OK Hen, here are my twelve picks for this week

[Jim]

It is fun seeing you beg ... so the three solid ones are in this list - you find them. Doing a "Where is Waldo" can't be that difficult with a predictor like me who can't seem to get anything right huh?

This f'in editor is giving me fits.

[Blue Hen]

No good. I can't identify your 3 best. You must supply those for a true 'reverse Jim 3 team parlay' to work.

[Jim]

West Virginia (+9) over Cincinnati
Mississippi (-4.5) over Tennessee
Indiana (+25.5) over Penn State
Northwestern (+4.5) over Illinois
Kentucky (-3) over Vanderbilt[/font]
Kansas State (-1.5) over Missouri[/font]
Idaho (+30.5) over Boise State[/font]
Nebraska (-4) over Kansas[/font]
Miami (-3) over North Carolina
Washington State (+17.5) over UCLA[/font]
Utah (+20) over TCU
Colorado (+5.5) over Iowa State

No Hen, you got the gift last week. Just think of the three stupidest predictions from above and run with them. They are staring you right in the face just like a blank lottery ticket before you pick your numbers.

Anyone think South Carolina is a dangerous game for Florida? Florida just had a great game, USC's season is in a tailspin. USC has nothing to lose. Florida is on cruise control. Could be a trap game.

[Jim]

B90, at one time I thought so. But they are immersed into their annual second season collapse much like California. The Gamecocks will put up a stiff defense but their offense will be reduced to "useless" by the Gator defense. If Spurrier's boys can actually put up 14 points it will be reagrded as a successful :o"outing" vs. Florida. I can't believe how little he is able to produce with so much in-state talent.

[Blue Hen]

You didn't give me the gift on time last week. You're on time this week but no top 3 gift. You have nothing to lose by helping a fellow NC poster. I don't understand your reluctance to share.

[Blue Hen]

Depends on the SEC 'protect Bama and Florida' officiating conspiracy. With that in question I wouldn't touch the game. I'd like Miss State +12.5 vs Bama if the officiating didn't have a stench to it.

[Jim]

But "you" Hen have everything to gain. Why should I make you $1,000 when all I get is grief from you multiple times per week? Now we agree I can't pick a damn thing right. I mean, last week started out really well for me but I went 5-6-1 when it was all over. Haven't done better than 6-6 and I think I've done that twice. I'm not getting bette am I? I see you nodding. So you've got a 50-50% chance with any three you pick. Assume with that list that I'll go probably 3-9. Now that is a 75-25% favorable RJ-list. Certainly there has to be three game that you look at and say, "what is this idiot thinking?". Dead ringers Hen. Go for it !!!

[Blue Hen]

If I could make you some $ with no cost to me I'd do it. Thanks.

[Jim]

Hen, the Alabama defense is tougher than Florida. The Bulldogs scored two TDs vs. the Gators and both on picks (100 yds and one other). Alabama by 14 at the least.

[GatorGrad]

Jim, just give him the three games that you feel BEST about so that Hen can reverse play them and we can move on!

[GatorGrad]

Anyone think South Carolina is a dangerous game for Florida? Florida just had a great game, USC's season is in a tailspin. USC has nothing to lose. Florida is on cruise control. Could be a trap game.

Well, I don't think we just had a "great game" vs Vandy. Pretty boring and vanilla actually. I am a bit worried about this game in Columbia. They have nothing to lose and will be coming out in some new cammo uniforms. It's my first game in Columbia. Any suggestions as to where to eat or what to do?

Fom someone who has never been there ... "stay low and don't drink the water".
