So much for my pick ‘em skills
Last week I bragged. This week karma came back and kicked me in the nuts. I went just 7 for 17 against the spread.
There’s a lot of blame to be spread around and I’ll shamelessly blame everybody else except me.
Mississippi State decided to play just a little bit of offense en route to putting up 17 points. But that means they lost by 31 when facing a 33 point spread. Bastards.
Similarly, Colorado continues to lose. Maybe they were buoyed this week by their almost-win at Georgia last week. Either way they lost by only 15 with 16 point spread.
Virginia Tech just looked like shit.
‘Bama also managed to lose by just 15 with Floriday favored by 16. I’m getting really sick of Crimson Tide. Bastards.
Washington State kept things respectable against USC. I won’t lay too much blame here because I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing the Trojans drop a game or two this season.
Nebraska let Kansas play them into overtime. I’m getting real sick of the Big XII, too.
Then there’s UGA. The Dawgs remain undefeated, yet oh-so-close to flushing their whole season down the crapper. Wake Forest embarrassed Ole Miss and Georgia can only put up 14 points en route to a 5 point win. Bastards.
And finally, I reserve my hatred for Yahoo and/or the odds makers. The final lines had huge jumps in them like I have never seen before. Those changes cost me the Florida and Missouri games. That means that Yahoo is the biggest bastard of the week.



I’m coming to get you Broken Gnome. Keep making fun of my picks and see what happens.
