2011 ATVS - Geaux Show Pick'em Challenge: Week 4

Ugh! A really bad week for pick'em with most of the group ending under .500. The full standings (in which we have a new leader) last week's results, and this week's games after the break.

Thanks to a down week for the rest of us, AllSaintsDay has managed to take a 2 game lead on the field. I want to stress that this early on, everyone still has a shot at the top, though those of you in single digits are in desperate need of a few good weeks.

I don't know what was more disappointing this weekend: that Notre Dame beat the spread or that ten of you still picked them. I was pleasantly surprised to see the majority take Vandy in what ended up as a blow out. Your big losses were Houston needing a last minute drive to come back against La Tech and Arkansas inexplicably failing to cover against Troy.

A smaller pick'em slate than usual, but some compelling matchups. It may be Arkansas' first time facing live ammunition, but that spread is just too high for my tastes. The spread could be even higher and I'd still take Florida. FSU gets a nice rebound while Clemson has a hangover. Mark RIcht holds off execution for at least one week. The Mizzou-OU spread looks like free money to me. We'll find out if Vandy is for real this weekend, but until then I'll give their D the benefit of the doubt.
