WEEK 8 NCAA FOOTBALL PICKS
Miami was able to prove they are still the most ghetto team they just don’t win anymore so it’s less charming. But how can I say anything bad Jerry Springer gets great ratings too. The only thing funnier than the fight was the commentary by former Canes wide receiver and current PHD candidate Lamar “I’m not as big a bust as some of the other Miami receivers” Thomas. Thank god they fight otherwise they'd be unwatchable.
Oregon Duck officiating don’t leave home without it.
Florida choked a week later than expected.
USC ain’t going undefeated; they actually look bad enough where UCLA might give them a game, now that’s sad.
Georgia fans should be given their money back; it usually takes 8-9 games before they go belly up.
Rutgers in the top 25? Time to start building a bomb shelter, nuclear war can’t be too far behind.
FREE PICKS:
West Virginia -22 @ UCONN
The Mountaineers get psyched about their first D-1 opponent, and yes Uconn is technically D-1, I looked it up.
Miami -17 ½ @ Duke
The Canes versus Duke’s lacrosse team now that’s a game, it’s damn near gladiatorial. Quick question for anyone who knows; do you graduate from the University of Miami or just get paroled?
UCLA +14 @ Notre Dame
They can’t win this game but they can keep it close. UCLA coach Karl Dorell loves a respectable loss, and a morale victory. I’m sure UCLA fans love that trait.
Alabama @ Tennessee -11
Bama is fine as long they are at home and don’t play anybody ….uhhh-ohhhh.
Stanford @ ASU -22 ½
Stanford just lost their starting QB for the year, that’s kind of like a car with no engine getting a flat tire.
Oregon -3 ½ @ Washington State
The Ducks will have to overcome neutral refs and replay officials this week. Truly a stern test for the worst dressed team in the country.
Colorado @ Oklahoma -13 ½
Even without AP this should be a drubbing. At least with the rapes, bribes, and general thuggery CU was interesting to read about, now it’s just bad football in a pretty place. At least the fans get to ski a lot.
Oregon State @ Arizona +2
There may be a point where I get tired of making fun Matt “I never met a turnover I didn’t like” Moore, but that is still quite a ways in the future. Seriously even Stoops can blow this one.
UTEP +6 @ Houston
I refuse to waste time finding out enough of about this match up to make fun of either team. I wish them both the best of luck
South Florida @ Cincinnati -1 ½
The Bearcats finally get to play someone who has a payroll closer to theirs.
