I think they're tied as of this past Saturday. So unless we've suddenly changed our colors to blue maize and gold, I think he'll pull it out.


Fixed that for you Scout.

I'm pulling for Jo Pa as well since he's shown more true class than Bowden could ever manage.

As for that offense, the monkey and the football, we haven't seen Weiss' offering this year so perhaps there is some hope for UM - except of course on Sept 13th.

Holy crap are the picks tougher this week. Not too many gimme games this time. Only a couple without point spread.

I didn't realize until I started doing some research just how much Michigan sucks this year.

8th worst offense in terms of yardage last week for all of Division 1. Ouch.
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

So they'll get their biggest victory and their worst ass-whuppin in the last two weeks of the season - sweet.
At least their turkey will taste good after they Crush the Orange

Ohio State look awful against Ohio. Michigan doesn't even look that good against Miami (OH).

Wisconsin behind early against Marshall.

What a power conference!! Evil grin

I picked Wisc and Ohio, so 50/50 with the "powerhouses." Looks like Ohio St isn't having the only Big Ten team struggling against visiting Ohio teams.

Brilliant. Ohio St PK hooked the PAT.

You picked Ohio? Away?

Nice call. I'd love to hear the logic. I picked both OSU and Wisconsin but fortunately I've only got 4 confidence points on the OSU call.

Easy. 34 point spread + MAC conference opponent = tough pt spread to cover. I *almost* picked for the same reason.

Only 2 confidence points on the OSU-Ohio call, though.

I should have known better than to pick tOSU in that game with that spread - figured a top 10 team could put up points better than that. DAMN - 12 pts down the tubes

I picked ECU against WVU.

2 damn confidence points. No guts.

Makes the ACC look like they suck a little less.

Thank you Florida for kicking a meaningless FG in order to cover the spread. You think Urban Meyer had a little money riding on the game? Wink
