quotes from not one but two of my movie faves, including the thread title. well, i'm going to make my cfb picks. but i don't want to... mainly because my parents never loved me.

Thursday Game

Miami +6 @ Virginia Tech: a couple weeks ago this looked like a battle for the lead in the acc coastal. now its to stay alive in the division. canes have covered 4 of the last 5 vs tech, but the last 2 weeks they can't run the ball. plus they are 2-10 ats off a loss vs a foe off a 10+ loss. hokies were 1-6 ats as home chalk entering the season, but are 2-0 so far this year. plus it's a short week for both teams, which imho favors the home team. plus (cfb nerd stat alert #1) teams who start 4-0 then lose 2 straight are just 13-26-1 ats vs a .500+ opponent lately. unfortunately, cfb alert #2 says conf home faves off a su loss as -7+ (hokies lost at syracuse as -22) playing an opponent off a su loss as a favorite (miami losing at unc as -6) are 4-22-1 ats since '90. that's a stronger trend. miami fl. loss. dumb pick. damn nerd stats. lol

Saturday Games

NC State +19 1/2 @ Louisville: so does the wolfpack get inspired by how well they played at clemson? or depressed by blowing the win? cards looked pretty lackluster in beating duke. their offense remains top notch, but ncsu's defense is good. plus they are 9-2 ats as a big (14+) road dog, while louisville is just 1-6 ats giving 15+ at home vs acc opponents. north carolina state.

Memphis -2 1/2 @ Navy: middies find themselves a home dog again, despite the upset over houston 2 weeks ago. especially vs a memphis team navy destroyed 45-20 on the road last yr. tigers are 1-8 ats as away favorites vs teams off a win and the only decent team memphis has played all year (ol' miss) beat them by 3 td's. so why, when navy is ranked and memphis is not, are they a home dog? navy is 2-15 ats as a home dog vs a foe off back/back wins, and 0-14 ats at home off a dog win. memphis.

Arkansas +9 1/2 @ Auburn: war eagle has looked good since starting the season 1-2. only 1 team has scored over 19 pts on the tiger d. hogs have been a great road dog lately (8-2 ats since '14) but the arkansas d, vs quality opponents, has allowed 38 (tcu), 45 (a&m), 49 (bama) and 30 (ol' miss). auburn.

Ohio State -19 1/2 @ Penn State: as someone who's making the trip to happy valley, i wish the forecast was better; blustery and quite chilly w/temps in the mid 40s at kickoff. bucks off 2 subpar (as far as the spread goes) games vs indiana and the badgers, while psu has found some offense in back/back wins over the gophers and terps. now a 3rd straight home game, getting a ton of points, off a bye. barkley is the best rb in the big 10, and the nitts are 4-1 ats as league home dogs getting 6+. osu has won 20 straight road games but is just 4-10 giving 10+ on the road vs conference opponents. teams who are 6-0/better are just 10-27 ats when -10/more away vs teams off 2+ wins. penn state's defense is so beat up, losing 7 lb's to injury this year (one starter could be back). still, weather conditions will likely take away part of osu's big edge on offense. penn state.

Ole Miss +5 1/2 @ LSU: before miles was canned, lsu's offense was averaging 340/game. since orgeron took over, even w/o fournette, it's been 547. but the rebs are 9-1 ats in baton rouge, 6-0 ats as dogs off a loss. tigers have yet to play a team w/a qb like kelly. lsu is 2-7-1 ats as home faves of less than 7 vs sec opponents. tigers get revenge but mississippi covers.

Wisconsin -3 1/2 @ Iowa: uw had the bucks on the ropes, but were forced to settle for 3 fg's after drives inside the 20, then got stopped on the 4 on downs in ot. badgers are 1-6 ats w/revenge (lost to iowa 10-6 last yr), while the hawkeyes are 5-1-1 ats as big 10 home dogs of 8/less and are 5-2 ats vs wisconsin, and i think they're catching uw at the right time off games vs osu and michigan. iowa.

Texas +2 1/2 @ Kansas State: horns won 23-9 in austin last yr but trips to manhattan have not gone as well, losing 4 straight. ksu is 34-13-1 ats at home off a loss. and holding iowa state to 6 points last week is not exactly an indication that strong has brought the texas defense back. kansas state.

Colorado +2 1/2 @ Stanford: cu looks to exercise some more demons in palo alto. scores of the last 3 games? 10-42, 0-48, 7-48. stanford's defense has kept them in games, but their offense, even w/mccaffrey, has been awful. they've been outgained 3 straight weeks. i'm sure this is the death knell since the buffs have covered every game this season, but.... colorado.

Texas A&M +18 @ Alabama: no doubt about how good the tide has been this year. but alabama is still just 2-7 ats the last 2 yrs as home chalk. aggies are 4-7 ats as road dogs lately, but they are 7-1 vs the number when getting less than 24 off back/back wins. add that to alabama's 8-15-1 ats mark vs .500+ teams off a bye? i think this stays interesting into the 4th qtr. texas a&m

Utah +6 @ UCLA: plenty of pundits had the bruins as a darkhorse to win the pac 12. they enter this game 3-4/1-3. that's pretty dark. they did give utah its only home loss last season, but ucla is 4-9 as home favorites while the utes are a strong 6-2 ats. utah.

TCU +6 1/2 @ West Virginia: wvu surprised me last week by destroying texas tech. but they are a mediocre 7-11 ats as home favorites. frogs come in off a bye and they're 12-0 ats in that scenario. plus they're 8-3 ats as road dogs. tcu.

4-8

My best week at 8-4 followed up by 4-8 this week. At least I'm .500 over the 2 week span.

8-4 only a point and a half away from 10-2

Geez, Harry, you're now -8 points on picks against Colorado this year.  I love it.

The 2016 Buffs would beat your typically over-rated Sooners by at least 14 points.  (Just like old times.)

Mrs. Fred,

      There's good news and bad.

      The good news is that I disagreed with some of our forum members who wanted to kick your ass off of this forum, shortly after Mutt invited you here.

      The bad news is that, like Harry, you're also -8 on bets against Colorado this year...

5-7. The slow slide continues
