Weekend Recap
A great football weekend (thanks in large part to a successful Saturday) made for a very enjoyable two days.
NCAA Football
Week 5: 5-1 (Pick of the Week - 1-0); Season Record: 19-16-1 (PoW - 3-2)
Recap
Great call - Hitting the Maryland pick despite no indication this team has any talent.
Good call - All the rest, really.
Awful call - None as the lone loss came in OT.
NFL
Week 4: 3-3; Season Record: 11-10 (Survivor: Eliminated)
Recap
Great call - Predicting the 49ers' shutout.
Good call - Betting against Seneca Wallace.
Awful call - Thinking the Chargers would hang with the Steelers (the score ended up being much closer than the game)
Tough break - Missing the Giants / Chiefs under by half a point.
Fantasy Football
Work League: Won 120-70; 3-1 on the season
Friend league: Won 151-111; 2-2 on the season

NFL Picks: Week 4
The Picks
Oakland / Houston Under 42: Until the Raiders can prove they score on someone, I'm going to ride the Under in their games.
NY Giants / Kansas City Under 42.5: This game seems like a carbon copy of last week's Giant game. The Chiefs' slow offense stands little chance.
St. Louis / San Francisco Under 38: I smell a shutout.
Indianapolis -10: Seneca Wallace starting at QB = immediately bet against the Seahawks.
New York Jets +7: In a high-scoring affair, I trust the Jets defense to make a few more stops than the New Orleans D.
Chargers +6.5: The Steelers have struggled without Troy P manning the middle of the secondary, and the Chargers throw the ball about as well as anyone.
--------------------------------------------
Season Record: 8-7 (Survivor: Eliminated)

College Football Picks: Week 5
The Picks
Michigan +2: How are the Wolverines 'dogs against a 1-3 Spartan team?
Maryland +13: I know it's a down year for the Terps but they always play Clemson tough, especially at home.
South Florida -6.5: The Bulls are riding about as high as possible. The 'Cuse, not so much.
Miami (OH) +30: We must protect this house.. or at least lost by less than four touchdowns.
Washington +13: Notre Dame has barely survived two weeks in a row. Can Jake Locker end that run?
Pick of the Week - Alabama -16: How is this game different than last weeks Florida game for the Wildcats? It's not.

Vince Young, Theo Fleury and Some Cool Links
*Maybe there is hope for Vince Young after all (not on the field of course). Classy move.
*Theo Fleury was thisclose to making it back to the NHL. I would have loved to see that.
*This is incredible. I love the cackling.
*I love it when fans do stupid harmless things. This one might take the cake.
*If you hate punts, head down to Arkansas.
*Want to be a professional athlete? Don't expect to get rich or stay rich. I wish I could say that I used this as the basis for not pursuing a sports career. Unfortunately, it was really my lack of athletic talent that left me no choice.
*Wow.
*The proof is in the pudding. Please fire Omar.

College Football Picks: Week 4
The Picks
Alabama -15.5: Arkansas lost at home last week against a Georgia team that can't hold a candle to 'Bama.
Florida State -13.5: Four-year starting QB lost for the season? I'll take my chances.
Northwestern Pk: Throw the common opponent (Syracuse) out the window. I'm sticking with Kafka.
TCU +3: BCS-buster weekend.
Oregon State -2.5: Is this a center ants? This spread needs to be "at least three times this size."
Washington State +46: I'll feel good for the first six possessions. After that, I'll sweat a bit.
Pick of the Week - Southern Mississippi +14 : See TCU.

College Football Picks: Week 3
Picks
Boise State -7: Fresno is coming off a heartbreaking 2OT loss on the road at Wisconsin. Now, they deal with the juggernaut of a squad.
Kansas - 22: Duke is a joke. Kansas will be able to throw it all over the field.
Tennessee +29: I have a lot of confidence in DC Monte Kiffin. They won't win and they may not score more than 10 points, but I think Kiffin can figure out a way to "contain" Tebow.
Tulsa / Oklahoma Over 58: This line seems curiously low.
Northwestern -3: Wildcats QB Mike Kafka will make a name for himself.
Cincinnati PK: Bearcats-Beavers = Game of the Week.
UCLA -12: Kansas State is awful. The Bruins are coming off a huge road victory.
Pick of the Week: Toledo +21.5: I'll have the Buffaloes for my appetizer and Buckeyes for the entree. Mmmm.

NFL Picks: Week 2
Picks
Texans +7: This is a gut-check game for Houston. Are they a team other teams should fear or are they on their way to a(nother) disappointing season.
Packers -9: The Bengals aren't exactly known for having the best character. After last week's devastating loss, does anyone think they'll respond with a great performance? Count me among the non-believers.
49ers -1: San Fran has the most impressive showing in my mind during Week 1. We have no idea how good Seattle is since they only had to play the Rams at home.
Lions +10: AP might run for 350 yards but I think Detroit makes it interesting.
Giants +3: Although not overly impressive in Week 1, the G-Men have a solid defense and a capable offense.
Survivor Pick: Packers
Week 1: 3-2 (Survivor - 1-0)

Perfect Fit for the Spurs
Check out this video to see why this Spurs' draftee will be a perfect fit on their team. The guy doesn't celebrate in any manner after hitting a game winning jumper in a big game of international competion**. Another boring player in San Antonio. Rejoice, rejoice Spurs fans.
**To be completely fair, his teammates looked like zombies walking off the bench after the final buzzer. Maybe, there was a carbon moxoide issue in the arena I can't see in the video, but I think not.

Separated at Birth?
The fat guy from More to Love and the Lions franchise QB Matthew Stafford.
Hopefully for Detroit, a city that has suffered enough, this is not an ominous sign.
