Sugar, We're Going Down

"We're going down, down, in an earlier round, and Sugar, we're going down swinging..."
-Fall Out Boy- (Sugar We're Going Down)


Good morning everyone.  Above is an example of where I can hijack song lyrics to suit my own needs.  Now that my record picking football games against the spread is back to the .500 mark on the season at 46-46-2, I could just be satisfied to call it even and ride off into the sunset...  Yeah, that's unlikely...  Below are my football predictions for this weekend:


Baylor @ Oklahoma (Over 77) - The Bears have been in track meets against the better teams...
Nebraska (- 8) vs. Penn State - Tough road game for the Nittany Lions...
Texas A&M @ Alabama (Under 57) - Hard to envision a lot of scoring in this one...
Louisiana Tech @ Texas State (Over 71 1/2) - This game could go on for a while...
LSU (- 14) vs. Mississippi State - A&M covered this spread in Starkville last Saturday...
UCLA @ Washington State (Over 60 1/2) - Leach's Cougars, what can I say???...

Kansas City @ Pittsburgh (Under 42 1/2) -  Was a really low-scoring game in K.C. last year...
Baltimore (- 7 1/2) vs. Oakland - Have to like this one in Baltimore...
Chicago (-1) vs. Houston - Have to like this one in Chicago...
New York Giants @ Cincinnati (Under 48 1/2) - Feels like 21-17, right?  (Even 24-21)...  ;)

I hope that you have a good one and I'll see you again tomorrow...

  1. I could see KC getting rocked. If you look for this year there is ONE game all year that went under 42! ONE GAME! The Steelers O is good enough to put up a lot of points here. I think your only chance is if their D shuts out KC totally.

    1. Waffles - remember that Pittsburgh is not like New England - we play DOWN to our opponents and allow teams like Oakland to beat us.

      The KC game will probably be very sad and competitive because of that.
