Good afternoon everyone. Recently the blog hits have spiked here on 'Bikini Hill', and to the casual observer, there would be several possible explanations. In the past few weeks, I have been posting more frequently, I have covered the WSOP, I have done movie reviews, we have touched on ghost hunting, mistaken identity (of a WHOLE HOUSE), and local elected officials have woven intricate plots to make my life miserable... Of course WE KNOW that the REAL REASON for the increased traffic here is that the "wise guys" in Las Vegas are aware that I have gone 27-13 picking football games against the spread over the past 4 weeks... ;) I went 8-2 last week for my best week yet, missing only on the Baylor/Oklahoma over (over 77 - actual 76), and whiffing on Chicago (-1) vs. Houston (actual Houston by 7). I am now sitting at 54-48-2 overall for the season heading into this weekend. And now for this weekend's picks...
Texas State/Navy (over 57) - My alma mater is the new Mike Leach in overs...
BYU/San Jose State (over 47 1/2) - Weather should be good in Cali...
Iowa State/Kansas (under 48) - UT and KU had recent defesive showdown at Kansas...
Air Force (-22) vs. Hawaii - Away from the island, in much colder Colorado...
Nevada (-10) @ New Mexico - Wolfpack hasn't dropped that far, have they?...
Baltimore/Pittsburgh (over 40) - So many injuries here that this should be covered...
Dallas (-7 1/2) vs. Cleveland - The Cowboys have been looking much better...
Indianapolis/New England (under 54) - I think that this will be one-sided, and...
New England (-9) vs. Indianapolis - ... the Patriots are at home...
San Diego/Denver (under 48) - In Colorado, big divisional game, should be played tight...
By the way, the Texas State/Navy game is going to be broadcast on the CBS Sports Network at 2:30 p.m. CST if any of you are interested in watching my alma mater play some football against the Naval Academy... Have a great weekend and I'll see you again on Monday!
Speaking of Mike Leach, it sounds like he might be up to is old tricks up at Wazoo. One of his star receivers has apparently walked off the team because of what he described as abusive behavior by the coaching staff. Maybe Craig James' kid wasn't so crazy after all when he got Leach fired from Tech.
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, that has to be a very difficult position to play for Leach with the emphasis on his passing offense...

ReplyDeleteIt might have been different if Cutler hadn't been knocked out of the game.
Yeah, the Bears were probably in on the conspiracy to screw me over also... ;)
