I bounced back from a disappointing week 10 by posting a solid 6-4 mark on Saturday.  It would have been 7-3 except for Stanford’s suspicious final minute slide at the five-yard line that prevented them from covering against Arizona State.  I also once again hit my lock of the week as Tennessee woodshedded Ole Miss [...]

Despite my recent run of mediocrity for my picks of the week, I had a very good run last week in upset handicapping.  I hit three out of five of my picks, including two near misses by my longshot picks UL-Monroe (+9.5 against FIU) and Rutgers (+10.5 vs. USF).  Both of those teams either lost [...]

I posted a disappointing 4-6 mark last week, but to my defense, I was extremely unlucky not to cover the Southern Cal, Virginia Tech, and East Carolina games. (Joking about the ECU game of course).  This week, as you will see, I love the home teams, both when favored and as dogs.  All of these spreads [...]
