steel crew

Steelers -7 is new pick. I predict we'll see one of the most lopsided and boring superbowls in history.

College special glob ball


Eagerly awaiting Lousiville @ Cuse, two of my least favorite teams imaginable.

Thursday's results were as follows...
  • Gtown -5 vs. WVU - Huggins keels over tonight.

  • UCLA -5 @ Wazzu - hate to bet this line. It's shrunk from -7 not sure what's up with that. Very confidence, unfortunately, in this pick.

  • Cal -18.5 vs. Beavers - Yes, Michelle Obama's Coach-of-the-Cavs-I-Dont-Know-the-name-of-Pilot-Whale-Headed Brother's team is that bad. And I've learned that a blowout line in Pac 10 sports isn't just attainable by the fave, it's the norm that they'll crush it. Cal by 32.
  • Stanford -10 vs. Oregon - jump on this before people realize that State of Oregon bball is basically the equivalent of State of Washington football this year.

  • UW -6 vs. USC - no clue.

  • Pepperdine +25 vs. Zags - no clue.
Makes for the year 1-6. Nice start!

and now...

  • Minny -7.5 @ Indi - Tom Crene vs. Tubby Smith
  • Cuse -1.5 vs. Lousville - hate Bay-hymen
  • Florida -2 @ Vandy
  • Pitt -2 @ WVU
  • Clemson -12 v. G Tech

Ah yes, the favorites parade... that's sure to work, especially since 3 are on the road. Glop.

College Nonsense


It's that time of year again - time to start betting on games I have no business betting on because I haven't watched enough college basketball. I held off as long as I could but after the Pitt-Cuse debacle, (since when do I EVER trust horrible Cuse and stupid Jim Bay-hymen), I have to at least try to start recouping my losses. I really wanted to bet UNC yesterday but didn't get around to it. Thanks though UNC for giving us yet another boring game. Every win has been convincing but the two losses weren't that close either; not sure what to make of that ham swill and hog farm bs.


So, 0-1... and now a Pac-10 Smorgus Board with bonus action.

Start to the glob of college ball


I love college basketball. To watch and to bet on it. Conference play finally starts to sizzle like the bacterial acne that scarred Gregg Popovich's face roasting on his skin. It's taken a while this season but I'll be starting it off with a fabulous matchup on ESPN's big monday. Sean McDonough, Billy Raftery and Jay Bilas bring you

  • Syracuse +9.5 @ Pitts. Pitts struggled a bit at a good Lousiville squad this weekend. I'm sure they'll want to get back up on their feet but Syracuse can keep it closer than this huge line.
A small preview of the rest of the weeks action yields Clemson @ UNC but only two other top 25 v top 25 games...

Last Line Til Beef Time September

It's sad that this marks the final line to be picked until next September. But that's what it is.
  • Cards +4 vs. Eagles
  • Ravens +6 @ Steelers
Makes 4-6 for the playoffs. I really thought Bmore was gonna hook me up too until that Palamalu touchdown pick-6 and the decapitation of Willis McGahee.... Alas... God I hate Pitts. I can't bet on em. And I won't. And for that reason, if nothing else, and, because I think it's a decent value...

Superbowl Pick = Cards +7.
