I want to give a write-out to all the readers who gave me some love on the Clay Green headline, "The Real Cock Diesel."
I want to congratulate all the IM flag football champions for their victories in last week's playoffs.
I went 1-1-1 in my picks last week and I don't want to blame shift, but what happened to UCLA and Wisconsin.
Wisconsin gave their game away and UCLA got on the wrong bus because they definitely did not show up in Arizona. I improved to 16-8-1 after receiving my first push of the year in the Alabama game. Alabama has got some issues on offense since the loss of Tyrone Prothro but defense wins championships.
Upset Alert
The Georgia Bulldogs are favored by three and a half against the Auburn Tigers. The away team favors pretty well in this series and that is bad news for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs are coming off an off-week and appear to have DJ Shockley back healthy. Nobody but DJ and the Bulldogs know how effective he will be. The injury cost the Bulldogs against the Gators and an Auburn victory gives the Gators the tiebreaker edge in the SEC East race.
A lot is riding on the game for the Tigers as they try to keep up in SEC West race. I am going to go with the Tigers on the road to cover the spread. This is a lot of Auburn players' Alabama game as many of the Tigers come from Georgia.
Blowout Line
The Alabama LSU game can honestly go either way. The Tigers could come out and win 14-0 and the Crimson Tide could have something up their sleeve and blow-out LSU.
The third ranked team in the nation is a three point dog at home and nobody is giving the Tide a shot. Everyone would say they have a great defense but ask how will they score.
I am going with the Tide because of their defense and believe the Tigers willl definitely turn the ball over. Alabama 17- LSU 14.
Must see game
I am definitely going with the Northwestern Wildcats. I can remember rooting for the Wildcats a long time ago. The Wildcats are a sixteen point underdog against Ohio State. The Buckeyes have been up and down all season and still are in the hunt for the Big Ten title. Northwestern can score some points and I hope they keep it close for my record sake.
Jacksonville State
Samford is going to get blown-out of the state. I will be surprised if this game is not a mercy rule. You might say, "There is not a mercy rule in college football?"
Exactly, my point!
