    OK TE ... I mean Sneaky ... here's what I think.

    Oregon +27 ... OKLA WILL ROLL UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE ... SURE LOSS HERE

    Michigan State +3 ... Man, I lost my azz betting against ND ... I like your guts ... go for it

    Iowa +1.5 ... not looking at this game ... I dunno, can't help here

    Ohio State -2.5 ... I'm tempted, but I would "Lay Off" this game ... I think NC wins straight up here because of their offense and OSU lack thereof ...

    Clemson -1.5 at Texas A & M ... Gold pick looks sound ... A&M is really bad ... both are ... what a stinker ... personally, I'll probably pass on this game

    Currently 2-2 ATS....

    Miami/FSU - 1 :thumb:
    Ducks/IU - 20.5 :cry:
    OSU/Marsh - 17.5 :cry:
    UNLV/Wis + 16 :thumb:

    I like Oregon getting the points against an OU that couldn't cover over BGSU. I like Clemson - 1.5 over the faggies. I like the Hogs to cover 31 over ULM. I also like Minnesota -1.5 over Colorado State.

    And finally....

    Marshall +19 against UGA. (LOTW)

    LSU is now the underdog for the Auburn game according to the media. Right where we won't to be. We come out fighting and leave with a good win.

    Pick # 21/2004 … Miami –30.5 over LA Tech … Miami by 50 points here
    Pick # 22/2004 … Oklahoma –27 over Oregon … OU rolls until further notice … Oregon outmatched & looked awful against IN allowing 30 points … The Sooners will kick ass in the last of their 3 tune up games before TX Tech … Oklahoma 59 Oregon 7
    Pick # 23/2004 … Boise State –27.5 over UTEP … Poor Price shudda stayed at a Titty bar … UTEP is hapless … AZ ST clobbered ‘em 41-9 without an offense … Boise St will set the dynamo on hummmmmmmmmm and score 60+
    Pick # 24/2004 … Mizzou –25 over Ball State … Mizzou going against no defense whatsoever, last tune up … Mizzou 38, Ball St 3
    Pick # 25/2004 … Arkansas –31 over UL-Monroe ... slaughter here ... Auburn beat ULM by 31 ... and ULM has had two weeks to think about this one ... AU wishes they had the Hogs offense ... Arkansas running game is geared to go ... shut out possible, but not likely ... Arkansas 45, ULM 7
    Pick # 26/2004 … Marshall +19 over GA … 0-2 Marshall will be on a mission, GA better be ready to play, Marshall plays up here ... GA 31, Marshall 24
    Pick # 27/2004 … South Carolina –13.5 over South Florida … Will USC show up a third straight game with that good Defense allowing 13 points a game? I'm sure of it. Cocks by 28 ... 35-7
    Pick # 28/2004 … TCU +6 over Texas Tech … Red Raiders starting slow ... Symons is gone and Texas Tech Dee has been terrible ... TCU by 10
    Pick # 29/2004 … Maryland +7 over West Virginia ... Maryland ambush here with a sound Offense and Very good Dee (better than WV) after a slow start
    Pick # 30/2004 … FSU –24.5 over UAB … FSU rolls over UAB (no offense) … shut out ... No brainer ... FSU 45, UAB 0
    Pick # 31/2004 … Notre Dame –3 over Michigan St …weak MSU Dee falls to ND playing tough at home ... ND by 17 here
    Pick # 32/2004 … Clemson –2 over Texas AM … Clemson is the better team Off & Dee ... we think this could be a turnaround for Clemson this week after losing a tight game to a very good Georgia Tech Defense
    Pick # 33/2004 … Oregon State –12.5 over New Mexico … Best bet, OSU offense rolls and OSU recovered after LSU game ... this one will be a rout
    Pick # 34/2004 … Troy St –9 over New Mexico St ... My Weekly Hunch Pick ... Troy State's lack of offense hasn't stopped them from winning games over Marshall and Mizzou while scoring 20 points a game ... TROY 21, NMS 7

    Pick # 36/2004 … Memphis –22.5 over Arkansas State ... and the "Week after LSU syndrome ... Memphis State rolls by 28

    Pick # 38/2004 … USC –26.5 over BYU ... USC by 50 points here ... games like this shouldn't even be played ... BYU will cry uncle after 1 quarter like the cupcakes they are

    Just in case the Hurricane doesn't cancel these games:

    Pick # 39/2004 … Florida +3 over Tennessee … Florida may be going to SECCG … road team always wins series 4-in-a-row ... weather is a concern

    What one "guru" thinks:

    AUBURN (-1.0) 26 LSU 23

    12:30 PM Pacific Time Saturday, Sep-18

    LSU is still a better team than Auburn, even though Auburn looked really good in steamrolling a decent Mississippi State team last Saturday. That 43-14 victory sets Auburn up in a very good 66-20-2 ATS home momentum situation that is worth about 6 points. The problem is that lack of line value, as my ratings favor LSU by 3 ½ points in this game. The defending National Champs haven’t played their best football so far this season, as their level of performance in their first two games is about 3 ½ points worse than the high level I projected them at heading into the season (23.6 points better than an average team), but I’d still favor LSU by a couple of points if they played this game at the same level they’ve played their first two games. Both teams are very similar offensively, with great running backs and capable quarterbacks, but I actually rate Auburn’s offense as a bit better (+0.92 yards per play better than average to LSU’s +0.79 yppl). However, the Tigers of LSU rate the edge defensively (+1.45 yppl to +0.94 yppl) in this game. Both teams should have success running the football, but LSU’s pass defense is the best in the nation and Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell has had trouble throwing against good defensive teams in his career, including a horrible game last year against LSU (3.1 yards per pass play). I’ll lean with Auburn based on the strong situation, but the line value is certainly on the side of the Champs.
