    Huck's 2013 NFL/NCAA Picks

    I know, you pals have never fukkin heard of me. Just gonna try to do some write-ups, win some games here and there, keep an honest record, and ignore trolls. If I do well, follow. If I suck, fade. No locks in this thread - no such thing. Won't promise any of these win.

    Gonna play a 1-5* system. 1* = 1 unit, 5* = 5 units. Easy enough. You won't see many 5* bets.

    Pick 1: Clemson (-13.5) @ NC State -- 3* - Clemson travels to NC State tonight to play a Wolfpack team that has given them problems the last few years. I think tonight will be different though. Over the last 2 years Clemson has finally proved it can win the big game (LSU, Georgia most recently). The Georgia win at the beginning of this year should have really lit a fire under them. They fully believe they can get to the NC Game and know they must go undefeated to do so. Not only must they go undefeated, but they know they must win big or they will lose out to the final bid to Oregon (assuming both go undefeated).
    Clemson lost their #2 WR but I'm not too worried about it here. Boyd and Watkins will provide enough problems for NC State. Also, keep in mind Clemson's top rusher McDowell is averaging over 5 yards a carry. TOUGH matchup for NC State on D.
    NC State's offense worries me as well. Their leading receiver/rusher are both TRUE freshman and I just don't think they handle the spotlight very well here. Doesn't help that they have backup QB Pete Thomas playing and he has yet to throw for a TD. Overall, NC State very young and will be outmatched here tonight against a Clemson team that SHOULD be out to prove themselves on the big stage. I like Clemson by 20+.


    Pick 2: Chiefs (+3) @ Eagles -- 1* - I would not be shocked to lose this but I'm willing to put a unit on the Chiefs here. Short week will be tough for them to prepare for the Eagles O but SD played the Eagles on a short week and pulled off the W so not too far fetched. This Chiefs D will be the best D the Eagles have played so far (4 probowlers last year) and I think it will show a bit tonight. Vick should be pressured quite a bit tonight and I'm interested to see if he can make it through the game without getting hurt. Even if he stays healthy, the question I have in this game is can the Eagles D stop the Chiefs O. I am thinking no. The Chiefs finally have a QB that can make a few throws and not turn the ball over every other possession. Also, they have a guy named Jamaal Charles who can be a nightmare to play against. I think both O's get theirs and this game comes down to who's D can make an important stop. I like the Chiefs D in that one. I like the Chiefs to win by 2.


    Feel free to share your thoughts on the games, what side you're on, and what you'll be drinking during the games. Me? Prob just Jack on the rocks tonight.

    Can't fool me... I know who you are... you just been gone for a while.

    Like your Chiefs... especially since you can get points plus + money on odds.

    Finally gave in to my fear of significant RLM and played NC State +14/-120.

    As for me... pack of Marlboro Menthol 100's with a pot of coffee and glass of iced tea on tha rocks!

    Good luck to ya kiddo...

    I already have lived longer than I expected (or should have), so I believe in enjoying the real thing.

    The only concession I've made after building a new home, was to not smoke in the house. So, I go out on the patio and watch the game on my big-screen from there (so what if the neighbors hear me *mother-fukking* or *catch the mother-fukker* or whatever, right?).

    Not a bad start. Was actually worried, lots of times underdogs come out really hyped and can steal a big play or two

    good call - I never bet the Razorbacks for that reason. If they win, I just wanna enjoy it. Like the picks - esp the North Texas pick. I'm afraid to touch USC, too inconsistent as of late for me. Like Minny, and Miami (Atl has trouble with physical teams/not in domes). Tampa just worried about the drama with Freeman, I think they have the talent to keep it close.

    Good luck Huck. I just have under 61.5, took it live with about 6 left in 1st quarter.

    Really torn on the NFL, but has to be Chiefs or pass, just seems unpredictable. Probably live bet that one too.,

    Boyd not stepping into his throws, throwing off his back foot. worried about the pass rush.

    Will share my limited knowledge when I have some. No real strong opinion on the Thursday Night NFL game. Played an under 5 sacks prop for some action. Gun to my head, I prob take the points with KC. I think we see a heavy dose of Jamaal Charles.

    agreed, their KC best D may be their O. If Charles can run it well, run the clock, and keep Eagles O off the field - it will help big time.
