Week 3 Predictions

Game of the Week

Georgia VS South Carolina

The Dawgs travel to Williams-Brice to take on the cocks! Gurly has been running the ball like he wants to be my #1 pick in fantasy football next year and the only thing that is going to slow him down is Mike “the clown” BOZO! The Dawgs are riding high, as most analysts have them in the playoff and winning the SEC after their win against Clemson. Not so fast. I watched the Dawgs reel off 5 wins in a row to start 2012 only to get throttled by the Cocks 35-7. The ol ball coach will have the cocks ready, and the Dawgs better come to play. South Carolina will hang around for a half mainly because of the raucous crowd, but Dawgs take over after halftime and Gurley sets the record for most rush yards in William-Brice Stadium! Georgia 42-28. I’ll take the Dawgs against the spread as well (-6.5)

UCLA VS Texas

The Bruins travel to Jerry’s World to take on the Longhorns. Last week the Horns couldn’t stop Hellen Keller in a phone booth, and I don’t see it getting much better. I picked the Horns to make it to the CFB playoff and they have thoroughly embarrassed me thus far. I also picked UCLA to make it to the playoff but they barely beat Memphis at home last week.  Both teams have been very disappointing up to this point and this is as close as you can get to a toilet bowl in the 3^rd week. I still believe that the Bruins are going to have that “ahh haa” moment and start clicking. I’ll take the Bruins 31-26. However, I’ll take the Horns against the spread (+7.5)

Iowa State VS Iowa

The battle of the Corn! Iowa State takes on Iowa in Ames, and the only thing with more corn than this game is the porta johns at the Iowa state fair. I am almost to the point where I’m not going to pick any Big Ten games anymore because the conference is so disgusting. However, I like these corn fed boys in Iowa because they got corn…..and big deer! Iowa State’s defense looks worse than Texas’s at this point, and that’s bad, but the Cyclones played Kansas State real tough last week and Iowa hasn’t played anyone worth noting. This one’s a toss-up so I’m going with the home team. Iowa wins 24-17. I’ll go with Iowa State against the spread (+12).

West Virginia VS Maryland

The Mountaineer’s travel to clown town (aka Maryland) to take on the Terrapins. Maryland is supposedly known for their crab cakes and football. Well…..I’ve had their crab cakes and they’re definitely outstanding, but I’m not quite sold on their football. It’s extremely tough for me to pick the Mountaineer’s in this one due to the fact that Maryland will be wearing the Declaration of Independence and the most patriotic football get-up ever invented. Thomas Jefferson isn’t going to like this pick, but West Virginia wins 40-37. I’ll go with the “EERS” against the spread as well (+3.5).

!!!Upset Special!!!

Louisville VS Virginia

I’ve already picked Louisville to be upset one time this season and they upset my feelings. This time I’m out for revenge. Louisville has been playing pretty good the past two games, but they haven’t been on the road yet. Virgina doesn’t have the best crowd in the country but they’ll be pumped up for this one. Virginia’s defense is legit and I’ve heard there’s a Hooters and a Harley Davidson shop right outside the stadium, so Louisville’s fans better put Bobby Petrino on house arrest for this one. Virginia comes away with the upset. Cavs 35-32. Obviously, I’m picking Virginia against the spread as well (+6.5).
