Crimson Red Sports

Any suggestions for games this week?  I plan to get these posted much earlier this week.

Bama vs. Ole Miss

Some suggestions:


Baylor/West Virginia
Tennessee/Georgia
Ohio State/Michigan State
Texas/Oklahoma State
Arkansas/Texas A&M
Tide/Ole Miss
Wisconsin/Nebraska
Oregon State/Arizona
Texas Tech/Iowa State
Clemson/BC


There are some slim pickins this week.


 :facepalm:

I think I already know what is going to happen in those games.

The point spread will make some of the games interesting, from picking the "winner" aspect. That's what messed so many of us up this past week.


 :duh:

Pickins are slim this week.  MD has some good games.

Only two of those might be reconsidered, Oregon State v. Arizona and Texas Tech v. Iowa State.

Three other possible games to substitute are:

Troy v. South Alabama
Virginia Tech v. Cincinatti
Oregon v. Washington State

I prefer (Oregon v.  WSU) over  (Oregon State v. Arizona) in the PAC12 because we did both of the latter teams last week (Arizona State was boringly shutout), and Oregon is higher ranked and potentially more relevant to Bama.

I think Virginia Tech v. Cincinati sounds more interesting than Texas Tech v. Iowa State, and it gives us a Big East team.  Or, I just threw Troy v. South Alabama out there as an Alabama game, instead of a lower tier Big12 game.  (Is there a line on it?)

Oh, Louisville v. Southern Miss also is interesting.  Might be a better game than the Troy game.

Southern Miss is 0-3 and has been blown out twice and lost 24-14 to mighty East Carolina. Washington State is somewhat competitive, Troy & South Alabama would be a snoozer, and Cincinnati/Va Tech could be interesting.


 :popcorn2:

Ouch, So. Miss. not the same without Larry Fedora.  Well scratch that. 

So your vote is: (?)

Baylor/West Virginia
Tennessee/Georgia
Ohio State/Michigan State
Texas/Oklahoma State
Arkansas/Texas A&M
Tide/Ole Miss
Wisconsin/Nebraska
Oregon/Washington State
Cincinati/Virginia Tech
Clemson/Boston College

I can see dropping Texas Tech/Iowa State for Cincinnati/Va. Tech and can go either way with Oregon or Oregon State games. I chose Tech & Iowa State since Tuberville used to coach Rhoads of Iowa St. I originally was going to recommend S. Miss/Louisville, but I checked S. Miss record this year and saw what a disaster it was. Fedora left a huge hole to fill.


 :dog:

Week 5 games are posted.

How much input did you and WALL-E have on this?


 :tinfoil:

Michigan State favored over Ohio State?



 :think:

:lol:

0

We are just the servants who do your bidding MD.

Yep, I just verified it again.  I was a little surprised by that too.

Aggies nearly a two touchdown favorite over Arky, and it might be a good bet.

MSU was everyone's preseason pick to win the Big 10. As if anyone cares.

LOL!! That was cold-blooded.


 :lol2:

Jim Delaney is optimistic that the Big Ten is going to get a win out if this one.

Don't forget to enter your picks.  Less than 48 hours until the first game kicks off.

For those of you who think you don't have a chance to win, you will never know unless you try.  Everyone who plays will get at least 10 e-creds.  Just finishing above the bottom 10 will get you more than that.

I see WALL-E has been doing a good job keeping the scores posted and updating the leader board while I was out today.

I listened to guys all week saying Cincy over Va. Tech.  >:(

If UGA had any defense I would be 6-0 right now.  >:(

If they keep that up we need to extradite both them and UT to the Big 12.

They wouldn't take them. Mike Gundy called and said he was embarrassed by the way these two played defense.

Congrats UK! You have your sole lead over an SEC program for the year. 3-0

My picks are just awful. I will not pick Arky again. What was I thinking. I think my 2 drops have already happened. I am in trouble.

10-7 UK, and now a blocked punt and the Cats have it at the USCe 21.  :o

That is pretty bad.  They have already given up 2 TDs to Texas in about half a quarter.

Towson leading the Who 9-7.  :o :o   

Wisconsin 14 Nebraska 3 in first qtr.



 ???

???

I did not expect that.

WVU and VT constantly disappoint. Why on earth did i waste two picks on them?!?

Look at Ricky sitting on top of the leader board with only 2 games to go.

the voice kept saying "don't give them 31 points" and I almost
listened , twice  :lol2:

I have to pick Bama no matter what.  If I don't pick Bama and I get it right, I certainly am not happy about it.  So it does me no good to pick against them.

yep , I'm picking no matter the spread
we just didn't come out of the locker room for he 2nd half ...
or 31 would have been like a half a sammitch   :lol2:

congrats to Ricky and Bandit on the top spot this late in the day
good job guys !

I think they have it wrapped up.  Everybody at the top picked Oregon, so Ricky will stay on top regardless of how this last game turns out.

Last week I started out 1-3 and ended up winning.  This week I started out 4-0 then 5-1 and I won't even make the leader board.

You never know how this thing is going to turn out.

I think I might be able to get to 5th if this last game goes my way.  So, go ducks or something!

the quaxks are fixing to hand #4 for the day

the little quack quack bee itches  :lol2:

I think Oregon is going to cover.  One more quarter to go.

Oregon just scored and has now covered the spread.

The announcers at the Oregon game just said this about Washington State:

"You know what you don't see over there on their sideline?  You don't see any Cam Newton towels over heads."

:lol: :lol: :rofl:

Washington State just scored and now Oregon has not covered the spread.  4:13 to go.

RTR to Preacher!   #+

Hey ricky, Congratulations!  I noticed we had a lot of the same picks this week, but went with it anyway, and we finally got it right!   #+

YEP !  ya'll did good !  congrats to you all  , great job on a tough weekend !

Good job Preacher Ricky.  #+

I have hit rock bottom. Two right this week. Maybe I will go the opposite of my gut feeling next week. What I am doing isn't working. LOL

Well done, Bro. Ricky! Congratulations!  #+

Atta boy, Ricky.

I noticed that too.  It looked like the top 3 guys were playing Price is Right with the tie breaker question.  :lol:

Wel I thank all of you. This proves one thing, even a blind hog feeds an acorn ever now and then. Congrats to CatchProthro and Bandit. Shoot I actually was trying to pick the perfect board but no way could I pick against Alabama even thinking that was to many points. 31 is a lot for anybody. Hope you all win it next week. RTR!

Good job, brother ricky!

Good job Preacher.

Congrats to all of the winners this week, especially Brother Rick. :clap:

I'm proud of you, Preacher!  #+

It tickles me to see Ricky's name up on the #1 spot.  Way to go, preacher.  I believe that hog must be still seeing a little out of one eye from time to time.

You guys are Super i tell ya. Hey cbbama, looks like the Orioles may even win the East. Bucky has got that team turned around. I thought he would. RTR!

I hope so, ricky. This town is going to go crazy if the Birds can pull it off. Buck has done an amazing job with this team. I think he is AL Manager of the Year, easily.

Congrats Ricky and Prothro! I saw all of our tie breakers were close and I was hoping we would rack up some 2nd half yards since I had the highest. Oh well, the way my year has started 3rd is pretty good.

Hey congrats Bandit. Being 3rd is sure better where I have been. lol, but next week we try it all over again and then we will show up. RTR!
