Ben, on the page where you select your teams for that week, the team on the left side of the page is the favorite and the team on the right side is the underdog, look at it ????

No lines are posted yet. The team in bold is the home team, so until a line is posted the home team is the favorite.

Thx for the input fellas. OKST has nearly as good an offense and Mizzou's defense is said to be not all that great. I think this one is a coin flip with the points though so here we go:

<grabbed a="" quarter="">
<heads for="" mizzou,="" tails="" for="" okst="">
<flipping>
<dropped.....gotta re-flip="">
<flipping.....concentrating on="" looking="" the="" quarter="" into="" the="" hand="">
<caught it="" and="" covered="">
It's tails. Going change the pick to OKST.

Who Knows I did the same as Ron took OK st, they also run up scores vs Neb- really a tossup, the points helped me choose, but dont take my advice-heck look at my standings LOL
The B-12 is a wild scary place were just about anything can happen and everybody beats every body, without going into a vicory chain type of thing, its wide open and every team matches up differently against each other.
Good Luck

GT, I usually pick wrong if I think about it too long......I took Okla State and the points, I guess they could loose by 40, but I keep thinking about the Illinois game, I'm probably wrong, but I don't look to get too many right this week anyway......OSU fo me.....

Anyone of you B12 guys can weigh in on this also.

Hey Ron,
give me your perspective of the Mizzou / Ok St game. I don't / can't watch much B12 games but I'm having trouble making a pick in this one. I do know that OK St is undefeated, has a dynamic offense and is getting 14. But I also know that Mizzou has an even better offense and is averaging something like 52 pts per game. Additionally, Mizzou is 5-1 vs the spread in the last 6 against OKST......but......the visiting team has won the last 3 meetings between these two.

I initially picked Mizzou and gave up the 14 but after finding that last nugget of info, I'm second guessing the pick. And IMO, OKST is better this year than they've been in the past 3 yrs.

I may have to go back and switch..........damn...............I just don't know. What I do know is, in the SEC, if someone is laying 14pts, I always take the points because it's a conference game. Does the B12 hold true to this also?

truckdriver:

I talk about my own inebreated self quite often. Used to have the conversations with "the Mayor" all the time. So no, I realise that most of us are just clowning around. I'm clowning around on almost everything - except for serious posts that relate to actual football. Everything else is purely satire.

TT-Didn't realise that my post would be taken seriously. Have you lost your entire sense of humor since the loss to the Beavers or are you that stupid?

GeauxTigers0107 — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:54:25 -0000

Thx Cat. All it takes for that to change is for me to get the bright idea that I should lay a little smack on the picks. That would certainly be a guarenteed loss.

I gotta admit though, it still feels like I stood in the food stamp line when looking at my total on here because of the added points for the missed week. But watcha gonna do?

The Tigers will definitely give it a shot in da Swamp but, as we all know, it won't be easy. I read an article yesterday that said, starting Monday (that just passed) the coaching staff has been playing replays of all the 4th down conversions from last years match-up in BR. Also included were all of LSU's scores and the fake field goal attempt that was successful. A bit of bulletinboard material, if you will. I'm sure those guys will be up for the game though, regardless of last years outcome.

After listening to the Les Miles show this afternoon, he says he thinks they've found something they can exploit in Florida's kicking game coverage also. Les says he expects the game to come down to the fourth quarter though and expressed his appreciation for Florida's talent.

Concerning Au's loss to Vandy, I honestly wanted Tubbie's boys to win for the sole reason of keeping LSU's SOS as high as possible. Who knows what'll happen now though, as I've seen the thread about you guys OC possibly getting the boot. I'll have to go check that out afterwards.

If you click on the team name it takes you to their page, results, etc.

Thanks for the info Joe
Its really hard for me to pick on a game when I know nothing about the team or its competition. I find it hard to believe that Ball jumped some other really good teams IMHO and looking at their schedule they face like nobody- beats the heck outa me? Tulsa is #1 in the country in total offense, and they are not ranked and other one loss teams that lost to #1 and are not ranked- beats the heck outa me.
For example BYU beats Wash by 1 point- 1 friggin point and they are ranked #9- okay OU destroyed Wash
Thanks for the Info man- whats W Kent record- who have they played? I still cant believe that Ball is ranked and others are not like FSU, TCU etc etc
I dont know bout S Alabama, but I've been to North Alababma- shout out to my friends in Florence- Go Lions
BTW The Liquor is high up there- everybody told me to buy it in Mississippi- prices similar to Texas - Did I listen no- prices of boose double than the Tex price- kinda sucked because somebody robbed my jug in Greenvillie Miss, I got some in Florence Al. on my way to Murphsburo Tenn.

Western Kentucky will be a full member in the Sun Belt next season. They're in that transition period right now since they just moved up to D-1A. In case you care, South Alabama will be fielding a football team next year in hopes of moving up to D1-A by 2013 and then will be added to the Sun Belt for football then. So, all of those South Alabama fans out there can be excited about that.

I started adding the points 2 weeks ago. It doesn't really matter though... Its all just for fun anyways.

For the record, I like the deadline. I wasn't bashing it.

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe you've done it before, but this is the first that I've seen. Unfortunately I don't read every post, so if you did, mea culpa.

Hey GA-Boy Took me a while to figure this out too, your standings on pickem don't change just add some points to your yahoo score according to Ben's formula and you will rise up a little.

Okay Ben guess I'm kinda slow took me a while to figure this out, I gotta 49 missed week # 3 so here I'm 56 if you add 7 for the week I missed
After The Cowboys beat the Tigers and the Hogs beat the spread guess I'll jump up a little. I find it real difficult to really know anything about the MAC- Ball St for example & their opponents- I thought West Kent was Sunbelt- I really no nothing of these teams-Where's Tulsa and why would TCU fall so low did I miss something- dang- thanks Ben

Fellas, after two weeks of piss poor results in this thing and apparently not receiving any of Ben's bonus points, I find myself at the bottom of the fanblogs totum pole. I am even below this freak "I might be bi-curious." I was starting to think maybe Ramblin Gator is right and I should start going by Gayboy. But, alas, I have made what I know will be the winning picks this week! If I don't finish in the top 2 for this week's results, I shall spend next week like Smokey in my new avitar!

GO DAWGS!

Yahoo makes the deadline, not me...

I said I eliminate the lowest 20 each week, mostly these are 0's. The pack is now at 57.

I do look at the possibility of two missing days, but no one with two missing days is even close to making the top 10.

Also I denote with an ** who has befitted from this, so those who wish can not count them.

Those were the days, and I think that if you're one generation removed from soccer, you're in the clear, especially if your offspring lacks the 'Y' chromosome...
