suggesting the money line)

Was Chizik the right move?

Right now the cyclones, the team that Chizik left, just beat Nebraska to improve their record to 5 – 3. Chizik won 5 games total in the 2 years he was there. The Cylcones beat South Dakota State and Kent State in the first 2 games and then lost their last 10 straight games. “BUT CHIZIK LEFT THEM WITH MORE TALENT THAN HE HAD!!” says defensive Auburn fan. I understand that, but are you telling me that Nebraska isn’t better this year than last year? Last year Nebraska beat Iowa State 35 – 7 and now a much improved Nebraska team lost to Iowa State 9 – 7. Last year Baylor beat Iowa State 38 – 10 and this year Iowa State handed Baylor a Homecoming lose 24 – 10. And the loses that I.S. has this year are not near as embarrassing as last year. It appeared that last years team gave up on Chizik once they were down and this years team fights to the end. Can someone tell me who the hell Paul Rhodes is? He is the coach at Iowa State. He is the guy that Iowa State hired after Auburn came after the man that they were going to fire, you know, Chizik. He was the Auburn Defensive Coordinator last year. WHAT?!?!? You mean the guy that is doing so good at Iowa state, the guy that some people are talking National Coach of the YEAR about came from Auburn?

Now lets look at this years Auburn team, started off with 5 straight wins and now they have lost 3 straight with their last one being almost hard to watch. The final score, 31 – 10, is bad. But hey, last year Tubberville got beat by LSU 26 – 21. Lets not forget that Tubberville got FIRED because his offense couldn’t produce and the Defense had lost its fight. Uhhhhh? Im confussed. Last years Auburn team gave up 30 plus points only twice. This years team has averaged giving up 32 points the last three games. Last years Auburn team put up 26 points and 320 yards against LSU, this years team put up 10 points and 193 yards. So Chizik, looks like you and Jay Jacobs need to be figuring out where to send your resumes. Like Georgia, Like Alabama, and like so many other schools, after you fire a decent coach, you might want to make damn sure you get some one better. if not, then you are in for a bad 5 years.

Looks like Auburns next hire needs to be Jamie Pollard. He is the AD at Iowa State. Looks like he is one step ahead of the Tigers.

Pick from John S

We all like a good easy winner in the middle of the week right? Well all of us gamblers at least, the bookies probably won't pick up the phone b/c they know what is gonna happen. That's right, they are gonna get SLAYED! Not much write up time so just take East Carolina tonight, lay the points and watch Pinkney (QB for ECU for the past 8 years) deliver a winner to your doorsteps.

You can all say thank you tomorrow.
John aka "Bookie Slayer"

Gotta give props.....

to the Tennessee Volunteers. Even though their record doesn't show it, this is a team on the rise. Both Florida and Alabama were lucky to walk away with wins against this team. I am not going to make any excuses for the Tide, but their offense has looked pretty bad for the past few weeks and looked absolutely terrible this past weekend. That being said, the Volunteer defense was stout and came to play. Without the Tide defense and the immovable Mount Cody, the season would have been over this past weekend. I honestly believe that Tennessee is just a few playmakers away from being scary good.

Taking the Chalk

Don’t have much time this week for my picks and since Ga is off (hopefully getting ready for Fla) I hadn’t spent much time on here.

As for my picks, short and sweet –

Ga Tech and my man Paul Johnson run up and down the field on Virgina. Virgina is getting a little to much respect with only 3 straight wins over UNC, Indiana, and Maryland. Lets not forget who these teams are. UNC being the only one of the bunch I will even give a little bit of props to came in after a disappointing lose to GT and I think took the Cavaliers a little to lightly. We don’t have to worry about the Jackets making the same mistake. Remember, this team is the same team that lost to William and Mary in the opener.

Lay the points, Tech –5 ½

Bama’s Defense is just scary. They make good QB’s look bad and they will make a bad QB look really bad. Crompton throws 2 picks and UT doesn’t move the ball enough to keep in with in the 15. FYI, I will be at this game and should have a good story when I get back.

TCU horny frogs. I love this team. I love the fact that they get RB’s and move them to LB to have a defense that is just way faster than any other D that the teams out west see. Lets not forget that the last time BYU saw some speed on D they looked really bad (see FSU) TCU minus the 2

Everyday I'm Hustlin...

Gamecocks +17.5 vs Crimson Tide

After a dominant defensive showing last week against highly overated Ole Miss, I look for the Crimson Tide to come out and look to make a statement offensively against an overmatched Gamecock team.....but they won't cover 17.5 points. If last week proved anything, it's that you don't have to crush a team to look good to the pollsters. Nick Saban never publicly speaks about the rankings, but he knows that Bama is sitting pretty and all they need to do is win out for a rematch with Florida. Spurrier has his team believing and playing very well, but the Bama defense will be too much for Garcia to handle. It will be a close game in the first half. I say the Tide by 14.

Oklahoma -3 vs Texas

Statement game. Bottom line, Texas needs a big win and a big offensive showing. They dropped in the polls last week despite winning by a comfortable margin and being undefeated this season. Most people argue that if Sam Bradford hadn't been hurt, Oklahoma might still be undefeated. I say that is bullshit. The defense wasn't hurt against BYU. If anything, that game showed some weaknesses in the OU secondary and I look for Colt McCoy to take advantage. If Texas can protect him and give him time in the backfield, this game could get ugly. Texas by a touchdown.

Kicks and Picks

Why the title " Kicks and Picks" ? I'll tell ya. I'm gonna tell you fuckers who to bet on this week but not before I kick that dead horse a few times.
If you really wanna get a good chuckle, please scan down to Joe's 5 reason why Georgia beats Tennessee. It's fun to read to read about how that game was to be a total mismatch. Well that it was my friends, that it was.
I know I told you in my previous post that I would handle this game no matter what the outcome with class and simply say "Your boys played a good game", but....I can't. It wasn't a good game. It fact, I couldn't really even enjoy the victory because I actually felt bad for the bulldogs and how bad their team is. 3 points? Yeah, that's all your offense could do and that came from a 53 yard field goal. Do you know that the dawgs didn't even get inside the 34 yard line the whole game? These boys somehow found a way to make what is maybe the worst quarterback in UT history look like Peyton Manning.Now comes the blame game...
No refs to blame this time boys, hell if anything they called it your way, so the dawg faithful turn their heads to the defensive coordinator and they all want him fired. This is hilarious to me considering the defense was responsible for scoring as many points as the offense. Why don't we just admit that this just isn't your year. No more blame game, no more laying in the dirt and crying. You don't wanna mess up those nice khakis....


On to the good stuff

Gonna keep it short and sweet this week cause when I ramble out a bunch of stats then it just makes me look dumber when I'm wrong.

NC State at Boston College
BC is favored by only 3 at home? Seriously?? Look I saw what happened to BC last week and I think that's part of the reason I like em so much. I think they're mad. NC stae lost their last 2 games, one of which they lost at home by something like 20 points to a 15 point underdog Duke. Here's one stat for. BC has won their last 5 home games, NC State has won 4 of their last 18 road games. I'd take BC in this game if the spread were 9.

Texas Tech at Nebraska
I think this ones a no brainer here. First of all Nebraska is at home and they love that. Texas Tech knows how to score points but they've never really played a team that knew what defense was. Nebraska's defense only average 8 points allowed per game and is ranked 12 in passing defense. You take Techs ability to throw the ball away and they have nothing else. Yes, hey may rank number 2 in passing yards but they're 114 in rushing yards. Need I say more? Nebraska understands that defense wins games and that will prove true on Saturday. The spreads at 9 1/2 now. Get it before it goes up.

Good Luck!

Pick - Double Digit Dog that could win out right

Kentucky @ Auburn -13 1/2


Hartline went down early in the 3rd Quarter last week against South Carolina (who I think is a pretty damn good ball club this year). Kentucky was up 17 – 14, then South Carolina scores a TD to go up 21 – 17. Kentucky then finishes the 3Qt off with a field goal and we have a 21 – 20 ball game with a true sophomore (click that and check his bio out) at the helm for Kentucky in Columbia. South Carolina Scores a TD mid way through the 4th to go up by 8. Now what happens next is the main reason I like UK. Cobb leads his team on a 8 play 70 yard drive to score what could have been the tying TD but they failed on the 2 pt conversion. The reason the line is double digits is two reasons. The first is you have an Auburn team that is getting a little more respect than they deserve and you have a Kentucky team that is starting a true sophomore on the road. UK defense keeps them in the ball game and Cobb scores enough points on offense to keep with in the 13 ½ points that Auburn is laying. plus this gave me a reason to have a couple of pictures of Ashley Judd. (i love you ashley...)

Kentucky +13 ½ - the Dog of the week.

little bit from me, and then Reese's picks

(before you read Reese's picks i want to say that i have written four different posts about the Ga/Ut game and have deleted them all. I really cant figure out where i stand on the Richt issue. i will have something later in the week about it. As for "the Truth" ; he sent me his picks saturday and i didnt get a chance to post them before sunday. he did go 2 - 1 w/ his loss being the Bills)

I’m back and prolly with a bunch of loser picks but here it goes:

Wake +7 at Clemson: Riley Skinner…….’nuff said.

USC/ND under 49: Matt Barkley doesn’t have this offense as explosive as past SC QB’s, it’s more ball control and there D is stepping up. Charlie Weis is a poser.

OU/Tex over 51: They both can score and Bradford looks to be back at almost 100%.

TT +10.5 at Nebraska: It doesn’t matter which QB plays (Sheffield or Potts), they both can move the ball. Nebraska can score more than years past.

GT +3 vs VT: My Jackets are going to move the ball and score td’s, plain and simple. If the D steps up any and I mean any, watch out for PJ to unleash Hell on Beamer and Bud Foster. Joe I bet you were nodding your head all night agreeing with PJ last week when he took it to Mickey Andrews. Oh and another fact or 2, GT didn’t punt against FSU and hasn’t tried a field goal in 3 weeks since the UNC game.

(welcome back reese, what sucks about liking PJ is that Ga sucks real bad this year. while im going to pull for tech in every game till the last, its going to be very pain full to see him put up just as big of numbers as he did last year against this Defense. Maybe it will be the final straw that breaks Willie Martinez's back.)

to rusty, im sorry

Well rusty I guess I need to apologize on behalf of the Bulldog Nation. Our Clothing is truly unacceptable and I apologize that we wear khaki pants and make you feel inferior for wearing cut off blue jeans and tennis shoes with a Velcro strap. We need to take your feelings into consideration when we wear a polo shirt and next time go get the latest starter t shirt at walmart so you will feel better about yourself. I do hate the fact that we cant wear our orange hunting vest to ball games like Tennessee fans do, but we actually hunt in ours so we don’t want to get the smell of coon dogs on it when we go to Knoxville. Our women actually dig the fact we still have hair and don’t really care for the “beaver cleaver” look that peyton made so famous while at UT. Our flip flops are just flat out wrong. I agree 100% rusty. We should be more manly in our shoe chose but they are comfortable when we leave the game and go listen to some good live music in Athens, but I will be sure to wear my boots in Knoxville since most of the roads are not paved yet.

As to wanting to fire our head coach after a disappointing year. Correct if im wrong but didn’t yall just fire a man that had went 152-52 and was responsible for bringing Tennessee to where they are today. Wasn’t he just in the SEC championship game a couple of years ago? I completely agree that Georgia fans are not nearly as patient with their head coach as you guys are., seeing that mark richt has the longest tenure of all SEC coaches. But hey, if we could have replaced him with a guy as experienced as Lane Kiffin then I would want to also.
So Rusty, get ready to “hang your head high” after you lose Saturday morning and prepare for another losing season. I wish I could sympathize but its been since 1996 since Georgia had a losing record and I would actually have to go back and check the record books to see when we had back to back losing records. But hey, “it’s a rebuilding year” so don’t get down on yourself little fella, with a coach as proven as jr. is, im sure you guys will be back before you know it. Good thing your patient. May take him a little it longer since he is pissing every other head coach off in the SEC. What a good representation of such a humble fan base. Damn you Georgia, Damn you.

Why I hate Georgia fans

By: Rusty Thomas

Here I sit at my desk, watching the clock tick away till game time. Only 24 hours left till kickoff. I can’t wait! Tomorrow at noon, my Tennessee Vols will take on the Bulldogs of Georgia. This game means a lot to me because of all the games we play all year, I want to beat Georgia the most. You see I’m a die hard Vols fan living in Georgia and something dawned on me long ago. I actually have no real problem with Georgia’s football program,
No one in association with the team has actually wronged me personally, except for that time Tim Wansley tried to beat me up in a waffle house parking lot, the deep hatred I have for this team isn’t really based on the team at all. It’s their fucking fans that make me physically sick with anger. Here’s why….

Let’s start with the obvious. Every UGA fan is fundamentally the same person. A bunch of loud, obnoxious red necks that get up on Saturday morning and put on their game day uniforms. Red polo, neatly tucked into their Khaki pants, hat sitting on top of their heads but not pulled down too far so that every one can still see their shaggy mop hair cuts that they all seam to have, flip-flops and of coarse the quintessential expression of absolute douchebaggery painted upon their face. Now that’ we’re all in uniform let the mouthing off begin.

If they handed out the national championship in July, Georgia would win it every year.
“This is gone be the year, National Champions 08 baby” followed by high fives all around using their free hand that isn’t holding a Zima. God forbid they actually are honest and say well, this looks like a rebuilding year for us. No, they can’t say that because truth be told, 90% of the retarded Georgia faithful probably can’t name a single fucking player or even tell you the coaches name.

Once the season starts, the douchebaggery only gets worse. Georgia loses a game, is it their fault, no, never! Blame the referees, “they didn’t call it both ways” “ if it wasn’t for that bad call we’d of won” Just look at the LSU fiasco, maybe it was a bad call, but let’s face it, the better team won. Plus, who the hell are you to bitch considering your are one of the most penalized teams in all of college football. Cheaters! Just once I’d like to hear a Georgia fan say “ they played a good game, they were just a better team.” Well, I won’t hold my breath on that one cause you ask any Georgia fan and they’ll tell ya that on a neutral field versus the Indianapolis colts, Georgia wins my 2 scores.
Then, god forbid they actually win the game, they have absolutely no class. How bout a “ you guys played a good game” or “ man, that was close, we sure lucked out there.” No, not from a Georgia fan, all you’ll hear loud uncalled for gloating that really just makes you want to put your foot up their ass right through their neatly pressed khakis, considering they probably didn’t even watch the game as they were tied up at the Nickel Back concert.

These are just a few of the reasons I can’t stand these cock suckers. I hate myself for it but I actually have to cheer for Florida when they play Georgia, yes I said it, Florida because I wouldn’t cheer for Georgia even if they were playing against communist Russia.

Tomorrow’s game is big for both teams and I’m pretty sure Tennessee’s running game and defense will be enough to come out victorious. Georgia will be moving backwards all day do to penalties and Tennessee wins 24-17. After our victory, I’ll wait silently for the Georgia fans to finish their speech about how it was the refs fault and how Mark Richt should be fired for not winning every game and then I’ll say, “you guys played a good game” and that will be it. However, if this game doesn’t go my way and Georgia comes out on top, it’s ok, I can hold my head high cause at the end of the day no matter what the score may be…………………………….You guys are still douche bags.

Top 5 reasons why Georgia beats UT

before i say a little bit about the Ga / Ut game i wanted to give you guys some links that are pretty good

• View from 336 always has a great wright up before the game, read it HERE
• If your wanting to read some vol's stuff, read it HERE
• David Hale, who i steal most of my stats, ideas, and most of the other shit i post from, check him out HERE as he goes "behind enemy lines" and speaks with a Vols blogger

Now for my top 5 reasons why Georgia beats Tennessee in Knoxville

1. Officials
2. Orson Charles
3. AJ Green
4. Lane Kiffin
5. Jonathon Crompton
   
   #1 the officials came out and apologized for completely screwing up the call on AJ Green last week so this week they lay off and Georgia only gets flagged for 100 yards.
   
   #2 Orson Charles will have a big game. We have seen glimpses of him this year and every time he looks more and more special. Expect a 20 yard plus touchdown from charles this weekend
   
   #3 AJ Green is the best wide receiver is college football. AJ Green is the best play maker in college football. I cant describe how good this kid is and I cant wait to see Eric Berry go up with AJ and watch AJ come down with it.
   
   #4 Lane Kiffin – let me take you into the future. Tennessee loses to Ga, then Bama, then So Carolina, then beats Memphis, then loses to Ole Miss, beats Vandy, then loses to Kentucky and finishes the season at 4 and 8. Georgia finishes at 9 and 3 and is playing on New Years day against at Big 10 school and is a 6 point favorite. You are going to wake up with a hang over and tell yourself, can you believe that Georgia was a 1 point underdog to Tennessee? The point is, Kiffin sucks.
   
6. #5 Can you tell me a worse QB than Crompton? I watch him and cant help but to chuckle. I think to myself, why didn’t John S get a scholarship if Crompton did. Ok, maybe that’s pushing it. I have been reading that Georgia should see more wildcat this weekend. should be interesting.

The Truth

Once you find a horse that wins you ride it till he is done. Well that is what I’m doing with Alabama. The Tide is 4 and 1 ATS with their only lose as a 34 pt favorite. South Carolina showed that when you get some pressure on Snead that he becomes a totally different QB. Kirby Smart will have some blitz packages out of the 3 – 4 that Ole Miss has never seen and Snead will be totally out of his element. Alabama does not turn the ball over or shoot itself in the foot with stupid penalties (like Ga) and that’s the reason the game will not be with in the 5 points. I normally buy the whole point on my top picks because so I will have it at 4. A man wiser than myself once told me, F@$# the juice, I play to win. The Truth is, Bama covers.

The next pick is a total mismatch. Georgia has beaten a real good South Carolina team, a decent Arizona State, and a pretty good Arkansas team. They were 45 seconds and a bullshit call away from beating the #4 team in the nation LSU. Ut has 2 wins and the teams they beat are the Hill Topers and the Bob Cats. How long is taking you to figure out who those teams are. UT is 2 and 3 with 2 of the 3 loses coming to teams that were not even ranked at the time. And the other was a “moral victory.” Listen if you program is at the point where you have “moral victories” then you need to be given up double digits to a good SEC team. You can get this game at a pickem and the only time this game will be close is at kick off. The second string qb at UT must still be in high school because crompton is as bad as they come. The Truth is, Dawgs cover.

Come back before sunday to find out "The Truth" about the sunday ticket

(that picture is of the back up qb at UT)

The Truth

I have got a special guest for you guys this weekend and I hope to be able to make him a regular on your favorite blog. This is no joke. Guy went 11 – 0 this past Sunday including straight bets, teasers, and parlays. I witnessed this first hand. Now all of you are pretty knowledgeable (I know this because you choose to read this blog) so you understand the odds of this happening again is slim to none BUT!! He will maintain a winning percentage with his NFL picks. With over 25 years of handicapping experience we are truly fortunate to be able to have his insight into the NFL. Now I know most of the contributors on here think very highly of themselves. So highly no one emailed me or posted anything after having a horrific week. This guy may take a hit every now and again but I can say with complete certainty that you will be better off after getting his valuable insight. Whether it be just to lay off a game because he sees a trap, or a good opportunity to middle a game because he feels the line is right on the money. What ever it may be, you will be better off going into Sunday after reading his thoughts. I know I am full of shit most of the time. Guys and gales this is not a joke. He asked that his name not be revealed and out of respect I obliged. So I will simply refer to his picks as “The Truth.”

on a side note. i am part of a new college football poll called the mumme poll. (you can click it and it will take you to it) i will be posting how i voted on this poll and i would like for it to be a good representation of all of us so please give me your feedback. this week i voted -- #1 Alb, #2 Fla, #3 Tex, #4 Lsu, #5 Va Tech, #6 Iowa, #7 Miami, #8 USC, #9 TCU, #10 Cinny, #11 Auburn, #12 Boise St i tried my best to not let any preseason hype or the current polls right now have any impact on my poll. of course this is impossible to do but i did try my best.

Blame for LSU game

Who do we put the blame on for Saturday’s loss? I’m not sure. So here is my attempt of placing the blame for Georgia falling between the hedges.

Joe Cox – joe had nothing to hang his head low about. (Not that it really matters to him that a guy that has a blog that 8 people read doesn’t think he should hang his head low) I was waiting the whole first half for him to get into a rytheym and in the 2nd half he did. Lets not be to hypocritical here. when he gets the ball with under 3 min left down 12 – 7 and drives 6 plays 79 yards in under 2 minutes to score the go ahead TD with a 1:09 to go in the game!! Joe Cox wasn’t on the field when Ga allowed LSU to score their TD to go back ahead. Lets not act like if Cox would have thrown that ball to AJ w/ 5 seconds left that we wouldn’t have all been talking about how much of a leader Cox is.
COX GETS 6% OF THE BLAME just because he is the qb and he did have a shitty 1st half.

Willie Martinez- god I wanted to blame willie so bad but actually I didn’t think he did that bad of a job. I know they put up 368 total yards (212 ground / 156 air) but we did hold them to 5 for 14 on 3rd down conversions. After the first half for us to only be down 6 points and our offense to be completely out of sorts, you got to give him a little credit. And I really hated to. Even on the finale play, Houston was double teamed, Boykin was being held, and Rennie (what appeared to be rennie) took the wrong gap. They had great blocking and im not sure willie should have done anything different on this play. 4 WR’s and a single RB w/ QB in shot gun and we were in the nickel and both LB’s attacked forward like they were expecting the a run… im hell, how can I fault willie.
WILLIE GETS 8% OF THE BLAME

Mike Bobo- 1 first down in the 1st half is completely unacceptable. However. After going back a really looking we were pretty balanced in the first half. It felt like while watching that we abaneded the run to early but we really didn’t. 8 runs and 10 passes with 4 passes in a row one time but other than that we were pretty balanced. BUT then the 2nd half came around and we had 18 passes to 11 runs and here is what CMR said about the play calling himself.. "We need to have enough of a good mix of run-pass to keep people off balance a little bit."
BOBO GETS 12% OF THE BLAME

Caleb King and Richard Samuel – come on guys. Really. This is the place where running backs get ready to go to the NFL. Samuel showed a glimpse of a good running back early in the So Carolina game after getting heavily critized for how he ran against Oky State but since then it seems like he is a 1 hit = tackle running back. AND King came in with Herschel hype and just hasn’t seemed to be able to put together anything. BUT now that Ealey has made his statement, the depth chart may get adjusted.
KING AND SAMUEL GET 17% OF THE BLAME

HEAD COACH MARK RICHT- the University of Georgia has now lost 8 of their last 9 home games against top 5 teams at home. Tommy Tubberville had a better record than this and he is playing golf right now. I don’t know why you have a problem scoring points in the first half but it normally helps. “but ga lost 80% of its offensive production last year,” whiney ass fag says. Horse SHIT!!! Last year here is a couple of our big games.
vs. South Carolina: Six points in the first halfvs. Alabama: Zero points in the first halfvs. Florida: Three points in the first halfvs. Auburn: Seven points in the first halfvs. Michigan State: Three points in the first half
(stole this stat from david hales blog – you can read it HERE)

yea, this is with the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft at QB. This is also with the #12 overall pick at RB. This is also with 2 NFL caliber WR’s in MoMass and AJ on this team.

HEAD COACH MARK RICHT GETS 57% OF THE BLAME!!!!
We do still control our on destiny in the SEC east though.

Winner, Winner.... Chicken Dinner

Alabama -15.5

Obviously I am being a homer on this one, but for the first time in a long time the Crimson Tide have an offense to go with their stifling defense. After watching Tebow gash the Kentucky defense for over 100+ rushing yards, I feel that the Tide's trio of running backs will have their way with a pretty weak defensive front. The 'Bama defense looks as strong as ever and I don't see much of an offensive threat for the Wildcats. I am not saying that your should bet your mortgage, but this game is a lock.


LSU +3.5

Joe will hate it, but I think that LSU wins this one straight up. This is a HUGE statement game for the Bayou Bengals. Their #4 ranking doesn't mean shit at this point. They have been the benefactor of better teams getting upset and a weak schedule up to this point. However, Les Miles is aware of all of this and will be out to prove that the Tigers are, in fact, as good as their ranking states. I have just been very unimpressed with the Dawgs this season. While they have been scoring points faster than Rusty eats donuts, their defense is just atrocious. They look vulnerable at all points of attack and I think that this week LSU will be to much for 'em.

My picks

Washington +13.
Your getting good value here after the hang over loss to Stanford last week. Washington may not be a top team but they do have a top QB and he alone will keep this game with in 2 TD’s.

DETROIT LIONS ARE BACK, or here for the first time…. I’m not sure if they ever have been so I don’t know if they can come back to something they have never been. ANYWAY, Detroit is a much improved team, and now that they do have a win under the belt, they have a new found conifendence in themselves. Getting double digits from a Chica….Chica…..Chica GO!!! GOT YOU!! SIT DOWN!!! (name that movie) Chicago hasn’t really found its rythem and I don’t think they should be laying this big of number. Not picking an upset here, but do feel that the Lions cover the number

BUDDY RYAN buddy ryan, your D is so so fine, buddy ryan. The J. E. T. S. JETS!! JETS!! JETS!! The jets beat N.O. straight up here and if they don’t then they damn sure will take care of 7 points.

Short and sweet…
