Like I said, not bad overall. Looks like I've got the early lead in the ATVS writers picks, with C-Dub leading the Geaux Show hosts. Some of the more prevalent commenters are surprisingly down in the cellar, while gif master WatsonTiger had a great weekend. Here's a breakdown of how you all picked.

I'd have thought an LSU crowd would know better than to rely on the Greenies, but it looks like some folks need to learn that lesson. We all got burned on the Gators, I clearly need to give more respect to Moo U, and the Wannstache, even with the loss, was still a good bet. Make note here that for all the bluster about Cam Newton, Auburn still didn't cover. Sign of things to come?

I'm gonna keep with the SEC v 1-A, Louisiana, National format as I like it and with limited time I couldn't realy take any suggestions. There will be a discussion thread on Sunday nights from here on out to work on this problem.

 

I don't buy Auburn's D as legit, and maybe I'm a little too impressed with a win over Memphis. Still not going to take any chances on SCar, though a win over UGA changes everything. Rich Rod kills the echos before fading down the stretch. Ole Miss can beat Tulane, right? Bama's still better than Penn St., and maybe UF will have someone else snap the ball this week.

 

The winner is determined by cumulative points at the end of the season, so still plenty of time to join in. Just go to FunOfficePools.com and sign up for an account, then click the link to join our pool right on the front page, or came back here and click the link below.

Sheesh. . .

I couldn’t have done worse if I was trying to lose every game! That, my friends, is why I NEVER bet on football. I do not have the mental capacity to delve through those spreads.

Crap, that was embarrasing. I hope I can, at least, get 5 wins this week.

don't feel bad

this coming week I’m taking some pretty risky bets and I’ll either go 4-11 or 11-4 so who knows.

keep in mind, the spread isn’t what a team will “probably” win by, it’s what vegas thinks people think the team will win by. If a game isn’t getting action they adjust it higher or lower to see if people will bet on it. For instance, I would never bet against bama with a 30 spread over SJSU but that 39.5, I thought long and hard and didn’t think they’d score that much by running five yards per play. my mistake in hindsight, but it’s not just about bama winning by 40, it’s about making you think they will/won’t manage that task
