Hey guys I don't want anyone to even consider following my picks, but by the same token I don't deserve to be faded just yet either. Have not posted regular weekly picks in any forum for more than 5 years. So we will see how I do. This week at least, I will put the couple of NFL picks on the same card for the sake of expediency.

Picks will be 2 star [2 units] and 1 star [1 unit]. So here we go. This for me becomes week 1. I will keep this going as I'm not going to be blowing any loud victory horns if I do well nor will I run and hide if I don't.

** Bama -12
** Oklahoma State -13.5
** Vandy +9.5
** Georgia Tech/ Kansas U49.5
** South Carolina -3
* Miss St +1
* Iowa -13.5
* So. Florida +15.5
* Wash -13.5

3 Nfl picks

* Pack -3 [buy half point to 2.5] -130
* Ravens +2.5 [buy half point to 3] -130
* K.C. +4.5

That's it. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks.

Memphis absolutely quit on themselves last week. It was a horseshit exhibition...most terrible in 2nd half. East Carolina has very little returning. But I would think Holtz left some semblance of order there.

So I will add East Carolina -13.5 1*. Don't like how many 2 TD favs that gives me. But I got to play against any program that totally quits in week one and goes back on the road in week 2.
