There are three games on the college football slate this evening which means we have lots to gamble on. I only like two of the games this evening and here are my picks. Good luck!
Eastern Michigan +21
ECU +13.5
Overall Record:
College Football 31-19 (this year) 136-110-1 (overall)
NFL 21-11 (this year) 124-83-5 (overall)
MLB 90-69-5
College Basketball 197-149-6
NHL 1-2
NBA 44-36
Our latest poll is out and Boise State now joins the top 5. Oklahoma State and USC were the two big drops for the week and we continue to believe in TCU and Oregon. Thoughts?
Tonight’s Tuesday night college football matchup is between Bowling Green and Buffalo. These two teams like to score so I expect to see the scoreboard light up a lot this evening.
Bowling Green/Buffalo over 55
Overall Record:
College Football 30-19 (this year) 135-110-1 (overall)
NFL 21-11 (this year) 124-83-5 (overall)

College Basketball 197-149-6
NHL 1-2
NBA 44-36
The undefeated New Orleans Saints are hosting the Atlanta Falcons for a Monday Night Football battle and it’s also a divisional tilt. The Saints have been piling up points at a record pace and I don’t see that stopping tonight in front of a national TV audience.
Saints/Falcons over 55
Overall Record:
College Football 30-20 (this year) 135-111-1 (overall)
NFL 20-11 (this year) 123-83-5 (overall)
MLB 90-69-5
College Basketball 197-149-6
NHL 1-2
NBA 44-36
Everyone knows things can get dirty during a pileup in a football game, but most of the time those antics aren’t captured on tape. Well, check out this video of Florida Gators linebacker Brandon Spikes aggregiously gouging the eyes of Georgia Bulldogs running back Washaun Ealey during their game this past weekend. I think SEC officials should be looking at this tape very closely and possibly take some disciplinary action.
Update – The Gators have suspended Spikes for the first half of their next game against Vanderbilt. BIG DEAL!
It’s All Hallows Eve and we have a Big East Friday night tilt between West Virginia and South Florida. South Florida has been struggling a bit recently and I expect to see that trend continue tonight.
West Virginia -3
Overall Record:
College Football 30-19 (this year) 135-110-1 (overall)
NFL 20-11 (this year) 123-83-5 (overall)
MLB 90-69-5
College Basketball 197-149-6
NHL 1-2
NBA 44-36
The Tarheels roll into Blacksburg this evening which means trouble is at the foot of Circle K. The Tarheels offense is stagnant generally and the Hokies have one heck of a D. I think this game is going way under!
Heels/Hokies under 43.5
Overall Record:
College Football 29-19 (this year) 134-110-1 (overall)
NFL 20-11 (this year) 123-83-5 (overall)
MLB 90-69-5
College Basketball 197-149-6
NHL 1-2

Sorry, but you asked for it Mr. Snyder.
Snyder has single handedly destroyed a storied program. I am a die hard Redskins fan for 35 years but you know what….Snyder needs to go. Unfortunately he can’t be fired.
The legions of dedicated ‘Skins fans had already started calling for his head but after the horrific show on Monday Night Football, Snyder better hire extra security and ask President Obama for the keys to Air Force One so he can make a quick getaway when the mobs come a knocking.
And now in his infinite wisdom Snyder had security take, destroy, confiscate any and all posters/banners that were in or coming in to FedEx Field. According to USAToday.com:
“Scores of angry fans took to Twitter, blogs, e-mails and message boards on Tuesday to assail Snyder and protest what they considered unfair and repressive tactics by security at FedEx Field to prevent criticism of the team owner.”
The policy concerning Banners read as follows about a month ago (according to Dan Steinberg at the www.washingtonpost.com):
“Banners:
Banners are permitted at FedEx Field; however, Guests may not display banners that advertise or mention products or services. Banners may not cover existing FedEx Field equipment or signage. Signs may not be made with metal or wood. Management reserves the right to remove any sign, including those deemed to be obscene, inappropriate or which obstructs the view of other Guests. For the safety of all Guests, banner poles are not permitted.”
But now reads:
“Banners:
Banners of any size are not permitted at FedEx Field.”
This sign was brought into the game Monday:
“Five security guards came down at halftime looking for [it],” Jennifer, the sign’s creator, e-mailed Dan Steinberg on Tuesday. “Everyone in the section played dumb, including the ticket guy for our section.”
Give me a break Snyder!
No one has to agree with your methods of running the team (G57…BINGO!!!) or how much money you spend trying to win a Super Bowl with players that should be collecting social security (Come on in Bruce Smith).
But this is simply crazy. You want to squash the first amendment in “your” stadium which puts you on the same playing field as Kim Jong Il. And in our nation’s capital nonetheless.
And one last thing…you may own this team…but without your fan base you have nothing.
-One Pissed off Fan!!!!
Check out this video describing an incident that reverently occurred at a Western New York Cougars semi-pro football game. A player took his helmet and literally struck referee Pete McCabe in the head and broke multiple bones and detached his nose after the game concluded. This story is disgraceful and I hope Leon Woods a 23-year-old from Rochester serves some serious time for this disgraceful act. It’s a semi-professional football game for Pete’s sake!
Our latest college football poll is out and we have some thoughts that differentiate from the national polls. We feel Texas is better than Alabama, TCU is a top five team, Georgia Tech is the seventh best team and Cincinnati is highly overrated. These are just a few of our thoughts so chekc out our latest poll.
