I could start off with the whole Penn State fiasco (I am), but just a couple of things. There is a whacked out contingency of people who are trying to compare the alleged activities witnessed at Penn St to a player getting some free t-shirts or their parents getting to live in a house for free. What????? Not even in the same stratosphere. I'm not going to elaborate, but do the words "wrong" or "deplorable" resonate with them? On with happier topics....
VT at GT-Supposedly this game is on right now but I have no idea what is happening. My husband has it on some horrible "sitcom", and he has the audacity to think I'm not funny? Puhlease. I noticed my neighbors put up their GT flag this week. That is a sure sign they will lose. The Hokey Pokey will turn themselves around. That's what it's all about. VT- 28 GT-21
UGA vs Auburn-UGA showed New Mexico St who was top dog while Auburn has been hot and cold since Sir Cam left. This game is in Athens and generally the visitor wins, I think? This is what we call fact checking. I just scanned my stellar memory that can't recall anyone's name, but I know the words to every obscure song one could imagine and came up with the visitor factoid. UGA hasn't beaten anyone decent (sorry, it's true) and Auburn is suspect. I know I'm not supposed to say this but I think Auburn wins. 28-24. Ick!
Miami at FSU- Remember when this game would have garnered a countdown clock on ESPN? Well they both joined the ACC. Miami beat Duke (yawn) and FSU hasn't exactly been consistent. I expect defense will not be present during roll call. This one is tough. The spirit of Bobby Bowden in a squeaker 38-35.
Oregon at Stanford- Duck vs Luck. The quack attack strolls into Palo Alto while Andrew Luck wonders if he should accept Peyton Manning's FB friend request. The prognosticators are drooling over this one! Stanford is undefeated while Oregon suffered an early loss to LSU. Oregon will try to ruffle the Cardinal feathers, but I think the team with the most Luck wins. Stanford 45-42. Again, I expect defense to be on vacation.
****Pro Picks****
NE at NYJ-It's the battle of the GQ QBs. The Patriots are coming off their first loss at home since ER was on the air. (I know that's not accurate) Not a fan of Rex Ryan but he clearly has a good dentist. Mark Sanchez is always good for a pick 6 so I look for the Pats to rebound in a close game. The Brady Bunch 24-20.
NO at Atlanta-Atlanta is coming off a victory over one of the worst teams I have ever seen, while NO should hang their head in shame for losing to the Rams a couple of weeks ago. This will be close, but expect the Falcons to rise up ( I hate that commercial) at the Dome. Falcons- 28 Saints-27
Jacksonville at Indy-Yo Gabbert Gabbert ! ESPN, if you want to use that I'm cool with it. I accept AMEX, VISA, and MC. This game should be painful. The Colts may be the worst team I have ever seen, and I just adore Peyton Manning. Romeo Void may say, "Never Say Never", but I don't see how the Colts can beat anyone. Jags-14 Colts 7.
Washington at Miami-Skins take on Fins. Sounds like the hibachi special doesn't it? The Dolphins got that elusive first "W" last week while I assume John Beck makes frequent visits to the pain specialist. Can the Dolphins carry their one game win streak to victory deaux? Why not? I know Jason Taylor is old in NFL years but I think he will meet Mr. Beck. Fins 17 Skins-14
Finally, NYG at SF. Elmer& the boys are coming off a big win over NE, while SF is winning, apparently without tiger's blood. SF thinks "Nothing Is Gonna Stop Us Now" in their division. Giants will be a little flat, so I think the 49ers get another "W". 49ers-17 Giants-14.
