This week was brutal with teams that looked like they locked it up only to lose or not cover in the last few minutes

I don't follow anything except Boise State Football...and although we have won all games we are still 5th, but I think we can take the whole season

and maybe play a good bowl game.

TonyP · 10-03-11, 04:41 PM

Red River shootout this week, OU favored this year. who ever wins band gets to march in the Texas State Fair lol

mikemca · 10-06-11, 12:15 PM

Penn State Nittany Lions -3.5
Jacksonville Jaguars -2.5
Chicago Bears +5

TonyP · 10-06-11, 02:09 PM

The OU/Texas game is on pay per view and Remington Park is going to broadcast it on the 50 footer and other tv's throughout the park.

zebra58 · 10-06-11, 07:14 PM

do you like oklahoma t lol, i could go w/them

are we still playing the same 3? no players giving input on games here, maybe we should each just play the games we like

TonyP · 10-06-11, 07:42 PM

waiting till Saturday morning or so to post who I like.

runner5k · 10-06-11, 09:45 PM

I like the Bears so far but nothing else strikes me yet. I also prefer to wait till closer to gameday and if a game i liked at the beginning of the week moves against me I dont mind not playing it

mikemca · 10-07-11, 10:28 AM

We should go 15-0

Rio DiNero · 10-08-11, 07:46 AM

NCAA: Penn St, Rutgers, So. Miss, N. Tex, and ***Missouri***

NFL: Min, Hou, Car, Jac, and Det

zebra58 · 10-08-11, 08:43 AM

Let me know, I'll be around all day today. I would not advise a play on da Bears. Lions have a huge mismatch with their d-line against Chicago's o-line, not to mention Det is in a revenge spot having lost 6 straight to Chi.

zebra58 · 10-08-11, 09:07 AM

rio looks like one player already entered a pick on the bears, i guess we each pic our own 3 this week unless team captain chimes in soon

runner5k · 10-08-11, 10:14 AM

I think Penn STate is a good all pick! Seems we are at odds on bears but I thought the line should have been higher like 7 so the 5 makes me like the bears. I also think Lions are lucky to be 4-0 and everyone is huge on them but they were given to gifts and the only win of theirs I like is the Tampa bay win. I'd take the points. I also like Texas plus the points vs OU and Missouri as a favorite on the road against a ranked team.

mikemca · 10-08-11, 10:25 AM

I agree already took Penn State and Bears.Think Rio is right about the D-line advantage but that is pass protection.I think the Bears win the game running and the O-line is much better run blocking and Detroits D-line weakness is the run.Also agree with runner that the Lions are overrated from beating the Chiefs and Dallas,Minnesota gave away the games to them.Meanwhile the Bears have had to play Atlanta,Green Bay,and New Orleans.Three of the best teams in the league.

Bears/Penn State

zebra58 · 10-08-11, 10:25 AM

o.k will enter pen.st & go 2 solo

mikemca · 10-08-11, 10:28 AM

For the 3rd I keep flip flopping between Jacksonville and Indianapolis .I think the Colts are a much better team than the Chiefs and are hungry for a win.Also think the Jags win an ugly low scoring game like 13-7

runner5k · 10-08-11, 10:32 AM

I think another joint pick can be Jacksonville -2 tomorrow

zebra58 · 10-08-11, 10:42 AM

i already entered 3 after your post

ncaa
penn.st -4.5
miss.st -20
arizona-2

TonyP · 10-08-11, 10:48 AM

this is what I have this week
Oklahoma -11 just because this is my team and they going to curb kick Texas
Indiana +14
Pen State -4.5

runner5k · 10-08-11, 12:22 PM

OU looking good!

dont think Stoops will let up remember the Boise State game the trick play that beat OU in the Fiesta Bowl.

zebra58 · 10-08-11, 06:40 PM

nice call w/okla, i went 1-2 thanks to our team play

TonyP · 10-08-11, 07:30 PM

went 2-1 this week

runner5k · 10-08-11, 08:00 PM

Sadly I think Rio missed the team play so we are sitting at 5-3 right now

mikemca · 10-09-11, 06:06 AM

I'm 1-0 so far..Finished 8-4 on the day with P St my BB.

mikemca · 10-09-11, 06:23 AM

Have to admit though wish I would've waited and went with the Colts instead of the Jags.Looks like a ton of money came in on the Bengals.

Rio DiNero · 10-09-11, 08:53 AM

Went 2-1

zebra58 · 10-09-11, 11:24 AM

Rio I just checked under the team handicapping picks and your listed as 0-0 with o pending picks so maybe they didnt go through!

You are right, IDK how that happened! Now there are only two bets left. Sorry about that, wish I would have seen your post earlier.
