My dear wife, Carrie, and I will be at The Joan tomorrow. That is the Joan C. Edwards Stadium on the campus of Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia to watch the Marshall Thundering Herd take on the Western Kentucky. Kickoff is 6:30 PM and it is going to be chilly. We are ready. I indicated in another post, I think, that Carrie and I have yet to witness a college football game in person this year. It is time.
It is also time for this week’s picks. Last week we had eight winners and 4 losers. I thought it was going to be worse. Iowa, I went crazy last week and picked against the Hawkeyes and they handed Ohio State their rears. Look for that again this week. I know it it is not in Iowa City with that big water tower in sight. Still, Swissconsin has not played anyone tough and they are whining because they aren’t getting the props they deserve and all of that will close shop after the Hawkeyes come calling to Madison and put the cheese stopper in the Badger end zone drain.
The picks:
LSU beats Arkansas…It is a shame they don’t play this one on the Friday after Thanksgiving like they once did.
Duke beats Army…Duke won 4 then lost the next five. Three of them by 7 seven points. They stop Army this week.
Ole Miss beats UL Lafayette…Big catch against UK won’t stop the Rebs now.
NC State beats Boston College….Ini what might be the best game of the day.
Iowa beats Swissconsin…and I can’t wait!
Clemson beats Florida State…everyone else has.
Georgia bets Auburn…We need Silver Britches to pull through and hopefully they and Bama will meet…both undefeated…in Atlanta for the real national championship.
Virginia beats Louisville…U of L is feeling the ripple effects of a fallen athletic program. That and UVA is not all that bad.
Kentucky beats Vandy…The Cats need this one after the heart ache the Rebs caused.
Marshall beats WKU…This should be a good one.
Indiana beats Illinois…Where is the Galloping Ghost when Illinois needs him?
Miami beats Notre Dame… and look out from here. The wind will be blowing.
Bonus game: Purdue beats Northwestern…a 7 PM kickoff at Ryan Field in November? Television is not always a good thing.
Have a great weekend everyone!
