The Week 11 FIVE and the Week 10 Three and OUT

One of these weeks I'd love to hit on both college and the NFL, but right now my college picks are just sad.

The Week 11 FIVE:

Last Week: 1-4 - Season total: 20-29-1

1. Ohio (-4.5) @ Miami (OH) [61.5] - Pick: Ohio to cover -4.5

2. Fresno State (-2.5) @ Boise State [54] - Pick: OVER 54

3. Troy (-1) @ Georgia Southern [47.5] - Pick: Troy to cover -1

4. Temple @ Houston (-4.5) [69] - Pick: OVER 69

5. Texas (-1.5) @ Texas Tech [63.5] - Pick: OVER 63.5


The Week 10 Three and OUT:

Last Week: 3-0  Season Total: 14-13

1. Washington @ Tampa Bay (-3) [51.5] - Pick: OVER 51.5

2. Buffalo @ NY Jets (-7.5) [37] - Pick: Buffalo to cover -7.5

3. LA Chargers (-10) @ Oakland [50.5] Pick: Chargers to cover -10.


Games in which I have a rooting interest this weekend:

NY Giants @ San Francisco (-3) [47] - The 49ers are riding with the rookie QB against a team with a pretty good defense and one of the worst offenses in the league not named the Bills. New York is imploding, Niners could win big here.

UNLV @ SDSU (-21.5) [54.5] - The Tony Sanchez experiment has failed. The only thing to do now is play out the string.  I would have fired Sanchez last week, after he officially missed qualifying for a bowl but UNLV isn't ran like that. Sanchez is very tight with the Fertitta brothers, so he probably gets a season or two more.

And finally.....

Michigan (-39) @ Rutgers [48] - Prediction: Michigan is going to go over all by their lonesome.

Cory: It's great to see you back on Your Drink Order...I would comment there but commenting not enabled. I must be one of the two readers. I'm glad to see someone who is not a cheerleader for the governing class of Houston. But what can be done? Local media doesn't ask hard questions. Nobody is concerned that HUD determined that Mayor Turner was encouraging segregation. I ride a bicycle to work, and let's just say that 99.7% of the streets in Houston aren't great for cycling, in spite of the bicycle plan and complete streets plan. I've got a broken thumb to attest to that. Houston has a long way to go if bicycles are to be a viable transportation device rather than a monthly Critical Mass event for folks to drink, block traffic, litter, and make a lot of noise. Proposition B will probably have a lawsuit. How quickly the city has forgotten the firefighters killed in the hotel fire four or five years ago. Developers create more impervious ground, raising the likelihood of flooding. Maybe I will run for mayor. Not sure what else can be done. It's good to see YDOP back and sorry for commenting here, but can't comment there.
