We Harry, I'm sure that the video was very flattering but unfortunately (in reality fortunately) my sound isn't working so I'll have to look at it later when I get a new cable.

I'd like to watch it, but Windows 10 has me screwed up again. It seems I can do everything except watch YouTube.

It is pretty funny, especially at the end when 2nd half UT says "I'm choking. I'm choking".

I went thru the same thing for a while, then all at once it started working again...same kind of disconnect on a couple other sites.  I STILL don't like Windows 10, but it is working with others better.  (Does not play well with others)

I don't get it. UF is down to +7 today. Why anyone has the game this close is beyond me. UF is a year away from being back.

Ole Miss 38; Florida 21

For whatever reason, I see UF under 21.

Both of us were wrong. My 7-5 prediction is going to be wrong too.

'we heard you were hung'
'and you heard right'


West Virginia +7 at Oklahoma. ou enters off a bye, after a 52-38 win over tulsa where they piled up 773 total yard, 572 thru the air by mayfield, a school record. but their d gave up 600+. 'eers are a solid 21-6 ats as league dogs, 8-4 ats on the road getting pts. they have a pretty good qb too in howard. but nerd stat of the week #1; game 4 home teams off a win and a bye are 80-48-1 against the number since '80. sooners showed me something pulling off that win in knoxville. this year's team remains under the national radar, and that's when they've done their best under stoops. oklahoma.

Mississippi State +7 at Texas A&M. any league road win is a good win, that was the case for the bulldogs on the plains last week. d came up big, stopping the tigers on 4 possessions inside the red zone. aggies come in off an emotional ot win over arkansas. aggies have struggled after playing the hogs (0-5-1 ats) and they're just 1-4 ats w/sec revenge lately. not to mention 4-8 ats as home chalk. good defense usually travel well, especially when getting points. mississippi state.

Alabama +2 at Georgia. last time the tide was getting points in a regular season game? it was between the hedges back in '08, when alabama beat uga 41-30 getting 6 1/2. chubb comes in w/a 12 game streak of 100+ rushing yards, saban's d gives up 57 run yds/game. matter of fact, the tide has held all 4 of its opponents this year to season lows in total offense. again, good defense travels well. historically, alabama has been a very good sec dog (26-12 ats), 9-2-1 ats when the sec foe is undefeated. should be a classic... tough to go against that kind of history, though. alabama.

Iowa +7 at Wisconsin. so how real are the hawkeyes? best start in 6 years, their d looks much improved. they've scored as many td's on defense as they've allowed opponents this year. on the other side, uw hasn't allowed a td in 3 straight games. visitor in this series has won and covered 6 of the last 8. badgers have been a better big 10 home favorite (21-13 ats) than iowa has been as a road dog (4-8 ats). but ferentz is 6-1 w/revenge (lost 26-24 at home last yr), and 14-3 ats w/home loss revenge. did i mention i like teams w/good defenses getting points? iowa.

Ole Miss -7 1/2 at Florida. nice win for uf last week in the comeback vs tennessee, as mcelwain tries to re-establish the gators as a presence, both in the sec and nationally. that kind of win can ignite a program. this is the 1st time these two have played since that '08 31-30 upset by the rebels. matter of fact, ol' miss has covered 5 straight in the series, but all of them have been as double digit dogs. this is the first time mississippi has been favored over florida in 35 years. they're not good in that role recently, especially off a win (1-9 ats the last 10 instances). and that '80 game? uf won 15-3. i worry about a 3rd straight dogfight, but as long as turnovers don't become a determining factor, i'll take the points. florida.

Ohio State -21 at Indiana. 1988. reagan was still president. that was the last time iu beat the bucks, in what was called 'dark day II' (earle bruce had declared losing to the hoosiers in '87, the first since '50, as the darkest day in osu history). indiana has played osu tough the last 4 years, covering all 4, losing by an average of just 2 td's. they're 4-0 this year, covering all 3 lines games, while osu hasn't in its last 3 games. they have one of the best rb's in the country. but... iu's defense has given up an average of 500 yards/32 points a game, vs so illinois, fla int'l, w ky and wake forest. osu is 33-5 ats when they win on the road vs .700+ opponents. i think meyer's team makes a statement, even tho 3 td's is plenty to give. ohio state.

Texas Tech +17 at Baylor. hope the scoreboard operators has back up computer chips; the last 4 years these two have played, they've combined for an average of 99 pts/game. red raiders had tcu beat and lost via deflected td pass. tough to bounce back from that. tech's d is +5 so far this year, but that disguises an otherwise sieve-like unit. tt is 1-10 ats w/revenge vs teams off a win, 2-9 ats as league road dogs vs .600+ teams. bears literally slipped by tech last year, 48-46. they won't be looking past them saturday in jerry world. baylor.

Notre Dame PK at Clemson. first visit by the irish to death valley since joe montana's days in '77. nd is just 2-10 ats in true road games vs ranked teams. tigers are off a bye, and allowing just 12 pts/260 yds a game. under dabo swinney, cu is 8-4 ats vs undefeated opponents, and is 5-2 su vs top 10 opponents since '09 when the tigers are also ranked (only tosu is better in that time frame). i like clemson's run defense, which will force young nd qb kizer to throw in order to win. and clemson is 28-2 su in its last 30 home games. clemson.

Kansas State +8 at Oklahoma State. not too many programs out there who perform better as an underdog than bill snyder's ksu wildcats. 21-8 ats vs big 12. they are also 5-0 ats off a bye, and beat the cowboys 48-14 last year in manhattan. but k-state is replacing half its starters from a year ago. cowboys are 28-13-1 as home chalk. oklahoma state.

Arizona State +13 1/2 at UCLA. last year the bruins pounded asu 62-27 in tempe, the worst ever home loss under todd graham. last week, ucla creamed arizona while the sun devils got routed by usc. so bruins coast here, right? wellllll, last week ucla only outgained ua by 29 yards, and benefitted greatly from 3 turnovers. asu was outgained by 1 yard to the trojans, but 2 costly turnovers gave sc 2 td's. graham is 18-3 ats w/revenge as a dog or small (-3/less) favorite. ucla is 0-4-1 ats as -10/more at home, just 2-8 ats at home vs revenge, and has stanford on deck, whose beaten the bruins 7 in a row. going to take a chance on arizona state.

Arizona +17 1/2 at Stanford. last week the cardinal ran for 325 yards at oregon state, giving qb hogan a chance to not strain further his bad ankle. ua allowed ucla to rush for 213 last week. su has won/covered 8 of the last 10 vs the 'cats; 'zona is just 8-12 as road dogs lately. plus w/qb soloman's injury last week? it's a lot of points, but i'll give them. stanford.

Louisville +4 1/2 at NC State. wolfpack may be the most unknown 4-0 team in the country, and they are running the ball well so far this year. albeit vs troy, e kentucky, old dominion and s. alabama. 'ville is 1-3 w/its losses to auburn, houston and clemson. cards won 30-18 last year. they are 19-7 ats in road games. nc state is just 6-10-1 ats vs acc opponents. plus bobby petrino is an impressive playing teams off back to back su/ats wins (10-1 ats). louisville.

now go do.... that voo-doo... that you do... sooooooooo welllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7-3, pending the results of nd-Clemson and 'zona-Stanford.

As will mine. Gators played eye-opening football yesterday. Play like that all year, they'll run the table.

Pretty sure I've been counting up my scores every week. If you look at past weeks a lot of us do. It helps trn out a little in terms of managing the numbers. I noticed that you had no problem with me doing this when I went 6-7, and posted it. Very consistent of you.
