I'm still up about $1000 for the year, but I took an ass-whipping last weekend, so I did some extra studying for this Saturday and I'm pumped!! For what it's worth, this is how I see it:

My 2nd biggest Lock of the Year:
(my #1 lock was Cal -8.5 vs. Minnesota in week 2)
AUBURN -3 @ 'Bama
As bad as Auburn played last week, Alabama sucks. They lost at home to Miss. St! They're headed nowhere whereas Auburn has New Year's Day bowl potential. AUB 31-14

MIAMI -3 @ Virginia
Sure, it's a been a hellish season on and off the field for the Canes, but this program has too much pride to tank it the rest of the way. Plus, Virginia is pretty bad and there won't be much of a home advantage for a 4-6 team. Miami 24-10

TENNESSEE -7.5 @ Vandy
The Vols won't forget last year's upset, and Vandy is headed south losing 3 of 4. TENN 31-17

MARYLAND +8 @ B.C.
These teams are too evenly matched for such a big spread. BC 27-23

NOTRE DAME -28.5 vs Army
I've been playing the Irish all year with these big spreads against inferior teams, and this time it should work out. Army is pitiful. ND 45-7

BYU -26.5 vs New Mexcio
BYU is the only reason I'm in the green this year. They've won me about $2K this year. Betting against them is craziness. BYU 42-10

OKLAHOMA -20.5 @ Baylor
this 'home' game for Baylor will have more crimson in the crowd than green. Baylor has allowed 152 points in the last 3 games. I'm sticking this one in a 6-point pleaser w/ Notre Dame. Oklahoma 41-3

I'm not sure if I could play the Canes tomorrow bro. That team appears to have no direction at all, and looks like they might be just playing out the string.

[sweetpete57@]

I think the Canes win this one for Bryan Pata.
(Auburn line dropped to 2.5! woohoo! time to raie the bet)

Notre Dame at -28.5 seems like a steal. Like the Tenn. play too.

[TexansFan]

I disagree with your Auburn pick. Auburn has failed to cover 7straight as a favorite and are demoralized after that ass-whipping last week br Georgia. Brandon Cox is banged up, they have no passing attack.

Bottom line, Alabama +3

[sweetpete57@]

I agree, Auburn isn't the dangerous team that they were early in the season, I just think Alabama stinks.

[TexansFan]

I tell you, if Alabama doesn't makes those turnovers for Auburn's first 2 scores they win it. Auburn looked even worse than Alabama did. No wonder Georgia spanked them last week. Oh well, as it usually does, turnovers decide the outcome.

[onlooker]

Only one I had here was Auburn. I was glad Bama went for it on 4th and 16 late in the 4th.

[Razz]

Alabama is sooo much better than Auburn it isn't funny. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Auburn won
(<------------- Who's dumber, Dumbose or Shula?) but Alabama is better at every position besides head coach.

Shula doesn't help his cause here with these bad coaching moves. If this nitwit doesn't understand you don't chase points in the first half he shouldn't be coaching? What the freck was he doing going for 2 down 14-9 in the second quarter? He cost them 2 points when they failed the next time, and that decision also led to Auburn going for 2 later, so he cost his team 3 points.

I also thought Shula should have kicked the FG with 5:07 left. You need 2 scores to win anyways, so why not take the 3? If it was 4th and less than 10, I could see going for it, but 4th and 16? Bad move. I had +3, so it didn't matter but I thought he screwed up.

And if the fool had kicked the extra points, he could have kicked the FG with 5:07 and then would have needed just a FG to win.

Not to mention bringing a zero coverage blitz on 3rd and 15 when Brandon Cox can't throw the ball more than 15 yards downfield because his arm is in a penetrating sling.

Shula...geez...don't even know where to begin with that guy...
