BON Pick Em

by UT_BKC on Nov 25, 2009 2:08 PM CST

Some Odd numbers this week (as usual). There also seem to be less the gimmies. This week seems tough.

Also, what's with the 11th game? Is that normal?

Anyway, I'd have to say USC being favored by 11.5 after a nail biter at As St and a loss to Stanford is a little odd. The only other thing I feel comfortable about on that list is VaTech beating Va by a lot more than 14.

The rest of those game are psychotic (Ark @ LSU) or the point spread is really low (Pitt at WVU favored by 1.5). Does anyone really know if the SEC is that good after UF and Bama? The gamecocks have played 5 bad games in a row (they did manage to win the one over Vandy by 4), but Clemson is only favored by 2.5. Georgia is bad this year. BAD. Please don't even try to make the case that they are not (my coworker tried to say they are "better than advertised" after his Hogs lost to them). Yet somehow a very good GaTech is only favored by 7.5 AT home. Someone must know something I don't.

Really, the main reasons for creating this thread are: 1) there isn't much (actually any) trash talking or fun smack talk going on at the board and 2) some how I've stumbled into 5th place :)

Beware!

I was in 12th place, then was hammered by the two worst weeks of picks I’ve had to date. Beware!

Yeah, it doesn’t take long to drop very far

Up to second!

Not sure how, seems like I have had an average week forever

"I don't ever miss free throws. I'm like 100-percent from the free throw line. I just don't think about missing and if you think about missing you're going to miss. I just take my time and know I'm going to make it and I do," McClellan said.

You can be average picking as long as you are certain of the picks that you make correctly :).

uh, i've stopped doing the pick'ems

because i started way too late and it’s almost statistically impossible to catch up to you guys. i think i would have had a shot at winning if i had started at week 1. maybe. next year i’ll be in on it the first week then watch out. fair warning.

In-VINCE-able.
