SKI-U-MAH!

Had a wonderful time up in the Twin Cities watching the Gophers roll the Huskers (hence why I was late to the party for picks - driving all afternoon/evening Friday night and up early for an 11 o'clock kick on Sat).  Made those picks sitting at Stub and Herbs outside the stadium.  I had already done a little research and had some idea of who I [see Vegas] liked). End sidebar:  Anyway, I (or anyone in the universe) didn't see that offensive explosion coming.  Guess Croft was setting up the QB keepers during the first 4 B1G games to break them out in this one.

Theoretical bank is ($12,320) + $12,390 + $440 = $510.

Here's what happened last week.  Held it together pretty well. Just a 0.5 point away from a 7-3 week. Alas only 6-4.

Va. Tech @ Ga. Tech +3 WIN 22 - 28 (Margin -6)  Thank goodness for the hook.

Florida Atlantic @ Louisiana Tech +4 LOSS 48 - 23 (Margin +25)  No good.

Georgia @ Auburn +2.5 WIN 17 - 40 (Margin -23)  War Eagle.

Alabama @ Mississippi State +14.5 WIN 31 - 24 (OT) (Margin +7)  Like Gus Johnson says in the BWWs commercial, "This one's headed to OVERTIME."

Notre Dame @ Miami (FL) +3.5 WIN 8 - 41 (Margin -33)  Absolutely trucked 'em.

NO @ BUF +3 LOSS 47 - 10 (Margin +37)  Wrecked point diff for the week.

LAC @ JAX -3.5 LOSS 17 - 20 (OT) (Margin -3)  Score a TD in OT you stupid jungle cats.

DAL +3 @ ATL LOSS 7 - 27 (Margin +20)  Lose Sean Lee on Dallas defense, it becomes less effective than the Huskers new 3-4 scheme.

MIN -1 @ WAS WIN 38 - 30 (Margin -8)  The Bikes are something like 6-2-1 ATS this year - two losses coming in the only two straight up losses.

NYG @ SF +2.5 WIN 21 - 31 (Margin -10)  Look at those Niners NOT going win-less on the season.
