As you can see, I'm doing tweeted picks this week, as it's been a depressing week for me personally, and in the sports world for me. But, if you do not know what twitter is, basically you put up short thoughts or links in 140 characters or less, please follow me on there @pjwalk85 if you'd like to follow me!
College
Michigan at Penn State
Rivalry game = close game. Shoelace Robinson helps Michigan escape with a win.
Pick: Michigan 34, Penn State 28
No. 1 Auburn at Ole Miss
Number one in 2010 BCS rankings + tough road game = No. 1 goes down again.
Pick: Ole Miss 26, Auburn 24
No. 2 Oregon at USC
Oregon playing probably 3rd best team in conference and on road. Plus, SC is on probation, so this will be their bowl game, winners for home
Pick: USC 48, Oregon 44
No. 5 Michigan State at No. 18 Iowa
MSU's slipper comes off this week. They've played like the '09 version of IA close calls every game, and lose eventually, they've lost now.
Pick: Iowa 27, Michigan State 20
No. 6 Mizzou at No. 14 Nebraska
Mizzou had a huge victory over then No. 1 OU, first time in 25 years, now time to go to very tough environment and have let down game.
Pick: Nebraska 30, Mizzou 26
NFL
Green Bay at New York Jets
GB had tough emotional win last week, but Jets coming off bye week, means Jets win.
Pick: Jets 28, Green Bay 13
Denver at San Francisco
Game is in London, only reason why this game made the list. Both teams horrible, but San Francisco should want it more.
Pick: San Francisco 17, Denver 13
Minnesota at New England
Brett Favre is playing horribly already and now a broken ankle = lots of opportunities for NE's defense.
Pick: New England 28, Minnesota 10
Pittsburgh at New Orleans
New Orleans looked completely awful against one of the worst teams in the NFL, CLE, and PIT is one of the best teams in the NFL right now.
Pick: Pittsburgh 31, New Orleans 17
Houston at Indianapolis
Houston ran all over Indy in week one, Indy will game plan against being gashed like that again, Peyton will play better.
Pick: Indianapolis 35, Houston 24
O, and my World Series pick: San Francisco in a sweep.
idk about the penn state pick with them being at home.
ReplyDeletewhen was the last time a sweep happened in the world series? that just seems very unlikely.
Penn State is not a very good team this year, and last sweep was in 1998 with the Yankees over the Padres.
