At first glance, this looks like another horrific week. I’m hoping that it is not as bad as I think, but I have this sinking feeling that I am on the wrong side of .500 again.

In case you missed any of the picks:
The winners against the spread will be in BOLD.
Virginia Tech(-1.5) at Pittsburgh: MISS! Missing a lock is always a bad omen….
Utah(-2.5) at Oregon State: HIT! It took two overtimes, but the Utes pulled it out.
Fresno State at Boise State(-16.5):MISS! Ugh. I knew better!
Temple at Houston(-7.5): HIT! This offense is humming along with Greg Ward at the helm.
Kansas State at Oklahoma(-7.5): HIT! As much as I hate to admit it, the Sooners have been overrated all season.
South Florida(-1.5) at Tulsa: HIT! The Bulls had me sweating this at the half.
Tulane at Central Florida(-19.5): MISS! I even picked this would happen! Why don’t I listen to myself more often?
Syracuse(-5.5) at Wake Forest: HIT! Easy money, folks.
Baylor(-8.5) at West Virginia: MISS! The Mountaineers have been flying under the radar for most of the year. Now people will notice!
Iowa at Maryland(-4.5): HIT! Iowa kept it closer than I thought they would, but not close enough.
Purdue at Minnesota(-13.5): MISS! Purdue has come a long way since the first two games.
Western Kentucky(-4.5) at Florida Atlantic: MISS! I let the Owls getting punished by FIU cloud my judgment.
UTSA at Louisiana Tech(-11.5): HIT! The Bulldogs’ defense is holding them back.
Virginia at Duke(-2.5): HIT! Miami is better than people think. Duke is just as good as last year.
Akron(-3.5) at Ohio: MISS! That Pitt win was a fluke!
Western Michigan at Bowling Green(-2.5): MISS! So much for “confidence”.
Eastern Michigan at Massachusetts(-14.5): MISS! I need to quit picking against UMass.
Appalachian State at Troy(-6.5): MISS! Well, it’s not often you see a touchdown favorite lose by 38…..at home!
Texas A&M at Alabama(-13.5): MISS! The Tide will be a dangerous team if they get into the playoff.
UCLA(-7.5) at California: MISS! The Bruin defense is every bit as bad as Cal’s.
New Mexico at Air Force(-9.5): MISS! Here were go again…..
Army(-3.5) at Kent State: MISS! I should have known better considering Army lost to Yale….
Ball State at Central Michigan(-8.5): MISS! The schizophrenic Cardinals strike again…..
Rutgers at Ohio State(-21.5): MISS! I should know better than to pick against the Buckeyes lately.
UAB at Middle Tennessee State: MISS! So much for the UAB offense.
North Carolina State at Louisville(-17.5): MISS! This game was never close, but the Cardinals still couldn’t cover.
Cincinnati(-13.5) at SMU: MISS! I let their performance against ECU give me faith that I otherwise wouldn’t have had.
Clemson(-4.5) at Boston College: MISS! Damn halves! I needed this!
Michigan State(-16.5) at Indiana: HIT! Finally!
Kansas at Texas Tech(-13.5): HIT! The half worked out my way this time.
Oklahoma State at TCU(-10.5): MISS! I’m glad that the misses only count as one, no matter how bad I miss….
Georgia(-3.5) vs. Arkansas at Little Rock: MISS! The Bulldogs look like by far the best team in the SEC East right now.
San Jose State(-2.5) at Wyoming: MISS! Well, at least they took it to overtime….
New Mexico State at Idaho(-4.5): MISS! Yep, the Aggies are that bad…..
Miami(OH) at Northern Illinois(-13.5): MISS! Nice defense, Huskies…..
Marshall(-22.5) at Florida International: MISS! Yes, the Herd are that much better than the rest of CUSA…..
Colorado at USC(-20.5): HIT! It was Kessler, not Allen, that fueled this blowout.
Tennessee at Mississippi(-16.5): HIT! The magical season keeps rolling on.
Missouri at Florida(-5.5): MISS! The Florida D did a great job. The offense and special teams blew this one.
Southern Mississippi at North Texas(-9.5): MISS! Yeah, why not? It’s been that kind of week.
Utah State at Colorado State(-5.5): MISS! I didn’t expect a low scoring game here.
Georgia Tech(-1.5) at North Carolina: MISS! Well, I guess the Heels were bound to break through at some point.
Nebraska(-6.5) at Northwesetern: HIT! The Nebraska offense looks pretty good right now.
Kentucky at LSU(-10.5): MISS! Where did that come from??
Georgia State at South Alabama(-19.5): MISS! Mediocre team + big spread = poor results.
Washington at Oregon(-20.5): MISS! I knew better, especially considering that Washington has only lost by less than 20 points once in the last 11 years…..
Iowa State at Texas(-12.5): MISS! Nice defense for you too, Texas.
Notre Dame at Florida State(-10.5): HIT! My straight up prediction almost came through as well.
Nevada at BYU(-10.5): HIT! The Cougars could have covered if not for the defensive hiatus in the fourth quarter.
Hawaii at San Diego State(-7.5): HIT! The Warriors wish they could play every game on the islands….
Stanford(-3.5) at Arizona State: MISS! It’s time for me to realize that Stanford’s offense will keep them from covering a lot of these….
Arkansas State(-3.5) at Louisiana-Lafayette: MISS! The Cajuns literally ran off with this one….
For the second time this season, I have set a new record worst. The afternoon games were particularly hard on me. I finished the day at 16-36, including a disappointing 1-3 on lock picks. That puts me at a pretty awful 167-225 on the season. Now there really is nowhere to go but up….
