This week’s reason I should be the SIXTH prognosticator on the set of the new FOX College Football Pregame thingy …
Total speculation with nothing behind it, but my biggest prediction?
Urban Meyer and Lincoln Riley. Next year at this time, one is the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, the other is the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Not sure which one goes where, though.
The sure-thing, 100%, rock-solid lock, sell the house, sell the kids, no doubt about it picks of the century for this week
PICK SO FAR: 51-21 SU, 37-37-3 ATS
Here’s where I failed you.
Last week, I didn’t only go with my 100-star, Master Lock, sure-thing, bet-the-house-bet-the-kids picks of the century for that week. Instead, I picked the biggest games because, well, they were the big games everyone cared about.
I did get Temple -2 over USF right, and I nailed that Wyoming was going cover the 13 against Boise State, but Penn State-Minnesota … whiff. LSU-Alabama, especially the call of going with the under? Got caught looking.
It’s mid-November and it all turns around right now.
Fortunately, these picks are all correct.
If you choose to dabble, sign up with BetMGM though this link to take part in any of these games or other action on the schedule. It’ll make the world a better place.
Using the BetMGM lines …
– Toledo -2 over Northern Illinois
– San Diego State -1.5 over Fresno State
– UNDER 45 on Fresno State at San Diego State
– Wake Forest +33.5 over Clemson (but Clemson outright)
– Baylor +10 over Oklahoma (but Oklahoma outright)
– Florida -7 over Missouri

Underrated: Sometimes, college football gets it really, really right.
1) Overrated: Any other college football wide receiver you’ve ever seen.
Underrated: The late Charles Rogers, who at Michigan State in 2001 and 2002 caught 135 passes for 2,821 yards, averaged 21 yards per grab, scored 27 touchdowns – one rushing score, and returned a kick for a touchdown.
We are deeply saddened to learn the news of Charles Rogers passing away. We send our condolences to his family, friends and former teammates during this difficult time. pic.twitter.com/M5LAsbzdMh

Sorry if this column sucked, I wasn’t my fault …
Everything was perfect. The column was driving down the field with ease, and the gameplan was working on its way to making an emphatic statement. And then came a pause so Trump could get cheered by an adoring crowd.
Immediately after that, the column fumbled just as it was about to go in, LSU marched down the field and scored, the column muffed a punt, LSU scored again, and it was all effectively over.
