College Football Picks--Week 8

Alright readers, it's that time of the week again. Time for this week's picks. But before I give you the games, here are last week's standings:

Jason--13 Points
Jace--9 Points
Doug--7 points

Without further ado, here are this weeks lines and picks:

Florida (14) @ Kentucky (8)
Line: Florida -7
My Pick: Florida will win and will cover the spread.

Michigan (24) @ Illinois
Line: Michigan -3
My Pick: Illinois will win and will reverse the spread.

Tennessee (20) @ Alabama
Line: Alabama -1
My Pick: Tennessee will win and will reverse the spread.

Texas Tech (22) @ Missouri (15)
Line: Missouri -3.5
My Pick: Missouri will win and will cover the spread.

Auburn (18) @ LSU (5)
Line: LSU -11
My Pick: LSU will win but will not cover the spread.

BONUS WORTH (3) POINTS:
Correctly predict the number of points USC will score against Notre Dame.
My Prediction: 28

Once more, let's recap the scoring rules:

(1) One point is awarded for correctly picking the winner
(2) Three additional points are awarded for correctly picking an upset winner
(3) Two points are awarded for correctly predicting the spread coverage
(4) Three points are awarded to whoever comes closest to predicting the number of points USC will score against Notre Dame
(5) This is for bragging rights only

Have a good weekend. Go Dawgs! Oh wait, we're idle.

Other than the two big SEC matchups, this is a pretty uneventful week...to all of you who put Ohio State in your top five, I'll just remind you that they still haven't beaten a team in the Top 20, and this week they play another unranked team.

Overall though, I think the storylines on the picking experts of the site are more interesting than the actual games this week. For instance:

Will Jason make it two weeks in row or will he be another one hit blunder?

Will Jace rebound from two defeats this season to win the division?

Will Doug Craig ever win?

Will Daniel N. Adams decide he wants to actually participate?

Man, that's good TV. Much better than Ohio State vs. Michigan State.

Will Jason make it two weeks in row or will he be another one hit blunder?

Ha! Douche bag.

I think I love trash talking too much.

Kentucky wins by 10
Michigan wins by 14
Tennessee wins by 3
Texas Tech wins a shootout by 10
LSU wins by 14
USC by 45

Florida covers
Michigan covers
Tenn by 7
Mizzou covers
Auburn in an upset by 3

USC scores 21

BTW--I posted my picks last week and I think I might have won the thing. However, when I originally posted, a message said it needed approval of the site moderator...I guess I never got approval. That kind of sucked.

Marshall,

Hey man, I'm sorry about your picks last week. I never saw the comment in waiting...I'm not sure if I have that much access though. We'll just say, for the sake of argument though, that you didn't win.

:)

Weird..it shouldn't have been held.
