Go by the See-Saw, Smoke a J? You know what I'm Talkin' About?

Back and forth, back and forth.  Gotta take the highs with the lows.  You know what else is good?  Yoo-Hoo with a little bit of rum in it.  No, I'm not talkin' about Rumpelstiltskin.  Anyway, the results from last week have been updated on the original post here.  Also, here is a brief summary, including a short synopsis of why things went the way they did:

• Rutgers @ Army +4.5 LOSS 31 - 21 (Margin +10)  Army threw an INT in the red zone during the middle of the 4Q and never got the ball back.


• North Carolina @ Va. Tech +4 WIN 30 - 27 OT (Margin +3)  This was heading to bad beat central when it hit OT.  Luckily the Hokies kicked a FG and UNC scored a TD instead of forcing double OT.


• LSU @ Ole Miss -6.5 WIN 17 - 38 (Margin -21)  Rarely are favorites given out here, but this was one of three this week.  Rebels jumped out to a 24-0 lead before the Bayou Bengals roared back with 3 scores of their own to bring it back to a 7 point margin.  Looks like the turnover bug burned the Tigers (can't say for sure, didn't watch).


• Michigan St. @ Ohio St. -13.5 LOSS 17 - 14 (Margin +3)  How does a team with the longest winning streak in the country and "the three best QBs all on the same team" only manage five effing first downs against a team that gave up 39 points to NEBRASKA.  Oh yeah, Sparty also started a back-up QB.  I could go insane trying to figure out this game, so I'll just chalk it up to stupid college kids choking when it counts most.


• OAK @ DET -1 WIN 13 - 18 (Margin -5)  Look at those pesky Lions getting a couple wins in a row for me.  


• DAL @ MIA +1 LOSS 24 - 14 (Margin +10)  Romo comes back and Miami continues to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.


• NYJ @ HOU +4 WIN 17 - 24 (Margin -7)  Wouldn't be a week without an outright underdog win.  This bet actually made sense.  Texans in first place after a big win on MNF, a reason to play hard.  Good thing the public was still all over the Jets.
